Why did Danvers not care about Navarro shooting Clark and then yell at her that he was their only witness? Why did she have the taped confession but not show Danvers? Why did they not even question Clark's recounting of what happened to Annie K?

Grip it and rip it posted:1>>>>3>2>Night Country. the closet we got to this framing device ever being used again was s3 and that was more of a re-re-re-re-linkinpark-flunkmaster flex-remix version of it anyway. honestly if they just stuck to this trope every season this entire show would have at least had an interesting gimmick to keep it at a baseline entertaining. ugahie iowoo watch the terror s1 i don't know

Well, one of them died by walking into the ocean a few days later, so probably she won’t remember after that.

Lampsacus posted:ol' nick (the writer-creator) said that each series would have 1 element connecting them: interviewing the true detectives as the framing device with flashbacks as the main storyline. presumably, this trope would probably cultimate like s1: the action/story wrapping up in the interview/present timeline. It was a fun device in the first season because when the interviews end and Woody and Rust go off on their way, it’s not at all clear what’s going to happen because the narrative structure you’ve gotten used to has just been blown apart. If you repeat it, that little thrill is gone.

Did all the cleaning ladies live in one house or were they anticipating Danvers figuring out the mystery and just sort of hanging out there every night?

Does the one white lady also believe in the ocean goddess? Also, what bullshit that they all work at the cannery AND have to have a second job cleaning the research station.

General Dog posted: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.  You see, the janitors know what genre they're in.

An ultimately life-affirming story of two police officers who are terrible at murder investigations but slightly less terrible at covering up murders.

More things ppl noticed: I guess the vet was wrong and the dudes really did just die by freezing to death. And there were many things that were not explained and/or did not make sense. For instance, the animosity between Danvers and Evangeline in the beginning. It seems they both wanted Wheeler dead and agreed to cover it up together, so why all the animosity. Also, Annie's death did not match the cave video at all. We were to believe in the video when the camera drops and she starts screaming is when she dies, but that is not at all what the flashback showed. So what happened in the tunnel on the video? This was such a disappointment. Danvers, summoning superhero strength, manages to rip a several-foot-long metal handle off of an industrial-grade freezer and uses it to shatter the glass, as one does Tsallal Pressured Silver Sky to … ramp up the pollution further, pretty please, even though it was for sure a bummer about all those stillbirths and probably cancers that ravaged the local community as a result.  I didn’t quite get how the roads were clear enough for him to make that drive, but the detectives were stranded almost to death at Tsalal? Not my business, I guess.) a confession video from Clark. (When was this recorded? Where was all the blood on his shirt?)

I thought the last 20 minutes or so were about as good as the show got, if you kind of just ignored the preceding 40 minutes of dumb poo poo, and also the previous 5 episodes of dumb poo poo. Also ignore the dumbness of the cleaning crew immediately solving the crime independently because the soap went down the hatch and they saw a tool of a particular shape God drat that was a bad television show

The really striking thing about this season is that you can ignore heaps and heaps of dumb poo poo as just Part Of The Show and there will still be plenty of dumb/hanging/incongruent details you need to wade through before you can fully accept whats playing out on the terms the show is asking you to. Truly cannot remember something in recent memory that was this poorly written with this strong a production/cast pedigree

DaveKap posted:Yes, basically every biological disorder would be cured by the dna of the micro-organism they were digging up. I mean on one hand you got a bunch of white, flabby, no life, god complex, rage prone "scientist" losers and the other hand a women with a righteous cause so I can guess why parts of the season didnt go over well here.

Oh No, The Haters Were Right. I think 'the reveal' on paper is an interesting story to tell, but all the supernatural red herrings and timewasting vs actually teasing THAT mystery was...very bad.

I really thought Star Trek Discovery would be the only thing I hate watch in 2024 but this finale really took the cake. I can't stop thinking of random things. So are we to assume that Danvers killed her son by drunk driving or that it was another drunk driver who caused it? What was the point of Navarro seeing her old army buddy missing half a face? What was the point of the polar bear? Not the stuffed animal, the real life one. Why was this guy dodging bullets in the Matrix?  Wait, why was that one dude's camper full of strange poo poo? Why did he have a bunch of weird rear end writing on his own notes? What's with the "WE ARE ALL DEAD" writing on the whiteboard? Did the ladies leave that? Why would they do that if they were leaving their lives up to mother nature and not actually directly trying to kill them? And yeah, it does super duper bother me that the entrance to the ice caves had to have been incredibly close to Tsalal Station. How wouldn't they piece that poo poo together? I'm starting to think that when a show is complete, nobody actually watches it. DaveKap fucked around with this message at 08:16 on Feb 19, 2024 |

I do have to admire the gumption of this show for including a polar bear and a hatch as part of its tale of dumb bullshit that largely doesn't get resolved or doesn't really add up
