I've seen you post this shit pic 20 times since the season started and it's a little sad that you haven gotten a single (You) so here you go. You may rest now
I wish I could see the "people" behind these types of posts. There are more and more of them and they're obviously part of some shill campaign. Are they at least getting paid, you think?
No you're being dense. This is much more than just trolling for (you), it's across every entertainment board (but only on threads with new releases, if X came out more than a few months ago you don't see them) and it seems organized.
You're just talking about the quality of Cinemaphile degrading, which is generally true with 2016 election tourism sprawl and migration from reddit/twitter (because homosexuals post Cinemaphile screenshots there). The formula is to post whatever is going to get the most replies, and then chuckle silently when (You)s stack up. It's really that simple
the shills on the true detective subreddit tried their best to persuade normies that it was actually genius, but once episode 4 aired it was evidently clear that the show was complete dogshit and now even redditors are telling people that the show sucks

It just feels like a big run around with all the drama Danvers and her daughter. Prior and his waifu. Navarro and her spongebob toothbrush.
And they're all pretty much the same drama.

why does every modern franchise hate their core audience so much? why alienate the season 1 fanboys?
He was about to shoot Danvers. And Danvers has been a better parent to him then Harry ever was because Harry is a little fricking loser in every facet of his life. And he admitted to being part of the Kowtuk cover-up
>Danvers abuses him on the daily >Danvers treats him like her own little slave >Danvers fricks up his relationship with his kid >Danvers torpedoes his marriage >She does all of this INTENTIONALLY
Anyone who's watched telenovela in their lives could see the telenovela writing on full display here.
It should have been Navarro or his wife being threatened, then he'd have had a better reason to shoot his father (mind you he had no good reason in general). Sniveling little cuck shot his own dad for some whiney karen who wants everyone to be as cynical and moronic as she is.
He was about to shoot Danvers. And Danvers has been a better parent to him then Harry ever was because Harry is a little fricking loser in every facet of his life. And he admitted to being part of the Kowtuk cover-up
she is also his default mother figure since his actual mother ran out on them
He was abusive and wanted to get into his grandson's life. Pete saw a way out of having Darwin grow up with a drink violent grandfather and took it.
Pete's not a 'good' guy. He's they guy we deserve. He's willing to do bad shit for the greater good.
Also, the supernatural will not be explained (it's Alaska!). Clark killed Annie because he thought she was using him but found her phone and she had recorded a message to her friend saying that she truly loved him. That made him go insane and imagine a J-Horror version of Annie in his dreams and later irl as he went more and more insane,
The mine only found the body and made Hank cut it,s tongue to send a message. Hank thought he was doing something good as it appeared to be an accident (the mine fricked with the crime scene). He thought he was protecting the protesters from themselves since Annie a^eared to have died in a machinery accident when sneaking in the mine.
The season 1 hints are just red herring and won't be explained.
The mine is dumping their shit in Night Country. It's why the water is black/polluted and may or may not be the reason for the hallucinations. But they say the hallucinations predates the dumping in the last episode, so it's left to you imagination.
And the sscientists were forced at gunpoint to get naked by crazy Clark and go into the tunnels where they got frozen by a localized weather event as Clark was doing this as a sacrifice to ghost!Annie so she would leave him alone.
And Pete kills Dr Who in the end, the real bad guy, and gets away with it. Danvers suspects it, but doesn't say anything.
Yeah. I'm serious. Yahoo Serious.
Never explained or even brought up as a plot point.
Oh, and Clark kidnaps Leah in E6 because she looks like Annie. He bring her in the Night Country tunnels as a sacrifice. Shit goes down, Danvers gets hurt taking a blow meant for Leah, Navarro kills Clark.
Jodie's frick friend, Christopher Eccleston aka the 9th Doctor. He's the one behind the illegal dumping of waste material. The woman in charge of the mine wasn't even aware of the dumping until recently.

