Vintage is the true detective in this thread.
I rewatched the opening shot of episode 1 and it looks like one person carrying a bag. Earlier in the thread someone said two people. Anyone with a hi def tv able to tell what is going on in the long shot of the field burning? Has someone on the internet CSI'ed that shit with some freeze frame lighting adjustment clarification business?

considering it's highlighted a multitude of times in the opening intro as well as throughout the various episodes, there will be a showdown at the refinery of bliblical *cough* proportions.
PARTY AT THE MOON TOWER

There are so many clues, leads, red herrings, rabbit holes and smokescreens that I'm going to be disappointed if the master killer turns out to be Cohle or even the (Prime) Minister (Sinister). So I'm going to throw this out and say the Yellow King is the one and only Lawnmower Man, who we briefly meet when the detectives check out the Tuttle school for the first time.
This is a pretty good list of suspects.

Lawn mower man is plausible. He said he works at various Tuttle sites. Maybe were being led to believe it's the Tuttle ministries, but it's really the lawnmower man.
Although this is somewhat compelling:
"2. Martin Hart
Tow-headed (the blonde/yellow king), alcoholic, and with a daughter who shows signs (see: drawings, dolls) of being introduced to sexual content at an early age, Hart blows Reggie Ledoux away rather than run the risk of his true identity becoming known. His mention in episode five of having gone hunting once is interesting specifically for his mention of having bagged a ten-point buck, the same number of points that matches Dora Lange's crown. (And, as mentioned above, he drew Cohle away from the Tuttle school that first time.)"
Not a bad explanation for why he offs LeDoux. But it raises the Q in my mind: had LeDoux seen him? That day on the property that is? If so, LeDoux likely would have said something. But I recall Hart shooting LeDoux from behind upon emerging from the house, and he was on the other side of the building when Rust first cuffed him and led him out, right?

Marty was the one who pointed the gun and cuffed him though.
Ledoux was sort of like "fuck you" until he saw Rust pointing a second fun at him from outside. Then he put his hands up. Was that a "fuck, I'm cornered?" Or a "fuck, it's that dude Crash!"

Yeah, I saw that article on Marty/Hart, etc. It was the first time I started to entertain him for this, but still- I feel like it would be a bit of a betrayal for a show that has let us in to these two characters. I mean, Marty doufusing for most of his adulthood into this would feel like a cheap reveal in episode 7 or 8.
From the first time we saw the lawnmower man, I turned to my wife and said, "this is not the last time we see this dude."

Mud, Paperboy and Killer Joe were all good performances. Wolf of Wall Street, too. Haven't seen Dallas Buyers Club.
best episode yet.
the final shot (of the tail light that we had just see busted several years earlier in the parking lot fight, still broken after all these years) was awesome.

Disagree on the Best Episode by a wide margin. Domestic drama nonsense.
It was a good, but a far cry from the best. Marty stays being a dick...

So does Marty see footage of his kid as a little kid or as a teen? Rust tells him he has to see something and then he is very upset.
I guess they reteam and solve it once and for all.

I would concur about not being the best episode - but still damn good in my book. Although it would appear that this episode sets up how the series will end (both working together again, solving case), I am kinda hoping for another red herring, just to keep it fun.
also - is it established that the "Tall" man with scars has not yet been identified? Ricky Leboux didn't seem to have them, and the lawnmower man doesn't appear to have any noticeable scars either.
Really curious to find out who that will be.
