I think my favorite part of the show is their discussion at the tent revival. They basically borrowed this idea from Dawkins, but Cohle says, "Certain linguistic anthropologists think that religion is a language virus that rewrites pathways in the brain, dulls critical thinking." It's simple but profound.

They actually cut and reshot that whole scene, which could be just because the filmmakers are insane detail nazis or maybe you could choose to believe that they needed the extra 2 seconds it saved. The version that aired has LeDoux saying: "I saw you in my dreams. I know what happens next. You're in Carcosa now."

But the original line supports your line of thinking... it starts at 1:47 of the video:

Calling Cohle "a priest, too" is more likely just Ledoux's way of saying he's a killer as well.

What I thought.

Did anyone else think it was outrageously funny that Ladeux's fat meth making buddy didn't like Rust because of [evil aura nonsense]? I mean.. he rapes children and murders people, but Rust creeps him out? Damn, dude.

Now that you mention it, if you listen closely during that scene when they arrest ledoux, you realize he is NOT coming out of the shower then wrapping himself with that filthy towel.... Instead you hear him closing the trailer door.

It was amusing for sure. "I'm part of a child-raping murder-cult, but your soul is too dark for me to do business with. No thank you." His wording might've been a bit strange, but it was obvious he knew Cohle had some ulterior motive behind setting up the deal.

Would still be fucking retarded.

Also, lol at "TRUE DETECTIVE, IT'S SINGULAR", fucking really? If we're using that logic, it means we've got a 50/50 shot of guessing the bad guy every season unless they want to rename the damn thing.

Are you just pretending to be dense? At some point, coincidences stop being coincidences and should be given serious consideration. This is like jurors ignoring a mountain of circumstantial evidence because the killer wasn't caught on cctv. The writers are either fucking with us or Hart is involved somehow. We'll find out in 3 episodes.

You're doing the exact bullshit Hart warned Cohle of in the first episode. You're twisting shit to fit your chosen narrative. Let's suppose Hart's the Yellow King, or involved somehow, whatever. First off, everyone described Dora's new man, the Yellow King, as a tall motherfucker. Woody's not that tall. Why did Hart not dump the case off on the rigged task force when Quesada gave them the chance, especially when he knows Cohle's a smart detective with hard-on for this particular case? To keep tabs on him or something? If that's what he's worried about, why not easily take the opportunity to kill Cohle at the Ledoux compound? Shit, why even kill Ledoux instead of Cohle if he's your rapey-murdery-culty partner in crime? Why even tail Dewall all the way to the compound? Why not just say "well shit Rust, I lost him." Why go through the trouble of tracking down Weems and sticking a gun in his face to find out about the Iron Crusaders? Why almost get yourself beat to shit at the biker bar? Why bother saving Cohle and Ginger from the projects?
