neither cop is the freaking killer. That would be so dumb and they aren't going for dumb. Can we stop discussing that?

Ok, and in regards to the post above, no movie made me feel more of that than The Prestige.

"In another video HBO put out last night, Pizzolatto points out something that previously didn’t occur to me in regards to Cohle requesting beer during his interrogation: drinking during his questioning makes everything he says inadmissible in court.

I'm not sure how you can say making Cohle the current killer is "dumb".

"You could see Cohle as Job crying out to an unhearing God," he explained. "Or you could see him as something else."

"Like what?" I asked.

"Cohle describes the possibility of other dimensions existing, and he says that’s what eternity is," Pizzolatto continued. "He says that if somehow you existed outside of time, you’d be able to see the whole of our dimension as one superstructure with matter superimposed at every position it had ever occupied. He says that the nature of the universe is your consciousness, and it just keeps cycling along the same point in that superstructure: when you die, you’re reborn into yourself again, and you just keep living the same life over and over. He also explains that from a higher mathematical vantage point, our dimension would seem less dimensional. It would look flattened, almost."

Pizzolatto took a bite of his branzino. "Now, think about all the things Cohle is talking about," he said as he finished chewing. "Is he a man railing against an uncaring god? Or is he a character in a TV show railing against his audience? Aren't we the creatures of that higher dimension? The creatures who can see the totality of his world? After all, we get to see all eight episodes of his life. On a flat screen. And we can watch him live that same life over and over again, the exact same way."

Maybe Cohle wants to be considered a suspect. Perhaps he's gathered all this evidence and he knows if he just turns it over it will get disappeared. But if it's collected and catalogued while a search warrant is served on him (by the two black detectives he's cased and thinks are straight) it'll be harder to cover up.

As for Rust, I find it interesting that his nature is both at odds with and empowered by his philosophy. If he is a true pessimist who believes in the futility of human endeavor and the tyranny of unalterable time and destiny then why, after enduring all he has, does he keep pursuing the case? Why fight the bad guys at all? Why bother fighting if you can never stop death, pain and rooms of stolen and exploited children? His philosophy tells him to step aside, but his true self sends him back into the doorway every time.
