Continuity mistake: In the overhead shot of Rust and Marty driving to the Dora Lange crime scene, the cornfields show no signs of being burned. Based on the amount of fire shown in the episode's opening scene, that should be very visible.

Detective Rust Cohle: Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you get good at.
Question: Was wondering why no explanation is ever given as to how and why Rust's weird ass, very detailed philosophy of space and time - with the crushed metal time disc and rotational electrical souls going around it forever etc. etc. - somehow is the exact same thing, right down to specific details, that at least three of the freaks, throughout this series, espouse. The underling freaks may espouse it because the main freak believes it - but we see Rust just arriving at it in his own mind.
