Standalone season, season 2 will be entirely new story/most likely entire new cast

Reddit is saying it's the boat we saw at the end of ep7

I'm not even joking

Anybody notice the color of Maggie's dress, as well as the plate in front of her, when she made the visit to the bar to speak with Cohle?

(I don't have a screenshot handy).

Living in the exact area that this show takes place in I can confirm there are a lot of these types of rural cemeteries around. Often times they are placed next to small churches as well.

I see someone caught the black stars in the picture in Maggie's house. Did you also notice what she wore in her two scenes? When sitting down with Marty, she was wearing a shirt with white stars all over it. It was white embroidery on white, so it wasn't overly obvious. When she walks into the bar, she's wearing a yellow shirt?

Coincidence? I think it's perhaps a sign that while not truly bad, she's not as good as you'd think on the surface. My guess would be Audrey was molested, she knew and she didn't tell Marty.

And put me in the camp that will be very upset if they don't address Audrey's likely child abuse. The five male dolls around the naked female doll and the painting from the mental hospital put it over the top. The rest you could say that she was just likely abused and it's not connected. Those are too big and too specific to be coincidences.

Maybe she just saw a video and Maggie didn't want to report it, or maybe she was molested and Maggie didn't tell Marty - but something happened, and I think there have been enough little clues around Maggie to know she has something to hide.

Also, how about how far Marty and Rust have come as people? Rust developed some people skills, Marty's a little more honest about his crappy life and he's doing online dating. They're still very flawed, but they seem to both be acknowledging and addressing their flaws. Can they overcome them to succeed and survive?

What I see, and I'm assuming everyone is alluding to, are black stars.

Though I know they're not going all supernatural and ending it the same way, I was one of the few who liked the DT ending.
Count me in as one of the few. I was honestly just happy SK finished the story after so many years. Have a feeling the ending to this will leave many unsatisfied as well.

I thought he did make the connection. When Steve said Ted Childress went out to talk to the Fontenot family, WH said "Childress, huh?"

Just wanna say back when HBO started airing teasers/trailers last year it really felt like this was going to be something special. I love that it has exceeded my expectations, which were fairly high.

Nothing to add regarding speculation or analysis. Thread is entertaining, show is GOAT. Only show I have ever watched an episode two or three times before the next episode airs.

When Rust pulls Marty over on the highway and then before they leave to head to the bar he checks his gun, is it because of their fight or because he thinks something crazy might happen like at LaDeuaxs?

Also, the lawnmower doesn't look like he has scars on his face except for maybe his lips. Just looks like he has a beard in both scenes.

Sounds like you need to upgrade to HD. There are clearly visible scars, even in the screenshots that have been posted in this thread.
