I like your thoughts in the beginning Jordan, but I think Rust also explained the why before. He believes we're on a predetermined path, that we've already been doing this for God knows how long and we'll continue the loop forever. Time's a flat circle and the circle can't be broken because it's already been made. So we're predestined or doomed as he might say to do the actions we do. Sitting at home and drinking his life away would break the circle. Therefore he can't do so. His path was always the path no one else would take. I think I'm explaining that right lol As for the episode, That's why I love Michelle Monaghan. DAMN. Everyone in this show is grey area at best. I love how it perfectly showcases what we're capable of under the right circumstances with the right amount of push. Also liked the small touch of seeing that Rust never bothered to get his truck light fixed. He's a "broken" man

I really like that idea. 😀

This is ramping up! I'm excited to watch the ending episodes again as I didn't retain much of what happened the first watch. Thanks for the cool videos.

2026-10-26 11:00 Rust mentioned he is also tortured and a coward- his words- for not walking off the mortal coil. And I believe he does have a thread of wanting to do justice which keeps part of him going. Also I love how there are no wasted scenes, from regretting slapping his daughter, then we understand he wants to punish the men but the scene after his sick and uneasy feelings of beating on them lead directly to the next slippage of the bar and so on. So well written. If you didn’t notice the man with the white hair and mean face in the office was the state trooper from back in the day with the Tutle first appearance. Rust is at one of his lowest points and drinking heavily such bad timing and for him.

There's so much to take in, I imagine you'd catch a whole lot more on the second watch through.

Agreed! The writers do a brilliant job of showing us how complex these characters are - no one is just bad or just good. And we didn't catch the trooper!

I've seen lot of reactions to this show, and I always find it strange when people get shocked and offended when Rust suggest suicide to the woman that has killed 3 of her infant children on purpose.

I think it's just surprising that he would suggest it, as it's something a detective would usually not say... Even for him it seemed pretty extreme. Like normally he'd think it, or even tell his partner that idea, but not the person.
