Of course, in fairness I have to add the following: I am a man and I like boobs. :)
And those two main characters - Woody and Matthew - make me swoon with their dashing good looks and swagger. I'm just wishing they'd do a behind the scenes - you know they are both stoners and radical to the core, they must be having a blast and I'd like to know what's going on .

Since episode one,
they've had us suspicious of Matthew as the killer. His habits, what he talks about, how he talks about things, how he relates to the world makes him a very viable suspect. But, is it him?
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

It is starting to get very skeery to me. I'm thinking that maybe
Marty does something to the boys his daughter got caught with, and maybe Rust had to help him cover up or something along those lines. I really want to believe that they got The Yellow King, but I am not sure
. It's a great show.

wa

Watch the video and see what you get from it.
I must be dim - I didn't see a video! I'll go look again. I still don't see a video prompt - where am I missing it?

Edit #1: Oh wait! I found an interview with the writer - I like it, and of course, I'm going to find out what I can about the short story collection The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers.

Edit #2: Yeah, now I'm wishing I hadn't. That sounds like a malevolent book of shorts, just reading Wikipedia scared me.

Does anyone else think of the Crimson King when they hear/see/whatever the King in Yellow? I know that they are not near the same thing, but...I can't help it.
I've been wondering, since that is such an old collection (The King in Yellow) if Stephen King has heard about it, or read it, and was inspired in any way by it. Me personally, I am too scared to read it. Read it for me Chuggs, and tell me how it is.

What did ya'll think about this week's episode? Could this get any darker? Sheesh! And I was just shocked, not really by the fact that it happened but
how Maggie seduced Rust and then used it against Marty like that, it was very cruel, not that Marty's a peach, but Rust didn't deserve that
.
So, now we wait and see what they get up to next Sunday.

I know! That was so cold. I understand why she would want to hurt him deep, but she hurt Rust and no, he didn't deserve that. He had always been kind to her. Cold and calculating but totally understandable. She trumped Marty and that's what her goal was.

I'm so curious what their beer together is going to lead to.
