I guess we'll disagree. I see it as divorce/parental disputes having adverse effects. I don't have reason to think her mother necessarily neglects her. Now if we're talking about Dorah Lang(spelling?), that's a whole different deal.
Either way, yours is a much more plausible statement than someone hijacking Audrey and not her doctor mother or detective father ever suspecting it. Not to mention the master of all deductive reasoning combing through the Louisiana coast without ever noticing her on the menu.
Yeah I thought this episode really picked up on that without saying it explicitly, but on the other hand, you see Rust softening who he is, and attempting to reach out to Marty and inquiring about his life.
Oh wow, what a fascinating episode. It was amazing to have an episode almost entirely devoted to Rust and Marty in the present. Seeing how each of them have self destructed their own lives with their own vices and obsessions and their longing for some kind of closure/redemption was fantastic. Still don't really know where this is all headed next week in the finale, but it's been such an incredible ride that I feel confident that I will love it.

I don't think her mother neglected her but she definitely had an absentee father at times. The girls, especially as they age, only answer to their mother in various scenes.

Man, I had not heard this. I'd be great if Jennifer Lawrence signed on as it would be interesting to see what she could do with such role. Can't imagine her schedule is open though.
You can bet your ass that the Sheriff shit his pants when he saw Cohle again on the boat. He'll be begging Cohle to just slap him by the end of it :lol
Boy are you guys gonna be mad when it turns out that there's a whole other conspiracy. Those big rigs in the intro + that boat moving across the water in the last shot + Rust and his father shacking it up in Alaska = Rust is the yellow king! He's been transporting all those missing children to Alaska this whole time. That's why those 2 kids were in the back of some sort of U-haul truck when Marty found them, huh hoh!
It's pretty easy to screen cap every little thing and point out flaws. Seems kind of petty to me. It's not like it would be noticed all that much otherwise in motion. Also my dad has a belly like that, it's called a beer gut.

Yeah right. 2 great shows does not a dethroning of HBO make. AMC is DOA once Mad Men hits. Meanwhile, HBO has been churning out the best programming on television for almost 20 years now.
I give you the Mardi Gras setup of her dolls but otherwise she's just a kid from the suburbs who is both rebelling and part of a messed up, breaking home. The sexual drawings/problems are probably fairly common when girls are starting to hit puberty and talk to their friends about what their parents told them about sex. The spirals in the drawing are compelling but are so far into Lost territory that I don't think it fits the show's aims at all. That goes for most of your bulleted list really. There's maybe something there but it's not supposed to mean much more than that the show has brilliant visual design that incorporates motifs across the season.
I'm willing to accept that maybe the final scene is a triumphant Marty visiting Audrey and then seeing her sketchbook full of the terrible shit he's just been fighting in Carcosa (or whatever we're calling the final act) but it will only serve to further the theme that evil never goes away. I feel like you're suggesting that Audrey is going to be sitting waiting for Rust and Cohle in the
No no, I am suggesting the Yellow King might throw the fact that Audrey is a victim in his face, not that Audrey will be there. Or that while Marty searches the place, he finds some sort of irrefutable proof that Audrey was there (imagine for example that Yellow King or the cult collects trophies of his victims somehow, like many serial offenders do. Maybe one trophy would be something Marty recognizes as his daughters).
Again, it's me merely tying together clear and distinctive things the show has chosen to highlight. They are not randomly in there. The question Dresden and others seem be asking is whether it would be a good place for the show to go, and I make no claim to that end. I just think the show is going there whether we like it or not, but I'm perfectly happy to be wrong here. I'd rather not predict where we go correctly
We will indeed see on Sunday if there's a part for Audrey still to play but I think it's very minor versus the grand setup that you're insinuating. For that matter what role do you think Audrey is supposed to play if she really was targeted by the Tuttles and co.?
I think as victim of some sort, but it's hard to quantify without the final pieces. It is reasonable to think it may be kept vague, but there's been so many little pieces thrown to us that I personally have to conclude they're going somewhere with it in the final episode. The show has been like that so far with most of the story points it chooses to highlight. Even minor things like the way Rust and Marty fought over the lawnmower foreshadowed what happened with Maggie episodes later.
I don't think she'll just be sitting in Carcossa menacingly or something
Just one such scenario I could think of is the father-in-law - being wealthy and connected - became entangled with the tuttles, and was part of this cult somehow. His tastes were turned onto Audrey, and he molested her.
Simple, ties all the plot points together, and doesn't necessarily need to be revealed in Carcossa. Yet it would still therefore be intimately connected to the events, and would give Marty an even greater personal vendetta - and descent into madness.
Or it could not be it. Again, we're all speculating here. But I do believe there is fire where that smoke is.
So just trying to clear up some of the lineage here:
Reverend Tuttle fathered Sheriff Childress, who fathered lawnmower man/yellow king Childress. Beat him as a kid, which is where the scars come from. Sheriff Childress talks to the family of the missing girl to cover up his son's actions, Tuttle's cousin is a senator who no doubt pulls strings in the state PD to keep them off the scent.
Is that right? And how does Marty's sheriff friend factor into this?
Ugh, Steve on Deadwood was the worst. Good character, but I hated that guy.
I just tried Shazam, too, and it can't pick it up. Wonder if it's just general soundtrack music that they don't list.

I've been pretty impressed with wardrobe all through this show. Props need to study up on firearms though ... the 1911 is a single action auto, meaning it isn't ready to fire if the hammer is down. Pulling the trigger would do nothing.
I've searched youtube as well, since there's the listing there too, but no luck.
