I hate that it's about to end. So many loose ends to tie up in this final episode.
Agreed. I was talking to @ressespieces last night about how it seems like they have a long way to go in just 60 minutes.
I was expecting a little more, usually HBO's episode before the last is all shabang and the finale is the aftermath. But looking back on it we got alot of things confirmed in this episode that viewers already kind of knew. We knew lawnmower guy was a culprit (cutting the lawn in a spiral), but if you were oblivious to everything that would of been a shock. Seems like everything with Marty and Chole from the past is checking out and they were telling the truth. Choles been drunk, Marty still has his ego with the "girlfriends, informal dates" lines yet we see him eating TV dinners in a lonely apartment reading his dating profile. His kids are alive and doing well, and Maggie seems to be doing good for herself. This episode brought back to reality just how far fetched we as viewers were reaching into things only to have the clues come back around to characters we've met in the first half of the season. Seems like the whole thing is boiling down to a family affair starting from the Tuttles to the Childress family.
*Song at the beginning off the jukebox: Juice Newton’s “Angel Of The Morning.”
I liked that quote from Mcconaughey at the end of that Rolling Stone article, but as others have mentioned: I never thought he'd be back. It seemed pretty clear from the start that if there was a second season it would focus on different characters. As for this season, I am starting to question, with just an hour to go, if we are going to get a tied-up-nice-and-neat resolution or something more open ended. Also, I liked how the 7th episode gave us glimpses of Rust and Marty's lives after they parted ways. It seemed like a natural character arc for both men in the wake of the things they did and saw while partners.
I was thinking about Rust saying he wants to cut off the circle of his life, him not being able to promise that Marty wouldn't get hurt and Marty ducking the question when Maggie asked if he was saying goodbye. With other series where you know the protagonists are going to come back the next season, you know they have to pull it out in the end. With the negative tone of the show and the format of new characters and story, you can't 100% say that the boys are going to succeed. I would still put the success rate really high because of everyone liking the heroes to win, but this last episode made it pretty plain that neither of them really have much to go back to once the case is all over.

Also when Marty tells Chole he dosnt look healthy, maybe Chole was diagnosed and thought of it as a sign to get everything resolved. He may see this as the time for his "crucifixion" and is why he dosnt promise Marty he wont get hurt. The dude does smoke about a carton a episode.

I don't know what I think about last night yet, considering I was a little tipsy and very tired while watching it at 1:30 in the morning. I know that I'm dedicated to this show, though, to do that.
Does anyone know if they will have a marathon and show episodes 1-7 prior to airing episode 8? I'd like to be able to view them all in order before the finale.
I am re-watching the whole season prior to the season finale because i want to make sure I havent missed any clues. When i saw the previews for the show late last year i knew i was going to enjoy the show, but i never saw it creeping into my top 5 shows of all time and sure enough, it has.
I dont know if anyone else caught this or if im imagining it, but i am almost certain that one of the two security guards that spoke to the prisoner before he apparently commited suicide; last name was Childress.
I am just a little dumbfounded that the guy with the burnt face is just some a$$hole that mows lawns. Ledoux was a nobody as well (meth cook). I am just curious how these guys have so much political influence and yet are unable to elevate themselves in social status. I am sure all will be explained in the final episode.

I assume the anonymity provided by those professions serves them and the cult much more than if they had higher profiles. To me it seems more realistic that the killer is this seemingly innocuous groundskeeper.

Its all a family thing. Some of the family are high up police men, all the way up to governor and senator. Im guessing old Lawnmower guy just didnt have the stuff to be in the public eye, so they went and gave him the lawns at all their abandoned creep schools to mow with a side bonus for abductions.
The 3 "boys" from the school were the Ledouxs' and The lawnmower guy. Hes the last of the 3. Who the 5 old white rich dudes are I would assume the Tuttle brothers we know of count for 2. Ill count one as the former Sheriff. I dont think his son they have on the boat is one of the 5.
From next weeks Preview: It seems like a fat guy has a skinny guy with long hair strapped to a table. I think that person is Rust and they/he capture him/he let himself get captured. Marty will show up and ...I really dont know from there. Blaze of glory? Nice, happy ending?
And does anybody know who the owner of the bar is and why hes got a rifle in the finale? Seems like he was rather intent on Rust and Martys convos at the bar and has a whole part in the current Sheriff interrogation.
Also I was thinking if killings have been going on all over the place, why was Dora Lange the only one on full display?

Rust mentions during the course of Sunday's episode that he is the owner of the bar, and he dislikes the police because his son was taken and never found. My assumption was that he comes along to help Rust in an attempt to avenge his son. He could be the wild card for Rust and Marty since the two of them are well-known to the bad guys while he is largely unknown or just written off as the drunk who owns the bar. Also, much like Marty and Rust, it doesn't seem like he has a whole bunch to live for either.
I want to comment here, but I'm worried I'll just spoil it for you folks.
To put it simply: the man with the scars is not just some nobody Slingbade-sounding mother fucker. He has friends in high places. And, like he said, they've been here a "long, long time." Mmmmmm-hm.

I just remember awhile back Rust goes to talk to a guy who lost his son and they said alligators may have got him. I was wondering if that was the same guy but most likely just another guy Rust came across when investigating.
Gonna try and rewatch the season so far for next Sunday... I've not been keeping up with how many episodes/what the show's format overall is going to be, but I was unaware while watching the other night's ep that this was actually the next to last part. It did feel like it was the episode before the next to last.

Below is a family tree that really helped sort everything out for me. Along the lines of Flanzo's comment, it could be viewed as a spoiler, but it isn't any new / forward looking info..just someone with time who pieced everything together.

I read an awesome theory on reddit that said the Yellow King is actually a boat that the Spaghetti Monster uses to capture the children on the coast. Doesn't really add up considering there were so many victims taken directly from the Tuttle church programs, but a cool theory regardless.
I think the Yellow King is dead. I think it was Sam Tuttle and he basically handed down his sicko traits to a bunch of his sicko offspring, thus leading to the present situation. Kind of like Dragon Tattoo where the dead dad was a sick creep and passed it on to his son.
In that article is a quote from Pizzolatto that I like:
“I’ve enjoyed reading people theorize about what’s going to happen because it’s a sign that you’re connecting. But I’m also sort of surprised by how far afield they’re getting. Like, why do you think we’re tricking you? It’s because you’ve been abused as an audience for more than 20 years. I cannot think of anything more insulting as an audience than to go through eight weeks, eight hours with these people, and then to be told it was a lie—that what you were seeing wasn’t really what was happening. The show’s not trying to outsmart you.”

Is this an actual quote from Nic Pizzolatto or is someone just reciting the angry tweets I've been sending Damon Lindelof since Lost ended?

True story, I sent Damon Lindelof a tweet saying "Holy shit, I almost forgot how much the ending to Lost sucked" and he tweeted me back with a sarcastic "Oh I must have forgot myself." But that wasn't the funny part. The funny part was when I got hateful tweets for two weeks straight from all the Losties. Two weeks straight. It was awesome.

I find it hilarious now that at one point we didn't get along. I've been carrying the "Lost fucking sucked" torch for years now.
I refuse to even start Lost because of how much I've heard the ending sucks.
Sometimes people still try to convince me it's worth watching despite the ending. Misery loves company, I guess?
The first few seasons are A-level TV programming. Then it became painfully obvious that the show runners had no fucking idea what to do and just started getting stoned before writing new episodes. That's the only explanation I'll accept, at least.
