There's no obvious connection to The King in Yellow, but given that the murdered girl has left it next to a page headed THE YELLOW KING there's every reason to believe she thinks there is.

While I obviously like the idea of us TV watchers being creatures of a higher dimension (flattery, it will get you somewhere!), in the middle of a show like True Detective, where we’re all just stumbling along, desperate to know what happens next, it seems like we’re something much lower. But there is something of a disconnect between Rust’s previous “life is meaningless and futile and there is nothing after it” harrangues and, oh, also “experience repeats in horror forever and ever,” which sounds an awful lot like hell, even if Rust has the various dimensions sorted so it all “works” scientifically.

I could make sense of it as a statement on his own circumstance: He, Rust, was still in that room with those kids, because he couldn’t ever stop living it. Willa: This is a nice reminder that I don’t really want to read any more interviews with Pizzolatto until this show is done! I found that particular speech of Rust’s so much less compelling than his previous dorm-room-style speeches. Does this add anything to the show for you? I need to think about it some more myself.
