![]() ![]() ![]() Rust Cohle ( Matthew McConaughey) is unable to let go of the growing suspicion he feels about a larger, deadlier conspiracy surrounding the Dora Lange killing, potentially involving Lee Tuttle’s religious organization, and he stops to visit revival tent preacher Joel Theriot ( Shea Whigam) whom we last saw in episode three, “ The Locked Room.” It’s now 2002 and he’s given up the pulpit for the bottle, but Joel’s got some information that only confirms what Rust already suspects.īefore he started doing the revival meeting thing, Joel used to work for Tuttle’s group where part of his duties were custodial, and one night he accidentally knocked over an ancient volume of letters by the 12th century mystic Teleos de Lorca belonging to a senior minister, only to find images of naked children inside. Chambers‘ 1895 book “ The King In Yellow” a clear reference point in “True Detective” ( and now a surprise best seller), please indulge me for a moment as I chase down a couple other things that I couldn’t shake after this week’s “ Haunted Houses.” So forgive me if I go down a rabbit hole (or two) tying together thematic threads that may not be there. But it does mean that any viewer will watch “ True Detective” so closely that they may be seeing things that aren’t there. Nic Pizzolatto has entertainingly, wickedly and delightfully done what “ Lost” attempted but couldn’t pull off: referencing literary and ideological touchstones that have actual bearing on the narrative and characters of the show.
