I certainly did't mean to imply we have all the answers right now and the finale is just going to be Rust and Marty finding Carcosa and busting up the place and catching the killers. But I don't think there's going to be some random revelation that hasn't been built up or foreshadowed the entire time.

The writer isn't trying to trick us.

Anything involving Hart's family (which has to be involved somehow) would be crazy enough for me to say it was quite a twist.

I guess it's just a difference in perspective then, that angle has been foreshadowed since the very first episode and I personally wouldn't be surprised by it, nor would I consider it a twist at all.

This show has forever altered my perception of MM. What a way to perform a role.

Great article that tells you where the idea of the story came from (based on a true story), and it seems like a lot of the series was meta-fiction

MM has always been a great actor (see him in early roles like Lone Star and Contact). He just made some really stupid choices in picking movies over the years (anything that was a romantic comedy). That said I had given up on him until the Dallas Buyers Club.

Whether the ending is surprising or not is irrelevant IMO. 7 episodes in and it kept people guessing to this point. I know I have went back to rewatch episodes looking for clues. This show is already awesome regardless of the actual outcome.

Can't wait for Sunday.

I might go back and re-watch the whole series just to catch more of the meta-fiction. I didn't realize the show was doing that until a couple of episodes ago.

That said I am glad they are not doing a surprise ending. It has almost become cliche to have a twist. That said I am almost surprised they don't have a twist to continue with the meta-fiction angle. Maybe Marty's father-in-law (if he is involved) is big enough of a twist to viewers who don't read about the show online.

HBO has yet to officially confirm a second season of the show, though Nic Pizzolatto, the show's creator, told Rolling Stone that he's already started writing the next season. (Like the first season, the author has eschewed a writing team in favor of writing the entire season himself.) "I've got three characters I love right now, and they're all unique, and neither of them is Cohle or Hart," he says.

So the guy on the boat in episode 7 was the same guy they talked to in 95? Didn't he have a buck on the wall behind his desk?

I don't remember him. I was struggling with him myself actually, couldn't remember what episode he was from or in what context.

I went back and watched. It wasn't the guy I thought. They talked to Tate who mentioned someone named Childress. The guy on the boat was neither of them. Couldn't understand his name though.

The yellow king will end up being a character we haven't seen on the show before. The lawnmower man could be in with the bad guys but I'm thinking he's just the creepy dude the audience is supposed to be suspicious of.
