Can anyone explain why the production schedule won't allow one director to run the entire season like Season 1? What's different this time around?

Bit of a mistake if it's going to be different directors with their own vision for every single episode. Will it really all gel together?

The "True Detective" magic comes from having a single director with a vision shepherd the entire season. That's ultimately what elevated it above a sea of other great premium cable mysteries. While its fun to play Hollywood casting director with a list of known names, the brand of the series is "visionary/quality" not "$tarf*cker". The brand is much better off going with a single, visionary director (Dominik being a great choice) and a cast of great character actors (Richard Jenkins for example) and relative unknowns rather than having the tail wag the dog by scheduling around Colin Farrell's vacation plans.

There is nothing wrong with casting a star. Just not at the expense of the singular vision.

Looks like that dastardly villain, The Yella King, is up to his old tricks again!

Wonder if the story arc has something to do with Scientology? Would be weird and awkward for Moss…hmmm…

moss – yes. vaughn – yes. farrell – really hope not.

andrew dominik and william friedkin directing would be really great.

Also don't forget Forbes was a standout in a very dark story arc from the Battlestar reboot (and in Razor)

As perfectly summed up by Collider: If this ends up being the cast, the men may have more star power, but the women are more talented.

Is John Carter still in this?
