How has cohle been ruled out? Since the detectives are accusing him of being involved, it's too obvious of a connection now?

I decided to spoiler this and my other post, since I did the possible spoiling:

The scene at the end of the most recent episode. What reason does he have to go back to the school on his own? It seemed clear to me he was surprised by the stick pyramids there. Also, we know he was randomly assigned to the investigation, and rather than cover up tracks he's driven the whole thing as far as it's gotten. The only thing that gives me a little pause is how he's lucked into or sniffed out some of the clues - the painting on the wall, the various pyramids, etc..

True D thoughts:

Sure seems like Rust realizes this murder coven runs deep and he has to go off the radar to investigate further and never really stopped investigating. Could totally see Hart's father in law being involved, but not Hart himself.
On a lighter note, True D opening credits WITH CATS

1. Good job, whoever did that. Seriously, I love the production values on the original and they did a heck of a job matching it.

2. I still wish they'd managed to stick strippers in American flag bikinis in the empty cat silhouettes like the original, though.

That is wonderful.

I don't think either are involved either. In fact, I'd be disappointed in the end if they were. Just seems too easy and lazy.

where we left off in 1995 was Rust being the one obsessed with the idea that it's continuing IIRC. And Woody did the ol 'for a while things got back to normal' when it jumped to 2002. I I like the theory that he's around because he's still looking for the killer, but on his own, locked in a psychological thing in his head with his demons.

I'm pretty sure Rust thought it was over in 1995. Wasn't until that prisoner brought up the Yellow King in 2002 that he thought there was more going on.

I don't think that anything Marty has done is necessarily inconsistent with him being the killer. Intimidating that biker guy could just be him playing a part, after all.

I like the idea that the father-in-law is the killer. Actually, I wonder if they'd have the nerve to leave the mystery unsolved.

In other news, for anyone out there that reads Michael Connelly's mystery novels, Amazon has a pilot for a show called "Bosch", starring Titus Welliver. I enjoyed it, but I'm a fan of the books.

With a show like "The Killing" where the whole tag line was "Who Killed Rosie Larsen???!!!" you can't leave it hanging like that. It sells out the audience. This show is way beyond who killed who when and where, and it's so much more about the relationships between the people and the polar opposites of religious dedication and nihilism...which might not be such polar opposites. It doesn't matter if they find the killer to me the way it did in "The Killing." Probably explains why I love this and hated "The Killing."
