TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

[Cole Burns]

Thought last night's True Detective was the best yet, mostly due to Marty feeling like a real person for a change.

I didn't understand what Rust said to Maggie. "It never sat right....you asking me to lie to you about him." Pretty sure that's the exact quote. Or really what he had to be pissed at her about. She used him, but given the circumstances it didn't seem that unreasonable.

[SHOW]

I think maggie is somewhat involved in the cult and rust knows. I believe she slept with rust because she knew it would tear him and marty apart and ultimately lead to a complete disintegration of the investigation.

I also think rust and marty will die in the last episode.

Marty kept dodging Maggie's question about why he came to her out of the blue. Made it seem like Marty thinks it's the last time he'll see her.

Has anyone watched this show Gigolos on Showtime?

Gigolos (Showtime)

Who Is This Now? Nick.

Why Are We Watching Him? He’s getting ready to have sex with a lady who’s engaged his services.

How Did He Get Here? Nick is a male prostitute in Las Vegas, where it’s legal.

What’s the Grossest Thing We See? Jill, the client, browsed through the prostitutes on offer at Nick’s agency and couldn’t settle on one, so she chose four, who are going to take turns having sex with her. (Jill and her husband are in an open marriage, and he knows what she’s going to do, but the daughters she refers to maybe don’t?) Anyway, the guys draw straws to see the order they’re going to take. No one wants to go last, but since someone has to, Nick proposes that they make a gentlemen’s agreement: No “nutting” in Jill. I’ll quote Nick: “I’m not walking into a jizzaster area.”

What Have We Learned? You might not think so when you first meet them, but these professional prostitutes are pure class.

In like the 2nd or 3rd ep, she comes to Rust's apartment and asks him if Marty is on the job, when she suspects he's out philandering. I thought he was referring to that. Like, you asked me to lie and cover up for him so you could continue your illusion of a happy marriage. Then, y'know, bouncy-bouncy later on when she wanted to use him for a different angle to the same problem.

I'm not so sure. She went to that bar in her red dress and let the dude buy her a drink, and couldn't go through with it. She wanted to bang another guy so she could tell Marty so she could exact some form of revenge on him for all the cheating he did on her. I think she even says so much to Marty at the dinner table scene where she finally confronts him.

There's so much speculation on the internet about this show it's crazy. I was reading something, some blog, and it's recapping all the "open" plotlines. The writer says maybe Maggie's mysterious dad is involved. I mean, WTF? Mysterious? That plotline isn't open, it was there to show us that Marty married up, class-wise, but into a family that clearly doesn't approve of him. It informs Marty as a character and foreshadows that things won't be on solid ground, family-wise, for this guy, and we got exactly everything we needed out of that two minutes........Now watch Maggie's dad be the king in yellow.

Maggie is involved? Marty would have to have been living with her and not know that her family was tied to the Tuttle clan up and down the bayou. Probably not.

The thing for me (re: Maggie and her dad) is that something clearly happened to her daughter in the past. There are just too many little nuggets for it to be a nothing. Doesn't mean we'll find anything out, but it has to be a something. In fact, I think there are a lot of those open plot lines that we won't get answers to. And that's OK. The story is about the characters, not the "whodunit" - which has been basically answered for some time now anyway.

I dunno, their eldest daughter just doesnt know all the things she knows unless there is some connection between the daughter, maggie and everything thats going on.

It's clear something happened in the her past to make her as messed up as she is today.

Also, marty was pretty must estranged during all that time up until maggie and the kids left him the first time, so it's absolutely possible for something to be going on.

Yeah, I'm gonna call BS on that. Probably all staged. The only people who hire male hookers are gay men.

Good news if you want The Americans to stay around:

Live+3 Day time-shifted viewing for the Season 2 premiere episode of FX‘s The Americans was significantly higher than that of its series premiere episode and was also the highest Live+3 percentage increase for a second season debut of any FX drama series by a wide margin. Compared to its Live+Same Day delivery, Americans’ second season debut episode vaulted 81% in adults 18-49 (1.57 million, up from 863,000)
