I woke up this morning, Sunday, March 9, with the opening song in my head on the day of the season one finale. Good sign, I think, or I need more hobbies.

[psychobain]

3 hours til carcosa here

[Harry Lime]

Can't watch it until tomorrow morning, but I'll be watching episode 7 again first.

And I like Nic's description of the show's landscape and its people:

I think True Detective is portraying a world where the weak (physically or economically) are lost, ground under by perfidious wheels that lie somewhere behind the visible, wheels powered by greed, perversity, and irrational belief systems, and these lost souls dwell on an exhausted frontier, a fractured coastline beleaguered by industrial pollution and detritus, slowly sinking into the Gulf of Mexico. There’s a sense here that the apocalypse already happened.

[DeLima]

half hour til carcosa. i'm pretty wired

[VinylGuy]

i will try to look up for a torrent tonight and finish this thing tonight. Its better this way.

[DeLima]

torrents of new eps are usually up within half and hour of the ep finishing

[VinylGuy]

i want to say goodbye to this friends tonight.

a lot folks are going to be let down when they realize the common plot twists utilized in most other shows aren't coming.

Good call spike, and Im glad you were right.

[DeLima]

i thought they nailed it

[psychobain]

yep, but some* people are going to be disappointed


they should have grouped 7 and 8 together though

a 2h finale would be better

[psychobain]

the night sky analogy was wonderful; a pretty perfect way to end the season.

[MitchCumstein]

Based on what Pizzolatto had been saying, the finale was pretty much just what I expected. Well done. I think there should be a tandem "Lead Actors" Emmy. Because both of these guys did a helluva job.

Spoiler: show

I was pretty surprised they both survived. I was positive at least Rust was going to (wanted to) die. The daughter monologue at the end was incredible.
