TE DETECTIVE DIRECTOR DEBUNKS A POPULAR NEW SEASON 3 THEORYDANIEL SACKHEIM CLEARS UP A FEW THGS.BY JOANNA ROBSONFEBARY 17, 2019BY WARRICK PAGE / HBOSAVE THIS STORYSAVESAVE THIS STORYSAVEAS WE HEAD TO THE HOMTRETCH OF TE DETECTIVE SEASON 3, DIRECTOR DANIEL SACKHEIM JOS VANY FAIR’S STILL WATCHG PODST TO REFLECT ON THE SEASON’S MANY TWISTS AND TURNS. A VETERAN OF MASSIVE H SHOWS LIKE THE X-FIL, THE WALKG DEAD, AND GAME OF THRON, SACKHEIM TOOK OVER SOME DIRECTG DUTI AFTER JEREMY SLNIER—WHO WAS ORIGALLY SUPPOSED TO HELM THE WHOLE SEASON—LEFT THE PROJECT. ALL TOLD, SACKHEIM DIRECTED FOUR OUT OF THE EIGHT EPISOS, CLUDG THIS WEEK’S EPISO, “THE FAL COUNTRY,” AND NEXT WEEK’S FALE, “NOW AM FOUND.” THE ENTIRETY OF SACKHEIM’S TERVIEW WILL BE AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD AFTER EPISO 7 AIRS, BUT ADVANCE OF TONIGHT’S STALLMENT, THE DIRECTOR IS HERE TO CLEAR UP A H BUT ACCURATE THEORY. IN EPISO 6, TE DETECTIVE REVEALED THAT SOT MCNAIRY’S CHARACTER, TOM PURCELL, WAS A CLOSETED HOMOSEXUAL WHO LEANED HARD ON THE CHURCH ORR TO TRY TO STIFLE SIR THAT WOULD HAVE MA LIFE RAL 1980S AND 90S ARKANSAS DIFFICULT. WHAT DO THIS NEW RMATN MEAN ABOUT TOM’S CLOSE RELATNSHIP WH STEPHEN DORFF’S DETECTIVE ROLAND WT? NOT WHAT SOME MAY THK.FANS EAGER TO FD CLU ANY GIVEN RNER OF THE MYSTER HBO SERI WONRED IF ROLAND’S ABILY TO SETTLE DOWN WH POULTRY SCIENTIST LORI (JODI BALFOUR) MEANT THAT HIS STRONG ATTACHMENT TO TOM WAS MORE THAN PLATONIC. THE FACT THAT HIS PARTNER, WAYNE HAYS (MAHERSHALA ALI), IS VOLLY NSERVATIVE, AS WELL AS ROLAND’S FENSIVENS AROUND WILL AND JULIE’S DAD, LED SOME TO NCLU THAT ROLAND WAS HIDG A KEY ASPECT OF HIMSELF OM HIS IEND/FELLOW TECTIVE. “ROLAND WAS NEVER ABLE TO SUCCSFULLY HAVE A LONG-TERM RELATNSHIP WH A WOMAN,” SACKHEIM NCES. “THAT, SENCE, IS THE ROLE THAT TOM FULFILLS. I THK THAT’S HIS LOVE AFFAIR.” BUT SACKHEIM FURTHER EXPLAS THAT THIS DON’T MEAN THE TWO ARE ROMANTILLY LKED.“I FEEL PRETTY FORTABLE SAYG THAT NJECTURE THAT’S OUT THERE DON’T HOLD ANY WATER,” SACKHEIM SAYS. “THEY HAVE A CLOSE RELATNSHIP AND THAT NTU TO PLAY OUT FOR THE RT OF THE SEASON. NOT ANY WAY IS A ROMANTIC RELATNSHIP.” SERI CREATOR NIC PIZZOLATTO RROBORATED SACKHEIM’S MENTS AN INSTAGRAM POST OVER THE WEEKEND, RPONDG WH A SIMPLE “NO” TO A MENT READG: “ROLAND’S GAY !!!” IN THE SAME POST, PIZZOLATTO ALSO CLEARED UP ANY QUTNS AROUND THE SEXUALY OF HARRIS JAM (STT SHEPHERD), WHO LEERGLY PLIMENTED WAYNE ON HIS BODY EPISO 6: “HARRIS IS NOT GAY. HE WAS MSG WH WAYNE (EFFECTIVELY) BEE WAYNE WAS MSG WH HIM.”AS STILL WATCHG -HOST RICHARD LAWSON POTED OUT ON THE PODST LAST WEEK, SEXUALY AS “PLOT TWIST” IS NOT EXACTLY A GOOD LOOK FOR A TV SERI 2019, SO WE’RE RELIEVED TO REPORT THAT TE DETECTIVE ISN’T PEPPERED WH SECRET GAY CHARACTERS. BUT SACKHEIM POTS OUT THAT TOM AND ROLAND’S NNECTN IS STILL CREDIBLY IMPORTANT. “THAT NNECTN TO TOM IS A PORT BY WHICH WE VIEW ROLAND’S HUMANY,” HE EXPLAS. “IT’S NOT SOMETHG WE GET A CHANCE TO SEE A LOT. [ROLAND’S] A CYNIL GUY BY NATURE. AS THE STORY PROGRS, HE BE MORE AND MORE CYNIL.”WE’LL SEE ROLAND’S CYNICISM POTENTIALLY REACH A BOILG POT THE FAL TWO EPISOS OF TE DETECTIVE. TUNE TO STILL WATCHG: TE DETECTIVE” AFTER EPISO 7 FOR MORE DISCSN OF THE EPISO AND SIGHTS OM SACKHEIM ON WHAT TO EXPECT OM THE FALE.MOST POPULARRILEY KEOUGH ON GROWG UP PRLEY, LOSG LISA MARIE, AND INHERG GRACELANDBY BRT HENNEMUTHBILL MAHER BEEFS WH “PREACHY, MAN-HATG” BARBIE MOVIEBY SAVANNAH WALSHSOUND OF FREEDOM: THE WILD TE STORY BEHD 2023’S MOST CONTROVERSIAL FILMBY EVE BATEYJOANNA ROBSON