To that troon that's destroying everyone here: you will never be a woman but I gotta respect your hustle. When did you guys become such whimpering homosexuals that you lets some troon frick with you. GenZ newbies incapable of responding halfway witty to such an easy target.
How far anons have fallen. Back in my day we'd have that troon hang himself by his knee high socks within three posts. Now they are stumbling over themselves thinking they are witty. That sodastream Tel Aviv wiener sucking good goy made me cringe. Actually make me root for the yngbaw
White boy here. I respect hard work, I find loose women distasteful, I don't like misanthropes, mentally ill people or those butch dyke types and I don't believe in the supernatural. Would I like this show?
There's so bad it's funny and just mediocre enough that it's bad / so bad it's bad. This one... it's not even amusing. The only reason I keep watching is out of bewilderment and a sick sense of morbid curiosity.
I saw S3 last week and it was amazing. This is just dreadful. Some of the worst writing I've seen in a TV show. And the worst part is that I'm starting to get used to it and less offended by what's on screen. No wonder people who consume Netflix TV all day can watch slop like this and consider it great TV
>wife kicks husband out for having some overtime on a once-in-a-lifetime mega bizarre local mass murder
this is the most phoned-in plotline in the season, the actors can't even be bothered to make it seem believable
I have no idea how they're going to wrap this up satisfactorily
Also why did it take five episodes for Prior to connect the mine to the Salaal station?
Guy? She wants a goofy white boy. She said it herself. If he even thinks about becoming a professional or responsible adult then the relationship is ovah. Mmm-hmmm.
they found Cheekstuds at the laundrymat to give her the spiral rock, where did they get it from? her boyfriend doesnt have her fricking cell phone number?
>where did they get it from
its the same rock she and danvers found at the angry indians house in the nomad camp. it fell out of her pocket when she went to qavvik's
I like the show by itself fine, but by the end of the second episode, it seemed obvious that the story is going to end up with the pink parka suspect guy using whatever bullshit pseudo "science" to revive his murdered girlfriend ("she's awake"), and it's she that drove the scientists out onto the ice, right?
No. She's awake is about a girl with a face, dark eyes, cold fingers and that he (Clark) can hear in his sleep (DO NOT GO TO SLEEP!!!). He wrote it all out on the pad of his ramblings on episode 1 or 2. You see it for like 2 seconds.
There's also a report about abnormal DNA strands in a sample. This is why the babies are dying. The waste material is mutating some parts of the DNA and causing SID.
>my boss is ruining my life >my boss is ruining my marriage >my boss ruins my relationship with my dad >find out my boss murdered someone with her partner >find out they covered up their murder >my murdering boss orders me to kill my dad >I do it
The scene read more like Hank wanted Pete to kill him because he hated what he had become. The look they exchanged, the fact he didn't even have his finger on the trigger, Pete going for a head shot. The whole Hank saving Pete's life is a dark mirror of this. Pete is saving his dad's soul by killing him.
HAHAHA like the show would be this deep. Nah, it's just moronic and the actors are trying their best to save it. They all rewrote the scene because it didn't make sense at all. Read Hank's actor's interview. He's all Issa is great but then he tells all the shit that went down during filing and you realize it would have been 20X worst, the only reason it's at least kind of watchable is that the actors (even the newbies) rewrote their scenes. Frick, ALL the actors wrote their own death scenes. They suck, but the original ones were worst.
It was a very different scene. It was the problem scene out of the five episodes that I was in, and Issa agreed. We met—Jodie and Kali Reis and Isabella Star LaBlanc and Finn Bennett and I. We had a couple of weeks to have all-day meetings where we would read the episodes, discuss, rewrite together. We rewrote that scene piece by piece to try to make it more believable, more subtle, and just more in service to the story as a whole.
The strokes were much broader originally. And there were things that strained credibility. So it was all about making it believable. Even up until we were shooting—I came in to shoot on that day and an idea had come up about how if Jodie's somehow unarmed, it can all work. If she's got a weapon on her, it's probably not going to work. So the idea that she takes her sidearm off and lays it on a table, and then I pick up that weapon—that was something that was decided at the last moment.
>She's a brilliant writer >broad strokes, scenes that strained credibility

It both shows how low the standards have become because of forced diversity and how incredibly stupid some viewers are that they can't recognise slop.

>I certainly made up a very extensive backstory for Hank, and part of that was done with Issa. I normally would do that kind of prep work alone, but because the Hank that I first read when I was offered the show, one of my concerns was…Issa is an incredible writer. But I just felt like he could be a lot more shaded and subtle and nuanced and more of a complex human being. And she agreed. And so we began to speak about that and I realized quickly that I would just muse about an idea sometimes to her, and the next draft of the script, that would be there.

I think it's because he understood that he finally lost the only thing he cared about: his relationship with his son.
There's women, but the characters are good and their arcs are good. It's not just woke for the sake of woke, it's plot related. Unlike season 4. But season 4 isn't really woke. The writing is so bad that the woke themes don't even make sense. There was some interesting shit to explore that you would have seen as woke, but it's not even surface level. I mean, shows like Supergirl had one the nose sledgehammer woke writing. This show (Season 4) is so bad it makes Supergirl looks like fricking Hamlet if you compare them. There's no, and I mean NO exploration of any of the woke themes. The daughter wants to reconnects to her native culture. You see her put fake chin tats. That's all. Nothing else. No explanation, no actual native culture showned, nothing. You see a birthhouse. That's it. No explanation, not exploration, nothing. The writers think it's enough native culture. Frick, season 4 makes exploitation movies look good. At least they use the actual culture. I guess Alaska has asian ghost and not their own supernatural lore now. Frick season 4. Frick it in it's fake native ass.
season 4 is the best season yet. don't listen to the mental midgets in this thread

Nah. They'r efor women and are called kakiniit. It's a big deal because it was illegal to have them some decades ago during the forced assimilation of our people. Up until the early 70s or late 60s. I'm not an expert, I don't know much about my own culture except for what my grandad taught me. It was mostly hunting/fishing related.
I'm mostly a fedora tipping atheist, but some people, older, see them as religious. Most younger people see them as social activism or just 'cool' (pun intended). Some moronic wiccan-tier bullshitter see them as healing/healer magic. They were in the past, but it predates the meeting of the white people so it's mostly LARPing since these traditions were almost already gone by the time whitey came here.

Men going for weeks at a time is usual since there's a lot of fishing industries. Even if you work other jobs, if the town is small enough you may work in a bigger town nearby and only come back during the week-ends. It's actually weird to see Prior's wife acting like that.

>Frick it in it's fake native ass.
Kali Reis and her mother are pretendians
>The human geneticist Bryan Sykes (1947–2020) wrote, "On the matrilineal side, all of the mDNA lineages are of either European or African origin, while the patrilineal Y chromosomes show a range of Native American, European, and African lineages plus one surprise from New Guinea." He continued that "genealogical reconstruction showed that the single Native American Y chromosome was most likely introduced into the tribe by a Cherokee incomer several generations back." He wrote further: "In contrast, the complete absence of Native American mDNA among the Seaconke Wampanoag came as a great surprise to me, given the usual direction of intermarriage between African and European American incomers and Native American women."
At least they talk and have experiences about the culture they claim to be from.
The show can't even do that. Why use natives as characters and talk about using native lore if you're not gonna use natives and native lore in any way, shape or form except for made up bullshit like the spiral symbol and J-Horror ghosts? OMG we see native looking people paint tats on each other! So powerful and deep!
Issa is the worst kind of racist since she doesn't seem to be aware that she is one. We wanted to see REAL native lore and learn about the town/it's people/the native population! So that we can care about their plight. But all we got was Danvers having sex, Navarro being angry, Leah whining, some protesters being angry because.. dirty water and babies, and Prior investigating off-screen.
Frick, Danvers doesn't even talk about the dead babies after her daughter writes murderer on the mine. Really? The writing is such a pile of shit.

