[The Artful Dodger]

Has anybody actually read anything by Nic Pizzolatto? It's pretty impressive he wrote the entire show on his own, I'd like to read some of his writing.

Out of context, this scene is hilarious as hell.

Was thinking that also. His writing is great so far in the show.

 

[lamaroo]

So good to hear a second season is being planned, can't wait to see what he has in store for the rest of this season, and what he comes up with next season.

I haven't read any of his work, but I've heard good things about Galveston.

 

[Socreges]

I hate the ads for this show being shown on other channels. Now that I've seen two episodes and know some context, there are little bits that are obvious spoilers. I kinda know what's going to happen next just based on one 2-second flash of a man walking.

 

[Technosteve]

This show is weird

 

[Pingoreous]

While watching this all i can think of was

Hannibal

The thought of Rust just randomly showing up to mow Hart's lawn is hilarious.

Spoiler

Metaphor. Not that I dont think Rust wasn't mowing the lawn, but there's fear in Hart's face there.

I know what you mean, they've been showing pretty frequently on TSN, like every commercial break. I just look away from the TV now when it comes on.

Had to turn this off when the Strange Corner of Wall Street Warrior on the left started using the word 'posited' instead of 'boring nonsense I came up with'.

There's a lot of interesting speculation about this show, and these guys covered none of it.

 

[Cornballer]

New episode tonight:

The Locked Room

Spoiler

Parishioners identify a scarred man seen with Dora Lange; a sex offender is brought in for interrogation; Maggie sets Cohle up with a friend; Cohle looks over old case files.

 

[Loofy]

Not liking it so far. Its already been 2 episodes and I feel like we're still in the first 10 minutes of Seven or any serial killer movie.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

New episode tonight:

Sounds like a busy ep tonight. Can't wait!

 

[RustyNails]

So it's pretty much certain that Rust accidentally killed his own daughter right? Something to do with his house being near a bend. Daughter was probably on the street/driveway and he didn't see her in time because of the curve.

Hadn't even thought of that. You're probably right.

I wonder if Rust ends up mentoring drug abusers in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

 

[Talon]

Sign me up for Ed Norton and Aaron Eckhart in season 2, please.

Just had a thought, isn't it possible Matthew/Woody going to take the Emmy's from Cranston/Paul next year? True Detective over Breaking Bad too?

They'll submit in Miniseries.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Today is an awesome day. New episode and awesome Rangers game. mmmmmm

I understood that reference.Gif

 

[RustyNails]

I'd love to see Al Pacino along with someone younger. It could have an interesting older vs newer dynamic of detective work. Think of Insomnia Al Pacino but more decompressed into a miniseries.

Insomnia. Pacino is amazing.

This scene's directing/framing reminds me of

Spoiler

oldschool John Carpenter circa Halloween. The way the sun setting bathes the scene, just brings me back to the Annie/Laurie scene that transition the movie into night. I have no idea why Rust would just go and cut Martin's grass but man I can't wait to know why. Did he hallucinate/get high again?

 

[sangreal]

Se7en is 2 hours while this is 8 hours. So yeah, it's the equivalent of being 15 minutes into a movie. Not sure what you were expecting. The great thing about TV is being able to go deeper due to the longer runtime

 

[Serra]

I like it alot so far.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I feel like Kevin Bacon would be such a better fit for this show than The Following. The Following is wasting him.

 

[Deku Tree]

Ready for tonight's episode.

 

[Robot Pants]

So if my hbo go is running on a cable subscription in the pacific timezone, do I have to wait until 10pm PST for it to show up? Or will it be on GO after it airs on the east coast?

I hope so. Are they doing this interview shtick for the whole season? or are woody and rust gonna reunite pretty soon and do some detective work.

I feel like the entire Cast is too good for that show.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Except Natalie Zea. She's right where she belongs.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Nope, once it starts* airing on the east coast, it'll appear on HBO GO.

*Sometimes it takes a few minutes to appear.

Oh hell yiss.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

patiently waiting

 

[Cornballer]

Here we go!

 

[lamaroo]

Just love this opening.

Eli!

 

[Cornballer]

Eli preachin'

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Eli! He's been popping up in everything recently.

 

[Robot Pants]

Just love this opening.

The opening is so great. Whoever did it definitely knew their shit.

 

[Cornballer]

"Mr Charisma" <-- heh

 

[~Kinggi~]

Lmao, that was the guy.

 

[~Kinggi~]

We gettin some real talk about religion in this show.

 

[Cornballer]

"The tall man" doesn't sound sinister at all. Nooooope.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Truth.

Except Natalie Zea. She's right where she belongs.

I can only remember her in thankless roles in Justified, The Following, and the pilot of Person of Interest.

She's aight.

"The tall man" doesn't sound sinister at all. Nooooope.

I remember it being a terrible film with Jessica Biel.

 

[~Kinggi~]

This show has remarkable writing and acting its pretty great.

 

[Bloodrage]

DEM TITTIES MOTHERFUCKER, DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT SUCK THEM?

 

[Cornballer]

The car conversations are the best.

 

[ezekial45]

Holy shit.
