[spoiler=your text here]blah blah blah[/spoiler]Really enjoyed that episode.
The following is how I think the show might end, so just don't click on it you're one of those people who bitches about spoilers.

With the way things have panned out so far, the comments from Rust in the last episode and Marty seemingly saying goodbye to his ex, I really wouldn't be surprised to see them both get killed in the last episode, and the case remain unsolved. Or they get killed but the case gets exposed. The fact there is very little time to wrap things up might point towards this too, and also, the fact that we know the characters won't be returning in season 2. They both seem to be at a point in their lives (with nothing to lose) where they are willing to sacrifice everything to solve the case once and for all.
feck this test, Eboue or feck this Eboue, test
I did edit my previous post as well, not the right way but at least warns someone before clicking the spoiler.
Nah
I do agree that one or both of the two getting killed in the finale is more likely but the case won't go unsolved. Plus, it's fairly straightforward now, IMHO - the Tuttles & Childresses.
Lawnmower man (Errol) is related to the Sheriff Childress who helped bury evidence earlier in the timeline and is part of the group of nutsos (Along with the Tuttles) abducting children etc.
There was an interview with the writer for the show and he was pretty explicit that there wasn't going to be any Lost-esque story explanations. No need to search for the implausible, it'll be rather obvious.
Plus, I think we can clearly gather Marty's daughter was somehow victimized in all of this. Also wouldn't be surprised if one of her paintings doesn't fuel the connection to the crimes

That was amazing, surprised anyone can be disappointed really, though I do agree it feels like a different show without the flashbacks and is definitely more formulaic, but still brilliant.
Someone called groundskeeper dude being the villain pretty early on, didn't they?

Been thinking about what might go down in the finale. I could see Rust and Marty being killed, but what they find/their deaths alerts the two black detectives who have been interviewing them and they end up exposing it.
It seems like an awful lot of material is being left to this last episode which is slightly worrying, but, the show has been brilliant so far so I trust that the finale will be handled well too.
The last two did feel like a slow down really, but that's largely because 4 and 5 were so incredible. I doubt even the finale will top those two tbf.
I think the finale can either disappoint or generate almost no feeling at this point. It still does not make the show any less great for me.
I've only ever watched three finales that didn't disappoint in some way (Breaking Bad season 4, The Wire season 2 & The West Wing season 2) so, yeah, it's hardly a failure if it's not the greatest episode in history. As long as it doesn't go all X Files (which it wont) the shows pretty much already earned it's stripes.
In the first few episodes I was a bit concerned that the show was going to be all Cohle but Marty has been great in his own way in the last two episodes.
Excellent show.
After the first episode, I was totally lost and thought "oh this isn't going to be my thing" but I persisted and they've all been great since. I also re-watched episode 1, which makes more sense now that I get the story more.

spotted it, watched it, loved it. What on Earth is going to happen in the last episode!?!
Tried to recommend this to my family, but they have given up after 2 episodes, thinking it was too slow and had a lot of tv-filler.
Therefore I have decided either to disown them, to accept I must be an inbred because of their decision, or both combined.

Who gives up on this show? Disown them...
Is this like breaking bad good? The posts here make it seem so.
probably better than any single season of BB on its own.
No way. BB is brilliant and deserved all the praise they got.
True Detective is also excellent, but a totally different show. Much straight forward. And obviously excellent... is HBO. You don't need to ask "should i watch this shit?" when its a HBO international tv series.
I think they're a bit too dumb to solve anything.
BB left a very "meh" taste in my mouth anyway with its final season.
Nope.
BB is so overrated on here at times. True Detective is definitely as good, probably better. You'd swear BB was some godly show on its own pedestal the way you lot go on.
On par most definitely, I'd say better...
You can say the same about True Detective. Over hyped without limits, just because of the 2 main actors.
The fact is, nor BB or True Detective, are in the level of The Wire. But they still are a great watch.

is it? it's not hyped anything close to BB was, "best show ever by a mile" according to most people on here. All I said was that as a single season it's better than any single season of BB, hardly outlandish, I'm not saying overall it's better, that'd be unfair because BB spent five seasons being great where as this only has to do it for eight episodes, but as usual BB lovers go "omg wtf no way bb best eva".
Hardly the same quality or genre but McConaughey & Harrelson also paired up in an oldie but goldie film called EdTV
What's the compulsive need to compare? Can't you just call both shows great (or whatever you think of them) and end it at that?
On its own pedestal? Erm, I guess, that pedestal sits below a few others though.
Someone asked a question, chill out Frenchie.
They are both excellent shows and it comes down to your preference. I prefer BB to True Detective.
I actually do too, cause it gave me five great seasons. I just don't think any single season of BB on its own matches TD.
I think it's fairly close but yeah, it's not an outlandish opinion to have. Season 4 of Dexter is also right up there with any of the BB seasons but overall BB wins through on sheer consistency.
It's really fine with me if you wanna carry on, but I do think the continuous comparisons drag down the level of discussion in here and it really gets tiresome to read by turning the whole thing into a dick measuring contest instead of appreciating or criticizing, depending on whatever your opinion is, the show.
You're the guy who writes thousands of words comparing footballers from the 50s to ones from the 90s, right?
Well I think we can at least agree on one thing. TV is fecking awesome these days.
I'm enjoying this show so much. Marty and Rust are two of my favourite characters ever created on screen, and they work so well together. It's a shame that we won't see them again after the next episode but it's also awesome, because there will be no chance to ruin them as TV often does.

Indeed, and as much as I'll miss them in the show I guess they might not have agreed for multiple seasons and this being an 8 episode thing was what made them agree, which is great for the show. I just hope they don't get someone completely incapable of carrying on the class of the show.
This first season is up there, maybe even better then any individual season Breaking Bad had to offer. Seriously doubt it'll keep up the level though because of the type of show it is in season 2, but to be honest, season 1 and 2 probably won't have anything to do with each other so you can look at this on its own. Probably one of the best individual seasons of a tv show.
I will say that Breaking Bad had a large number of interesting and/or sympathetic characters, while True Detective has two interesting characters.
Daddario's left boob and Daddario's right boob? Interesting to say the least.
