[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Cohle and Hart couldn't get a cell signal and the serial killer didn't have a phone so how did the cops know to swoop in especially because both detectives had gone "off the grid" so to speak. What did I miss? [/quote]

My understanding is that the killer had one non working phone, but Marty realized that everyone must have a phone (he states that everyone has a phone) and threatens the killer's half sister/lover into telling him where the working phone is.  [/quote]

Oh! yes you're right!  what stuck in my mind was the non-working landline phone not thinking that the sister told him where the working one was.

On a different subject, Cohle's story of his near-death experience was riveting.  I was sad for him because you KNOW he wanted to let go but something pulled him back into that ugly world he lives in. That show does no favors for the state of LA.  Just like Low Winter Sun does no favors for Detroit.  shows the nasty underbelly of both places.  [/quote]

Yes, so agree about the near-death scene.  Matthew McC deserves an Emmy just for that scene alone.

This whole season was amazing but I will say that the first scene of the finale episode, with the lawnmower man having sex with the lover/sister and saying "tell me about grandpa again" or whatever was so ridiculous that I could not stop laughing.  I found it way over the top.

Re this show doing no favors for LA, give me a break, do you think this is "real" LA?  No more so than the Wire is really Baltimore or House of Cards is really DC.  This is totally fiction.[/quote]

I'm from Southwest Louisiana, which is where the show is set. Most of the show was pretty spot on. And I absolutely think that if this were real life here, most of the establishment cops would sweep under the rug/refuse to look into links with important people/etc that we saw on the show. Nic Pizzolatto is from my hometown and portrayed it well.[/quote]

Okay, I'm the PP who said this is not "real" LA and I'm also from LA.  The scenery was good and some of the cops were realistic but I think it's totally incorrect to say this represents "real" LA.  People will take that to mean we're all full of the occult and that there are disgusting guys like Childress and Ledoux down every random country road.  Yes, it looked like Louisiana but the story was completely fictional.  [/quote]

Hah, I'd be interested to hear what town you're from. Obviously we're not all devil worshippers but if you told me that the Tuttle/Ledoux/Childress pedophile ring was located in my town I'd not be shocked in the slightest.[/quote]
