Half the fun is searching around for the fan theories that come out every week.
Anybody starting the show after Sunday won't be able to experience that.

And my one question is HTF did Marty's daughter know to simulate a gang bang with her toys?

POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT BELOW.

I think Cohle said "If you ask me, the light's winning."

Thanks

I don't think you need to worry about spoilers. People who haven't watched the finale should not venture into this thread.

I liked how they teased for a second it might be supernatural. Well played. I thought the episode was awesome.

I thought the episode was great. Rusts last line, "Once there was only dark. If you ask me the lights winning."

I think Sparty's still upset that the lawnman was the killer.

Maybe a little. Imo, thing was too deep and intricate to be run by dumbasses for a decade.
No yellow king? Just a couple of methheads and a guy who is hooking up with his sister? Who did the drawings on the church? Why was there one of those little devil catchers in the shed of the home of the girl?
Way too many questions for me. Still a great show. Amazed that mentally deficient folk would be smart and careful enough to be serial killers and meth cookers for a decade without guidance.

I thought it was understood he wasn't the mastermind that it involved a lot of people. Like Marty said "we got ours".

This season was ultimately about the relationship between these two troubled men. As fascinating as the case was, it took a back seat to Rust and Marty.

In an interview with Alan Sepinwall, series creator Nic Pizzolatto said the 2nd season of True Detective will be about, "hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system." Can't wait!

The yellow king isn't a person. It's the darkness that the family worshipped and it's the "deity" Errol believed would ascend him with his sacrifices. We pretty much knew they weren't getting everyone involved within the span of one episode. They only got the three most reckless and least connected of the cult members, which they plainly discuss in the finale. Getting everyone isn't the world we live in. They did well just to get their guy. We live in a world where most of the bad guys live free. And I do think you downplay errol's overall intelligence. Obviously he was crazy as balls, but he was calculating and skilled enough to do what he did without getting caught for a long time.

then I missed something as well because I thought it ended up not being an occult and just 3 inbred and abused sons of the dead dude laying tied up on the bed. The Childress dude and Billy Tuttle and some methheads that took advantage of their family's school business.
And the girls diary had yellow king in it. And the prisoner said yellow king. Were they just going off rumors? a ghost? Did that church or another church preach about the yellow king? Did big fella sneak into the back yard of the one girl and put the devil catcher in the shed?

It doesn't appear to be an occult deal or gov't cover up the way it ended.

I have too many questions. Best to just not ask them.

It was an occult deal as well as a government cover-up. I'm having a hard time pinpointing your disconnect here.

Pretty good summing up you've got going on.

Spartacavolus, go on HBO Go and check out some of the "inside the episode" clips, it helps explain some stuff.
