maybe i'm reaching but the green ears on the drawing sort of look like they could be green ear muffs, like the kind a maintenance worker/landscaper would wear.

It could be a real foreshadowing, but it could also be exactly what Marty was saying at the start of the series. By attaching assumptions onto a piece of evidence, you start to draw conclusions which you want to see!

Thusfar Maggie is the only major character who isn't completely morally bankrupt.

Stick to James Bond analysis, Solo.

Not reaching at all. That's what I thought too.

I don't think you're reaching at all. I completely missed that, but I did get the impression there was more to the lawn mower guy (and I got the impression that Rust thought so as well given his reluctance to go back to the car)

I think it would be a little too cliche for an HBO show though. The idea that they were interviewing the guy but got distracted at exactly the wrong moment by some goose chase. What was the context for that file shot? Was it the suspect or just random persons of interest related to the case?

Ha, that is true.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

You know, I've seen a writer named Thomas Ligotti mentioned here and in some interviews a few times, so I decided to Google him.

...

I am never reading any of his work. That shit sounds fucking bleak.

 

[Man]

Just saw the first three episodes. Truly great.
Dat last shot...

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

A little girl claimed she was chased by that guy. It was when they were at the Sheriff's office going through old cases that might be connected.

Ha, In a show like this, I feel if the answer is that obvious...chances are it's not the right one.

 

[aFIGurANT]

New episode...in a week! The wait is halfway through.

 

[ivysaur12]

Fuck you, Super Bowl. I hate both of your teams and there's no True Detective tonight. And fuck Bruno Mars too.

 

[Robot Pants]

I dig this post.
No reason for this show not to air because of the Super Bowl. How lame.
Adults are fully capable of watching both.

 

[biosnake20]

If they had aired it tonight they would have a large dip in viewers. Why would they want that?

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

its a good decision, for sure.

That said, I love football and even I'd rather watch TD than the super bowl tonight

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Um, how about recognizing that people DVR shows and watch them later? Or watch via HBO GO. Seems silly to skip a week because of what others are showing. Hell, TWD returns next week and will undoubtedly pull huge numbers. Should HBO wait another week?

 

[Cornballer]

A couple interviews that popped up today:

- TV Equals: Michael Potts Delves Into His Character’s Psyche and the Importance of Storytelling
- WSJ: Writer Nic Pizzolatto on Thomas Ligotti and the Weird Secrets of ‘True Detective’

Uh, the superbowl rakes in a lot more viewers than The Walking Dead. That isn't a mean comment towards TWD either, the superbowl is equivalent to a American holiday that can be accessed through TV.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Man, I really love the intro. My current phone wallpaper:

They should have made it available on HBO Go.

Fucking dicks.

 

[Blader]

Why did they show Girls yesterday but skip True Detective for a whole week?

 

[Sanjuro]

True Dicks.

 

[Whitebison]

fucking superbowl man...

 

[PapaJustify]

Seconded.

Go Seahawks

Not disagreeing with you. Honestly I record the 11pm showing because my wife and I have other things recording at 9. The Super Bowl wasn't going to change my viewing habit but I know that's not the same for everyone.

 

[Sanjuro]

Super Bowl is irrelevant.

You don't pay for HBO for them to be concerned about ratings.

 

[Draconian]

Why did they show Girls yesterday but skip True Detective for a whole week?

I think it's re-airing tonight. Is Girls one of those shows that has storylines that continue from one episode to the next? I guess that could have something to do with it. Or maybe because it's a half hour comedy? The real answer is I have no clue.

 

[inm8num2]

Aw darn, no new episode tonight. :/

 

[The Artful Dodger]

Why did they show Girls yesterday but skip True Detective for a whole week?

Let's be honest, anybody watching Girls isn't going to be watching the Super Bowl.

Spoiler

Joking, but not really

 

[Solo]

Da fuck did Rust do to bankrupt himself so?

For a start, beating two civilians to a pulp for information doesn't strike me as particularly moral.

Yo.

They had it coming.

Is this the next great HBO series? I've run out of TV shows to marathon

Idk what kinda shows you like, but it's intriguing for sure, it's worth viewing.

I'm enjoying it more than any other recent series except for Luck, so hopefully. We'll have to wait and see how they end this season, and then what kind of story they'll cook up for next season.

 

[mysocksarepink]

I'd gladly trade the super bowl for a new ep of TD -_-

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

Up until now I thought all the whining about the superbowl was lame, but man this game sucks. Give me TD

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Yes, True Detective has an element of suspense.

edit: The Super Bowl is the worst slaughter since Dora Lange.

 

[Bloodrage]

They should air True Detective right now. Seattle won two hours ago.

Hahahahahahahahaha oh my God

 

[Kvik]

Yo.

I'm police. I can do terrible things to people with impunity.

Luck :_(

It still hurts. Probably my favorite HBO show since Deadwood. RIP.

Yep, but at least it left us with one last great Dennis Farina performance.

He killed that role.

one of the most memorable lines ever

I got to attend a script reading of one of the unaired episodes. It was amazing.

Lmao forever

 

[Jake.]

i really didn't like ep 1 whatsoever, but e2 and e3 were amazing. the intro is probably my favourite since BoB.

I may be totally wrong but one of the photos they showed whilst rust was looking at the file looked an awful lot like Marty's wife....

i noticed this too...

 

[Solo]

How can you not like Ep. 1?! I was riveted by that one.

"Maybe you should start asking the right fucking questions."