Issa is probably a spoiled nepobabby brat. Mexican showbiz is even harder to slip into than Hollywood. She's just an aloof, indolent, rich moron. Of course, Americans will feel virtuous by saying they watch a show written by a female minority. Kek.

I don't remember my exact thoughts on S2 and S3. I think I was slightly disappointed by S2 and for some reason I don't think I developed a lot of thoughts on S3 even though I finished it.
Maybe I'm just blocking my memories as a coping mechanism.
>should
One of Danvers/Navarro murdered. The other one injured and forced to drop the case at gunpoint.
They go to the media and leak everything even though it results in them copping a murder charge for that case from years prior. We see a montage all the bad guys seething and shouting before getting legal slaps on the wrist/fired but no real consequences. >will happen
They'll find crystal clear evidence in the cave and go above the chief's head and get a complete admission of guilt from the main perpetrators but it will be implied that the real network of bad guys still exists in the shadows.

Yet chuds hate it for the wrong reasons
What was that thing about the cast telling the showrunner to straighten her shit btw?
Remove the pop songs and use Inuit chants as the soundtrack. Some are creepy, some are sad, some are happy.
Remove Sadako/Kayako and use things from inuit lore. Antlers. Whatever. Anything would be less cliché than Ju-On On Ice.
Remove jump scares and use creepiness instead.
Less drama, more investigation.
More flashbacks of Annie so we can actually care.
More info on the scientists. More info on the mines.
Less out of nowhere unexplained/never talked about again events like the Navarro ear bleed and fight in the ER.
More Leah, but actually make her explain herself and learn about her native culture. The angry teen bit is shit. She can be the character we learn about the town from. Her POV as an outsider getting in touch with the native part of town could have worked wonders.
Less moronation. You call a vet when you have people able to amputate next door and you fricking meet them face to face like an hour later?
More Hank. Less hitman Hank.
More wide/distance shots (or ANY SHOT) of Ennis. Let us feel how remote it is.
Use the cold. Show us the cold. Close your fricking doors, wear gloves, protect your ears. It's supposed to be fricking Alaska with -40 to -50 ffs.
And make fricking mist when you talk (but no CGI please)
Less CGI. The caribou were... okay, I guess. The boat looked like it came from a 1992 Sierra PC game.
Depends. The sun can be warm here, but most windows have shutters designed for the climate. Having your windows open to let the sun in is for when you're not at home and only for a small part of the day.
The windows themselves are supposed to be enough to keep the cold out. They never are.
That it can be great for writing femslash fanfiction.
Which are better than the shows they are inspired by. Not a hard task these days.
I'm sure if you google TDS4 fics, you'll find a bunch that are way better than the show when it comes to the plot and characters and that's with the focus being on lesbian relationships instead of the investigation.
Funnily enough it was the only part of this season I gave a frick about. It’s a nice classic tragedy; Hank saves his son from certain death, raises him by himself after the mother walks out (mirrored by Pete’s prostitute wife throwing him out for doing his fricking job), and then is himself killed by the very life he raised and cultivated, because he sold his soul to the devil.
Put an actual writer and director on this show, make the Priors the two cops working the case, and you’ve got the possibility of kino on your hands.
Unfortunately they end up being the E-plot to a show with enough threads to fill the alphabet.
True, a cliche noir plot but it could be much better if Hank was full fleshed character. It's funny how he gets all thee backstory few minutes before he gets killed.
I guess that's how actors tried to salvage the script but it didn't work.
It's also not true and something that gay writer made up to cover up the other non-truth in the film, that Native women go missing all the time or more than others or whatever. So this way he gets to have his lie and lie it too.
>can't grow food in frozen Alaska >people just import, no problem >water is polluted by mine >can't just import for some reason, need to shut down mine
these people are fricking moronic
I only watched the first episode. Do they ever explain why Jodie hates the Beatles so much she runs down a hall and attacks a TV until the music stops? that scene stood out as the dumbest to me.
the more quotes I see from this the more I hate it. it's like they're trying to retroactively make the first season worse by referencing it so much in this one
>Hank says he won't kill for the mine company lady >Few hours later he kills the druggie and attempts to kill the chief of police
What were they thinking with this writing?
it has that AI feel of constantly looping back to one repetitive thesis statement
there's been some great concise analysis in previous threads that convinced me she did use AI to help her write it. now the statements of the actors having to fix the script scene for scene validates it further
eh, this worked for me. That whole exchange was about the reluctance to actually say "go do murders for me" but at the same time...go take care of things. Maybe I was starved for literally anything to happen at this point but e5 seemed like they actually made a reasonable hour of tv
I am so sick of this Black person dyke b***h hauling off and punching some guy and beating his ass just because she didn't like something. Shame we won't get to see her get her skull caved in.
everyone is bringing up how mediocre the script, but there isn’t anyone talking about how mediocre the actual direction is
there isn’t a single impressive shot or auteur flourish, which is what I liked the most about s1
That's especially frustrating since I was so stoked for the setting. Can you have a better mystery setting than snow & ice country under eternal night, lol? And then they just do nothing with it.
last episode towards the end had a few good shots of the snow storm along with the bodies and remaining cops had a shot from above that was good. really not a lot of creativity on display sadly, so the good stuff really stands out. few moments before this shot then this shot.
the obvious choice would be to turn the darkness/storm into their own character. but we didnt really get that.
The most recent episode was actually good. Surprising given the last episode was awful. Finally, they've dropped all the stuff which has nothing to do with the investigation, including most of the lame ghost stuff / flashback sequences. If most of the show was paced like this, then it would have been good in its entirety. The reason the first season works so well is because the family drama is sidelined for the most part, and the mystery is such a major component of what's driving that show. Someone could edit this show to be tighter. I like the casting, and the "woke" stuff is espoused by woke characters so it makes sense. The only misstep they took with that stuff was the scene with the daughter and her girlfriend in that shop. It's so on the periphery that having it felt more like a purposeful decision to depart from the story just to show lesbian romance.
>The reason the first season works so well is because the family drama is sidelined for the most part, and the mystery is such a major component of what's driving that sho
and the family drama ties into the themes of the investigation (female sexuality) because Marty's daughter is a bawd, and if women are naturally bawds, why would it be wrong to treat them like bawds?
No need to dwell on bitter attitudes like that. Focus on what's in your control. If a woman leaves you then either your prospects are weak, or you didn't select correctly. Either way, if you live a fruitful life, you can better dictate your situation in regard to this.
Been reading some theories online, and apparently the woman from ep 1 that was beat up by her boyfriend is involved somehow because she's missing 2 fingers and appeared in ep 5 in the background?
I have watched season 1 at least twice and I honestly barely remember what happens kek
i got the broad strokes but i feel like i should really try to watch it. Problem is then I put it on and I'm like oh yea I remember this and zone out..then i miss details
>"it looks like someone blew the entryway shut" >no snow at all on the rubble, so this has to be recent
Is this another mystery that doesn't get resolved or remote explained? Also Hank is now playing a sad gee-tarr number, how much was that scene the actor's suggestion rather than Lopez's AI script?
Exactly. This is maybe the worst episode so far. The chief is talking about how shit the mining boss's husband is in bed in the boardroom now. This is extremely realistic dialogue for a realistic gritty detective drama. Miss Lopez has real writing chops.
>characters in jail talk about their relationship dramas and fond memories of childhood rather than the details of criminality which occurred or the repercussions, almost suggesting the riot was merely a mechanism to force more shlock relationship drama into the bloated screen time >core mystery remains entirely untouched
BRAVO MISS LOPEZ!
>From outta nowhere: Mining company bosslady has chief-cucked simp-daddy on the payroll >He passively accepts assassination mission without a word of objection, whilst his peers are actively monitoring his target

