Tender Bender posted:Any building someone is going to spend any amount of time inside north of the Arctic circle is going to have some kind of heating situation even if it's just a space heater you turn on periodically. That is what I meant. I also think people who have lived in alaska all their life have these basics figured out and it doesn't need to be explained in detail to the viewer. The assumption is that wonder boy is going to survive the night sleeping in the loser shed. The entire point to the scene was "gently caress this shack sucks, why am I sitting in a lovely lawn chair instead of being at home?".

They could have put in a throwaway line of Hawkes handing him a space heater but I've never seen a heated shed ever in cold climate areas I didn't even know people would waste time on that, it's a shed. Still a minor problem but indicative of the writing as a whole.

Maybe Danvers, the murderer this season, tried to kill prior by hypothermia to confirm her hypothesis that hypothermia doesn't cause the burning corneas the scientists had.

Maybe, and hear me out guys, the shed has a heater but he didn't turn it on. That way, it is not only typical of a shed built in the region, but still allows for Leonardo DeCaprio Hair to be cold. Maybe he doesn't even feel cold, since he's from Alaska, and hasn't looked for the space heater to turn it on. Maybe it's a dumb thing to even argue about

Nobody lives in Alaska without having a few portable space heaters around. I don't actually need to physically see a space heater and watch a character plug it in and turn on to believe that there might be one around. I guess others do. Are people sometimes confused when characters just show up in other locations on a show? They didn't show any sort of car or transportation, we never saw them drive there, yet this person is suddenly several miles away from where we last saw them! I hope someone got fired for that gaping plot hole!

I fully admit that I was distracted during the first few minutes of the last ep but did anyone else find the complete lack of transition from them being at that site with Navarro having blood dripping out of her ears to them being back in town with no resolution to that scene quite jarring? I thought I had missed an episode in between the two?

I was all for the spiral being the connecting fabric to season 1 but they undid that AND its not “older than the ice” Just Tuttle references and Rusts dad for no reason.

th3t00t posted:I'm that goon. I thought the same thing in The Last of Us when the opening scene had Chris Heyerdahl as one of the interview subjects on that 60s talk show. He's not a huge star or anything but he had big roles in Hell on Wheels and Peacemaker, so I was convinced he would be a bigger part of the season later on because surely HBO wouldn't hire this guy to sit there and not say anything for the whole scene. I was wrong, that's exactly what HBO did.

Honestly, cool. If you're going to do a mid crime mystery show give us more ones that swing for a setting like Alaska and does weird poo poo with polar bears over a generic one set in Chicago.

Any crime story set in Chicago where the police didn't end up being the killers is frankly more out there than Night Country

I can't believe they had a character straight up go "you're in the night country now" then we find out that the caves are night country so they're not actually in it??

Monica Bellucci posted:*Goldfinger theme* Here in your spare shack, I can turn my space heater off The less that I feel, is the less that I'm a cop I wonder what you think as the polar bear eats your head I don't know to think, but ask me again I'll shoot you dead When I'm discovered tomorrow, will you still feel the same? When I'm discovered tomorrow, would you have changed? 'Cause the plot's still unexplained, 'Cause the plot's still unexplained, I, the plot's still unexplained 1, 2!!!

Despite problems I have, I don't mind that this show is outperforming. It's February, after all. Also, this should be great for a promising Whale Vomit fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Feb 14, 2024 |

It could be great if True Detective became a true anthology where every year some promising writer/director was given 8 episodes to do some kind of pulp mystery with a few random big-name actors.
