I'm a Yank, but lived in Dublin for a few years, and can still pick up differences in neighborhoods there (the DART accent, the Trinity accent, the accent from inside the North Circular Road). So I shouldn't be surprised. I just haven't been around enough people from Ulster to pick up on some of the nuances (although…

Can you tell much of a difference between Derry and Belfast?

I vaguely remember these, and remember them being too syrupy and just a little tingly on my tongue, a sensation that I've only ever otherwise experienced with buttermilk pancake batter, 9-volt batteries and foodstuff that was spoiling.

Depends on if you see a use for him or not. Marty's definitely better at navigating departmental bullshit than Rust.

Well, if there were at least two men there, and if one of them was significantly larger than the other, I'd guess that one's the giant.

Which "he" are you referring to? If it's Rust, it's not clear that he's hanging out with anyone taking the kids. He's just living low. If it's Marty and you're referring to the police who seem to be at least actively ignoring what's going on (or possibly part of it, what with Sheriff Childress and Guard Childress),…

McConaughey's 6'0 and Tuttle towers over him. Either could be the giant, true (and that's one of the things I love about the show). But put scruffy Ledoux in his gross towel next to well-fed Tuttle, and who's bigger?

Two possibilities:

Look at Rust next to Tuttle — Rust comes up to his shoulder. And when Tuttle swept into the police department, he towered over everyone. Ledoux and Dewall are both big, but they don't tower over Rust like Tuttle does. But the fact that they're both big makes the whole thing a fun double-bluff.

I think we'll get a few suspects, but I don't doubt the random creeps and assholes thing. I'm not quite on board with this show ending up being somehow supernatural because it draws on Chambers and Lovecraft. Rather, it seems like it's using that horror rhetoric to show how frightening random creeps and assholes can…

That's one of the great things about that scene — it's so indeterminate.

Here's some more pointless theorizing:

Give it time.

Ah — that's why it feels so textured.

I tried to watch TWD after seeing that True Detective episode, and it just ain't cuttin' it. So I came here.

The biggest difference between the season 2 mess and the season 3 mess is season 2 didn't seem to pretend like it was making any grand sociological proclamations. Season 3 feels like it's trying to lean in that direction most of the time, but its own fabulousness and fixation on the sexy sexiness of sexy sex get in…

The Simpsons was the first thing I thought of — it's a fake name Bart uses. But it doesn't have any particular link to the show.

So where does ort come from? I'm told it's a "messy declension of ortus — birth/origin/source."
