The director revealing on social media that Travis is Rust's dad is something that actually does make the world feel small.

Haven't watched it in forever, but isn't a theme of season one that they fail completely to arrest the bulk of the bad guys and by the time they solve the case they're all pretty much dead save the one member they do catch?

Not dead but yeah
Marty shot the guy in the head so the trail stopped cold and when rust figured out they hosed up he got fired years later

S3 needed to lean more into the Atlanta child murders as an influence or reference but they pulled their punches on it for unclear reasons. Maybe they thought it would be too predictable, IDK.

Ali was good in it and so was Dorff. Lots of solid performances and the temporal jump framing worked well but plot wise it just didn't really have a hook.
I thought the ending was perfect honestly.
Would only be better if it was full momento and she recognized him and actually he solves this case regularly and everyone but him knows it and is in on it but let's him have his happy ending every few months

My thought that despite HBO and this thread calling it season 4 is actually a spin off show because no other season had a subtitle, and the intro isn't using double exposure. it also starts before the major crime

AAAAAH, this is literally how it works. You can't get access to an encrypted phone in theory, but in practice there are countless known exploits for specific older devices and Android versions that let you bypass the login & encryption. Especially for low end android phones from 2016 like in the show, it's very plausible that he found a working exploit after searching online for a while. It's literally as easy as putting it into Google.

People need to stop getting angry at this show over completely imagined plot holes. Wtf is happening

It's a plot hole because we're told it's an obstacle but never told how it's overcome. If it was that easy why did he say it wasn't, and if it wasn't then how did he do it so fast

It's not an obstacle. The writers use the phone encryption/lock screen so that they don't have to deal with the information from the phone immediately when the phone is introduced, but when they actually want to and when it would be good for the story. It's one of the most basic storytelling techniques in the world. The goddamn Greeks did it already when Zeus was out of office for the day and Hercules had to come back the next day to speak to him or whatever

I wonder if there is a word for an obstruction in a linear path that serves to delay the protagonist. It really chaps my balls when it is so easy. Maybe a portmanteau of obstruction and testicle, obtesticle

Season 3's mystery is like the opposite of this season's, in so many ways.

It was an absolutely fine season.

The only thing I have against it is that the recap sites and Twitter took the exact wrong thing from the spectacular ending. 'Ooooh. So he never left Vietnam. This was all just in his head. Like a test for the afterlife.' No. That's not literal. I don't even care if Nic came out and says it was meant to be.

Makes me wonder how season 2 would have went if it leaned way more into the “secret occult history of the US transportation system”.

It would need to all take place in denver

e: the killings would be in the airport. They'd be FBI detectives and the aha moment is they're flying out and notice the layout is a swastika

Question for the showrunner, if this season is so "female" then why is the town called Ennis and not Aginna?

They invert it by being in Ennis, and not letting Ennis get inside them.
