Yeah you were the first ever to talk about this show. No one else knew about it being made, you get gold stars.

HAHHAHAHAHHAHHABABBBABABABBABABBAB

BEST OF DECADE FIRST EVER

I was into to odd future before their popularity skyrocketed into what it is. Am I supposed to not like them now? Do I have to follow the trot guidelines to being hip?

Yeah this show was p.good. I enjoyed it as a genre study and I enjoyed how knowingly and frequently it bowed to tropes and traditions without compromising its internal consistency too much.

Heard a rumor that next season might feature Denzel Washington which would be awesome.

Of active HBO drams I will rank it:

1) Game of Thrones
2) Boardwalk Empire
3) True Detective
4) True Blood





5)Newsroom


I never got around to watching Treme but I'm sure if I did it would rank above Newsroom.

Game of thrones S4 has a lot to live up to

i hope it has spiderman in it.

How did Matthew McConaughey go from having the most punchable face in Hollywood to Rust Cohle? I mean...

Anyway, yeah I am kinda obsessing about this series.

man thats the dumbest summary ever. 'Be careful what you put in your head lol, thats what I meant all along go tell the children of my mystery tales'.

I think Nick Pizzolato had written another story, and buckled half way under studio pressure or something to make a buddy cop drama.

The whole tide changed from precision tension and specific allusion to out of no where leaps and bounds and 'we are opposites but we get along great buddy even when it gets bad'.
I think he had a very specific killer in mind from the get go, who we knew well as a character, and, in my opinion, the story initially set up for a very different and maybe darker ending, with some of those clues sprinkled in from the very beginning.
Then they are like, 'LOL ACTUALLY LOOK AT ME WORKING THIS OUT DID YOU GET A SHOT OF THAT LIGHTBULB MOMENT IT WAS A DUDE PAINTING HOUSE GREEN OBVIOUSLY GREEN EARS LOL' and just ran from there.

I dont want to say who I think it was going to be, cause I'm going to watch it again from the start some time and put together this theory with specific quotes and such, but i felt like something entirely different was going to play out and then suddenly i became less important to the storyline and more like, 'hey just watch where this went, we dont need your participation anymore cause fuck it now it's a thriller not a whodunnit'.

I think he tried to pull it together for the last episode with something perverse and reactionary, and maybe summed up that whole effort in the first few minutes of the last episode, hoping that imagery would be enough to sate us on this twisted new killer... But thats not fair. Thats not how they set this up. They were so specific with the clues and hints, and to suddenly now assign us back to the armchair to just watch seems like such an obviously shift... with such an 'easy' out writing in a new killer to suit these old clues, as opposed to having him there from the get go.... betrayed the whole mood of the initial lure of the show.

The ending was weak. It was too neat. Too much closure. Too much visual aesthetic to carry what was now an empty story. Ooh, make it spooky, make this guy really bad. Granted, I loved it for that too, but it could have been all that and so much more...
That last wheelchair scene was such a weak caricature of Marty and Rust, munching on ice cream 'see love is everything it's all good my homeboy, best buds', 'lol get me the fuck out of here i'm too cool for hospital bro PS it's okay i loves my daughter or some shit'.

Going into this show I was enthralled, i was number one fan, i was telling everyone I know. I felt betrayed by it's weak ending when it seemed obvious they had set up and left room for some pretty big cannibalistic twists on itself and leave you rocked.

Instead I got all invested, and then just watched some story play out.

Think he buckled. Think he went safe with the script. Gosh darn it.
