I don't think the Woody Harrelson thing is THAT bad. I mean, he has two girls that are attracted to him seven years apart, and one is attracted to him because he is a hero cop who helped her out. It seems more ridiculous than it is because of the way the show compresses time, but a dude like Hart picking up two girls in a decade doesn't seem too crazy, or am I out to lunch on this?

Exactly. A lot of people criticize this show for trying to be profound via Rust, yet failing and coming off like some dilettante philosophy freshman. But Rust isn't some direct authorial voice, he's a character who uses rhetoric as protection or distraction. I mean, for all his nihilistic whining he is the one most concerned with truth and justice. He's the one who tells kids to get in the bathtub, and who is eaten from the inside out by the murders.

In some ways I'm hesitant to criticize this show as I don't know what might be explained later, but there were some things that were outright silly in this episode. The devil and angel figures on the dresser during the sex scene were laughable.

One of the reasons I liked this show so much was because I assumed the creators were playing with conventions more than they might be. Unfortunately, what I thought were red herrings are looking to be more like incidents of clumsy foreshadowing. The way I feel about this show almost totally depends on the next two episodes.

Although I did like Marty's wife in this episode. So far she is the laconic one who can read people the best, and all the male characters are full of overstated posturing.

Really enjoyed the show up until this episode, but now I'm thinking....hhmmmm.......ok Fukunaga and Pizzolato, THIS BETTER PAY OFF YOU GUYSES

SO many bits and pieces. The more I think about this show the more it's like the Thomas Pynchon of Lot 49 was involved. Everything leads everywhere, but they are tattered threads and I can't see a resolution unless there isn't one. What if we never find out? That might make True Detective the ultimate tease.

Black stars, facial scars, Cohle FRAMED in the window, where the hell is this thing going? Lines have been cast, how tangled are they gonna get?

Interesting stuff w/r/t Nietzsche and eternal recurrence. Obv relevant to the story on purely thematic grounds, but from a meta fictional view point it is also interesting. Don't we see these characters lives as he described? Are we the the "they" Cohle referred to? The ones who look down into the circle. We can see the characters lives played over and over, and no matter how many times we watch those kids will always be in that box. Also interesting if the circularity of time and the invocation of eternal recurrence will be thematically addressed and continued in other seasons. Kinda like bioshock. Two detectives, a dead woman, a greater mystery, a narrative to be put together, a monster at the end of the tunnel. True Detective. Pulp. Tropes invoked, played with, inverted, but still the same tropes, something you can't escape from. Time is a circle.

Can't wait to see how this season pans out. If they can deliver this will probably be my all time favorite series. Hopefully all that potential doesn't rust away

50 games is a lot, I play a handful at most. 50 books and 50 movies is something I do every year though.

What, like a dogfight or something?

Dear Rorie,

Your body is paraphilic love map.

Happy Valentines Day

P.S. I'll see you in Carcosa.

The guys have said they aren't in the business of playing through Persona games. Anyone who thinks there will be a Persona 5 ER is going to be disappointed. Besides, there are plenty of Endurance Runs, they are just under different names and behind a pay wall now.

I feel like Patrick may have been the most likely to do an ER since he was the newest hire and therefore the least jaded about it, but with him being in Chicago I feel like the likelihood of seeing another "Endurance Run" is basically nonexistent, and really, it was before he left anyways.

I guess I could see an ER like three years or more down the line, but at this point an ER is like Half Life 3. Theoretically it could happen, but don't hold your breath.

If I were the guys I would put up a Persona 5 ER video the day it releases, and fifteen seconds into the video just scramble it out, not dissimilar to what they did when they were going to announce the next ER awhile back.

It's the story of a proletarian every man overcoming the bourgeois domineering class that wants to devour them. Speedy Gonzales ain't even about race, it's all about class struggle man.
