For weeks, fans have been analyzing every frame of the True Detective season two intro in the hopes of learning something about the show. Last night, it actually paid off.

You all about that hit show True Detective on HBO, right? They solve crimes. They talk all the time and get on each other's nerves. They meet some weird folks. They're a dog and a rabbitty thing. No, wait…
What's gonna happen on True Detective? Who's the Yellow King? What's Rust been up to all these years? Your guess is as good as mine. If you DO have predictions, I hope you'll share them here, and also check out this great Wired feature breaking down some of the most popular theories.