Reddit hates it even more than us. They just have more rabid deluded fans posting there than here, but they are a minority.
Most of the memes making fun of the show posted here comes from reddit in the first place.

I wish I could see the "people" behind these types of posts. There are more and more of them and they're obviously part of some shill campaign. Are they at least getting paid, you think?
It's just a guy who hates the show like the rest of us but he's trolling for (You)s. You're contributing to the problem by replying
No you're being dense. This is much more than just trolling for (you), it's across every entertainment board (but only on threads with new releases, if X came out more than a few months ago you don't see them) and it seems organized.
You're just talking about the quality of Cinemaphile degrading, which is generally true with 2016 election tourism sprawl and migration from reddit/twitter (because homosexuals post Cinemaphile screenshots there). The formula is to post whatever is going to get the most replies, and then chuckle silently when (You)s stack up. It's really that simple

>things that never happened
Leftists are detached from reality.
Prior is. He figured out Danvers was feeding him a bullshit story about a murder suicide, kept digging, and figured out the evidence manipulation.
He's a stupid frick for having his password be his kid's birthday, but otherwise, he is an up and coming True® Detective™
You can't have a male True Detective in the year 2024, Anon.
The hilarious thing is that so far, out of all the women, the young boy white man is the only True Detective™

I really don't know where they were going with his. Oh no, you're working too much to support us when there's a case of 20 people dead. you should find some other job, when the only other option is the mines.
It just feels like a big run around with all the drama Danvers and her daughter. Prior and his waifu. Navarro and her spongebob toothbrush.
And they're all pretty much the same drama.
Atleast Daddy Prior's situation was just like "oh... i'm a lonely man" and it was over
this show is made by women, for women. it's understandable you white boys don't get it
why does every modern franchise hate their core audience so much? why alienate the season 1 fanboys?
Lucky duck. I'd love a face full of her pussy.
Was killing his own father part of his plan? What Hank ever did to him to justify that?
He broke the law, and only a True Detective™ would kill his own father in the pursuit of law and justice.
He was about to shoot Danvers. And Danvers has been a better parent to him then Harry ever was because Harry is a little fricking loser in every facet of his life. And he admitted to being part of the Kowtuk cover-up
>Danvers abuses him on the daily
>Danvers treats him like her own little slave
>Danvers fricks up his relationship with his kid
>Danvers torpedoes his marriage
>She does all of this INTENTIONALLY
Anyone who's watched telenovela in their lives could see the telenovela writing on full display here.
It should have been Navarro or his wife being threatened, then he'd have had a better reason to shoot his father (mind you he had no good reason in general). Sniveling little cuck shot his own dad for some whiney karen who wants everyone to be as cynical and moronic as she is.
she is also his default mother figure since his actual mother ran out on them
>Was killing his own father part of his plan?
Yes. Crashing this family.. with NO SURVIVORS
He was abusive and wanted to get into his grandson's life. Pete saw a way out of having Darwin grow up with a drink violent grandfather and took it.
Pete's not a 'good' guy. He's they guy we deserve. He's willing to do bad shit for the greater good.
Also, the supernatural will not be explained (it's Alaska!). Clark killed Annie because he thought she was using him but found her phone and she had recorded a message to her friend saying that she truly loved him. That made him go insane and imagine a J-Horror version of Annie in his dreams and later irl as he went more and more insane,
The mine only found the body and made Hank cut it,s tongue to send a message. Hank thought he was doing something good as it appeared to be an accident (the mine fricked with the crime scene). He thought he was protecting the protesters from themselves since Annie a^eared to have died in a machinery accident when sneaking in the mine.
The season 1 hints are just red herring and won't be explained.
The mine is dumping their shit in Night Country. It's why the water is black/polluted and may or may not be the reason for the hallucinations. But they say the hallucinations predates the dumping in the last episode, so it's left to you imagination.
And the sscientists were forced at gunpoint to get naked by crazy Clark and go into the tunnels where they got frozen by a localized weather event as Clark was doing this as a sacrifice to ghost!Annie so she would leave him alone.
And Pete kills Dr Who in the end, the real bad guy, and gets away with it. Danvers suspects it, but doesn't say anything.
Yeah. I'm serious. Yahoo Serious.
how did he get the bodies out of the tunnels then
Never explained or even brought up as a plot point.
Oh, and Clark kidnaps Leah in E6 because she looks like Annie. He bring her in the Night Country tunnels as a sacrifice. Shit goes down, Danvers gets hurt taking a blow meant for Leah, Navarro kills Clark.
Rust's dad helps him
What's that Kiribati muscleman? Jimmy's stuck down the well!?
he's trying to tell you where some dead bodies are
Thanks for putting the bubbles in beer
Putting bubbles in beer is an art form.
>Pete kills Dr Who
Who?
Jodie's frick friend, Christopher Eccleston aka the 9th Doctor. He's the one behind the illegal dumping of waste material. The woman in charge of the mine wasn't even aware of the dumping until recently.
Yikes. His fifties have not been kind to him.
I had to do a triple take and verify too.
>wanted to get into his grandson's life
Damn, what a evil grandpa. Wanted to know his grandson
Twink Prior killed Annie K
That would nonironically based
It would explain why he killed the father and why he insisted on cleaning up by himself

