True Detective - Woody Harrelson/Matthew McConaughey

[Kirkland Laing]

Hart: Today, that scene. That is the most fucked up thing I ever caught. Ask you something? You’re Christian, yeah?
Cohle: No.


Hart: Well then what do you got that cross for in your apartment?
Cohle: That’s a form of meditation.
Hart: How’s that?
Cohle: I contemplate the moment in the garden, the idea of allowing your own crucifixion.


Hart: But you’re not a Christian, so what do you believe?
Cohle: I believe that people shouldn’t talk about this type of shit at work.


Hart: Hold on, hold on. Three months we been together, I get nothing from you. Today, what we’re into, now. Do me a courtesy, okay? I’m not trying to convert you.
Cohle: Look, I’d consider myself a realist, alright, but in philosophical terms I’m what’s called a pessimist.
Hart: Um, okay, what’s that mean?
Cohle: It means I’m bad a parties.


Hart: Let me tell ya, you ain’t great outside of parties either.


Cohle: I think human consciousness was a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware. Nature created an aspect of Nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law.
Hart: Well that sounds God-fucking awful, Rust.
Cohle: We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, a secretion of sensory experience and feeling, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody’s nobody.
Hart: I wouldn’t go around spouting that shit I was you. People around here don’t think that way. I don’t think that way.
Cohle: I think the honorable thing for our species to do is deny our programming; stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction. One last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.


Hart: So what’s the point of getting out of bed in the morning?
Cohle: I tell myself I bear witness, but the real answer is that it’s obviously my programming. And I lack the constitution for suicide.


Hart: So, what’s the point of getting out of bed in the morning?
Cohle: I tell myself I bear witness, but the real answer is that it’s obviously my programming. And I lack the constitution for suicide.
Hart: My luck, I picked today to get to know you. Three months, I don’t hear a word from you and—
Cohle: You asked.
Hart: Yeah. And now I’m begging for you to shut the fuck up.
Cohle: I get a bad taste in my mouth out here. Aluminum. Ash. I can smell a psycho’s fear.
Hart: I got an idea. Let’s make the car a place of silent reflection from now on. Okay?

Great show that chick from Percy Jackson, damn she grew up

[Fenster]

Tuttles, Childress, Lawnmower man/scarface, police cover-up, Carcosa, Yellow King? The detectives curse - they miss what is right under their nose.

[Kirkland Laing]

If you haven't seen this you really need to watch it. Fantastic telly.

Great final ep for the season

[Fenster]

I was disappointed by the the finale, not because it didn't make sense to the overall story, which was obviously about the the two main characters, but because I turned into a super fucking saddo and started reading every fucking blog/review/opinion about what was happening. I ended up re-watching every episode at least three times before it was over and started to believe that utterly irrelevant details were actually important. These super nerds, totally over analysing everything, had me questioning whether or not I even understood what I was watching.
