In EP 3 at the church tent the girl mentioned a tall man with scars (like burn scars/shiny) on the jaw.
The girl in EP 6 mentioned the scars but no location. Are these the same tall guy?

Finished The King in Yellow.

I have a few theories based on the book, but I don't think reading it would spoil anything of the show or vice versa for those of you that are curious about it.

I would be disappointed if understanding True Detective was dependent on reading the book. Everything the show has crafted stands proudly on it's own.

Agreed. Again, based on reading I have some theories as to how this plays out, but I was wondering how heavily they'd borrow from the book or if it'd shed some crucial insights, and it doesn't. If anything it's just going to make rewatching the show that much more enjoyable.

 

[Bodacious]

Weakest ep of the season for me.

Makes sense that it would be. 8 episodes, good storytelling. Establish a theme, build it to a first crescendo, drop back 3/4 of the way through, then blow it out for the end. I do not anticipate disappointment from this series, unless you're going in with specific expectations.

 

[Dan]

In one of the interviews its mentioned that S2 currently had 3 leads, not two, but that nothing was set in stone,

I think he only said there were three characters that he was loving getting into their heads like Cohle's, not that they were all necessarily leads.

I think the next episode will set up a redemptive moment for Hart, but Cohle? There's no saving him, and his despair is in knowing that. Guess this ties in with what Maggie says about Marty - how he used to say there was no such thing as forgiveness, only short memories. Marty can forget, Rust cannot.

I'm not so sure about that.

Marty had numerous quotes that could hint that he still holds a grudge against what happened like "my biggest mistake was inatention" or "The answer was right in front of my nose" and the fact that the first thing he does after seeing Rust is readying his pistol. He also didn't seem to regret any of his actions beyond the fact that his marriage broke up, which makes change of heart unlikely imo.

Rust hasn't changed much and it would be fitting if Marty was still just as self centered and self delusional as he has always been. The conflict between the two is still unresolved (The backlight of Rusts car is still broken).

Watched the episode yesterday and I really liked it. This show is sooo good. Also dat Beth and Maggie, damn.

I wonder what's gonna happen next. Marty doesn't trust Cohle fully yet as he was seen loading his gun. Next week can't come soon enough.

Oh man guys did you see those asses? Was some mighty fine booty.

Ahum. The case didn't progress much, but I really appreciate the focus on their broken relationship. Marty's attracting all if these gorgeous women. He can't help himself! Rust was pretty intense this episode. Pretty amazing stuff.

While I love this show, the best parts of this episode were the two amazing booties we were graced with.

The Tuttle meeting, Maggie's scorched Earth policy, dat ass, Rust and Marty going for a beer and much more. Damned good episode. The little cracks in Rust's cool, detached veneer were the best. His resentment towards Marty was surprising in its normalcy. Busting his ass on a case nobody wants to confront or acknowledge, no wonder he didnt want to type up reports.

Faith tells me that wasn't a stunt ass.

I tried to reimagine Maggie's ass last night for a quick fap before bed and I couldn't focus. This will be very helpful.

Maggie says hi http://gfycat.com/SplendidParchedAoudad#?format=gif Didn't embed since it's NSFW.

Thanks. Peeped the Reddit thread. Such a nice booty. I laugh at some of the posters there thinking it was a stunt booty. That was all her.

That was the reason why i put up my link. Better (drag to zoom): http://gfycat.com/GoodQueasyGibbon

Thinking the same thing, to be honest. Was there confirmation it was really her and not a stunt booty?

Wonder if Marty ever cheated on her aside from D'darrio and the ex-bunny rancher. His attitude and personality suggests he's a chronic cheater/alcoholic, so I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

Obviously some of those are more thristy than others, but come on if you think there has only been one post.

Holy fuck dude.... bad start

First off, I said previous two pages. As in the two before this one. We had already addressed this page, you said three pages, and I pointed out how one post applies (Loki's).

Secondly, I was ready to move on, but you threw in a falsehood that I decided to address, especially since it was funny/ironic (Loki is famous for his extremely long posts, but is found simply talking about butts).

If you want to go back four pages, fine. Maybe there was a lengthy discussion about butts. Whatever. Point was that there were a couple dudes posting about butts, amidst and dwarfed by discussion regarding season 2 casting (etc), and I thought it was silly of you to complain. Let people celebrate what they want, so long as they're not taking over the thread.