White boy here. I respect hard work, I find loose women distasteful, I don't like misanthropes, mentally ill people or those butch dyke types and I don't believe in the supernatural. Would I like this show?
you'll enjoy making fun of it
I respectfully disagree with this anon
There's so bad it's funny and just mediocre enough that it's bad / so bad it's bad. This one... it's not even amusing. The only reason I keep watching is out of bewilderment and a sick sense of morbid curiosity.
I saw S3 last week and it was amazing. This is just dreadful. Some of the worst writing I've seen in a TV show. And the worst part is that I'm starting to get used to it and less offended by what's on screen. No wonder people who consume Netflix TV all day can watch slop like this and consider it great TV
why would there be a true detective? they're all IN THE NIGHT COUNTRY NOW
>wife kicks husband out for having some overtime on a once-in-a-lifetime mega bizarre local mass murder

I have no idea how they're going to wrap this up satisfactorily
Also why did it take five episodes for Prior to connect the mine to the Salaal station?

I like the show by itself fine, but by the end of the second episode, it seemed obvious that the story is going to end up with the pink parka suspect guy using whatever bullshit pseudo "science" to revive his murdered girlfriend ("she's awake"), and it's she that drove the scientists out onto the ice, right?
If, and only if, the supernatural shit is not all red herrings.
No. She's awake is about a girl with a face, dark eyes, cold fingers and that he (Clark) can hear in his sleep (DO NOT GO TO SLEEP!!!). He wrote it all out on the pad of his ramblings on episode 1 or 2. You see it for like 2 seconds.
There's also a report about abnormal DNA strands in a sample. This is why the babies are dying. The waste material is mutating some parts of the DNA and causing SID.

????????
The craving for GILF pusy is strong in young Prior.
The scene read more like Hank wanted Pete to kill him because he hated what he had become. The look they exchanged, the fact he didn't even have his finger on the trigger, Pete going for a head shot. The whole Hank saving Pete's life is a dark mirror of this. Pete is saving his dad's soul by killing him.
HAHAHA like the show would be this deep. Nah, it's just moronic and the actors are trying their best to save it. They all rewrote the scene because it didn't make sense at all. Read Hank's actor's interview. He's all Issa is great but then he tells all the shit that went down during filing and you realize it would have been 20X worst, the only reason it's at least kind of watchable is that the actors (even the newbies) rewrote their scenes. Frick, ALL the actors wrote their own death scenes. They suck, but the original ones were worst.
link to interviews?
Spoilers for episode 5 if you're not American.
https://www.gq.com/story/true-detective-night-country-episode-5-john-hawkes-interview
It was a very different scene. It was the problem scene out of the five episodes that I was in, and Issa agreed. We met—Jodie and Kali Reis and Isabella Star LaBlanc and Finn Bennett and I. We had a couple of weeks to have all-day meetings where we would read the episodes, discuss, rewrite together. We rewrote that scene piece by piece to try to make it more believable, more subtle, and just more in service to the story as a whole.
The strokes were much broader originally. And there were things that strained credibility. So it was all about making it believable. Even up until we were shooting—I came in to shoot on that day and an idea had come up about how if Jodie's somehow unarmed, it can all work. If she's got a weapon on her, it's probably not going to work. So the idea that she takes her sidearm off and lays it on a table, and then I pick up that weapon—that was something that was decided at the last moment.
>if you're not American.
then may god have mercy on your soul
>She's a brilliant writer
>broad strokes, scenes that strained credibility
lol
It both shows how low the standards have become because of forced diversity and how incredibly stupid some viewers are that they can't recognise slop.
>broad strokes, scenes that strained credibility
she used AI in the writing process
>I certainly made up a very extensive backstory for Hank, and part of that was done with Issa. I normally would do that kind of prep work alone, but because the Hank that I first read when I was offered the show, one of my concerns was…Issa is an incredible writer. But I just felt like he could be a lot more shaded and subtle and nuanced and more of a complex human being. And she agreed. And so we began to speak about that and I realized quickly that I would just muse about an idea sometimes to her, and the next draft of the script, that would be there.

