Only pics I could find right now.
 
Gotta love the zombie eyes dogs have in every picture.
 
When it comes to dogs, I've been conformed to the Pitbull side.
 
True Detective. Masterpiece.

The best suspense series I've ever seen. I'm not sure how they'll top that next season, but I'm tuning in for sure. Mconaughey was out of this world terrific. Talk about a great acting performance.
 
I had a French mastiff. The type of dog from Turner & Hooch. He was a great dog. Not as messy as the movie portrays of course. He was amazing with my baby boy. He passed away about 18mos ago.

My wife & son talked me into getting an English Bulldog instead of another mastiff. He's cool but he's been a lot harder to train than the mastiff.

If you have room & the $ then I would suggest the French mastiff. Great guard dog & family dog.
 
I remember when Nickelodeon had great shows. Sam & Cat is ****, in a bad way.

I really enjoyed the finale. Nic Pizzolatto delivered the character drama he promised all along. And it was a perfect first chapter to an anthology about the constant struggle between good and evil. Light vs. Dark.

Came across a great article this morning about the origin of many set-pieces on the show. Here's a funny tidbit:

The Spirals

You see them everywhere. The bird formation. On the back of Dora Lange. In the freshly mowed grass. There’s just one place that a spiral made an accidental appearance ...

For those tracking the appearances of the spirals, you can cross off the one you found in Hart’s house. That was a mistake. “I didn’t even notice that one,” DiGerlando said. “We got a whole bunch of artwork from the daughter of a friend of mine down the street and used it to decorate Marty’s house. None of us put it together that there was a spiral in there.”

Thanks, that was great!

Yeah, i loved the last 10 minutes. I had forgotten about Rusts daughter and that final scene with him feeling her in the afterlife and then waking up was epic, epic acting. I've always liked Mconaghey, since the movie Contact with Jodie Foster. I thought he was underrated in that film. He's really elevated himself to another level with the last 4 or 5 projects he chosen.

But the writing is the star here. I am unsure if this could be topped due to such great acting performances (and an insane location) but Pizzolatto seems to be a special writer so im sure hell come up with something different, yet just as intoxicating. He said in an article that he probably wont have the same director (Fukunaga was brilliant, especially that six-minute single take at the end of episode 4) but he wants to incorporate an area (he hinted at Southern California/Mexico, but who knows) as one of the characters again. Im holding out hope that its Alaska and Rust and Marty are back since they mentioned it a few times. (Also Marty said to Rust that he is "unkillable" - hint?)

Whoever the next actors are (im hoping for Fassbender if they dont bring back Rust and Marty) i'll be on top of that series like flies on ****.

The length epilogue nicely brought the show back to its focus -- two men and the ways they've changed over the years. Hart was filled to the brim with self-confidence and the certainty that he had his personal life figured out. But when Maggie and his girls visit him in the hospital out of a certain level of obligation, there's a distance there, and Hart can feel that distance. He's reduced to tears, knowing that he alone created that distance. And Cohle, the blunt realist, the charismatic atheist. But when he felt his daughter and father's presence in that darkness before death, he woke up realizing there just might be more to the human experience than the stories we tell ourselves. His last line -- about light winning -- was the first optimistic thing we hear from Cohle.

Pizzolatto suggested in a since-deleted tweet that Season 2 was going to feature female leads. He also had this to say:

(It's about) hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system.

If it is indeed set in Southern California, it might be loosely based on the General Motors Streetcar Conspiracy.

Nice summarization of how everything came full circle (or should I say, spiral) for the two leads. Spot on. That's what made this series so attractive to me. It was so much more than a crime drama. Such an examination of light and dark and the stories we tell ourselves, wrapped around two transformed characters. So well written and incredibly performed. I really can't think of a better show i've seen.

Is this new news? Thanks for sharing. Interesting. I wonder if a 40's/50's period piece featuring a trailblazing duo is some kind of retribution for the not-so-flattering depiction of women in the first series. I know that was under fire for a little bit and maybe it influenced Pizzolatto? Who would be your choices for the female leads? Hard women...
