Words, mostly.

I understood it up to that point.

Did anyone else know that Woody's dad was a real life hit man?

Yea I mentioned it earlier in this thread. His dad, Charles Harrelson, was convicted of murdering a Federal judge here in SA, Judge John Wood, in 1981. He had been hired by the Chagra brothers in El Paso; the Chagras were a crime family of drug dealers and attorneys that had the Feds on their asses and one of them was about to go on trial. It was BIG news when I was a kid in El Paso. Haven't heard much about the Chagras since then, I think the brothers and their wives are all rotting in prison now and a couple of them have died behind bars.

So, why was that one murder done publicly?
Seems like the bad guys were doing just fine and getting away with it till they chose to make a scene.

Wasn't it obvious that homeboy with the cave had put his father on a rack? The father was doing part of it, but burned face had a mental issue, and an ego. What good is thinking you're a genius if no one else knows. It's the mark of a serial killer.

if it was the kid who did the one public because of ego, and then proceeded to not get caught, wouldn't he continue to display victims publicly?

to me, it just doesn't fit with what the yellow king society had been doing.

and since this show was supposed to more about the two lead characters than the plot/investigation anyway, I must say I found them quite shallow and uninteresting.

The feds had photos of people he had strung up and killed...

I believe the son went rogue which caused all the commotion. No one could turn him in because he knew too much. I don't know that the Rev or the Gov were involved in the killing of Dora, however they had enough skeletons in their closets. I think the Rev recognized the work, so he got involved. I don't think it was a group killing.

I think the writer intentionally didn't want to make the killers interesting people.

Yes, I remember this well. His murder happened as he got out of his car at a very well-to-do gated apartment complex in Alamo Heights just two blocks away from my childhood house.

You obviously have no conception of San Antonio. Your fool badge is protruding.

You're the one who said "two blacks away".

What, never seen a typo before?
Besides, I fixed it.
So what exactly is your problem?

[xmas1997]

Actually I see how humorous it was now.
Good come back.

[Trill Clinton]

That finale was ass.

Time as a flat circle and the San Antonio Spurs. http://www.caller.com/news/2014/mar/...rue-detective/

That finale was ass.

You know, I just saw "12 Years a Slave" and I felt the same way. I loved the movie until the dude gets away at the end.

[ChumpDumper]

Finally got around to the finale. Solid.

[The Gemini Method]

When it returns to HBO for a second season, True Detective will feature three main characters. Show creator and writer Nic Pizzolatto revealed that key detail in an interview with To The Best of Our Knowledge. Those characters will be new to the show — true to its anthology format — with casting slated to kick off in the coming weeks. Anyone joining True Detective will have big shoes to fill as they set out to follow the stellar performances delivered by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in season one. The internet has already thrown out countless possibilities with the #truedetectiveseason2 hashtag, though most have taken the duo approach; now they'll need to dream up the ultimate trio.
Pizzolatto also said that season two will take place in "lesser-known venues" of California, avoiding obvious settings like Los Angeles. True Detective used its environment to maximum effect in the first season, and Pizzolatto and his cohorts clearly plan to maintain that emphasis on surroundings the second time around. "The world itself is poison. There's something ruinous at work here. The poison at the root of the world is humanity," he said. In March, Pizzolatto hinted at what's to come in an interview with HitFlix, teasing that True Detective's sop re season will be all about "hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system."

[The Gemini Method]

The three lead story is going to be interesting--they need to balance them like they did for McConaughey and Harrelson. I know it is going to be hard to replicate the success those two had. I hope they select actors who'll blend seamlessly. California is central to many of the Noir genre lines so it'll be interesting to see where they take the 2nd season.
