[Cable Television] Matthew McConaughey & Woody Harrelson's 'True Detective'

The way the cops head sticks into the 2nd frame, he looks similar to the deer that are hanging on the wall.

 

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but is there a link between hart's slutty daughter and Tuttle or the yellow king?

Remember her drawing those disturbing pictures as a child, then growing up to be a slut.

 

gonna rewatch the 1st episode

last nights episode was perfection

 

Maybe some fathers can chime in. Describe your feelings on finding out your underage daughter was in the backseat of a car with two older dudes?

Or:

Martin Hart is the Yellow King. There are signs we’d be fools to ignore. His daughter, from the time she’s young, has dark sexual inclinations and an anger toward her father that hint at some form of abuse, and which Pizzolatto wouldn’t show us if it didn’t have a point. Hart was also the one, in episode two, who stopped Cohle from entering the abandoned school at the last possible moment when information came back on Reggie Ledoux’s past. Crucially, we never heard that information except from Hart’s mouth; he was giving up details on Ledoux to keep Cohle away from the school, which was part of Tuttle’s ministries and which was strewn with devil nets and other evidence of the killer.

When the pair finally caught up to Ledoux, Hart made sure to kill him before he could find his verbal way beyond apocalyptic poetry to reveal the identity of the Yellow King. He disguises the act as righteous rage, but it’s nothing more than an execution and a silencing. And in 2012, he slowly allows the new detectives to win him over with their case against Cohle. He’s nearing some ultimate coup, and the killing was an attempt to curb his existential fatigue; to refute the truth that the good days are a myth and the future has always been behind him. Hart—another name for “deer,” incidentally—is the yellow-haired malevolence that has worked its sinuous way through the refineries and bayous and cane fields of his own hellish Carcosa.

 

Damn, I didn't want to start to figure it out again but this helps a ton. Thanks for posting this.

I'd be like this with my daughter...



But seriously

Nah, hitting her would make her even more likely to become a stripper. The ultimate barometer of fail for a father who raised his daughter.

 

I think the link is through Maggie and Hart's (seemingly) wealthy father-in-law.

 

Who is the little girl Cohle sees when he asks marty if he believes in ghost? his daughter?

Also that sandusky looking dude that was with tuttle gives me a bad vibe

 

That was one of the best hours of TV. Sooo many layers, and it just keeps getting better as they're peeled away. I can't get enough.

I assume so. The character's been prone to hallucinations.

 

Yes, that's who I had in mind in my previous post but I didn't remember his name.

 

Two different people. Tuttle is the governor's preacher brother from episode 1, Hart's f-in-law is a different guy from episode 2 family visit; but I believe they are connected via their wealth and the "satanic" shenanigans in the woods. My guess is that f-in-law initiated Hart's daughter into group.

 

Everything's been done before. That's what the public wants- they want their type of show, but just a bit different.

I think Hart's wife's characteristics often mislooked. Maybe it's the father in law. But it has to be something. Bt hate way too much family time, reflection for it to be nothing. So either it is highlight Hart as the bad guy, or there is clearly something there wih either Maggienornthebolder daughter... Or I guess the father in law...

On the Hart front, it is interesting that Ledouxs friend runs when he sees Hart. Easily explainable because Hart just murdered someone. But also convenient in a way that is oh ****, there's the boss taking us down, I'm out of here even if I blow up myself.

 

Why would Hart have gone to the trouble of being an accomplice in all of Cohl's shenanigans with the project shootout and now the meth house if that was the case?

And if that secondary meth cook was able to easily recognize Hart, surely somebody at that biker bar would have recognized him too.

There's no way Hart has anything to do with it. Seemed to me like the guy just ran because he had an opportunity while their attention was focused elsewhere.

 

It is an interesting thought though.

And that's the beauty of this series, for me.

On any other show, that would have been a completely insignificant moment that nobody even thought twice about.

But this show has trained us all to look twice at every single detail. Is this the first show to do that? Not even close, but I can't think of another series that has made me pay attention to the details as much as this one.

 

Breaking Bad was similar in that way. Seemed like every detail meant something.

 

Nice catch. I'm still not convinced woody is the golden king, but man there's a lot of smoke at his house.
