hobbesthecat Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Patton Oswalt posted this on Twitter, from the first time we see the lawnmower man NOTICE KING sold find...read somewhere that Pizzolatto was quoted saying that background of sets are specific, so if you see something like the above pic it's prbly on purpose also - if that is the case, i'm REALLY crossing my fingers that if Marty and Rust "catch the bad guys" the crazy backwoods religion/cult doesn't continue on through Marty's daughter via showing her paintings as the spirals from the murder scenes.

xadamhudsonx Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 That yellow king video gave me a nice chuckle. +1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Guys, watch the video and have a laugh. GOD DAMN IT. I believed you and watched the video, entirely ruined it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 No spoilers in this article but some food for thought on The Yellow King. I'd say don't read if you want to still retain some surprise factor and what the finale may or may not reveal. http://www.vanityfair.com/vf-hollywood/true-detective-after-youve-gone-recap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horrorbusiness138 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Glad I didn't watch. A video that spoils the ending of the big reveal should be clearly labeled "WARNING -- SIGNIFICANT SPOILERS" or something similar if it's gonna be posted at all. I'm out of here until Sunday. Don't want to read anyone elses response to that. Yep, same here. See everyone after Sunday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xadamhudsonx Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Pretty good article, but I don't buy the boat theory at all. Interesting theory. But just as easily as The Yellow King could be the name of the boat (and the more I think about it, the more that would be a stroke of genius. Sending us down the path looking for a person all season just to have the proper name given to an object, super common and an easy misdirect) Carcosa could be the name of a boat, instead of some secret ritual location site. The site could be the vessel itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I kind of thought of the Yellow King as part of the idolatry for their rituals. If he is personified in the final episode it would be analogous to, say, the Pope in Catholicism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippielauryn Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yeah, if you remember when they go back and talk to Reggie's old cell mate he said that Reggie described a place in the woods with large stones. That is most certainly the place that they go to do these ritual killings. I still think Carcosa and the yellow king are all part of this religion that they preach. Kind of like god and heaven. They don't exist in reality, but they do exist spiritually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_jones Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Everyone who has mentioned the Yellow King refers to them as if they are a person. The guy in the interrogation room says that they didnt get the right guy and the Yellow King is still out there. Charlie Lange says that Dora "met a king" and you don't usually "meet" inanimate objects. Not saying the theory is not plausible, just saying I don't buy it.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Lawnmower Man (or someone else) could be the "Yellow King" as he exists in the current story, which may or may not be a titled bestowed upon him. Doesn't mean he is the first, only or last. Also doesn't exclude the term from having a broader theological meaning. All three of us could be correct in this case!

hippielauryn Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 So many theories and thoughts. Just goes to show you how great this show is. I really want to know the ending, but I never want it to end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David The Gnome Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Not reading a single post in this thread because *spoilers* but I just started watching this yesterday (4 episodes in) and I'm loving it. Gonna watch the last 3 tonight and then read the thread. hippielauryn and Snaggle Von Swift 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
