Ruin is a harsh word. Using Game of Thrones or Penny Dreadful as examples of multiple directors doing pairs of epsidoes in 10 and 8 episode series, respectively, there will be visual differences. Tighter shots on actors, camera movement choices, that kind of thing. Different directors will choose to present the material in the way they think it's best suited.
I thought they weren't starting shooting for a couple of months?

I'm starting to believe that the second season will not air in February.
Oh it wont. Perhaps it'll be after Game of thrones.

Haven't they already said that it will air in the Summer (the True Blood spot)?
Of course it won't. Even if they start shooting right now, it won't be ready for Feb. But if they don't start shooting soon, it might not be ready for 2015 at all!
That was never a realistic expectation
Yup. I think True Detectives success surpassed what HBO or anyone was expecting. They might start a significant marketing campaign for season two and let it be released end of 2015.
From what I remember Season 1 took 8 months to shoot. Even if they start shooting season 2 tomorrow, and say it magically took half the time to shoot i.e 4 months, I still don't see it being released by at least fall 2015.

Colin Farrell is a tremendous actor when motivated and given the right material.

Go to the casting thread, that's where people complain.

I kinda feel the same way but I'm glad we are one step closer to season 2.
I need more True Detective
The negativity in that thread is driving me crazy.

If it was Fassbender/Mortensen/Elba or other GAF favorites folks would've complained.
I'm hoping for some Latino actors being cast. The Bridge has raised my standards on the treatment of minorities in a show.
we'll get a latino informant whose taking care of his sick abuelita while struggling to get out of the gang life only to be dragged back in time and time again.

Confirmed: Colin Farrell has been cast to play a Mexican as a nod to Charlton Heston in Touch of Evil.

NY Mag cut a fake True Detective S2 trailer using Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn footage.
Also, Funny of Die with Kate Mara and Ellen Page in True Detective Season 2: Tiny Detectives

Nope. There will be a new thread or a title update if there's news.

I could have sworn that I read somewhere that they wanted to put out extended cuts of a few episodes. But when I looked at the Blu Ray on Amazon it said 460 minutes. Can anyone enlighten me if that ever happened?
All I remember was Fukunaga saying that original cuts of some episodes were near 90 minutes, but they were edited down-- I don't think they were ever promised to be edited back in for the home release. The blu-ray just has two deleted scenes totaling 10 minutes

I would really have liked to see the Original, but I guess it is what it is. Once again blinded by wishful thinking ...

I still believe this cast could use some Tm Riggins.

Vice put together a video reviewing the events and officers involved in the real Louisiana case that inspired True Detective:

So I just finished watching this recently. So good. There was just so much going on, so many levels and themes and meanings. It was properly good writing. And great work behind the camera and really great acting from Harrelson and McConoughy.
I see some people were disappointed that the greater mysteries/conspiracies weren't really revealed, but it makes sense really. And also there was so much more to the show than just solving the mystery. It ultimately was able to explore its themes more deeply by ending the way it did. It's been interesting finishing the show and going online and reading some analysis. Some of it very good, some of it really shallow and dumb - from sites I've always suspected of being a bit shit.
I wonder if the second season will pick up any of these plot threads or return to the mythos of the evil behind the murders. It probably will as the whole hidden devil worship in society thing is continuing, apparently.

Yeah saw that last week. Shockingly and tragically close to what happened in True Detective.
Also I'm in love with that hipster journalist.
Haunting.
For those wanting a True Detective fix while waiting for season 2.
Just a warning, some dark stuff in this clip.

Just a warning, you should read the threads you post in. =P
Seems a bit premature given a single second of Season 2 has yet to even be filmed. I'm all for curbing expectations, but come on.
Yeah, I missed that, by a mile.

just watched the last episode, why is it so bad? reminded me of the "ending" of adaption
Robot Pants

Yea the last two episodes were pretty disappointing. The whole thing just ended up going nowhere after all they built up.
no clue. show's main storyline was about these two cops after this maniac, and at the end
they get the maniac

Seems like the events of real life case the show is based on were far worse than what was shown. TD also avoided touching the satanism aspect.

my main complaint with it was that solving the mystery wasn't all that interesting. They just kinda go "Oh."
That said, the show was largely character focused, which leads into the other complaint of Rust having a major character swerve with his near death experience. I didn't mind it so much, but a lot of people didn't buy his change and felt it undercut a lot of the shows themes.

That shit was so completely out of left field it wasn't even funny anymore. It explicitely went against like 10 things he said in prior episodes.
For a character that always preaches about deluding yourself to get up and delude himself real hard was just mind boggling writing to me.