My sincere apologies to those subjected to this conversation. This is far worse than "dat ass".

With that said, Gene Hackman for S2 please.

I hate to break it to you but he retired from acting over a decade ago. Dudes like 84. Great actor, but way too old to start walking the boards again after such a hiatus least of all do an intense 6 month TV shoot.

Good choices. I think Jessica Chastain would be great, as well. And/or Julianne Moore. I swear, I'm not consciously picking gingers.

I'd be up for a series with either of those two in. I think they're both decent actresses (especially Moore), and I also happen to like Red heads.

I think if anything what True Detective has shown is that as a format it's a good opportunity for an actor to demonstrate range, without necessarily tying themselves down to a lengthy commitment. I think the people most hungry for the work are more than likely to be those who perhaps don't necessarily get a lot of opportunity to do that sort of thing, or who have dropped off the radar some or need to rejuvenate a flagging career. I could see someone like Ed Norton being a good fit. The man was a very talented actor early in his career, but somewhere along the way he lost himself and now he's no longer a headline act.

Yeah, good point. High production values, short run, no further season, it would be a perfect chance for plenty of typecast or underrated actors to give it a shot.

Wasn't the actual filming of the show extremely long? I think McConaughey or Harrelson said it felt like shooting two or three movies back to back.

[Dennis]

at its heart the show is about two detectives and how they and their partnerships evolved over a period of 17 years. Their relationships to everyone around them is ancillary and not the main narrative focus. The women are underdeveloped and are there to serve the story of the two male leads. If that sort of thing bothers some people then it is fine. People have different expectations out of fictional work. For me if the other characters merely exist to serve the tale of the two protagonists then it is ok. I can live with that and I am enjoying it as it is right now.

This hits the nail on the head.

I do think the Marty sex scenes are pretty gratuitous and mainly there to tittilate the viewer. I am not really buying that Marty would be such a magnet for unusually attractive young women.

 

[Dead Man]

Seems about right? 8 hours of film, about 2 or 3 movies worth, or do they shoot a lot more per finished hour for movies?

 

[potam]

I assume that compared to a standard television show, they shoot a lot more that gets cut in films. But, since everything about this show is filmic (teehee), I'd bet that they're about equal.

 

[Socreges]

Does anyone really have any issue with Beth being attracted to him? It makes perfect sense. Consider her history and what he represents to her.

Lisa is harder to explain. Not unprecedented either, though. He's powerful and confident, which can go a long way. Certainly doesn't ruin the suspension of disbelief for me, at least.

That's.... not really how it works. It's not just about how much you shoot, it's also about how much you get done in a given amount of time.

The typical shooting schedule for a film is about 3 months. That means you budget how you can complete all the shots you think you need in that amount of time. If you need to do pick up shots later during post-production, it's possible if you can afford it.

For serials, the overall shooting schedule itself might not be longer, it might actually be shorter than film. You just have to get more done in the limited time, so everyone might have to work harder, or corners have to be cut. Shooting a full 22 episode season could take maybe 6 months. That means it's a lot more rushed shooting TV than film.

True Detective had about 100 days of principal photography iirc, which is pretty damn long for a TV schedule, especially one which only has 8 episodes. In terms of actual time allocated in terms of days that's about a single film shooting schedule, but it means that everyone involved had to work much harder every day to get more done. Since the entire series was filmed on location, it also meant they had to deal with harsh weather, wildlife, and so on.

Cheers. So the shooting for TD was long for a tv show, and busier than a film would be? That'll do it.

I'm hoping for a bluray next year with this first season. I would buy it.
Also, having True Detective start, then House of Cards released, and Game of Thrones starting season 4 in a month (4/6) means I am a happy camper. Life is good.

 

[theaface]

Loved episode 6, as I have done the entire series so far. The thing that really struck me this episode was an implied sense of unbearable and stifling heat, whether it be literal or figurative, that seems to be pushing everyone to madness. It's like some sort of unseen malovent force that drives the forces behind the central murder conspiracy, drives Marty to cheat, his wife to do the unthinkable with Rust and that generally elevates Rust's restlessless.

The way the show is put together is a masterclass is painting a mood that pervades every scene and every action of each of the main characters.
