What kind of fakkit hate shyt is this? They're just my theories, nothing more. I like the show and thought it was worth trying to figure out. You sound like a cocksucker man
Anyways, I think I've figured out the cigarette references in episode 6. I think they tie into evidence that Detective Hayes killed those people in a rage. Remember the people who have their proverbial "cigarettes put out" are people who were found to be missing or murdered. While in the diner Dan o'brien puts out his cigarette in his plate of food and walks away. Hayes watches him leave and then sits back down. The camera zooms into Hayes writing down information about the guy and his license plate, and in the foreground we see a blurred vision of the cigarette put out on the plate. Then after he stops writing they stand up to leave. And just as Hayes says "we've gotta watch this trash", referencing Dan O'brien, the image of the cigarette is shown to us again. Remember Harris James, someone we think Hayes killed, puts out his cigarette when he goes to get Tom in the mansion. At the beginning of the episode Wayne and Amelia are sharing a cigarette. Wayne gives her the rest of the one they're sharing and then lights another cigarette and stares at himself in the mirror. A few episodes ago when Wayne first started back on the case in 90 Amelia brings up that he's started smoking again. Later in episode 6 Henry catches Wayne smoking and says "you're smoking again?" He then passes the cigarettes to Henry and Henry proceeds to light it.
I think the cigarettes represent a satisfaction of appetite, indulgence, emotional relief. In other words, the cigarettes are foreshadowing Wayne finally giving into to those desires in him to hunt and kill. Thus the put out cigarettes are the relief fully realized. With that said, sharing them with Henry points to some future act of violence Henry may have to make. After Henry smokes his cigarette and Wayne brings up his affair, Henry asks him how he knew. His response? "You're still your father's boy." Just a guess but I think it's at least tenable.
This episode featured a lot of references to the church: the pamphlet in Tom's house about curing homosexuality, the image of the Lord's prayer, Amelia visiting a woman's refuge center run by nuns, and Harris James joking about God making the world in 6 days. I think this all will go back to that priest we saw at the beginning of the show who took the pictures. I listened to this guy's theory on who did it, and one thing he did point out was that he thought the priest did it. He also said the story is nothing but a retelling of the "Abducted in plain sight" story, but with different stand-ins. With so many references to the church, I think that theory has a lot of validity. There's more but I'll save that for later.
I still.believe in my shutter island theory. Maybe Amelia wasn't in on it but something strange is up with her.
just stop it
