True Detective: Tom went in to listen to the Cardinals game...in November. Mmmmmhmmmm... (1 Viewer)

How does 2015 Mays have no recollection of 1990 Mays getting in the car with Hoyt?

I sort of get the the whole memory loss schtick - but its playing out like there was some closure in 1990 - that should have been recalled somewhere along the line.

It certainly appears that Hoyt does not fess up when he has Hays in the car - but, seems like everything lined up.

I think there was a scene where 2015 Hays mentions to Roland that he met with Hoyt once but never told him about it.

Intense.  Hope we get some closure with only episode left but I think there will still be many questions regarding Hoyt,etc.  I could do with another 2-3 episodes fleshing out this story.

On another note,  makes me sad to see these guys age when they used to be young and so full of life. Not looking forward to getting old   :kicksrock:

Beats the hell out of the alternative. 

 
On a flight to shanghai, have all 7 episodes loaded up, will be live streaming my thoughts as they come for the next 7 to 15 hours.

 
Would fingerprints degrade if you kept a body in a freezer for 10 years?  Would make for a good cover story.  Carry around the hand of a kid you killed, have it show up on a crime scene 10 years later.  Think about it.  

 
Thinking about jumping in for the finale tonight but don’t really have time to watch the rest of the season before it starts. Can I get a cliffs on what’s happened so far?

It’s just about some guy who can’t remember a murder he investigated so you’ll probably be on the same page as him. 

 
A 5' 8" mid-forties Stephen Dorff taking on a bar filled with bikers was as believable as a 5' 8" mid-forties Matthew McConaughey taking on a house filled with bikers.

I'm thinking it was accidental maybe? 

Did Hoyt's daughter lose a husband and a daughter? Maybe they had to kill the boy just to eliminate him so it's just Julie to be Hoyt's daughter's fantasy daughter.

Hopefully you didn't.  That was probably the least engaging of the episodes for the season. 

 
I’m very satisfied with the finale. The story kept me intrigued throughout the series, and in the end, we got our answers. The bar fight was out of place, but had some good one liners from Roland. The biggest mystery to me was how he ended up in the parking lot alone with a bottle of Jack from behind the bar with the pour spout still attached.

In the end, the story was about Hays and his life spent on the case... not the case itself.  :thumbup:

Agreed.   I enjoyed this season quite a lot.

I saw it as more of his disease working on him. I enjoyed the finale. I felt like he solved the case and for a brief moment he realized he solved it. I think its very likely that the next day he forgot there was a case.

 
Good season but the finale felt rushed.  Even at 1:15 minutes every scene just felt in a hurry.  Feels like the writers just ran out of time.   No resolution with eliza, the daughter coming back was just too gift wrapped,  Lucy hiding in plain sight, the whole Hoyt angle was just bizarre.

 
I can't find that thread where we talk about actors popping up in small parts but did anybody notice that Harris James's widow was Roxanne Hart, who played Christopher Lambert's big-haired squeeze in Highlander?

 
3.25/5.  Acting was great.  Story was great to start.  i think it got bogged down somewhere & didn't quite get back on the rails.  All in all I'm glad I watched though.

Maybe. Just seemed like a weird way to end it.That's obviously a huge scene - the final one. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

 
Thought it was great.  I wonder if week to week television leads to the disappointment- some of the stuff I read in here was not getting answers to really obscure stuff. Maybe the fact that everything is overanalyzed to such a high degree, that leads to people wanting answers to everything little detail.

Would have been cool to see his son ultimately solve the case, but then let Julie live in peace.

I think that would have dragged.  With him putting the address in his pocket, I feel we're led to believe he does exactly what you say.  They could have just as easily showed him ripping it and putting it in the trash can.

What exactly did you want to hear about Elisa?  She’s playing the Sarah Koenig character - she’s just there to move Wayne along through the story because he’s incapable of doing it himself. She wasn’t a part of the mystery though.

Me too. Really liked the whole season and I thought it was a satisfying finale. My only two issues:

1. The Eliza stuff was obviously a larger commentary on conspiracy culture and our constant search for some grand unified theory. Which is a cool idea, but they should have at least teased that angle at least a little bit. Maybe they did, but I don't remember it.

2. I thought the audience deserved to know what happened to Alicia. Presumably she's dead, but it would have been nice to have a little closure there. Would be easy to do with just a line or two, and I don't really know what purpose was served by not doing it.

Which one was Alicia? Do you mean ... Amelia?
