4pointline. ADMIN MOD. Molly Lambert's Cryptic Tweets About the Final Grantland Days. She was always one of my favorite writers on Grantland! I would love to hear an oral history of how everything truly ended at Grantland, i.e., not just the Bill Simmons suspension. Always thought it seemed like his Bill took his inner clique to The Ringer.
by Tess Lynch. Or at least I tried to go there, twice. I stood in line for 15 minutes yesterday morning and then, figuring naively that evening would be less crowded at a place where only coffee was being served (for free, I might add), for an hour and a half before the joint closed down at 5:30 p.m. I still think this counts as having gone ...

Andy Greenwald: On True Detective there were essentially only two characters, at least only two characters who mattered: Marty Hart and Rust Cohle. (Poor Gilbough couldn’t even get a cup of coffee in the finale!) Over the last eight weeks, it became clear that there were also only two types of viewers of True Detective. I outed myself early as a cl...
Mark Lisanti: What did we want out of this finale? And what did we get? We wanted our detectives to lay down their lives for the case that had already claimed them, to be finally consumed by the darkness they were chasing, the debt they were trying to repay, the contracts that closed off the possibility of a second season. But we got another crazy ...
Molly Lambert: Nobody expects the Death Becomes Her ending! (Seriously, nobody expected the Death Becomes Herending.) Our (anti)heroes, chained to one another for eternity, caught in a perpetual loop of adjusting each other’s copious towheaded wigs. What should Woody and Matthew do to top this? I think Matthew has proven via Rust’s walrus mustache ...
Emily Yoshida: In these first hours of processing since the credits rolled on “Form and Void,” I’ve read multiple interpretations from people who seem to think Marty got his wife and family “back.” I think that’s a bit of a stretch — that Maggie hand hold was more of a “Hey, we’ve had our differences but I’m glad you’re not dead” moment than a “I’m...
Tess Lynch: Still processing. Spinning Apple rainbow spiral. But what about … and how could they just … and, no, it was great … and wait that’s Ann Dowd? Here, take this True Detective Finale Pinterest: 1. Scented meat for Marty, sentient meatfor Rust. 2. Ominous number of air fresheners. 3. Woody Harrelson, master of crying. 4. Make your own McCon...
John Lopez: So we come away (not surprisingly) with absolutely no idea who or what the Yellow King was aside from a nifty allusion to obscure 19th-century genre fiction tailor-made for the Internet age. Though I guess Carcosa is just really the world’s biggest/creepiest folk art installation. However, that’s not to say there weren’t some big revela...

By Tess Lynch “It’s hard to be a person who enjoys reality television. Not only do you have to struggle with the stigma of being the kind of piggy media-vacuum that sucks up big tumbleweeds of TV-watching every day, but you must at some point acknowledge your involvement in creating celebrities out of people who are (or — more likely ...
