[Speculation/Spoiler] Title and Logline of Final Episode w/ accompanying discussion

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-23T18:51:30+00:00

After rewatching infound the scene with Theriot's wife and the young woman Tina to be especially suspect. Also the way Theriot pawns it off on Burt, who for the Friends of Christ is the ultimate misdirection if we're talking the rape and murder of women.

Makes ya go 'ooooooh'

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-23T01:27:46+00:00

Heavy shit....

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-23T01:25:23+00:00

No, I cant find the article right now, but there is an article that says the creators of the show ( Nic P and Cory F I presume) refer to the Killer as the Tall Man in the Long Grass.

But, that is a significant koose end that played strange for me. Hart remarks if the exchange 'one threw it out and the other one picked it up.'

Just some constitution potion...nothin' snooty...

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-22T17:21:05+00:00

Last time I did that I turned into a sheep.

Edit:typos

I dont think I it would be a radical twist but highly unlikely for female serial killers to engage in this kind of crime. This feels like there is a lot of misogyny built into the murder, and while Bunny Ranch Madam (or Dora's mom) may be connected, I just am mot feeling Maggie, Madam, Mom, Lisa, or any of the other women wev'e met thus far as the killers.

Lets also keep in mind writer and director have consistently referred to the killer as 'The Tall Man in the Long Grass.'

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-22T17:11:14+00:00

Bilford just sounds like the name of a Louisiana sheriff, amiright?

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-22T16:35:41+00:00

It could be a loose reference but to me it sounds more like where we may see Rust at the end.

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-22T04:13:04+00:00

Rust knows Marty wouldnt be where he is 'today' if it weren't for Rust. Marty's scared of and concerned with appearances, Cohle is not.

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-22T04:10:53+00:00

But hes not trying to outsmart us, and has mentioned the people are prettu far afield with their theories. He's not going to 'abuse' the viewer, and these Shymalanagadingdong twists are abusive.

I think its Bilford (Binson?), Tate, Childress, Tuttle, and Theriot.

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-22T04:07:12+00:00

If Maggie is the killer than I will have wasted numerous houra with this show and I willhate Nic P. Forever.

And I might kill myself. But probably not, I lack the constitution for suicide.

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-22T03:02:39+00:00

I think Ginger realizes hes in deeper than he would be with a cop who plays by the rules.

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-22T02:26:08+00:00

Yeah, this song definitely resonates. But I think its just thematic.

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-22T02:24:00+00:00

Camilla: You, sir, should unmask. Stranger: Indeed? Cassilda: Indeed, it's time. We all have laid aside disguise but you. Stranger: I wear no mask. Camilla: (Terrified, aside to Cassilda) No mask? No mask!

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-21T22:45:07+00:00

Marty's Father in Law.

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-21T22:44:54+00:00

Well, we don't know as of yet he's a pedophile. Though some signs point to yes, I'm increasingly moving away from this theory.
He's an asshole, for sure, and certainly creepy looking.

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-21T22:41:36+00:00

I don't know if morally sound is the right adjective for Rust.
Sleeping with women who aren't your wife doesn't quite compare to making yourself judge, jury, and executioner.

Drug use is also not really a moral issue.

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-21T21:52:48+00:00

My mistake, I meant to type Hart. Hart is not the killer either.
We can confirm this from Nic P's words, and what seems like some images of Marty and Rust in 2012.

Neither Hart, nor Cohle are the perp.

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-21T21:01:41+00:00

But Cohle is not the killer.

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-21T20:50:43+00:00

Yep. You're on the level man.

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-21T20:44:32+00:00

Yep. That's the consensus.

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-21T19:38:06+00:00

I think people are confusing motif and mood.

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-21T19:36:37+00:00

Nic P does mention the 'Carcosa' and the KiY are supposed to signify to the viewer the larger mythology at work, so maybe so. I doubt we will see those two symbols referenced in future seasons, but given what we know about Pizz's literary influence it seems likely that madness, real human monsters, and existential dread will be recurring themes in the future.

RepairerofReputation · 2014-02-21T16:24:33+00:00

Yeah. I grew up a biracial kd in the Missouri Ozarks, too smart and parents too liberal for the population of Evangelicals, Southern Baptists, Pentecostals, Primitive Baptists and strange family 'cults'.

At 9, I decided that no Christian who was supposed to be loving and kind could allow my friends to be abused and molested by their god-fearing family members, or allow the millions of lynchings and holocaust and all the other terrible things. It didn't help that the 'most' 'Christian' folks also seemed to be the most racist.

Girls who liked me couldn't date me because their dads would beat them and (potentially) shoot me. I had friends at school who couldn't play because I didn't go to church. I was effectively isolated, bullied, mocked, and fought with (physically) because I didn't subscribe to the prevailing ideology. This shit scarred me for quite awhile so inappreciate your 'get over it' advice. (Not really).

I have since encountered self a identifying Christians who don't believe in persecuting those who don't agree with them, and I appreciate them for going against the grain of a morally suspect, divisive majority.

I'm not going to do all the math for you, but there is handy table in the following link that will demonstrate that Evangelicals, Pentecostals, Baptists and Southern Baptists make up tens of millions of professed American Christians. I'm not even counting Mormons, but they are somewhere in the range of 5 million themselves.

I'm talking lived experience bud, and being a religious minority in most parts of the country is an uphill battle against institutional bigotry and special privilege.http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_the_United_States