I see the marketing worked on you homosexual
watching s1 and its full of woman drama shit but it's not at immersion breaking level, apparently s4 is full on woman shit
is s2-3 watchable still?
s2 has good characters but a bad mystery
same with s3
Caspere knew this
well im drawn in by the characters so ill watch it as long as it doesnt devolve into womanshit
There's women, but the characters are good and their arcs are good. It's not just woke for the sake of woke, it's plot related. Unlike season 4. But season 4 isn't really woke. The writing is so bad that the woke themes don't even make sense. There was some interesting shit to explore that you would have seen as woke, but it's not even surface level. I mean, shows like Supergirl had one the nose sledgehammer woke writing. This show (Season 4) is so bad it makes Supergirl looks like fricking Hamlet if you compare them. There's no, and I mean NO exploration of any of the woke themes. The daughter wants to reconnects to her native culture. You see her put fake chin tats. That's all. Nothing else. No explanation, no actual native culture showned, nothing. You see a birthhouse. That's it. No explanation, not exploration, nothing. The writers think it's enough native culture. Frick, season 4 makes exploitation movies look good. At least they use the actual culture. I guess Alaska has asian ghost and not their own supernatural lore now. Frick season 4. Frick it in it's fake native ass.
yeah sounds like i will just skip s4, for what its worth if the show manages to entertain me for 3 seasons i consider it good
season 4 is the best season yet. don't listen to the mental midgets in this thread
whitebois so mad
I'm Inupiat you sick frick. I don't give a shit about racism and stuff like that, but this show is so offensive to my culture, to writing in general and to my intelligence that I feel a personal affront each episode.
The only reason I watch is that the actors are good. They have shit lines and shit story arcs, but they seem to be giving it their all. Respect. Swimming in shit ain't easy. Ask Rambo.
do you have those 3 lines tattooed on your chin? that's that all about? is it supposed to be roadmap to show where you insert your dick into those ugly ass women?
Nah. They'r efor women and are called kakiniit. It's a big deal because it was illegal to have them some decades ago during the forced assimilation of our people. Up until the early 70s or late 60s. I'm not an expert, I don't know much about my own culture except for what my grandad taught me. It was mostly hunting/fishing related.
I'm mostly a fedora tipping atheist, but some people, older, see them as religious. Most younger people see them as social activism or just 'cool' (pun intended). Some moronic wiccan-tier bullshitter see them as healing/healer magic. They were in the past, but it predates the meeting of the white people so it's mostly LARPing since these traditions were almost already gone by the time whitey came here.
have you ever fricked an Inupiat woman? are they all as c**ty as they seem on the show?
Yes I did, but no they aren't. The show's women don't even feel like they come from here lol
Men going for weeks at a time is usual since there's a lot of fishing industries. Even if you work other jobs, if the town is small enough you may work in a bigger town nearby and only come back during the week-ends. It's actually weird to see Prior's wife acting like that.
do the Inupiat women have sex with black men while their husbands are away for weeks fishing?
Of course.
that's awesome. it's nice to see that some things are the same in every culture
Have you accepted our Lord and Destroyer Cthulhu into your life? Will you be eaten first or will you suffer untold pain and horrors when he wakes up?
Just by writing your name on this copy of the Necronomicon using dead baby blood, you can be one of the first to be eaten. Don't wait. You never know when the stars will be right!
no thanks, i already wear a tiny hat on my head
Shalom.

>Frick it in it's fake native ass.
Kali Reis and her mother are pretendians
>The human geneticist Bryan Sykes (1947–2020) wrote, "On the matrilineal side, all of the mDNA lineages are of either European or African origin, while the patrilineal Y chromosomes show a range of Native American, European, and African lineages plus one surprise from New Guinea." He continued that "genealogical reconstruction showed that the single Native American Y chromosome was most likely introduced into the tribe by a Cherokee incomer several generations back." He wrote further: "In contrast, the complete absence of Native American mDNA among the Seaconke Wampanoag came as a great surprise to me, given the usual direction of intermarriage between African and European American incomers and Native American women."
why would you go on the internet and make a racist post like this
At least they talk and have experiences about the culture they claim to be from.
The show can't even do that. Why use natives as characters and talk about using native lore if you're not gonna use natives and native lore in any way, shape or form except for made up bullshit like the spiral symbol and J-Horror ghosts? OMG we see native looking people paint tats on each other! So powerful and deep!
Issa is the worst kind of racist since she doesn't seem to be aware that she is one. We wanted to see REAL native lore and learn about the town/it's people/the native population! So that we can care about their plight. But all we got was Danvers having sex, Navarro being angry, Leah whining, some protesters being angry because.. dirty water and babies, and Prior investigating off-screen.
Frick, Danvers doesn't even talk about the dead babies after her daughter writes murderer on the mine. Really? The writing is such a pile of shit.
I wanted to like it. I really, really wanted to, but they made it impossible.
oh, and they never even bring up he cliffhanger ending of episode 4?
Like... there's bad writing and then there's... this.
Issa is probably a spoiled nepobabby brat. Mexican showbiz is even harder to slip into than Hollywood. She's just an aloof, indolent, rich moron. Of course, Americans will feel virtuous by saying they watch a show written by a female minority. Kek.
i think birthhouses are fricking awesome. i would totally hang out in one for a chance to see some gaping indigenous snatch

