she said he had becomemorereligious, meaning he already was religious, but now he was a self righteous prick as was shown when he lost his shit over his daughter getting DP'd. yeah any father would be super pissed their 15 yr daughter was being tagteamed by a couple off frat boys, but Marty's reactions were a little too over the top. anyway, i love mystery shows, even real life mysteries on ID. i eat that up. the way clues were being dropped in this show i assumed led somewhere.

The whole clue thing, I agree with you on. That was kind of horseshit. Marty just happened to remember this house being freshly painted? Seems thin.

I kinda liked it. When Marty has his fight with his wife the first time she laments about how he used to be so much smarter and a good man. It's just reinforcing the shows theme about recurrence and helping to complete his circular character arc.

Did they explain any of the visions, hell I just figured it was just more shit about the darkness and life being a flat circle. Im still really glad the show was about the two detectives stuggles and finally getting their shit together rather than some stupid twist to make us go WTF?

They explained the visions as Cohle being drugfucked so badly in the past he still has recurring hallucinations. Given there's no supernatural tie-ins, there is no reason to expect the visions to have any deep meaning, so there's no reason to explain what they are about.

I think it's just one of those things where the 'deep meaning hallucination' trope is so overused in TV that hallucinations that *don't* mean something are so rare that people are confused when they happen ;p

Yeah I didnt really think there was supposed to be much meaning to them other than they were from fucking his brain up. Visions in the car didnt make much sense but its been a while since I watched that episode, obviously the last vision was just in his head because the constant talk about light vs dark and flat circle bs. Need to watch that last fight scene again

i think the visions is just "shit you gotta deal with". Some ppl have a knee that aches when the weather is about to go bad, he just see's DS9 once in a while. everything doesn't have to mean something.

I dont know, the fact is he has the light mashed with darkness 1 second before colliding with Erroll and immediately after killing him he has light shining down on them. Maybe im pulling an Astro but that all seemed very obvious to me. As for his other visions I have no idea what the scribble lines fucking mean, I thought those were just straight up trips but who knows

Was there any sort of explanation for why the dad was tied to that bed in the shed?

I think Eroll at some point decided to exact some revenge against his father. Remember the old black woman who had been the Tuttle's housekeeper was asked about one of the children having facial scars, she said the boy's father had done that to him.

Enjoyed the ending, very tense. Didn't even really feel like the same show for some reason.

Best show of the season was definitely the stash house robbery though.

there was already a scene with childress and green ear phones

If you are referring to when Rust spoke to him outside of the school, he did not have "green ear phones" on. I'm guessing you are thinking of this picture that was posted earlier in the thread.

Do you mean in the second GIF you attached? My assumption was that light was from the flare that was launched when back-up arrived.

i know what it was from but with how much they drilled light vs dark and had rust/marty finally collide with errol right after that vision and lay out the scrne of them both in light like that seemed to be the point but then again it might be crazy coincidence and im going full astro. Will have to wait for commentary from the wrighter/dieector

you are going full homsar. the daughter theory was a popular one. so popular the trollmeister himself Pizzolato had to explain what the fuck he was pulling. and he blew it off as nothing.

No, dude, they weren't there just to fuck with people.

Really I don't blame you, modern tv has kind of programmed us to do this dumb shit. But it really is a shame.

Bull fucking shit the daughter stuff wasn't put out there to fuck with people. It was obvious, it was easy to connect to the crimes, it's inclusion was absolutely intended to make the viewer wonder.

I always took it as the doll shit was in his head since he just saw the photo right prior, how would the little girl even know about that stuff, she would be dead or whatever if she was at one of them. How old was she supposed to be at that scene, cant remember what they said he age was in 2002

I too think there were too many loose ends. Vehement defenders keep hammering the "but it's all about the characters, not the case" point, but the entire show encompasses the beginning to end of the case. It's all about the fucking case. The first half of the season sets up things so well and then it feels like it really slows down in the final two episodes and it's a bit unrewarding. Great, great show. But I am disappointed at the end. How much evidence do you think they were able to recover from that old fort? That all led to dead ends? All this talk of the "sprawl" of this case ends with one psycho redneck in the swamp? It's really unsatisfying.

It was silly. So every troubled kid in the state is being raped by the Tuttles? The show wasn't about the crimes, the crimes were a backdrop tot he story of these two guys. Sorry if that ruined your black panther party.
