I can believe it. You can tell that he's not happy with his marriage, and he needs some sort of release. This girl just happened to be that release.
I know the mere fact that he is being questioned implies that he is a suspect (as well as the fact that the questions asked to Marty are mostly related to Cohle), but are we to believe Cohle truly committed the murders? So far, every major discovery and lead has been found through him: The twig-figure in the Fontaine girls playhouse, the church where they found the antlered drawing, ... And then there was the throwaway line by the working girl, where she called him a dangerous man.
Hard to argue against this 425415655291371520 is not a valid tweet id This show is even worse than BE in this regard. For all the criticism leveled at GoT, that show at least has several female characters who aren't just around to show T&A at the writers convenience. I'm not saying I'm out by any means, as the show is pretty entertaining. But you'd wish that a 2014 HBO drama would be a bit more gender diversified in its key roles.
I have one question about this TV show. I'm not an English speaker so, I'm not sure whether I understand the meaning of one line correctly or not. On episode 1, Detective Cohle said something like "How could it be him if we already caught him in '95". Did they catch the killer in 1995 or not?
This show is the most overt composite of every famous Police Procedural and related you know. Adds ZERO to the genre. Oh and is sexist I guess. Should be renamed "Sad McConaughey & Underbite"
That's true, Hart is a mere passenger on the case so far. Cohle always thinks he is the smartest guy in the room so could be playing an elaborate game. We shall see.
Oh, and the bit where Harts daughters were playing with the little dolls and had them set up in a rape scene was creepy.
There was also the "I know who I am" line, which could be interpreted in many ways, but gets a very specific meaning if he is indeed the killer.
I have to say that this bothered me a bit from a standpoint of believability. Both of those women falling for 50-something Woody Harrelson (I know he is supposed to be younger in the 1995 scenes, but still) is pushing suspension of disbelief to its very limits.
I think it's the first red herring. I don't think the killer has been introduced. I like the Mardi Gras clues though. The antlers are cajun Mardi Gras head pieces and the photo that Rust looked at twice at the victim's mother's house shows her with cajun Mardi Gras people in indian and capuchon costumes. I think there will be a cajun/voodoo angle to this.
Part of the problem is that Harrelson's character at that time is younger than Harrelson. Think of him at the age he was in EdTV. Or thereabouts.
Two episodes in. I'll wait and see. And I disagree to an extent. The gender numbers are skewed, yes, but the depictions of women are not as one-sided as she claims they are. The argument between Marty and Maggie Hart is only a depiction of a nagging wife if you came in looking for that. She was right. He was wrong. And they both knew it. And it was written for us to know it, too. Furthermore, if you take the dinner scene in the first episode into account, she's insightful enough to figure out more of what's going 0n with Rust in 5 minutes than Marty had in 3 months.
That scene actually reminded me of a scene in the movie "The Way Back", when Saoirse Ronan's character joined the group of escaped male prisoners who at that point had been together for months but knew next to nothing about each other. She then proceeded to pry their personal histories out of them in a matter of days.
Hah! I'd totally forgotten that movie and the fact that Ronan was in it. You're right, there is a parallel. Speaking of women, the Hart girls are being used to tell us something. Not only the Barbie gang rape scene was--as noted--weird. The fact that both kids were out on a pond standing in a canoe with no life vests was weird. And it came in the episode when Rust told us something about what happened to his daughter. It's like 2666-lite Ciudad Juarez has been superimposed on Louisiana.
