There was brief glimpse of the daughters playing with a naked Barbie surround by five guys (episode 2) that Marty saw. Then in episode 3 his oldest daughter Audrey is called out for drawing nasty pics of naked women and guys with stiff dicks. Marty looks through the pics and the last one is almost certainly of a man wearing a mask similar to those later shown in the video tape that Cohle steals from Billy Lee Tuttle's safe.

I don't know why people look at those as connections. I saw it as young kids just incorporating the things they see (all over the news) into their regular play.

If drawing that mask, unprompted by what was revealed in the news--so something she would otherwise not have access to--it would probably be significant and I missed that. But I seem to recall many of the images of the crime scenes being on the news.

Also, had the kids revealed something that they would not have been informed of otherwise, I would assume Hart would have picked up on that at the time. He isn't that poor of a detective...

he didn't just mow the lawn; he totally plowed that field (but no, they didn't sleep).

Marty Hart.


that plowing only lasted a few minutes. Rust is very efficient.

He banged her against his kitchen counter in episode 6. She was pissed about Marty sleeping around on her and first went out and tried to get picked up at a bar, then went to Rust's place. She later tells Marty and then there's the fight between him and Rust.

She's seen something, somewhere. But what/where/how?


Marty. It's his last name.

Thanks, I remember the boning now, completely forgot about that.

Must have been getting a beer when they played the stolen tape.

Nah, it's just too coincident.

I'm sure there are any number of supposed hints that have appeared in the series that have no real significance. It's hard to imagine how Hart's daughter could have seen anything related to the case, but I'm betting we'll find out soon enough. Another indication was dropped in the last episode, when Marty asks his ex-wife about (the now adult) Audrey and she mentions that she's on medication. My bet is that Hart's ex father-in-law ends up being the connection between the daughter and the case.
 
True Detective is a very good show so far. The last episode of the season will, imo, either elevate it to great or nearly great, keep it at the very good level, or (hopefully not this) render it a mostly good show too bad about the season finale.

According to a Rolling Stone write up each season is to be a self contained story with an entirely different cast for each story/season.

Good ending given how it was set up. Would've been kind of silly to have some crazy twist with how they set it all up. Wasn't epic, but it tied together a great series.

that's the feeling i get. i also enjoyed the crazy ass theories everyone was throwing around.



given the stab and the almost disembowelment i thought they were going to kill off rust.
who was the guy in the cabin - another victim almost ready for display?
 
I'm not terribly surprised by the resolution to the case, but expected more bad guys in the "cult" to be exposed. You can't explain the video tapes and voodoo gatherings by one madman running around the bayous. The only explanation for it that I can think of is that many of them were of the previous two generations and now all dead. Grampa Sam Tuttle, Bill Childress, Billy Lee Tuttle and others.

I sure found the silly gobbledygook coming out of Cohle's mouth at the end to be a letdown for a series with so much great writing.
 
The weird vision in the sky and the rambling at the end (by Cohle) was a little annoying, but a good ending and a great season overall.
 
What was the complex of of brick ovens(?) behind the house that was called Carcosa in the final episode? The smell of "aluminum and ash" Cohle said. Some kind of former smelting operation?

Well the idea is that Errol is just a small part of this larger cult. The news castign said that Errol was in no way related to Tuttle, which suggests that there wasn't a connection made directly to the Tuttles. In other words, the case isn't still fully closed.
