True Detective - Season 3 (Jan. 13th/Official Thread)

[BXKingPin82]

Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff are bringing back the Bradley Cooper/Woody Harrelson feel

:colehuh:

It's looking like the show is back to form this season.

I've been salivating for that next episode.

:colehuh:

It's been Bradley Cooper ever since

Eh....

I can't say I agree with this at all. If Nic Pizzolatto was out here giving vanilla interviews strictly about the story he was telling, or how his world view informs the show, etc.....basically what David Simon does....ok, cool. I agree 100%.

He chose to name drop weird fiction and/or cosmic horror writers damn near nonstop while promoting the first season. So yeah, people are gonna look for things that would justify those name drops. It would be like if David Chase constantly talked about Edgar Allen Poe in relation to the new "Sopranos" movie....people are gonna expect a pay off of some sort.

That, coupled with the fact that they made some frankly stupid production mistakes (using the same picture in Marty's bedroom as the wall paper in the psych ward, having Marty's daughter causally draw a crooked spiral in her doodles)....yeah. You can't really make those kinds of mistakes then be surprised when people expect some crazy twist.

People figured out who the Yellow King was pretty quickly. He told said people, I'm not tryna trick you. He literally did this before the finale, I can up my post citing it from season 1.

I'm not talking about something as basic as the identity of the Yellow King. I'm talking about him mentioning Bierce, Ligotti and Lovecraft several times during his press run. And/or using their material as "inspiration" during the first season.

I ain't even complaining really, because I love the first season but you invoke those authors, people are going to expect more than what we were given. And I don't necessarily mean a twist in the conventional sense.
