What's the thing about her left eye?
I don't mind a few posts here and there, but you guys really outdid yourselves last night. I deleted a bunch of the derail. Please get back on track now. Thank you.
I really love the way this series is shot. So much greatness.
But I wish I'd get to know a little more about the background of the case. The occult stuff is only dealt with very briefly and the last two episodes will most likely be about bringing the case to an end and McConaughey/Harrelsons relationship. Not nearly enough time to introduce the yellow king and shine a light on his backgrounds.
One or two episodes more could have solved that I guess - but maybe the series is heading in a different direction, so I guess I should keep my criticism for myself for the next two weeks
Right. They changed up Marty's hair, but otherwise he looks mostly the same. I assumed it was one way of showing that Rust has been putting some extra miles on the tires the last few years between the booze and possibly the drugs.
We need to have him rip off the wig and take off the makeup when they get to the bar together - turns out he looks just like Rust circa 2002! It was part of the plan all along.
Very true.
Marty's a big goddamn hometown hero as far as that part of the world is concerned. That's why Rust is so fucking pissed with him. Marty's sinful shortcomings (wrath, pride, lust) have been covered by Rust's natural investigative techniques and successes at gaining confessions, and it's Rust who ends up getting kicked in the ass by the brass, even when Marty is the fuckup. Marty's the one with the big happy family that he mistreats time and time again, while Rust is the one who goes home alone, and the one time he lets his guard down with Marty's wife, who came to him under the pretense of comfort, he gets used for revenge for Marty's transgressions. Marty knows how much of a chickenshit he really is, to boot... that's why he was prepared to put a bullet in Rust when Rust pulled him over... he fully expects his past to meet him.
