"True Detectives Season Finale Predictions and Appreciaion post"


          

That other thread is great but just too massive and I know we are going to have a lot to discuss after tonight's finale.

Let's use this to post up any and all predictions for the finale.

Also, where does this season rank for you in TV show greatness. How does this stack up to the best seasons of The Wire or other great seasons of other shows?

Sad to see this end but it has been a great journey and I am excited to see how it all wraps up.

I understand it was about the characters, not the crime
Mar 09th 2014

Mar 09th 2014

Right. I thought it wrapped up incredibly neatly.
Mar 10th 2014

Couldn't agree more
Mar 10th 2014
25
yeah that consipracy was a lot to wrap up in one episode
Mar 09th 2014

tuttle family had already been tied in. they are all related
Mar 09th 2014
13
Not disappointed
Mar 09th 2014

I guarantee most of those loose ends you made up yourself.
Mar 10th 2014
66
      Not really, no
Mar 10th 2014
67
           um.. let's go through them then.

I was REALLY hoping it wouldnt be that simple, but even though it
Mar 09th 2014

That was def. Pizzolatto told the story he wanted to tell.
Mar 09th 2014
9
Fell a bit short but was a good effort
Mar 09th 2014
11
I'm good with it...
Mar 10th 2014
14
Very happy it didn't get all Yellow King crazy
Mar 10th 2014

Sepinwall talks to Nic Pizzolatto (swipe)
Mar 10th 2014
16
great swipe. hopefully that clears up things
Mar 10th 2014
21
I thank God for two things: (spoiler)
Mar 10th 2014
18
I agree with both points nm
Mar 10th 2014
19
big yes for your second point
Mar 10th 2014
29
it was nice to see a somewhat happy ending after all that
Mar 10th 2014
30
Only thing that didn't work for me was the final 5 minutes or so
Mar 10th 2014
20
re last 5 min; i think the script worked but maybe the delivery was
Mar 10th 2014
22
The show's not about LeDoux or Carcosa, so why end there?
Mar 10th 2014
23
      ^^^^^^^^^
Mar 10th 2014
26
      Because LeDoux and Carcosa brought them together...
Mar 10th 2014
60
           Felt like the natural end of the narrative to me.
Mar 10th 2014
83
It's all one story....light vs dark
Mar 10th 2014
24
How did they not die tho?
Mar 10th 2014
27
Exactly, Rust had a knife twisting and lifting in his stomach
Mar 10th 2014
28
yep
Mar 10th 2014
81
I said this in the other post, but I think people aren't getting the
Mar 10th 2014
31
you and the writer wants this both ways
Mar 10th 2014
32
I took it a little differently...
Mar 10th 2014
34
      ^^^this is how i took it too.
Mar 10th 2014
36
      But if the conspiracy was out there enough that the general public
Mar 10th 2014
38
           "We didn't get em all, Marty." "We ain't going to."
Mar 10th 2014
51
           I think it is naive too, but who watches the news....
Mar 10th 2014
52
What made the chase scene so incredibly tense for me was the
Mar 10th 2014
33
don't care about the conclusion, but I do care we "met" Errol
Mar 10th 2014
35
the brittish accent comes from what he is watching on tv
Mar 10th 2014
77
      yea I get that, it just all felt played.
Mar 10th 2014
80
           i definitely found plenty to nitpick but seeing errol was important
Mar 10th 2014
82
If you're disappointed in the ending, it's b/c you didn't pay
Mar 10th 2014
37
Yo, you should never have to read a writers interviews to fully
Mar 10th 2014
39
actually the first episode clued you into the set up of the story
Mar 10th 2014
42
      Yeah the beginning of every book, movie story sets up the story.
Mar 10th 2014
45
           welp perfect way to sell a DVD with deleted scenes huh.
Mar 10th 2014
46
           agreed again
Mar 10th 2014
49
           ^^ You're speaking my language. I agree completely.
Mar 10th 2014
50
           So what was the show supposed to do to "subvert"...
Mar 10th 2014
61
                Twist endings are, IMO, the least subversive genre tool imaginable.
Mar 10th 2014
85
lol
Mar 10th 2014
40
and it ends...
Mar 10th 2014
41
BTW, Who was the Yellow King?
Mar 10th 2014
43
The Yellow King was probably the deity of the cult members.
Mar 10th 2014
48
The Yellow King is an idea or belief, more or less...
Mar 10th 2014
53
yes
Mar 10th 2014
55
From Carcosa... maybe it was this:
Mar 10th 2014
54
Oh, I guess that's better than it being an actual person.
Mar 10th 2014
58
      How many people actually mentioned the Yellow King though?
Mar 10th 2014
65
it's not that deep.
Mar 11th 2014
98
blu-ray does need to have extensive extra's though... 2 ?'s I want answe...
Mar 10th 2014
44
You guys let the internet make more out of the daughters than...
Mar 10th 2014
57
      And they could have done that with less specifics
Mar 10th 2014
62
      For me
Mar 10th 2014
95
Here are the predictions I made in the other post. I think I was mostly
Mar 10th 2014
47
Was that some sort of portal Rust was looking at before he got stabbed??...
Mar 10th 2014
56
Will you know dude was prone to hallucinations.
Mar 10th 2014
59
      I thought all those voices were in his head
Mar 10th 2014
63
           eh Marty heard him enough to find him
Mar 10th 2014
64
So which actors/director(s) do you guys want for season 2?
Mar 10th 2014
68
I'd actually like to see them move away from two cop partners
Mar 10th 2014
69
I'd love to see Michael Shannon on this show...
Mar 10th 2014
70
i read somewhere nic p saying the 1 director thing wont work again.
Mar 10th 2014
73
if a viewer didn't read one of the 100+ Pizzolatto interviews..
Mar 10th 2014
71
YOU'RE JUST WATCHING IT WRONG!!!!
Mar 10th 2014
72
the conspiracy died as the people involved did though.
Mar 10th 2014
74
but by 2012 there wasn't much left of the criminal conspiracy
Mar 10th 2014
76
most of them were dead and that made for a convenient narrative
Mar 10th 2014
79
      what was the show trying to challenge though?
Mar 10th 2014
90
What depth in the crime element was there? I'm missing it.
Mar 10th 2014
84
dug the finale, but it's the only ep i have little desire to see again
Mar 10th 2014
75
This!
Mar 10th 2014

Mar 10th 2014
97
Last two episodes dragged it down from "brilliant" to "good" for me
Mar 10th 2014
78
except it didn't
Mar 10th 2014
88
      exactly. most conventional shows
Mar 10th 2014
92
      Ehh, it kind of did actually.
Mar 11th 2014
99
Was the Lawnmower guy looking to get caught?
Mar 10th 2014
89
who he chose to display and why was never addressed unfortunately
Mar 10th 2014
91
My opinion: he was prepared to 'ascend'....
Mar 11th 2014
103
Some of y'all niggas is absolutely amazing.
Mar 10th 2014

Terrible move by HBO. May cost them... this year, at least.
Mar 27th 2014

      I don't think True Detective will sweep. But McConaughey will still win
Mar 27th 2014
