The preaching part didn't do much for me, but I thought he was fine in the subsequent conversations with Rust & Cohle.
Yeah, it's disappointing that he isn't writing them up. Hopefully he'll tackle a few episodes later this season.

Yeah I'm kind of with you. The words made sense, but he didn't have that fire and brimstone thing going on. Though maybe that in itself is perhaps a bit of a cliche and perhaps outside of the TV evangelists it's less aggressive. Also maybe they didn't want to play him up too much as a suspect.

Id like to thank True Detective for some truly fucked up dreams I had last night. The ending really was nightmare fuel
This show is legit. Rust is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters in any show, period.

Why would they end this episode like that?! This is why I don't watch anything new, I can't wait for next episode. Now I hear there isn't even going to be one next week? This ain't right. Rust is right we should just walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.

How did he describe the handicapped kid's record?
He did something in somewhere for something?
The terminology/slang/dialogue on this show makes The Wire look like a Good Wife pitch session for technology titles.

really? I haven't noticed much hard to understand stuff. He was in jail for getting his knob out outside a school and his balls were cut off in jail, badly.

Despite being a diehard fan of this show, I must admit, present day Rust's soliloquies are starting to get grating. It was a nice window into his head for the first episode or two, but the guy is damn near insufferable now (keep in mind I still think MM is doing an amazing job). Old 1995 Rust is awesome though.

Alexandra Daddario was goddess-like in that scene.
The Bloods neutered him in showers while he was in Angola Penitentiary, and apparently did a very sloppy job of it.

No, I wanted to know the exact line of dialogue because it was so phenomenal, but I couldn't remember it.
Even knew what Angola was, since just last month I watched documentary called Life in Angola Prison.
HART: I could see this being some kind of retard job. Pays for it, gets ashamed, overreacts, tries to redeem the act, like, you know?
RUST: That's not bad, Marty...
HART: Well, yeah. I got all the way there without your help.
RUST: But it's not him. He did a deuce at the farm for dick wagging. Should've been in a mental ward to begin with.
HART: Give me the second half.
RUST: Angola. Some Bloods caught him in the shower, took his balls off with a razor. They were sloppy about it.
HART:Oh, Jesus.
RUST: Still, I braced him. He shit himself, literally.

HBO showing how it's done. A-gain.

I caqn vouch for these as well, but specifically, everyone needs to watch Killer Joe and then go get a tasty bucket of KFC afterwards.

Why did Rust even need a mower? He lives in an apartment

It's weird that Marty has all these rules that he tells others, but then goes and eats Daddario's ass behind his wife's back.
LoL - This is a valid question...
I instantly thought King of the Hill. That's something Hank Hill would say. Heck, I'm pretty sure he has said it.
He yeah I thought the same thing, it's the only thing that put a damper on another great episode. May stop watching the next weeks previews. But loving this show and sucks there's no episode next week because of Super Bowl.

Half the time McConaughey talks, I don't know what he's really saying, but god damn is he saying it pretty.
'I'm not a psycho'
Haha, yeah that was awesome. Good EP! Although I think the dude in the last shot looked ridiculous.
I think it's just that MM has more to work with. Woody's character is slowly but surely getting more interesting.

Echoes Rust's "I'm not a maniac" when Marty wanted him to not say crazy shit at dinner.
I've been to revival, but not in a tent. It was bleachers for a high school, and he was on a makeshift dais.
Is it an apartment? I thought it was like a tiny postage-stamp size house.
I'm glad we finally have Southern accents that aren't used as shorthand for "stupid". Andy Griffith did his part for the longest time. He could be goofy, but the characters he played (Andy Taylor, Ben Matlock) were ultimately crafty and usually slicker than their supposed betters, many of whom did not have Southern accents.
Now McConaughey has made it stylish and smart. I like that, and I don't even have much of a Southern accent.
Edit: The name Ledeoux made me think of "the deuce", as a euphemism for Satan or Satan's work. (As in "what the deuce".) Not sure if it's a real connection.
it's going be amazing if/when they have a full on fightЯAW;98657321 said:
Yea the last episode was certainly a lot more MM narration. I think both guys will get their chance to shine eventually though. It seems like MM and Woody are moving in opposite directions. MM remembering what it meant to be a Dad and Woody shrugging off the responsibility while claiming to be a real man's man. So hype!!
Haven't watched Justified yet. Shameful, I know, but something has to give.

You know, we are beaten over the head with the idea of the revival preachers being super slick, polished hucksters in movies, and TV. I took Eli's acting as another indication that this region is basically shot, and gets a low-rent preacher.
I'm sure that casting got exactly what they wanted when they hired Whigham.

I cannot believe this woman.
Sweet Jesus.
Sweet Jesus.
I'm OK with that interpretation. I love the actor -- I just wasn't sure I felt what I expected in that scene.
One point in your favor: there are certainly better things to give the preacher to say, that would have played to what I know of manipulative preachers. It would probably be best to go back and reread what he said in the context of what Rust and Marty are talking about. That is probably a better place to look for meaning.
Ha, I was just about to say that.
That scene made me think of the twins in The Shining. Not sure if it exactly fits, but that's what I thought about.

shieeeet what a fantastic ending
only problem I have with this show us how edgy rust is, it's getting a bit obnoxious now. There had to have been a subtler way to write his character.
