    Perfect episode! Also, in the 3rd episode, when we see Errol mowing the lawn at Light of the Way, you can pause it at the right moment and the school’s sign says “Notice King”.

    You glossed over the pivotal scene of the entire season. The container unit scene was incredible. The danger and tension were electric there. Marty was in a high level of alert and did not trust Rust. He kept his hand hovering around his weapon, waiting for a sign to shoot Rust. Rust was resigned to his fate and purposefully moved carefully and deliberately to show his evidence. This is the event that cements their bond and drive them forward to the successful conclusion of the series. To me this scene is was what the rest of the episodes were leading up to. It was great to see them accept and trust each other.

    Watching this series as it was released was so much fun. You kept expecting to be disappointed, but it just kept getting better. Plus, the online chat forums with people trying to “solve the case” were awesome.
    My favorite episode is the one where Rust goes undercover. That might be the best episode of TV I’ve ever seen.

    The "structure" in the final episode...it's an old army fort. It's called Fort Macomb currently. Built in 1822. It's just outside New Orleans.
    Fort Macomb is what is called a Third System fort, a seacoast defensive system of forts, funded by Congress following the War of 1812.
    There are quite a lot of forts of this type up and down the eastern seaboard of the US. There are some number of Third System forts on the Gulf of Mexico.
    Around the big old ports of the east coast, it's rather hard to avoid the things. The Statue of Liberty is plonked right atop one of 'em.

    To me the most fascinating about Rust is how he couldn't care less what people think about him, but yet he can be so great at lying and manipulating people and they completely buy it every time.
    1:45:50 and he's a really big guy, so they almost resemble each other by size.

    Wow I just finished this season a month ago and only found this podcast just now! Thank you for dissecting and analyzing this season so thoroughly I loved every aspect of it and hearing all the details being discussed. This season really was incredible and even a month after finishing it I can’t stop thinking about it. The acting especially was so well done, after rewatching a few times and noticing the subtle movements and expressions and vocal inflections really make the story so much more vivid and real. Especially on Mcconaughey’s part. Thank you for taking the time to talk about this!

    I thinks it’s interesting too, that in the interviews Cole is facing the door in a more dominant/ suspicious way and he immediately knows why he is being interviewed. While Marty has his back to the door and isn’t suspicious of their intentions at all until they start to accuse Rust and then Marty is shown sitting facing the door.

      They all connect. The characters can't see it as the cases never intersect. To the viewer it is most definitely implied. Season four should complete the circle. It Frustrates me that the world is totally obsessed with season one, which I agree is great. However season two is also fantastic and three is also that good. I have never managed to pick a favourite. i bet nobody will confess to being blind to the connections once they are made clear. We shall see.

      @@nospoon4799 I agree! Definitely interesting to rewatch and see all the ways the seasons live within the same Universe, with (occasionally) as little as one line of dialogue referring to characters and family names that are in the True Detective world. And I was one of the few people who was defending Season 2… until the season finale. It just felt like they struggled to raise the stakes AND stick the landing, so they just tried to end on a bang; but unfortunately, it was the same “bang” for every character, except for Rachel McAdams, which took her from being a badass cop with a traumatic history, and turned her into a damsel who needed saving. It just felt rushed, like HBO was like “We gotta do a season 2!! And NOW!!” 😆

    Rust is the True Detective. His devotion to the truth is what makes him who he is, it’s not just crime but the nature of existence that consumes him and he perceives it all in an integrated dialectic. I think he’s also genuinely imbued with a shamanistic soul able to see beyond the veil which he mistakes for neural damage instead of heightened perceptions of a multidimensional reality. His worldview shifts throughout the show, Ledoux sends Rust over the edge with the “time is a flat circle” confrontation before Marty executes him. That revelation was the nightmarish conclusion that fit within Rust’s cosmological philosophy. His catharsis came with his near death experience and his daughter’s presence therein. He saw and traveled beyond the “ring and the loop”. He’s an Old Testament saint, not Jesus Christ.

    In what part of season 1 does the show ever imply that Rust is a Christian? Christianity does not own our humanity, it does not own ethics and integrity. As a matter of fact, the entire point is that marty is a cultural Christian and he sees Christianity as a way to maintain order and integrity, when in fact he displays the opposite. Rust, who is accountable to himself and the laws of nature displays strong ethics, order and integrity. Christianity does nothing to restrain marty's behavior, he just hides his behavior from society and his family. When exactly is Rust's "come to Jesus" moment? I must have missed it.

    At 1:35:32 you make the most ridiculous claim I've heard in a long time: that Rust doesn't care so that's why all these images of horror and gore don't bother him at all, "he can look at them all day". That's wrong. The reason he can look at them "all day" is because none compare to the pain of his personal tragedy, not because he "doesn't care". Only a person who doesn't know what losing a child does to you can say dumbshit like that.

    True Detective did not "change the landscape of television forever". Woody an Matt were not ttrend setters by taking on these TV roles neither was True Detective in its format or presentation. True Detecctive did not kick start a mini series or anthology series renaissance it was part of a trend as were Woody and Matt showing up on the small screen. Some of the many movie stars taking televison roles who preceded True Detective: Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney starred in the 2008 Jon Adams mini series, Alec Baldwin on 30 Rock, a pre cancellation Kevin Spacey on House of Cards, Kevin Baccon on The Killing. Don Cheadle on House of Lies, there are many more, so many that it makes it seem like you did no research and are just making it up as you go. Had you bothered to do the ressearch you would know that Zoey Deschannel and New Girl are largely credited with opening the big screen to little screen talent migration.True Detective did not revive the miniseries or anthology format either. True Detective''s format follows American Horror Story a show that premiered 3 years before TD. Miniseries like the aforemetioned Jon Adams, the Hatfield and McCoys, and Mildred Pierce were already smash hits. Lasty, it is highly revisionist to suggest that ths season of this show is so spectacular. Any reading of the contemporary coverage would have shown you that in the end it was seen as a maasive disappointment by most who were drawn in by super natural macguffins that amounted to bubkiss, thus the show has more in common with the worst aspects of Lost than it does with the best seasons of television.
