I watched episodes two and three, have the series recording on my DVR now...  for some reason, I haven't been able to record the first episode.  I guess they haven't showed it again. 

 

Anyway, this is what I think I know so far...

 

The falling out between Cohle and Hart  is due to either Hart suspecting Cohle slept with his wife, or because Cohle DID sleep with his wife.

 

I'm starting to wonder if Cohle isn't responsible in some way for the killings.  He seems too obsessed with it and he's really morbid.

 

Hart is no longer married.

 

There is an interesting narcissistic dynamic to Hart.  He cheats on his wife, but no one else can have her - a typical male behavior, BUT he also doesn't want his mistress to get hers, and then he feels like he needs to rescue women in distress from living in a life of promiscuity. 

 

At times, I wondered if Cohle may have actually been gay as he repeatedly rejected women's advances, but as he mentioned in the questioning, he was almost married again after his first wife...  So, I think it is more of him being morbidly obsessed with the case and it consumes him above all else.  But, there is definitely something to it...  And his repeititive, compulsive behaviors are of note as well, i.e. making the men out of the beer can lids.

 

Religion and/or faith is a big theme throughout, OBVIOUSLY, I know...  BUT, what is even more intriguing is Cohle's relationship with it.  I think something big is going to come of this theme as well.  Why?  Cohle spends a great deal of time expounding on the weak mindedness of religious types, BUT he states the reason he decided to go back into the force was because of the scripture he kept reading as he was in the psych ward.  Also, when he is in his home and Hart's wife calls, you can see a cross sitting on his wall behind him.  So, is he anti-religion or does he just not believe in a higher power at all?  I think it's the former, but I think with as much as religion has played a part in the series so far, it's going to play a big part in the payoff...

 

All of that being said, I'm actually kind of pissed that I got into the show.  I hate having to wait a week at a time to find out what's going to happen next.  AND my wife is not feeling the show so far, saying that it's "too slow."  So, how do they end episode two?  With a man wearing a fuging gas mask and holding a machete, and then previewing the next episode as though it is nothing but ACTION.  I told her, "looks like it's going to pick up next week," lol.

Great episode. The whole time from when Cohle went "undercover" to the biker hangout till the end was incredible.

 

 

I've always thought/figured Cohle was involved with some bad things judging by his actions in the interrogation room in the modern setting, and that possibility became more open tonight IMO. In the preview for next week, it sounded like he said "I'll show you when you get a warrant" in relation to something on his body I think? If so, I'm guessing it's a version of markings/tattoo seen on victims.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I see both sides of the arguments, but compared to last year we're somehow at an upgrade over completely fried Dalton and wasn't even good in college Plummer. At least Pickett and Grier probably have some desire to make more money when Dalton was happy to just go through the motions and I will never understand why they even bothered with Plummer.

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….
