True Detective

The Long Bright Dark - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the overhead shot of Rust and Marty driving to the Dora Lange crime scene, the cornfields show no signs of being burned. Based on the amount of fire shown in the episode's opening scene, that should be very visible.

The Secret Fate of All Life - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: The first time we see Detective Cohle being interviewed by the other two detectives, two of the beer cans on the table in front of him completely vanish between shots when he asks to see the rest of the discovery file.

Quotes

Detective Rust Cohle: I can't say the job made me this way. More like me being this way made me right for the job. I used to think about it more, but you reach a certain age you know who you are. Now I live in a little room, out in the country behind a bar, work four nights a week, and in between I drink. And there ain't nobody there to stop me. I know who I am. And after all these years, there's a victory in that.

Questions

Season 1 generally

Question: Was wondering why no explanation is ever given as to how and why Rust's weird ass, very detailed philosophy of space and time - with the crushed metal time disc and rotational electrical souls going around it forever etc. etc. - somehow is the exact same thing, right down to specific details, that at least three of the freaks, throughout this series, espouse. The underling freaks may espouse it because the main freak believes it - but we see Rust just arriving at it in his own mind.
