    True Detective's Rust Cohle tries, and is tried by, internet dating.

    NAME: Rustin Spencer Cohle
    AGE: Late 40s.
    OCCUPATION: Detective (ret.); barfly; nihilist.
    HEIGHT: 6".
    WEIGHT: Depends on what they're charging for pickled eggs down at the Bootstrap, but usually about 175.
    LOCATION: Louisiana. Or Texas, sometimes, or Tender Willow Hospital if I ain't slept in a few weeks. Or that second barstool there, under the Sons of Jim Bowie banner.
    EDUCATION: Bachelor's from UT; every new-age bookstore between here and Tunica.
    SEEKING: A woman. If you're married to my partner, so much the better.
    FOR: The extremely limited emotional connection my substance abuse, continuing pathological grief, and opaque bloviating on the nature of death will allow. I may also "mow your lawn" from time to time. I'm on the record as not believing man can love, and therefore assume no responsibility should you choose to get involved with me.
    ABOUT ME: I have great cheekbones, surprisingly good moves on the dance floor, and a truckload of baggage thanks to my divorce, the death of my child, and probably some undiagnosed neural-network problems. I'm smarter than most people -- just ask me! -- and never met a yes-or-no question I couldn't meet with a four-paragraph tone poem about your naive fantasies of individuation and the afterlife. …Well, just because you read Jünger doesn't mean you understood it.
    ABOUT YOU: You're patient, attracted to broken things, and able to suppress giggles when I ramble on humorlessly about synasthesia and ontological fallacies. You don't have much use for furniture or combs.
    IN RELATIONSHIPS, I... Can't really function.
    ON OUR FIRST DATE, WE'D... Go on a sllllllooooww walk down to the corner to pick up more Camel Lights and Lone Stars, then stay up all night talking. I'd stay up all night talking, anyway. You'd probably pass out with the beer-can angel I made for you clutched in your tiny, doomed hand, not knowing that your sleep approximates the grave to which we've all consigned ourselves long before the death of the physical b-- "400 character limit"? You see? This is exactly the kind of arbitrary and ultimately ineffectual parameter that the incurious ascribe to fate, but, fine: Dinner. Bergman. Futility.
    CONTACT ME IF... All is vanity.

    I'll say. Shirtless guy roaming around a dump site in his underwear and a gas mask on.
    Wonder if that is the Ledoux guy or someone entirely different?
    5 episodes left.

    From the previews, it looks like there may be some kind gang or group involved in these murders.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    its got me hooked for sure. Love that Nuckys brother from Boardwalk Empire, plays the preacher. Have a feeling he might be involved, somehow.

    I have this weird feeling that Woody' character is the one who has gone off the deep end, but the investigators think that it is Russ. (I guess some would say that Russ had already gone off the deep end - but I find him to be quite sane and self aware). Really enjoy this show - can't believe we have to wait two weeks to see the next one.

    Dr. Delight - the only thing I can pick out of the picture, is that the guy 2nd from the right in the back row is flipping off the camera. Am I missing something else? You have me intrigued.

    It's good to see something where McConnaghay isn't all smiles and walking around with his shirt off. I like his character. And both of Woody's women are hott! The wife is just as hot as his mistress.

    Yeah, I saw that too. That pic was posted on the TD facebook page. I'm guessing one of them is supposed to be 'The Monster', although I think it may be the guy that was mowing the lawns of the abandoned school.

    Also, whats up with the drawings of Harts young daughter???
