True Detective: Season 2 stars named

Really enjoyed the finale, and I loved the show. I think some of the unanswered questions will be recurring "characters" season to season.

Interesting. Nic says season 2 will be an entirely different cast of characters and case.

I'm okay with the unanswered questions. Everything isn't always tied up in a neat little box with a bow.

I like that it was Marty who ultimately connected the dots about the house painted green. The very end was much more positive and optimistic than I was expecting. These guys really have their work cut out for them because I can't imagine a season 2 pairing who will do it better than Woody and MM.

This is perfect for someone like Mel Gibson. He needs a reboot, and he has shown time and again that he can be awesome.
 
I read that it might be two female leads this time.

We'll have to think of actors/actresses whose career isn't trending back to the top but could be a nice change up to their career.

MM taking this role was just him continuing his amazing streak of excellent performances in film. I don't think he would've gotten this role if this show was filmed after Dallas Buyer's Club.

Woody hasn't done a serious movie since Seven Psychopaths. There's rumors flying of Zombieland 2 which would be great but IDK.

I think it all depends on where the location is. Is it going to be Texas? Maybe a border town like El Paso? LA is over done and so is Vegas. I think an interesting idea would be to do one of the small populated New England states. Maine? Rhode Island? Vermont? New Hampshire? Don't think any place is going to make a serious drama in New Mexico after BB.
 
Females - Gillian Anderson and Winona Ryder, Kathy Bates and Holly Hunter, Milla Jovovich and Fairuza Balk, Christina Ricci and Reese Witherspoon, Demi Moore and Viola Davis, Kirsten Dunst and Emma Stone. Those would all make interesting pairings.

Woody was also in the recent Bale movie. Did well, of course. A serious role.
 
I enjoyed the finale but the end was way too abrupt for me. They could've easily drawn out the mystery a few more episodes. How about a chase? At least let us get to know Childress a little more. He was an interesting character, complete with a bizarre British accent. Papania and Gilbough deserved a little more camera time too. It was like it was a 10 episode series that had to suddenly end after 8 episodes.

The best thing about the series was the Hart and Cohle bromance. They had great chemistry. The plot was highly flawed, too much Yellow King mumbo jumbo that ultimately went nowhere. Dd they ever say what all that stick art was about? What was on the video tape??? To say that those questions will be revealed in season two doesn't work for me. They promised too much only to have the show end pretty much like every crime show ends.

It didn't live up to its promise for me. Without McConaughey and Woody Harrelson next season they'll need to do a better job with the plot.

Excellent points. I agree completely. It was built up with all these clues and unanswered questions and then it was abrubtly shut off. It was like episode 8 was supposed to be episode 10 and we just deleted 8 and 9.

Yellow king, yellow king, yellow king..........dud

First things first. The British accent has been mentioned on the internet quite a bit asking why.

I thought that was pretty simple. When you walk in his house, he has about a few thousand VHS tapes. I assume he watches a different movie each day, and that the British accent was his accent for the day. I mean he is a psychopath so multiple personalities isn't stretching.

Secondly, the bromance was the real focus of the show, the murders and case secondary.

The show was more about the evolution of both men than the case itself.

By the end of the show, both men had changed quite dramatically.

Rust, who was the pessimist the entire show finally showed signs of optimism at the end. His out of body near death experience change his view on the light winning.

Marty, the cheating and lying sob, finally calls Rust his "friend" and he could no longer lie to his wife and kids when he told them he was fine and ok then started to break down in front of them. Marty,the guy in 1995 who wasn't interested in solving the case and was more interested in popularity and his own ego, felt he had to do the right thing by helping Rust this time.

The Yellow King mumbo jumbo is more of a literary reference. You'll have to cite The King in Yellow book to understand. I thought the video tape was self explanatory. Girl was being raped and then "sacrificed". Carcosa is a location in the book.

As for the rest of the cult, I thought that was explained when Rust woke up and was telling Marty they didn't get them all and Marty says we won't get them all that's not how the world works but we did get our guy. The news lady saying "The state attorney general and the FBI have dismissed rumors that the killer was related to Senator Edwin Tuttle."
 
I'll have to watch the last two episodes again. I've been distracted while watching (working at the same time) and things moved really fast toward the end. Odd that the show started so slowly and closed up with a mad rush. Great work by Harrelson and McConaughey.

Dalyn, have you seen Gillian Anderson in "The Fall?" Tremendous work.

I haven't, but I will put it on the list. Thanks for the suggestion!

Everything you posted hits all the nails on all the heads, but I want to highlight this in particular—because it is both why I ended up really enjoying the show so much, and why I'm so relieved the season ended as it did. I'm so glad there was no effort made to over-complicated the case, inject frivolous mystery at the end (beyond the very human, very real mysteries that pervade the show), or otherwise fabricate a big twist or big reveal. We eerily finally see the Yellow King—or, at least, Hart and Cohle's Yellow King—at the conclusion of the seventh episode, and in the final episode we as an audience see that revelation narratively played-out.

Though much was made about the author's Lovecraftian antecedents, the course of the show (so far) ultimately reminds me of Raymond Chandler's style of story-telling.
 
I think another thing to point out, when Papania and Gilbrough were "interviewing" Marty, and gave him enough evidence to make Rust look like the bad guy, Marty denies it outright and tells them if they dont' have anything to f off.

I think over the years, Marty didn't really blame Rust for the Maggie incident, and that he became warmer over time. Even when Marty confronts Rust about it in the car in 2012, Rust puts him in check by saying "for pushing a good woman so far she had to use me to make you go away". That really put Marty in his place, and I think Marty respected Rust more when they went their separate ways.

When Marty has second thoughts about Rust's theory in 2012, you can see how much he didn't want to help Rust until he saw Rust had something concrete (the video tape).

I think Marty hated Rust so much, that he hated the fact he had to respect Rust because everything Rust did was because of him.
 
Brad Pitt is number 1 on Thier short list.

I heard the two women series lead too. I hope not. That won't work to well.