Night Country is the only good season of True Detective, and I am tired of pretending its not
i adore s1
i like s2
i found s3 good
i never bashed a true detective season before.
I don't remember my exact thoughts on S2 and S3. I think I was slightly disappointed by S2 and for some reason I don't think I developed a lot of thoughts on S3 even though I finished it.
Maybe I'm just blocking my memories as a coping mechanism.
so what are the threads they should resolve in the final episode?
>one eyed bear
>"she's awake"
>what the ghosts/people were pointing at
>the spiral
>
absolutely none of them. why should they? only whiteboys care about finding answers
>should
One of Danvers/Navarro murdered. The other one injured and forced to drop the case at gunpoint.
They go to the media and leak everything even though it results in them copping a murder charge for that case from years prior. We see a montage all the bad guys seething and shouting before getting legal slaps on the wrist/fired but no real consequences.
>will happen
They'll find crystal clear evidence in the cave and go above the chief's head and get a complete admission of guilt from the main perpetrators but it will be implied that the real network of bad guys still exists in the shadows.
I wanted this to be good but...
>Casually forget about leads and evidences
>Pryor cracking phones and shit
>Pryor senior is suddenly a hit man but fricks it up big time
>The fricking bear
>Muh ghosts
>Navarro's ears bleeding
>Shit tons of evidence from the trailer
>pacing is bad, couldn't care less about the climax of ep 5
>Danvers schtick getting stale
>Supernatural X big corporate X psycho killer X Big White Bear
> Season 1 pandering crap
Yet chuds hate it for the wrong reasons
What was that thing about the cast telling the showrunner to straighten her shit btw?
Remove the pop songs and use Inuit chants as the soundtrack. Some are creepy, some are sad, some are happy.
Remove Sadako/Kayako and use things from inuit lore. Antlers. Whatever. Anything would be less cliché than Ju-On On Ice.
Remove jump scares and use creepiness instead.
Less drama, more investigation.
More flashbacks of Annie so we can actually care.
More info on the scientists. More info on the mines.
Less out of nowhere unexplained/never talked about again events like the Navarro ear bleed and fight in the ER.
More Leah, but actually make her explain herself and learn about her native culture. The angry teen bit is shit. She can be the character we learn about the town from. Her POV as an outsider getting in touch with the native part of town could have worked wonders.
Less moronation. You call a vet when you have people able to amputate next door and you fricking meet them face to face like an hour later?
More Hank. Less hitman Hank.
More wide/distance shots (or ANY SHOT) of Ennis. Let us feel how remote it is.
Use the cold. Show us the cold. Close your fricking doors, wear gloves, protect your ears. It's supposed to be fricking Alaska with -40 to -50 ffs.
And make fricking mist when you talk (but no CGI please)
Less CGI. The caribou were... okay, I guess. The boat looked like it came from a 1992 Sierra PC game.
Yeah...pretty spot on...they tried too many things, I even want to believe that the bear a nod to the LOST clusterfrick.
Also do people in Alaska have fricking extra large windows without curtains?
Depends. The sun can be warm here, but most windows have shutters designed for the climate. Having your windows open to let the sun in is for when you're not at home and only for a small part of the day.
The windows themselves are supposed to be enough to keep the cold out. They never are.
Yeah i figured that the prefab houses had shit windows. The old hag's house looks very comfy but I don't truet these windows
so the same show but for dudes? we’re not the audience anymore
So this show isn't gay as shit?
everyone is a carpet muncher in that show
What's the likely reason? The patriarchy?
Jews and/or Chuds depending on which meds I took this morning (if any)
This article says otherwise
Gay Beyond Belief is actually the name of our local church choir.
Sounds about right. Shouldn't you be in church?
Nah, better to spend this blessed day with my boyfriend.
Sounds like something from GTA universe
>THEY'RE BOTH WRONG THE SHOW IS BISEXUAL
why is it even so important for morons to write these articles
No one wants fsggottu in their entertainment. They're pissed off normal people don't want fsggottu in their entertainment.
kek i made this
beautiful work, anon
>queer coded
What does that even mean?
Everything is gay.
That it can be great for writing femslash fanfiction.
Which are better than the shows they are inspired by. Not a hard task these days.
I'm sure if you google TDS4 fics, you'll find a bunch that are way better than the show when it comes to the plot and characters and that's with the focus being on lesbian relationships instead of the investigation.
stereotype dog whistles
Having his own son kill him says a lot about the deranged mind of the writers.
he didn't even get sodomized. this show isn't gay enough for me
Funnily enough it was the only part of this season I gave a frick about. It’s a nice classic tragedy; Hank saves his son from certain death, raises him by himself after the mother walks out (mirrored by Pete’s prostitute wife throwing him out for doing his fricking job), and then is himself killed by the very life he raised and cultivated, because he sold his soul to the devil.
Put an actual writer and director on this show, make the Priors the two cops working the case, and you’ve got the possibility of kino on your hands.
Unfortunately they end up being the E-plot to a show with enough threads to fill the alphabet.
True, a cliche noir plot but it could be much better if Hank was full fleshed character. It's funny how he gets all thee backstory few minutes before he gets killed.
I guess that's how actors tried to salvage the script but it didn't work.
Really? How so? Seems rather odd. Is it possible that’s because tribal police depts would come out as incompetent if they’d release them?
Considering they're all at the very least alcoholics it's not too surprising.
why do injuns love firewater so much?
Reminds them of their Irish roots.
is that why their faces look like potatoes?
Correct. The face tattoos are to prevent cannibalism.
It's also not true and something that gay writer made up to cover up the other non-truth in the film, that Native women go missing all the time or more than others or whatever. So this way he gets to have his lie and lie it too.
Prior's wife is the most unlikable character in the entire show.
She never existed and is probably some dude in Ivory Coast
he's talking about Kayla, you moron.
How can you tell what he means, you from the psychosphere bud?
just stop saying odd shit
wow, this anon is actually moronic. i'd spell it out for you, but i know it'd go right over your head
>Can't into punctuation
>Ur moron3d!!1!
how many different voices live in your head?
One per year spent here and they all call you a gayget
no matter how many times you poast, I won't watch your boring queer slop
We all hate the show but are still watching it
Because it's only 6 episodes, we want to see how shit it gets, we want to know the answer to the mystery and some of the actors are good.
Gee how do you expect to tie so many lines in 6 fricking episodes
It was all a dream. There's a lot of heavy handed songs and dialogue that points to this.
I haven't watched a single episode, I'm just enjoying the mockery.
I believe in skeletons less than I believe in global warming
>can't grow food in frozen Alaska