In Episo 6, Te Detective revealed that Sot McNairy’s character, Tom Purcell, was a closeted homosexual who leaned hard on the church orr to try to stifle sir that would have ma life ral 1980s and 90s Arkansas difficult. ” Seri creator Nic Pizzolatto rroborated Sackheim’s ments an Instagram post over the weekend, rpondg wh a simple “No” to a ment readg: “Roland’s Gay!!! ” In the same post, Pizzolatto also cleared up any qutns around the sexualy of Harris Jam (Stt Shepherd), who leergly plimented Wayne on his body Episo 6: “Harris is not gay.

”As Still Watchg -host Richard Lawson poted out on the podst last week, sexualy as “plot twist” is not exactly a good look for a TV seri 2019, so we’re relieved to report that Te Detective isn’t peppered wh secret gay characters. Homosexualy is legal, although a vaguely-word 2013 law prohibs the promotn of ‘non-tradnal’ relatnships.

As such, gay travellers are advised agast overt displays of their sexualy.

MAYBE MAGIC, MAYBE MUNDANE: WAYNE'S DOCTOR IS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE HIS MEMORY LOSS AS EHER MENTIA OR ALZHEIMER'S. AS TAILED THE TIME TRAVEL EXAMPLE BELOW, HIS PAST SELV SEEM TO HAVE AN EFFECT ON FUTURE PHENOMENA, AND HIS LAST NVERSATN WH THE HALLUCATORY AMELIA ALLOWS HIM TO PUT TOGETHER JULIE PURCELL'S TE FATE.

HE IS CLEARLY NOT THIS TO AMELIA OR HIS CHILDREN, BUT HE HAS NO QUALMS ABOUT THREATHENG PEOPLE HE'S TERROGATG WH EXPLIC SCRIPTNS OF PRISON RAPE OR BEATG RMATN OUT OF PEOPLE IF NECSARY. STTERBRAED SENR: BY 2015 HE'S SUFFERG OM MEMORY PROBLEMS HIS OLD AGE, FETTG ANSWERS HE JT HEARD, TAILS OF HIS LIFE, AND SUDNLY REALISG HE DON'T KNOW WHY HE'S A PLACE OR HOW HE GOT THERE.

IN 1990 AND 2015, HE'S STILL OBSSED WH . TIME TRAVEL: IN 2015 HAYS PH A DOOR HIS HOME OPEN WHILE SEARCHG FOR HIS FAY A MENTIA-ED PANIC. IN 1990 HAYS SE THE DOOR PH OPEN THE EXACT SAME WAY WH NO APPARENT E, WHILE 2015 HAYS HALLUCAT THE SCENE OM 1990. TSUNRE: A RARE MALE EXAMPLE.

HE IS NOTABLY NERVO ABOUT HEADG TO THE TUNNEL WHERE HE FDS WILL PURCELL'S BODY, AND MAK REFERENCE TO SOME "TUNNEL WORK" HE DID THE WAR AS THE REASON FOR WHY HE WAS APPREHENSIVE ABOUT GOG SI. A LATER EPISO ALSO SE HIM HALLUCATG SEVERAL VIETNG SOLDIERS HOVERG OVER HIS SHOULR. BUT HE LATER ADMS THAT OM HIS POT OF VIEW, THE PURCELL SE ULTIMATELY LEFT A BIGGER EMOTNAL SR ON HIM THAN THE WAR EVER DID. WELL-INTENTNED EXTREMIST: HE ABDUCTED POTENTIAL CHILD MURRERS.

AMBIGUOLY BI: WHILE HE IS CLEARLY ATTRACTED TO WOMEN, HE BE VERY CLOSE TO THE CLOSETED GAY TOM AND FENDS HIM PASSNATELY AND OPEN-MDLY TO ROLAND WHEN HIS SEXUALY IS REVEALED. ANIMAL MOTIFS: DOGS, AS BOTH HIS BT AND WORST TRAS MATCH UP THEM. HE'S FIRECELY LOYAL, IENDLY, AND PLAYFUL, BUT N ALSO BE AGGRSIVE, VLENT, AND SUBSERVIENT. HE'S ONLY SUCCSFUL WHEN SOMEONE ELSE IS AT THE OTHER END OF HIS LEASH, WHETHER THAT'S THE PD BOSS OR HIS PARTNER WAYNE, AND HE VERY MUCH LOOKS UP TO WAYNE AS NOT ONLY A LLEAGUE BUT A PANN. WHEN WAYNE ELECTS NOT TO BE HIS PARTNER ANYMORE, ORR TO AVOID SUBMTG TO THE BOSS WHO ARE TRYG TO HAVE HIM BURN DOWN AMELIA'S EXPOSE, ROLAND IS ABSOLUTELY HEARTBROKEN, STARTS A FIGHT A BAR, AND BREAKS DOWN CRYG OUTSI AFTERWARDS.

ROLAND, ON THE OTHER HAND, WANTS ABSOLUTELY NOTHG TO DO WH THE SE FOLLOWG THE TIME SKIP, EVEN GETTG MAD AT HAYS WHEN HE BRGS UP.
