HBO Television Show: True Detective

[lowlight79]

Episode 5 was freaking fantastic. I can't believe there are only 3 left.

[Harry Lime]

So what happened to Ginger?

Telling, but short analysis about episode five (and subsequently the whole series) with writer Nic Pizzolatto.

Spoilers in this?

This is the type of show I'm glad there's online re-caps and forum threads about. It's also a show I'm looking forward to re-watching after I know the whole story.

I have been avoiding the re-caps for fear of spoilers, plus since the guy that the Lost recaps no longer posts here, what's the point?

Yeah I wouldn't read it if you haven't seen episode five yet.

Amazing show.

So what happened to Ginger?

I was wondering about that. Rust says something like 'tied up in ditch' I think. Maybe he killed him?

Not only the president my dear.

Maybe if more and more people saw the scene... and talked about it... and wrote about it... we could build a just and lasting society based on Alexandra Daddario's rack.

This show has been a wild ride, and I'm excited for the final three episodes. I'm sure the creators knew that people would jump all over the Yellow King references, so I'm guessing there will be twists that upend the expectations of people who hunted down those allusions.

[Mecca]

he does realize that he can just read the books before paaks spoils Game of Thrones for him, right? Worst president ever.

[Coach]

Lengthy, but well worth the read for those looking to find answers and understand the show better:

As someone who is interested in string and M-theory and theoretical physics in general, this was great.

Best part here

Spoiler: show

Pizzolatto took a bite of his branzino. "Now, think about all the things Cohle is talking about," he said as he finished chewing. "Is he a man railing against an uncaring god? Or is he a character in a TV show railing against his audience? Aren't we the creatures of that higher dimension? The creatures who can see the totality of his world? After all, we get to see all eight episodes of his life. On a flat screen. And we can watch him live that same life over and over again, the exact same way."

The thought was dizzying. Sure, True Detective is a page-turning crime yarn. But at least according to its creator, it's also a meta-page-turning crime yarn—a story about storytelling. Pizzolatto had transformed m-theory into a metaphor for television—and television, perhaps, into a metaphor for existence itself.

Well, if time is a flat circle...

This is probably why I will watch an episode 5 times during the week.
