Couple quick thoughts on True Detective after binge watching
the first season over the last couple days:
Never mind who the Yellow King is, the villain of the show
is Maggie.
It is not a coincidence that Rust calls Lisa “a younger Maggie”
and that Beth orders a dirty martini at the bar, immediately getting Marty’s
attention (after he failed to recognize her at the T-Mobile store).
Something significant happened in-between Maggie’s
flirtation at the bar and her trip to Rust’s apartment.
Both the above sentences are linked and managed to derail
Marty and Rust’s investigation.
It is very probable that the links between the conservative
religious schools and the rituals is a product of Rust’s myopic bending of the
narrative to suit his own agenda and that he is now manipulating Marty. This would
mean he is lying about the contents of Billy Lee Tuttle’s safe.
The obvious conclusion is that Marty’s family is deeply
involved with the rituals, having been right in front of him the whole time, most
likely leading to Maggie’s father, and
that Rust’s blinders involving a bigger conspiracy have been mostly fabricated
and bent to affirm his original hypothesis. These two outcomes would make true
the two concepts introduced so early in the season, the detective’s curse and bending
the narrative to affirm your conclusion.
Which means neither will probably happen and that the show
will take a twist that most of us will have no idea was coming.
Great television.
