It was nice of the secret murder squad to include their one anglo friend in their midnight raid because she was their roommate.

Oh I also laughed when Danvers wished the two whitest women in the room a happy new year and pretended the rest weren't there. This was a fantastic dark comedy!

Endings are hard and this was wasn't very good. Nothing has a satisfying resolution. I wasn't expecting a happy ending, but this ending was just confusing and rushed.

The only crossover element from season one should have been Detectives gently caress and Suck as the two interviewers at the end. I would have clapped and cheered.

Lol why would Navarro not tell danvers about the taped confession until days / weeks / months later? Like what if the phone breaks or gets lost in the interim? Purely contrived bullshit that stands up to zero scrutiny.

Could we get a bit more detail on the scientists’ purported world-saving research? I feel like I wasn’t given enough information to perform the moral calculus on how many stillbirths it would actually be worth.

Isn’t it still winter when she goes off to kill herself/join the ocean goddess in her timeless realm? That scene with the stuffed bear could have happened a few days after they leave the research station.

The_Rob posted:Calling it true detective was the only way they’d get people to watch it. Nah, Jodie Foster alone probably would have gotten eyeballs. Definitely did juice up those numbers tho. I don't mind the scientists keeping the secret as it's a repeated theme that this city is fragmented between different groups that are very protective of their slice and inner communities. Multiple people inferring that her star-shaped stab wounds could have only been made by a very specific piece of equipment in the secret lab - immediately after picking it up - felt silly as hell.

The scientists did have a full-color report down there at their murder scene, six years later, with photos of Annie and a close-up of the drill head and the hole it makes on facing pages. The two detectives don’t see it, but the cleaners do.

Navarro and Danvers are struggling to stay warm. They both wander out into an Alaskan blizzard. Danvers falls through the ice. Suddenly the fire that was struggling to keep them for freezing to death is strong enough to thaw out a soaking wet person and prevent them from dying. Okay.

They could have very easily done the mob justice explanation in a way that wasn't.... cracked? Did the scientist killing confession need the forced girl power vibe? Did these random extra's need a story line? Did they really need lines at all? Extra's monologuing ... leads to very predictable results. This feel like it the last episode was affected by the writers strike and a producer just kind of typed out some pages.

I was a bit confused, but my ultimate assumption was that they had a friend who was janitor at the police station, and that’s who we see taking pictures of the file. But again, it makes no sense that would happen AFTER they discover the tool. Because without foreknowledge of the photos, it’s just a tool.

True Detective has always had goofy elements, and that was part of the charm honestly. The worst parts of this season were the elements that lacked believability. "We told the mine to pollute more" was the most nonsense twist in a season with a lot of nonsense . It's like if last year, a janitor at Silicon Valley Bank claimed to be responsible for the collapse of that bank. The best I can work out is that the creators really want to portray colonialism as something independent from profits and resource extraction. It's actually all about the mindset. The white cops will turn out better after they marry into native families. The massive mining conglomerate takes orders from the isolated science outpost. General Dog posted:Could we get a bit more detail on the scientists’ purported world-saving research? I feel like I wasn’t given enough information to perform the moral calculus on how many stillbirths it would actually be worth. I feel the same way as with The Last of Us. I don't believe those scientists actually could do what they said, so the bizarre moral dilemma isn't even applicable.

It just felt pretty misguided to make the object of evil be The Mining Company for much of the season and then be like nope actually it's the guys in the station who everyone's going to take action against instead. I get inflammatory mob justice but why not tie more of the scientists into the show rather than them be vague props? Why even have a mining company at all? Just make the scientists have hired muscle to enforce them researching on indigenous land. Then throw in all the protesting being against them for the entire season instead of splitting the ire. Or just get rid of the scientists all together and make it a mining outpost the women attack after one of them kills Annie K for pulling some sort of eco terrorism there. Why did this season have to be so muddled?

Why did rusts dad ghost point out the location of the bodies? Like what was the motive? Are there different ghost factions with different goals and interests? And if those cleaning ladies found all that evidence of wrongdoing, surely they would have found evidence of the book cooking and leaked it? Why didn't they do more beyond just avenging annie personally? They are the ones dealing with these stillbirths, I'd think they would be most motivated to get the mine shut down. Man the more I think about this the worse it gets. It's bad enough to make ghosts real, but to have them do these nonsensical things just to drive the plot forward...it's so pedestrian.

The file was still at the police station, so they took the picture soon after the crime. They did this because they like Annie and don't trust the police The scientists, like Danvers, believed doing their job was the most important thing and were ultimately OK ruining other people's lives to do it.

The my favorite part of the whole episode was Marnie telling Pete that worst part of killing his dad was the rest of his life. Can someone explain the voodoo murder camper to me? I accept I may have missed the connection. Kinda stinks we never got a pay off on why Danvers phone kept going off or the Russian bride thing even if they weren’t connected.

The native ladies are the True Detectives. The two things that bugged me the most: 1. The subterranean geography in general. For all 30 seconds of ice cave spelunking shown on screen, their ice cave ingress spot had to be no more than 1000 feet from the research station. Also, 30 feet from ice cave stable enough to accommodate the secret evil lab for years is deep open water covered by 1 inch of ice. 2. The extremely localized blizzard that knocked out power to Tsalal, made travel impossible except for when it didn't, left no snow on the ice, and cleared completely by midnight.

1>>>>3>2>Night Country. Honestly they should've just quit the series with all the accolades the first season got. Going back and rewatching the first season you can see all the dumb stuff that has become a mainstay of the series, but at that point it was fresh and cheeky and new.
