I went back and watched the first episode again...which isn't something I'd normally do so soon, but this is a fucking special occasion

and yeah the dialogue is still awkward in that one even with more context. caught some shit I hadn't before, though.

watched 5 again, too. outrageously good. the m-brane bit

is this a show about how it's a show? the m-brane idea, the meta king in yellow shit...how many times have we had this conversation?

yeah i did get a little feeling when cohle was talking about a gaze existing outside of time, or timelessness. superpositionally? then assigning it a name "Them". like he shifts. for lovecraft weird tales *ahem* chambers etc it could be a supernatural being/elder god right? but also yeah i could see it potentially be us assholes watching the show over and over again and posting gifs on the board?

Hopefully not. That seems like a pretty dull layer to add to such a weird show.

im the true detective, dude

this is a good point. his tattoos dont need to satisfy me to be germane to the overall ecology of the shows setting etc

ps i dont even care what happens at this point as long as theres no fucking struggle on the rooftop on a crane for a gun with the king in yellow i think im trustfalling hard for this shit

poor cohle had to be the one to carry out the dead kid

The actor who played Charlie Lang apparently played guitar while having brain surgery.

Good thing you binged on this show once everybody else was talking about it.

Yeah it was à good thing. Thanks man.

I did as well, the first 2...It seemed like a good time; he asks the black detectives right away if they know about the girls school.
There's a missing girl billboard that Cohle & Hart drive by in episode 2 ( I think) that Cohle then drives by again in 2002 when he finds the donut shaped devil net.

Also, the king in yellow is the #4 book on Amazon.

i don't think that "cohle" tattoo means anything

I think it probably has significance, but it's certainly not matthew mcconaughey

yeah, that's what i meant

I only just noticed that his hands are together in prayer. I thought it was a big head with odd little twig appendages; with a fifth appendage that looked like urine creating a star.

I heard some say that the face tattoo is Richard Ramirez, but I don't think so. If it was him, wouldn't he be wearing an AC/DC hat?

I kind of wish the internet would shut the hell up about this show already. I'm trying to just enjoy this shit.

we're all in carcosa now, though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I haven't followed the reactions the show's been getting, but I'm a little curious as to what people who have no background in, or tolerance for, sci-fi/horror/metaphysics think of it. I can't imagine that everyone who was expecting some kind of grim HBO Justified would be completely on board with monologues about the nature of time.

i think its just one amazing layer among many that people can appreciate and though to us it seems unthinkable without it the show still grips with a ton of force. in fact i know it bleeds well into the show whether you're aware of the implications or not..
