Fair warning, if you are expecting this all to be tied up and a neat little bow at the end of episode 8 you haven't been paying attention. More like Sopranos than Breaking Bad.
Maybe it's a stereotype because sometimes it's true. I don't think it's so much a Christian front as a Power front.Brandon Conway said:My only complaint is that it's going down the now stereotyped road of Christian church as a front for diabolical pseudo-pagan serial killer cul
I disagree. Maybe not a neat little bow, but I think there will be a good bit of closure. Perhaps some ambiguity, but I think we will find out who the main killer is. It will not be like The Sopranos where it just ends. Perhaps more like The Killing.Sam Posten said:Fair warning, if you are expecting this all to be tied up and a neat little bow at the end of episode 8 you haven't been paying attention.

Here's me eating crow. What a bullshit fucking ending. Hollywood feelgood theist bullshit.Sam Posten said:Fair warning, if you are expecting this all to be tied up and a neat little bow at the end of episode 8 you haven't been paying attention. More like Sopranos than Breaking Bad.
Are you kidding me Sam? Marty is the root of whatever wrong that happen with his family. It's too bad you didn't like the final episode. I thought it was great!Sam Posten said:His words match almost exactly Panentheism:"eternal cosmic animating force[1]) interpenetrates every part of nature and timelessly extends beyond it."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PanentheismBut even if you throw out the whole religion aspect of it they systematically kill everything that made the partnership cool and undo everything. He'll Marty gets closure if not love from his cheating wife and bratty kids.
Yeah, that was poorly worded on my part. The rest stands tho, haaaaaaated it! If they had JUST STOPPED before the hospital stuff this would have been a perfect end to the series. But no, they had to go and undo everything and paint Rust as having this great spiritual / religious awakening, cheapening everything he believed in into some crackpot delusion caused by the death of his daughter.Robert Crawford said:Are you kidding me Sam?

I stand with the former, of course.But I am a little in awe of how totally snookered we all were. Boy, did we overthink this thing! The Internet’s theories about the case were so much more ingenious and captivating than what happened in tonight’s episode. They so much more neatly and plausibly tied up loose ends that the finale had no interest in. Maggie’s father-in-law, Audrey, even the Yellow King—not really relevant! Instead, we got a mansion out of Grey Gardens-meets-Deliverance deposited next to the largest catacomb this side of Europe. (Can you build that deep in the bayou? Or doesn’t the water come up? Or was the whole thing constructed just so Rust and Marty could stare up at a flat circle?) Also, it finally happened: Someone made Cary Grant super creepy.Worse was the last character beat. I think maybe True Detective ended with Rust Cohle finding God? Talk me off the ledge.Haglund: I’ll try. For starters, Rust did not find God, so far as I could tell: He found physics. (I haven’t watched the new Cosmos yet, but I hear its message is roughly the same.) Or maybe it’s more accurate to say he found hope. And I found his final speech, out by the hospital parking lot, genuinely moving.
I might be off by a word or two but he said "There was only dark once but if you ask me, the light is winning."Doug Smith said:At the very Rust says end something like "you've got it all wrong, in the beginning it was all black" Then he said something about stars - but I couldn't hear it properly. Anyone pick it up
