What do you think Milo? I've seen and read it all. I understand all the theories. Its just many of them don't line up in the end.
I, like the other poster said, think they rushed it. Maybe they left it for us to draw our own conclusions. I just keep going back to why the rev/govt/large occult would ever intentionally leave any job in the hands of the kidnappers. And get away with it for a decade. Methheads aren't clear thinkers to take direction and set it all up.

Just thinking aloud. Still don't know why its so wrong to not accept a massive cover-up. If its so massive, Cohle would keep going. He is to maniacal to stop if the occult is still in place. He'd kill them all.

Do you have any evidence that they had to rush the ending aside from your gut feeling? For example, during the filming of the second season of HBO's Rome, they learned it wouldn't be picked up for a third season. So the second season ended in a deliberately rushed fashion as they attempted to cover major plot points that were meant to span multiple seasons. Deadwood, another HBO show, was cancelled early as well. My point is, we know when shows are rushed to a conclusion. True Detective is not one of those shows.

As for your interpretation of the show, I've already made my argument. I'm just going to have to agree with the poster that said you simply don't get it, and I highly recommend a second watching.

That they rushed it is my opinion.

And I do get it. I get it all. I see it going several different ways. You on the other hand are insisting it was a large government coverup and massive occult, yet have not one thing to prove it really. I see that as a possibility. But also ask, the case destroys their lives and they take a decade to take down a gov't covered up occult by killing those 3 guys? Killing 3 inbred methheads brings down a decade long, deep coverup?
I'm also using a little common sense regarding the guys doing the kidnapping and killing while you just assume the Governor shows up at that house in the middle of nowhere to watch what is being done. Or the police.
Also using common sense to ask why a maniac like Cohle would even consider stopping the investigation if there were church members, police, govt officials, etc involved. He wouldn't walk away from it. I've asked that a couple of times and nobody can answer.

looks like I'm not by myself MP. just sayin. Whomever wrote this took it right out of my head.

'True Detective': Flawed Finale to a Classic Series : People.com


actually if you look around on google, there are a lot of people who write for a living that agree with my views on the finale and season. One refers to it all coming down to a boogeyman in a haunted house and the great Carcosa just being a shed of death on the property of some freaks.

I will always think the episode where they are telling the story of raiding Ledeaux's place and how it went down is one of the greatest episodes of any kind of tv ever.

It all came down to a shed with some freaks as a wrap up for the plot of the show. Anything after that, including any future investigation into the rest of the family wasn't addressed because to the writer, our characters' story ended right there. That doesn't mean in the lore of the TD universe, that's all there is to it. Just all that the writer needed to show to tell their story.


The article you posted didn't contradict anything, and just emphasized what I believed to be true from the beginning; that you are disappointed with the finale considering its small scope, and figure there couldn't be more to it because if there was, we would certainly see them get to the bottom of it.

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

My only explanation to this is that his daughter(s) and family were never involved and that the daughter probably heard it from another kid at school or something along those lines. If you remember during the show several people all over that part of LA knew of the Carcosa rumors and stories that were spread around.

I'd like to know what that structure was that they were chasing Errol around in? That huge bricked building thing that they found and were "mazing" through. What was that?

Thanks for the clue!

It's Fort Macomb
Here's the Real Location of True Detective's Carcosa


It's location if anyone is interested. Not far from New Orleans.

binge watched this show over the weekend - on episode 8 now. Outstanding in all respects. It like an onion - so many layers to peel.

I've always enjoyed MM's acting, but he has broken into the upper echelon of best actors ever for me this year.

She doesn't move the needle for me, but it would be cool to have Pitt do it.

I would love Ed Norton in this show.
