        I think the idea was that he was wearing a mask to block the paint but the mask didn’t quite cover his ears. If you use a spray gun, it’s very possible to splash back at you. Not sure if paint spray guns were that prevalent in the 90s though. Pretty sure they were, even for that sort of casual use.

      Well fellas, was marty compromised by the cult? All those weird sex drawings his daughter made and the doll reproduction of the cult photo. Banging that young hooker he saved. Him killing le deoux before they can even question him in the field. You could argue he only went with rust in the end to tie up loose ends. He could of truly bonded with rust but still did his evil duties

      Either his daughter got into unsecured case files and saw that photo, or she just had a spooky premonition, or something worse like Marty's in laws being involved somehow.

      Forgot to add maybe his wifes family was his initial connection to the cult, she seemed to marry a rich man after she left marty. So she was probably raised with class, but thats a stretch

    • 11 months ago

      Maybe not him, but his rich father in law is easy to imagine brushing shoulders with the conspirators. Otoh it's not very believable that they'd use the grandkids of one of their own instead of some random hicks from the swamp. So maybe the girls only saw some tapes when they were staying at their grandpa's and it scarred them.

      A big theme is how (1) the main characters only win a partial victory (2) Marty is oblivious to what happens with his family.

        This means literally nothing. Nothing in this fricking show meant anything outside of the case itself.
        It was a bunch of pseud shit but piled on fast and hard enough it distracted the viewers from the last subject or topic not being elaborated on whatsoever.
        The show itself is extremely well shot and the central mystery is interesting through to the end but literally everything else in the show is mental filler.

        The first season feels unique because it genuinely is inspired by Nietzchean philosophy and Lovecraft. You almost get nothing Nietzchean anymore at all - unless it's to outright criticize it. Yes, they didn't go all the way but they were clearly inspired by it. In a police procedural? That's what makes it so damn interesting. It realistically should have nothing to do with it.

        It could have had an X-Files style twist where there is some cult that worships a monsterous alien like being and the murders were carried out by some half-ling demon spawn. I guarantee you there's drafts where they went with this but then feared this might be too weird/crazy and toned it down.

          That would have been cool but that they already went too far, they for sure toned it down so they can still appeal to the general audience. It woumd have been great if they went all call of cthulhu and found a cult in the forest doing demonic and disturbing shit.

            A sort of much more grounded X-files might be interesting. There is a tiny tiny bit of supernatural elements in the world but it's so hidden away unlike X-files where you can't overturn a boulder in a forest without unleashing some ancient alien death weapon.

                So S1 could be just the hints and they get a glimpse of the supernatural elements - the cult, the diety, and the abominations that are half-human half-alien creatures. The detectives then have no idea wtf to make of all this. Then S2 picks up and they're still just clueless and don't even know if what they saw was real. They get visions, past trauma, and wonder if their grip on reality is slipping. Everyone says that the case is closed, it was just some loopy cult, nothing more. Then they delve deeper and increasingly lose their minds until the end of the series.

Its a bunch of short stories that are kind of mysterious, people compare it to Lovecraft, but its really nothing like that. There is one interesting thing one of the stories features this phone booth things where people pay to be killed, reminded me of Futurama maybe that's where they got it from. But overall its a bunch of weird but not good mystery stories. Also The King in Yellow is barely mentioned in it.

                There's multiple themes in the show. It doesn't really have a dominant one nor was it trying to preach some cosmic agenda. My main point is that I don't see why a Christian can't watch this show and have it not resonate on some level with them and their faith. The ending very much implies the existence of an afterlife. Whether it is in a Christian sense or not. All that antinatalism shit Rust was spouting off in the beginning is rendered moot

                You can interpret it in your own personal way and derive your own meaning, but it absolutely did have a dominant theme and it absolutely was Cosmicism.

                Sure, in the early episodes but that was just laying the groundwork for the ending. My personal interpretation of the show has changed multiple times over the years with each subsequent viewing because I try to understand the objective meaning behind it all. It is much more than just cosmicism

                Marty literally states your bullshit at the end and Rust refutes him. What you are describing is what the show blatantly lays out until the end, which it is then revealed is bullshit.

                It could never "reveal that it's bullshit", you mental toddler. These are deep philosophical debates with origins you can't even pretend to know. All the ending revealed is Rust's character development and his *reaction* to the overarching theme. He breaks down, he can't handle it anymore. That's it.

                Again, that's his personal journey, not an indication that his convictions represent reality. He's no more manifestly correct than he was when he was a doomed anti-natalist. All that changed is his character, not the world itself.

                He was reacting to the "overarching" theme that he himself was the sock puppet for. He was the only person throughout the show, besides the cultists, that claimed that is how the world is (the show world). In the end, he for the first time refutes the inevitability of "unrelenting harshness and inhospitality of the universe".
                I never fricking claimed that the show disproved the philosophical ideas that underline what you are talking about, you have to be moronic and just full of unkept animosity to think that.

        Found my post in the archive, copy and pasted from that:
        >Season 1 had it so that for Rust and Marty, they were hunting "their guy" without bringing down the "sprawl" - they zero in on something small and specific and come out on top against the backdrop of bigger, darker things. They should have done that for season 3 in the sense that Hoyt was running the Arkansas branch some big child trafficking thing. Julie was intended to be more merchandise to be sold and such but Hoyt's deranged daughter still flipped out when seeing Julie, convinced Hoyt to let the girl be adopted, the Pink Room shit happens, etc. So Roland and Hays, like Marty and Rust, zero in on something small and specific (finding Julie) whilst only scratching the surface of something much bigger and darker, and saving Julie is their small win and contribution to good in the world. The way season 3 played out with it all being a misunderstanding and no more sinister stuff at work left bit of a bitter taste in my mouth.
        Also, I know people are probably sick and tired of hearing about frickign Euphoria but they had a very small bit in season 2 about trafficking and it was unsettling, so it can work in place of a murder cult.

        The setting of Louisana is also very important. Normally I do cringe at the whole "The setting... is ALSO A CHARACTER!" shit but TD season 1 would not hit as well were it set in Arizona or Maine. Louisana, to a foreigner in Bongland, was both comfy and a shithole, warm, exciting, and mysterious. Doubt it's a coincidence that the setting was the most felt in the same state that Pizzaman grew up in

      This works when you take into consideration Marty's "We got our guy" line. Childress was their guy and he was a backwood maniac but it in no way diminishes the truly sick nature of the mainline cult.

      As for the last 3 or 2 episodes as a whole, see it from a Prologue, Rising Action, Falling Action, and Epilogue perspective (that comparison made me appreciate Babylon 5 more).