>people just import, no problem
>water is polluted by mine
>can't just import for some reason, need to shut down mine
these people are fricking moronic
t. mine
The real True Detective™ was the astroturf cheerleader friends we made along the way.
I only watched the first episode. Do they ever explain why Jodie hates the Beatles so much she runs down a hall and attacks a TV until the music stops? that scene stood out as the dumbest to me.
they do explain it
my mom likes it so its good
brainstorm whats a good joke for panel 3
Burgers?
the more quotes I see from this the more I hate it. it's like they're trying to retroactively make the first season worse by referencing it so much in this one
wait until the finale where you see Prior mowing Danver's lawn
Don't mow my lawn ever again
"why didn't any of the hbo executives care that one of their strongest IPs was put in the hands of a literal nobody?"
>Hank says he won't kill for the mine company lady
>Few hours later he kills the druggie and attempts to kill the chief of police
What were they thinking with this writing?
>What were they thinking with this writing?
Pretty sure ChatGPT did the thinking
>Pretty sure ChatGPT did the thinking
People joke about this but:
1. Women are that bad at writing.
2. These are group writing sessions so it give it that AI feel.
I can tell the dialogue is so dumbed down. I don't know if it was AI but it certainly feels like someone with a lower IQ wrote this slop
it has that AI feel of constantly looping back to one repetitive thesis statement
there's been some great concise analysis in previous threads that convinced me she did use AI to help her write it. now the statements of the actors having to fix the script scene for scene validates it further
Even AI would come up to a better conclusion
eh, this worked for me. That whole exchange was about the reluctance to actually say "go do murders for me" but at the same time...go take care of things. Maybe I was starved for literally anything to happen at this point but e5 seemed like they actually made a reasonable hour of tv
Hank, uh, kinda forgot he wasn't a murderer
yuuuup, kek
It was self-defense.
I am so sick of this Black person dyke b***h hauling off and punching some guy and beating his ass just because she didn't like something. Shame we won't get to see her get her skull caved in.
You should cave your own skull in for watching this trash
everyone is bringing up how mediocre the script, but there isn’t anyone talking about how mediocre the actual direction is
there isn’t a single impressive shot or auteur flourish, which is what I liked the most about s1
It looks cheap. It uses CG badly. It employs jumpscares with spoopy ghosts.
It is absolute dogshit. The showrunner is eligeable for razzies.
That's especially frustrating since I was so stoked for the setting. Can you have a better mystery setting than snow & ice country under eternal night, lol? And then they just do nothing with it.
last episode towards the end had a few good shots of the snow storm along with the bodies and remaining cops had a shot from above that was good. really not a lot of creativity on display sadly, so the good stuff really stands out. few moments before this shot then this shot.
the obvious choice would be to turn the darkness/storm into their own character. but we didnt really get that.
>hairline starts halfway at the top of her skull
I think most of us would agree the setting and the premise are great, its just the shitty execution on all fronts thats the problem.
"It's a detective drama, but with the emphasis on the drama, rather than the investigation." - Issa López
I FRICKING HATE BISEXUAL WOMEN
Ask the fricking question anon!
all the injun shit was annoying
The most recent episode was actually good. Surprising given the last episode was awful. Finally, they've dropped all the stuff which has nothing to do with the investigation, including most of the lame ghost stuff / flashback sequences. If most of the show was paced like this, then it would have been good in its entirety. The reason the first season works so well is because the family drama is sidelined for the most part, and the mystery is such a major component of what's driving that show. Someone could edit this show to be tighter. I like the casting, and the "woke" stuff is espoused by woke characters so it makes sense. The only misstep they took with that stuff was the scene with the daughter and her girlfriend in that shop. It's so on the periphery that having it felt more like a purposeful decision to depart from the story just to show lesbian romance.
>The reason the first season works so well is because the family drama is sidelined for the most part, and the mystery is such a major component of what's driving that sho
and the family drama ties into the themes of the investigation (female sexuality) because Marty's daughter is a bawd, and if women are naturally bawds, why would it be wrong to treat them like bawds?
No need to dwell on bitter attitudes like that. Focus on what's in your control. If a woman leaves you then either your prospects are weak, or you didn't select correctly. Either way, if you live a fruitful life, you can better dictate your situation in regard to this.
I'm talking about the themes of season 1 moron
>What does the spiral mean? Is it some cult thing?
LOL NO it's just a warning to hunters it means the ice is thin
Been reading some theories online, and apparently the woman from ep 1 that was beat up by her boyfriend is involved somehow because she's missing 2 fingers and appeared in ep 5 in the background?
Yeah, she did it.
Just watching ep5, it's started with a comedy intro of the sister's body being cremated. Is the rest of the episode this funny?
I have watched season 1 at least twice and I honestly barely remember what happens kek
i got the broad strokes but i feel like i should really try to watch it. Problem is then I put it on and I'm like oh yea I remember this and zone out..then i miss details
>"it looks like someone blew the entryway shut"
>no snow at all on the rubble, so this has to be recent
Is this another mystery that doesn't get resolved or remote explained? Also Hank is now playing a sad gee-tarr number, how much was that scene the actor's suggestion rather than Lopez's AI script?
>cops v cops when kettling the protesters
>immediately cuts away to the chief finding out via mobile
BRAVO MISS LOPEZ!
>Character faces no consequences whatsoever
>Woman
Exactly. This is maybe the worst episode so far. The chief is talking about how shit the mining boss's husband is in bed in the boardroom now. This is extremely realistic dialogue for a realistic gritty detective drama. Miss Lopez has real writing chops.
this show is so confusing when all the native girls look the same
>characters in jail talk about their relationship dramas and fond memories of childhood rather than the details of criminality which occurred or the repercussions, almost suggesting the riot was merely a mechanism to force more shlock relationship drama into the bloated screen time
>core mystery remains entirely untouched
BRAVO MISS LOPEZ!
>From outta nowhere: Mining company bosslady has chief-cucked simp-daddy on the payroll
>He passively accepts assassination mission without a word of objection, whilst his peers are actively monitoring his target
BRAVO MISS LOPEZ!
>family drama, let "frick liz"'s daughter out her cell scene
>"hey... what the hell was that all about?"
>"oh just... family stuff.. you know"
>proceeds into another family drama scene between Watkin Tudor Jones and Leon Scott Kennedy's skating escapades
GODDAMN THIS GRITTY POLICE INVESTIGATION SHOW IS MUY CALIENTE
