I honestly thought he had a wedding ring on, i totally missed that.

Walter said:Re: Episode 5. My favorite one so far.
Quite an interesting turn, with the investigation essentially closing for the LeDoux case, and Cohle's side of the story. I didn't think we'd arrive here so soon. The investigators finally playing their cards, I can see where the show is trying to lead us--Cohle off the grid for almost a decade then reappearing and then the new murder happens--it's gotta be him! But I think he left the force and disappeared because he didn't trust the department anymore. The Yellow King had friends in high places. So, he was still working the case, just on his own, reporting to no one. And whatever he has in that storage shed is likely his evidence locker.
Anyway, about the school he returns to at the end of the episode. There were dozens of those things in there? Implying dozens of murders having occurred there? Crazy...
Deci said:That got me thinking of Cohle's history of undercover work and how different he looks now, almost as ifhe's currently undercover, still investigating the case. Either that or he's just really let himself go. I prefer the former. Maybe both?
Deci said:I like your hypothesizing about friends in high places. Maybe The Yellow King is IN a high place.
Knowing how to cover up a crime comes with the territory when you're an investigator. You know the weak spots, and how they can be faked. Particularly if you're someone as quick as Cohle. It didn't strike me as suspicious--andDidn't Cohle seempretty familiar with "making it look right" after Hart shot that guy? He reacted pretty quickly. Though I don't like the theory about him guiding the case, it led some credence to it. If the current investigators found out there's no doubt that's the conclusion they would/will make.
Also, I'm hunching thatAubrey might somehow get involved somehow, she definitely seems to be going down a pretty dark path. Definitely more then the usual teenage rebelling, etc.

Is he really that smart or…
I believe this season will only be 8 episodes. I wonder if this will conclude or run on.
OH and Batman the animated series FTW!!!!!!!!!
Oburi said:I also think it's possible that both Hart and Cohle are still investigating the case, Hart from the inside still being on the force and Cohle going rogue and off the grid. I know they other investigators keep mentioning some falling out they had but perhaps they faked it so they could continue the case on their own terms since there seems to be a bigger conspiracy going on, possibly involving their own department and the Mayor himself.
Walter said:I don't think it's that hard a series to follow. There are certainly more complex plots in other shows. What True Detective has that most others don't is quality writing and a refined tone.
Walter said:Yes. Really, RustIt's one of those concepts that's tempting until you really think about how it would work. Of course, the show could surprise me, but it certainly doesn't seem to be the case just yet...being the killer is rather farfetched. The evidence the investigators showed wasn't convincing. He returned to the crime scene and was photographed? Do they really think Rust would be that careless if he was their guy? After all the ingenuity and insight he's exemplified through the show so far?
Walter said:8 episodes only for this season, and it is expected to be concluded, with the next season unrelated to this case. From an earlier article on the subject: "They will feature different stories and different casts." (The Atlantic)
Walter said:Yeah, it's a good show but... Where'd that come from…?

Delivered monotonously with a dead stare.
Get up, walk from the room.
or ?
Walter said:That busted tail light. I love this show.
Walter said:Very excited about next episode.
Rhombaad said:My favorite part of the episode. Cohle might be one of my favorite characters of all time.
Best show on television right now, and probably my favorite of all time. That might sound like a bit of an exaggeration, but I have never been this excited about a television show.
Hanma_Baki said:Getting better and better! Not much progress on the actual case
Walter said:Quick neat detail about the show's awesome opening song that I haven't read anywhere else. It's by The Handsome Family, and it's about a cactus that blooms once every 10,000 years. If you see it, you go insane. "It's best not to look, but you have to." As explained by them in this live performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvUiIU1b0_M
Walter said:He's definitely up there, for me. I was about to say it's been a long time since there was such a fascinating character to watch on screen, but then I remembered of course Walter White and Gus Fring.
Walter said:I really wonder what they'll do for the second season to top this...
Walter said:"I, uh... have the flu."
Walter said:That busted tail light. I love this show. Also, "I, uh... have the flu."
Very excited about next episode.
Rhombaad said:By the way, do you think the show will end on some kind of supernatural note? Or do you think the King in Yellow will end up being (just) one messed-up individual?
