grobbo posted:John Hawkes has an interesting interview with GQ where he states that The "think! think!" part comes as hank is telling him to help move the body. I took the "think" to mean "your father killed this guy in cold blood in front of me, helping him would mean siding with the mine and having to kill me" Dude is about to commit suicide by cop, he's not trying to solve the case, just minimize his own guild. Like, there are many legit problems with this season. The Navarro ice cracking scene was pretty bad. But at some point people are just finding things to nitpick.

I've been reasonably sure what they're going to find down there for awhile, and last night basically confirmed it for me. I'll spoiler tag it just in case, but this is just speculation. Annie discovered either bones, cave paintings, or other cultural artifacts that would turn the area into a protected cultural heritage site. This would stop the mine from being able to dig in the region, so she was killed to keep this silent. The reason they don't want Danvers to see the caves is because it would mean people would learn about the heritage site and it would gently caress the mine. Annie was killed by that random named miner who we keep seeing shots of. It will never be provable that he was given orders to do this. None of this will be related to what happened at the lab, which will remain a mystery. No supernatural elements will be part of the conclusion beyond the vague sense that Annie's ghost helped push the detectives forward.

sethsez posted:The mine sent a guy to kill the person who would lead them through the caves, so something is clearly there and the mine knows that the cops know. The clock is ticking on how long they have before the evidence down there is irretrievable and/or someone comes after them instead. Gotta agree to disagree here. The show has in no way conveyed the idea that the mine is capable of suddenly reaching or sabotaging whatever's in the caves, or that they have additional forces at their disposal and ready to act. In fact, prioritising Navarro's plan and waiting until the bodies are discovered (rather than leaving a grieving and perhaps unreliable Peter alone to deal with it) theoretically puts our heroes in a far stronger position to advance the investigation, since suddenly there's irrefutable evidence that a corrupt cop shot the Ice Caves witness.* *although why Navarro thinks that the body of Otis, shot with Danvers' gun in Hank's car, along with a missing Hank isn't going to just look like Danvers killed them both is completely beyond me.

Danvers's direct boss is working with the mine and has already threatened to take her down on Wheeler's murder. Both of them have days of being cops left before they lose their jobs and maybe their freedom. They have to solve it now or never. If they can gently caress the mine hard enough, it might hurt the company's leverage enough that they make it through unscathed.

He put Danver's gun behind his back, and then drew the gun from his holster on the right hand side. In an episode where they've just shown that the mine had been bribing the water results despite 9 deaths, blew up the entrance to the caves, and had the higher up chief of police essentially blackmail her to let the death of Annie go, and even sent her direct subordinate to just straight up murder a witness. Like, it's not the best season, and has some glaring holes. But if youre going to nitpick, at least make sure not to make glaring errors such as confusing which weapon he was using.

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:The town seems to be entirely elastic to accommodate the plot. It's been kind of fun keeping a running tally of services available. This makes more sense when you know more about the economics of lots of places like this and how it fits with medical billing. Realistically they definitely would've airlifted the living Tsalal guy to Anchorage/Fairbanks but depending on how well the mine pays the people that work there, most of the townspeople are gonna be at or below the poverty line meaning most are on Medicare/Medicaid or without insurance. No dentist is gonna set up a practice in that kind of area given their business model.

Poor Otis. My man just wanted to get high in peace. Did Danvers pull a Cohle and replace the heroin she stole from evidence with another brown powder? I missed if they showed that.

I hate the way this show looks, I think it's the lighting? Every interior scene is lit exactly the same regardless of what light sources are or aren't present and it makes everything look flat like a fake show people watch in a real show or something.

Yeah it’s the lighting. All modern tv is lit like that now and it’s awful. A lot of the time it’s digital lighting. So they have it lit one way on set and then digitally alter it in post.

And as for having the ability to sabotage the caves, they're a mining company and they already sealed the entrance. Danvers and Navarro have no reason not to assume their time is limited.

Danver’s “ask the question” bit is getting pretty stale. I thought last nights eppie was insanely boring until the last 10 or so minutes, but the ending made it worthwhile.

The threads ability to pay attention is getting more and more embarrassing. I know its way more fun for you to post about if Danver's daughter was like 25 banging a 15yo but that's not the case. She's 17 and her (ex) gf is 16. The eagerness for there to be a pedo to be outraged over is getting tiresome.

I think lighting matters a lot for horror and the way they lit the show ruins whatever supernatural ghost stuff they want to do. It's washed out in normal scenes and during dramatic scenes they're either shooting day for night, have the lights too low, or the lights are too far away. The camera angles are all off too. They shot the ghost from a higher angle which diminishes any intimidation it might have.

She's supposed to be 17 so it's fine, I think they just wrote the scene in the first episode kind of poorly because it was slightly confusing and could have sounded like the other mother was pissed because she was much older than her daughter which wasn't actually the case.

Her utter self-assurance that She is Right and that nothing bad will happen seems pretty teen-like. Zero thought that maybe the person who is investigating the murder of an activist indigenous woman might be worried that her step daughter is becoming more of an activist for reasons that aren't "she thinks the mine is good, actually". Of course Danvers doesn't exactly help the situation either.

She's incredibly stupid, mean to her mother, zealous about some political issue, and having stupid sex. All things that point direclty at teenager.
