My guess is the Yellow King is not one person but several people who are part of this rich/privileged group of social deviants. My money is on the lawnmower man being part of this as he is tall, scars on face, beard, Green ear plugs. I would also say that Marty's oldest daughter has been exposed to this cult as evidenced by the barbie rape/orgy scene, throwing her sisters crown in the tree, the spiral painting on the fridge, and finally the 3some. I have a feeling Marty's father in law is part of this cult as he is obviously rich, opinionated towards youth, and the way Mother in law was trying to make the wife look like she was treating Marty poorly (stereotype of abused woman-covering for husbands behavior)

Damn, really good observations. Seriously. But if this is turns out to be a spoiler i may be pissed.

The show does require a modicum of concentration, kind of like another killer HBO show "The Wire". I watch T.D. on Sunday nights, kind of late, and Sunday evenings for me are usually reserved for sipping the Anejo so I'm hardly at the top of my game.

Check out Mud. Probably one of best movies I've seen in years. Huck Finn meets Shawshank Redemption meets Stand by Me.

Sounds pretty good, I'm on it, thanks!

I actually hated him until this past year. How the hell was he such a horrible actor for so long and all of a sudden he's one of Hollywood's best?

HGH?

Do it. It was really well received by critics and it's just a damn good movie. Soundtrack is excellent too. I love Lucero n they do whole tracks, goes so good with the movie

lol me too. I love the show so much wish I didn't read others thoughts on who did what. Oh well..

One thing I love bout this show is how it's different than usual crime dramas. Anything set in rural south is creepy. Its kinda a southern gothic drama, with dark creepy elements set down in the backwoods lonesome highways of the Bayous of Louisiana.. Sooo cool.

My friend tried telling me it was boring and isn't good like walking dead. Didn't know what to say to that lol

Walking Dead is good, but nowhere near the level of production/acting/script as T.D.

And I cannot agree more with your sentiment about the South, I ain't from 'round there and will go nowhere near.

El "Carcosa" Guano is the Yellow King

Didn't know you have cable TV in your trailer. Let me guess. A Winnebago with flames on the side under a Preparation x banner

I was never a fan of Matt M., but damn he can play a tortured/psychotic good/bad guy really well.

And I have been practicing making tin stick-men from beer cans, pretty sweet bar trick (although I have only tried at home).

Be caredul in your trailer with those Schmidts *** beer cans. You might not get your monthly salary recycling those shredded cans in that condition lol

Preparation X....don't ever leave or change....please!:pray:

Guano. One of us is well educated, and one of us isn't. One of us is far more likely than the other to be in proximity to a trailer. Your attempt at pulling a Jedi mind-trick here is noble, yet sad.

No one on this MB or in any walk is buying your weak-ass attempt to turn the tables. We accept you for whom you are, embrace your inner Guano!

You truly remind me of the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I'm watching the first 4 episodes for the third time now lol. My parents wanted to get into it and asked me to watch it with them n my buddy now is over n asked to start watching it.. So 3rd time I've seen these already.

Honestly, it's so in depth n gripping I'm actually not tired of it. Pretty cool

The Woody/Matt combo is just filthy! Southern actors who are perfect for this awesome series. We are spoiled at how funny these guys are together. I hope they go to work on the bad guys!

This interview says it all. It's funny he was promoting Dallas Buyers Club(which was great) but when got on subject of True Detective, you can tell he literally seemed excited talking about it and seeing the interviewer already watched a few episodes.. He genuinely looked all happy n proud of the work. Seemed like a kid talking about his favorite baseball card lol

Pretty damn impressive you have a movie star like him sign up for the role after only reading two scripts and the rest of the season wasn't even written yet.. WOW

Yeah, buy how many times did you watch the 2nd episode by itself?
