Robobot posted:As a thread, I think we should leave a rock with a swirl drawn on it to warn passerby posters away from falling into the disagreement. lmao counterfeitsaint posted:Petey knows why is marriage is falling apart and says as much, she resents him because they got pregnant and married too young. All the work stuff is just a convenient excuse to lash out. Most of this could have been avoided with a throwaway line from him saying something like "This is a really big case and things will calm back down again soon" as an attempted defense. I don't think he bothered because he knew that wasn't really the issue anyways. I mean I think it's important that this isn't really conveyed as Pete being especially driven by the case itself, but more by his relationship to Danvers as his boss/mother/(wife?) figure. He's getting called away by her and what she wants which is how it's framed in conversations with his wife and father, it's not "can you quit this case", it's "can you stop jumping whenever she snaps her fingers". And it also seems depicted that what Danvers is asking him to do is excessive and may be more exaggerated by her.

I liked this episode a lot. I've really come to like Danvers as a character and her relationship with Prior is great. I really felt she would have let Hank shoot her if it meant he didn't have to kill his own dad. Danvers is such a mess with all of her relationships, but it always stems from her caring about them and handling it badly. I AM GRANDO posted:How many times has that redhead with the two missing fingers shown up? Once in the first episode (wife of the abuser guy Navarro arrests), again in the second (says something about nobody knowing what happens at the research station? I don’t remember), and now at the laundromat in this episode (walks in right after Qaavik and the camera follows her briefly)? Someone on reddit aaaallll the way back in episode 2 pointed out that the hand-print they lifted from the clothes is missing the same fingers that the redhead is: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=ht...31dff3b31aa3b04 And in the drawing of the spooky lady with the cut-off fingers, shes also missing the same two fingers: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=ht...b83184a904f395c Given the events of the episode, I'm not sure if this could be leading to anything or just be a red herring. Perhaps some native vigilante group took out the scientists? Nephthys fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Feb 13, 2024 |

I don't know why people keep suggesting a sexual relationship though. Is it just cause she likes to gently caress? There's never been anything even hinting at sexual tension between the two. Pete might be the only guy she's not going after.

I would assume its just the machine that process the ashes after being burnt. Seems inconvenient if you need to grind them up again before putting them in an urn, but cremation hardware seems very serious machinery.

Burning the body leaves bone fragments, etc behind. So you put the sort of coarse remains you see in the beginning along with those balls in the tumbler like device so that those balls crush the fragments and pieces into the ash you see in the urns.

Something along the lines of “that actor is too big a name to be on this show for 30 seconds”. ghouldaddy07 posted:I think that goon actually went to IMDB and checked the cast episode ahead of time and decided to spoil the thread if I remember correctly. Doltos posted:Yeah I don't remember the actor from anything other than Boardwalk Empire I don't think he was that significant in that either. I recognized the actor from Boardwalk Empire, where he had been in 9 episodes. I didn't think HBO would cast him just to be in one scene on a lawnmower for 30 seconds after coming off a much larger role in Boardwalk. I did not check IMDB for the cast episode ahead of time or anything like that. I had a hunch, shared it, and it turned out to be right. And it has lived on in TVIV infamy ever since.

Navarro being a rageaholic and doing bad policework from it is an intriguing character trait but then they kind of take the wind out of her sails by giving her legitimate things to be mad about while being way more interested in helping people than Danvers is.

I have it on good authority that this showrunner is actually talented and has shown to be able to form a creative True Detective type story. I haven’t seen this movie (it has Tiger in the title) but from the interviews I read prior to the season it seems kind of clear studio stepped in and made this into a fan service, Easter eggy, phoned in piece of poo poo. So the showrunners stance on current hot button social issues (right where youre currently thinking is correct) in her personal life, so there is no shot that the native women are up to anything like baby killing or smart guy killing. They’re will be a big injustice uncovered against the native population, specifically the females, and no consequences will come of it — because *thats just like, life.* I’m sure it has been touched on but shoehorning in Rusts Dad and Tuddle had to be forced in for the fans. The whole Dad debacle aside. Prior gets all uppity about those files in ep 2 or 3 and oh wow they show Tuddle in the header. Initially I felt sorry for Prior but the man is a police officer who was a Google search away from ending this drat season. This is just an outpost in Alaska where really bad officers get shipped off to, and the town doesn’t seem to give two fucks about this situation and seemingly has a good idea of what is going on. Ok and sorry I want to stop but I can’t… if you expect me to widdle a crooked, specific looking spiral into a rock for a few days then your outta luck pal but guess what, by not **using a loving rock to warn of thin ice** maybe saved them anyways. Double lol for the man at the camp not telling her, “Hey those stones are serious warnings and you will die” but after thinking on it, homie likely assumed that this bitch grew up here and was apart of this community, she played out in the sea as a kid, he was probably asking himself why the gently caress is this girl, our police, asking me this? And was genuinely just stunned, he wasn’t withholding info at all!

Some other goon made a prediction a few days ago and the more I think about it, the more I think they're probably right; the cave is full of ancient native artifacts and cave paintings and poo poo. The mine knows if anyone finds out, it will become a protected site and shut down their operation. They killed Annie to cover it up. The deaths and bad water are just normal mine stuff. It's gonna be a LOST situation where everything else is just a big shrug. You can assume its a ghost or native mysticism or something if you want I guess, but that's as many dots as the show is going to connect for you.

I think the show will go this way -- if only because the main influence it's ripping off also went that way -- but I remember L O S T being quite unambiguous about the existence of the supernatural.

Open Source Idiom posted:but I remember L O S T being quite unambiguous about the existence of the supernatural. Yeah it really did not hide that there was some supernatural and religious poo poo going on towards the end of the series. Most of the supernatural stuff in this season can be attributed to hallucinations and mental illness I think. Except that whole Travis thing, I guess he's straight up a ghost.

You can't just stay in an unheated shed in the middle of sub freezing temperatures with no gear without freezing to death.

Looking forward to the last episode. The ending is still so wide open and I hope its doozy. The thread should also be entertaining no matter the quality of the episode. th3t00t posted:
The shed you might personally have in your backyard and a shed in alaska are probably built much differently on average. I don't know what you could hope to store in a shed in sub zero temps that was built the same as your lawnmower shed in florida. I get the TV isn't explaining this important nuance but  .

It does really seem like the dude could find a motel to stay in that has better accommodations than that. EDIT: And before you guys jump down my throat, we already know the town has a motel because Danvers was loving her boss in it.

Doltos posted:I think the issue is that people have been clear over and over that they recognize what the show is doing but are complaining that the show is telling them and not showing it. Even if it's an obvious motif it can still be done poorly. The guy you're replying to is unable to come to terms with that and thinks he's an enlightened television watcher. can you please stop attacking posters? I know it's your MO according to your rap sheet but please keep it about the show and stop trying to make yourself appear superior to others on the internet IMO this show is a really good example of rushed pacing. As others have pointed out, some of the plotlines (kid cop's marriage, the nomads living in the camp, etc) just haven't been given the room they need to be impactful. The show could have really benefitted from 2 more episodes, and a lot more introspection.

You don’t need to use anything like that since you can guarantee it’s mentioned at least once in a thread about a tv show the second the show in question doesn’t pause and give the viewer a wiki page explaining everything that’s happening.
