I assume those notes in Julie's book was passed through that hole in the closet, from her brother.

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.

Did you know from the beginning how Season One would end?

I knew what the last scene was. I wasn’t entirely sure how we were going to get ourselves there, but I knew what it was. And if the last scene had to change because the characters revealed something to me, then it would change. But actually the last scene is the last scene that was always intended to be. I’ve enjoyed reading people theorize about what’s going to happen because it’s a sign that you’re connecting. But I’m also sort of surprised by how far afield they’re getting. Like, why do you think we’re tricking you? It’s because you’ve been abused as an audience for more than 20 years. The show’s not trying to outsmart you. And really if you pay attention… if someone watches the first episode and really listens, it tells you 85 percent of the story of the first six episodes.
What does referencing those authors mean viewers are expected to want? As a viewer, if you jump to the conclusion of what story a show is going to tell you based on some relatable references, that's on you. I went into True Detective S1 expecting a story, and I got a great one.

Good ass episode, but I gotta say it..........I miss Jeremy Saulnier's directing. :mjcry:His absence was definitely felt throughout the episode.

Anyone else feel like Amelia cheated on Hays there? Interesting parallel between that scene and the one where Wayne asks her out to dinner. She comes across as manipulative. Don't think she's involved in the murder, but perhaps her fate is one where curiosity kills the cat and she's just at the wrong place at the wrong time.

No Whammies!!
Something's still off about Amelia and the situation with Rebecca to me :patrice:

Seems like our biggest clue so far is that brown sedan and the two people in it. If the old dude that gave them the info was right, we still haven't seen who the black person is...unless it was someone in blackface :pachaha:

It also looks like there's a group of people in suits flashing badges and interviewing local witnesses, but not sharing that info with the cops.

Someone in power seems to be covering up something.

things worth noting
  • overly intimate tone of conversation between the son and filmmaker (called each other by first name)
  • notes in the closet appeared to be passed through the hole in the wall to someone and said stuff like "I'm alright" and "I'm here"
  • someone is impersonating law enforcement and running interference
  • that Hoyt company is shady and the man at the top is rich enough to safari in Africa
  • "I don't feel like trading curses, I've said my peace" is an all-time GOAT finisher

not an actual spoiler, just a large picture but the brown sedan was shown randomly in a shot of the street in the neighborhood

I hate going too crazy with a show like this with the predictions because you can spoil it for yourself instead of just watching it but.......

it sounded to me like Ali's "ghost" wife was suggesting that he covered stuff up and wasn't going by the book in investigating. we see Ali and his partner talk to the man and hear about a sedan plain as day yet we hear that years down the line there was some breakdown there following up and he can't seem to remember.

the documentary, as Ali hinted, doesn't seem to be focused on finding Julie but painting him and the law enforcement as incompetent/negligent and the son seems to be OK with that. maybe there's some resentment there (because of his sister perhaps)?
