    that would really disappoint me, it would also remind me too much of the usual suspects in a way.

     

    its crazy that the cops seem to not know anything about this period of time when rus went back undercover with these bikers to get this dude. obviously they should be looking back at this case, because there must be a lot of holes in the case, at least on paper.

     

    if rus and martin are kind of opposites in the way they present themselves to the world, could you say the church and the satanists are a kind of mirror of their relationship? i feel like the tuttle people have to play a bigger role as the season goes on

    what makes this so so pathetic and contemporary is these idiots arent just doing this for their peers, we've all felt peer pressure in some form, but these fucking idiots are literally drinking themselves to death for LIKES on social media. viral as the AIDS virus, you goddamn fools

    i agree with all that

     

    one thing i think about. all these characters seem to be grappling with their own definition of morality, and the show seems to give everybody a pretty fair chance to fuck up / to defend their view of themselves and the world. i wonder if they will afford reggie leadeux the same courtesy? we've seen rus, martin, the church, prostitutes, all be simultaneously good and bad people. the shot at the end of ep 3 was so fucking evil, that was awesome. but if they stay true to the show so far, they've got to complicate leadeux, too.

    not to mention Tuttle, who as a godly man is Good in the most biblical sense, but who has been incidentally connected at almost every turn to these murders. the whole show seems to turn on the hypocrisy and difficulty of attempting to define and enforce morality in an immoral, human world.

    @Premium, that's a good observation. I like Rust's character alot more than Martin, there is so many levels and something is definately up..

     

    I kinda disagree. Rus is Supposed to be more interesting than family man Martin, but what became really clear in ep 4 is that they are strangely inverted versions of one another. you are supposed to think rus is this weirdo and martin is a straight laced company man. but rus' drinking and drug addiction were all in the service of working undercover, aka they served a purpose that was ultimately good. martin is an outwardly good man, but his drinking and recklessness are actually fucking his life up and are totally irresponsible and selfish. episode 4 really inverted their relationship in a lot of ways. curious that in present day, neither are cops and both have returned to what could be called their "covers" - rus his drinking, martin his "a man needs a family" bullshit

    ep 4 was entertaining, but it was definitely a departure from the tone of the first 3 episodes. i was really into how tense and Busy scenes of sparse dialogue could feel in the first 3 episodes, credit to the writing and directing. this episode was fucking Action all the way.

     

    one thing i noticed - rus likes to drink, but it also seems like drinking is a part of his cover, an aspect of his undercover identity. so the fact that he is drinking during the present day interview, from the flask that was hidden in that drawer with all the guns, perhaps implies there is still some large truth or reality he is hiding from. his whole "work in a bar 4 days a week, drink when im off. I know who I am" thing is bullshit.
