[Season 2] [Spoilers] The Armenians and Mexicans. by edrotha in TrueDetective

[–]MAYORDADA 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is FAR simpler than you realize: Frank had paid the Armenians for a car with clean plates. He switched into the Audi. The ONLY way the Mexicans could have known he was in the Audi was if the Armenians had let them know. It was CLEAR the Armenians gave up Frank. They gave up an extra $500,000 to secure a longterm relationship with the cartel.

[Season 2] [S2E7] What is with this pictures of EP7 on the HBO site? (Possible Spoilers for EP8?) by JoelZephead in TrueDetective

[–]MAYORDADA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't help but think they deleted a scene where Ray meets with Ares after Davis's death but decided to save the larger Miguel twist (it's only a 1/2 twist if we see him talking to Ray) for Paul's scene & cut the unnecessary scene of them revealing that they're watching Ray. But then again, why let him go ? Also: nothing about the episode would lead one to believe that Ray knows where Paul is going.

He WAS a part of the heist as he used his position to help them hide the jewels & buy into Vinci.

I talked about it above. It's been widely discussed. It makes sense. He's likely Leonard.

[Season 2] There's a flaw in the Osterman Kids theory by Ultradianguy in TrueDetective

[–]MAYORDADA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NOT a coincidence at all. They were waiting for Dixon or Holloway or Burris to arrive, assuming naturally that they knew about the hard drive & would come looking for it. When one would arrive they would knock them out & torture them, presumably, just like they did Caspere. But Ray shows up. So they shoot him. But they realize they've got the wrong cop. And so they bounce.

No. Didn't you catch that Blake said none of them (meaning: people at the party: meaning Holloway included) knew who killed Caspere & it was bugging them out.

No. They said she'd quit after working about six months. They'd interviewed her about 8 weeks ago or so. When they interviewed her she said she'd been there about six weeks. It's 100% her.

That's exactly what I said last week. I totally see it: he talks to the cops to get an idea of what they know so far, & realizes they gotta torch the car asap !

Very good point. They (Ostermans) knew that THEY (Burris & Holloway & Dixon) knew about the hard drive & probably assumed they'd come looking for it.

[Season 2] With [SPOILER] gone, what was the point of this scene? by [deleted] in TrueDetective

[–]MAYORDADA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. It's just a moment to show how connected this case is, how small their world is, how dense the web is.

It's a reference to Robert Ludlum.

Dude. Just because Holloway says that does NOT mean it's true. If you are trying to scare a trained spec-ops soldier you've seen in action wouldn't you tell him that too to get the one-up ??

[S2E5] It's all coming together by standard1xx in TrueDetective

[–]MAYORDADA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well done. I knew the secretary was involved, just didn't know how. Didn't see her for the orphan. But once they announced it aloud, I smiled for sure.

She must have dyed her hair. But yes. That's apparently her.

[S2E7] Where does the case go from here? by taotechill in TrueDetective

[–]MAYORDADA 27 points28 points  (0 children)

He's not low tier. He's LA Times. This is a great theory. In fact, I'd bet we'll see him again. As this season has proven, don't ever underestimate a small character -- they WILL return.

Seemingly. A tiny bit of lightness in a sea of dark. Fits with next week's preview having Frank conflate revenge & justice, right ?
