This ‘True Detective’ Finale Teaser Is a Guaranteed Recipe for a Great Week
True Detective will conclude its first eight-episode arc in just six days. It’s supposed to be the last we’ll ever see of Rust Cohle and Marty Hart, and our final chance at getting a semblance of an idea about who and what the Yellow King and Carcosa are. But for now, we’ve got this heart-hammering teaser to watch over and over and over again. (Plus Molly’s latest piece. Don’t sleep.)
Go ahead and throw yourself into that big Oscar selfie.

Oh, the Razzies happened.
And Coldplay released another new song (not Bon Iver–y like the first one, but still something of a surprise) and announced that the band’s sixth album, Ghost Stories, is coming May 19.
