NIGHT c**tRY
Cinemaphile incel bros...
It's good..
We lost...
its good that we lost
An anon in the last thread pointed out that it's absurd to have a filler episode in a six-episode series.
I'm ten minutes into E3, and so far, he's right.
All the showrunner does is write mexican soap operas, filler is all she knows.
I really hope it’s not supernatural because it’s so obvious and poorly done like a blumhouse movie or something.
I think Navarro is potentially the killer, she’s clearly schizophrenic
>Navarro kidnapped half a dozen grown men, dragged their bodies a mile out into the ice, then got back into town without noticing
Nah. She's no more schizophrenic than the b***h that saw Rust's dad, anyways.
If the script pretends to make the supernatural elements "ambiguous", it'll be from the groundwater contamination, as anons pointed out last thread.
>Don't you ever get this feeling... like sometimes you just wanna disappear
high school quality dialogue
>Don't you ever get this feeling... like sometimes you just wanna disappear

It's how women with problems feel all the time. that's why they travel. they run away from their issues. they are children.
anon...
Remember when people said Jodie Foster was the ex of the cheek stud nig?
hahahahaha wrong
>the real night country was the friends we lost along the way
If this wasn't written by women it would be torn to shreds. Fricking c**t.
It's a sci-fi romcom through and through. I really wish the writer didn't insert all the magical bullshit from S1. It's comically badly inserted.
Conducting a 10-man search of total frozen wasteland for a man who has been gone for 48 hours has to be the most moronic thing, they could not possibly top it by the time they end this piece of shit. I'm expecting Benny Hill score to come on each time they go back to the thawing corpse rink.
I thought maybe something would come of it but nothing happened and they showed zero seconds of the search beyond that intro. So it was nothing, it lead to nothing, but they just had to show me that shit? Why did they have to take time out of a six episode season for that?
The show is obviously filmed without an afterthought by someone who thinks random locations will carry the scene instead of just making it extra dumb.
The actress is shit, but the directing is worse - she has three identical (maybe even four) guns out survey the place scenes in this episode alone. Keeps going over the same thing. And she's always just a witness to things, never a participant.
To be fair the show is color graded which basically means there's no natural light, it's all painted over.
Good point, and the show just shows them as brain addled mold huggers. Five chunky b***hes around a plastic pool and not one could be bothered to warm up some water.
>Five chunky b***hes around a plastic pool and not one could be bothered to warm up some water
Yeah, but why does Hollywood use that as the go-to "I'm helping with the birth" task?
This episode was absolute dogs shit. I was most offended by them blatantly lifting the "we killed the bad guy and covered it up" scene directly from season 1. Absolute fricking hacks.
Wait for the next episode when he says "Can't you see it? [Random author's work mentioned in Supernatural Horror in Literature essay], it's among you..."
How do you manage to have a permanent darkness for setting and not manage to get anything from it?
Same way you have scenes take place in a weird dusky daylight: by not giving enough of a shit not to.
had that thought this episode 2, the direction is insanely lacking compared to any season let alone S1 which might be the most cinematic drama show ever
I hate S1 because of the bluff it did with Ligottian / Lovecraftian aesthetic. It's almost laughable watching Rust reveal his little storage cube full of designer made clues. Like a teenage show. Also that whole biker thing was the best example of a tv director trying to move himself into the big leagues. It did have amazing cinematography and a sense of place.
Rust is legit mentally unwell and both his and Marty’s lives are completely consumed by the case they started, why would it be weird for him to have a storage room dedicated to the conspiracy after like 15 years of being a borderline insane hermit?
It looks way too neat.
The guy who's extremely methodical to the point of carrying a giant ledger with him everywhere has a neat room after years of setting it up? Who woulda thunk
>hate S1
why even watch the show if you dont like its best season, 2 is good but it severely lacks some of 1's best strengths
Why are injuns multiplying outside of hospitals?
We probably don't subsidize their existance enough and they don't want to report a rape when naming the father. Natives are fricking awful to eachother.
>Why are injuns multiplying outside of hospitals?
Indians have a lot of rape in their communities and they just hush it up and just have the rape babies. They pay doulas to have babies without anybody knowing or the states knowing or the father knowing.
this episode was so mediocre, truly demonstrated that they miscast the negris when every scene that was "her moment" was stiff, even further the mystery has no legit intrigue cause theyre alluding to some supernatural shit that has no association with real people which is obviously a red herring but even so is leading the mystery nowhere
Given how much filler there's been so far, and that it's a 6 episode season, I'm guessing the creator had a very faint idea for a story, pitched it under the TD brand, then rushed to fill in the gaps. The result is sloppy dialogue and a bunch of nonsense like the dancing ghost and Jodie Foster laying out pictures in a circle on the ground. It's abysmal.
>fill the gaps
holy shit you're right, they have the tiniest series of twists and turns for the mystery and they basically had to completely fill in the rest because they dont have enough to cover even 6 episodes
Women once again ruin everything
FYI, Nomad camps are NOT a thing. Fricking LOL. That's just the poor outskirts of town, or HUD row as they say.
I also saw a person that I grew up with got their cameo part with a line or two, but I hate their victimhood addict Democrat family and I hope HBO screws them on pay.
My wife is also from roughly the same area, tribe wise, and she's not recognizing the infanticide chant that seems to be repeating. No spontaneous chants, usually.
>the infanticide chant
The fricking what?
He's a schizophrenic incel, disregard entirely
Uhhhhhhh the chant breathing moaning thing they did twice this episode when the stillborn baby and birthing issues occured? Stop being moronic, you clearly don't know what those words mean. Lower 48 opinion discarded completely, we're full.
I'm watching the episode as I post. Are you telling me there's a second birth scene, on top of the stillbirth death that happened offscreen? Do the writers totally lack any sense of subtlety or pacing?
>I'm watching the episode as I post.
haha me too fren
The guy you're responding to is legit mentally disabled, he's a regular on this board
He's uttering nonense
Cope and seeth the harder.
We are full, and you will never be a woman. I know you're probably the lady who wrote this thing, trolling online, but you clearly never came here. There aren't that many lesbians, so "put a chick in it and make her gay" isn't suitable writing, EVEN for Jodie Foster 😉
You have nothing to say in regards to an argument, beyond attacking my character for knowing more than you do. Sad!
Medication
you just made me realize
yes, there's a birth scene and a mourning scene still birth baby of an injun woman
Yeah, thats what I'm saying. The deep breathing chant thing they do in both scenes. My wife doesn't remember any rituals like that in the village.
why did they show us a birthing scene where a baby appears to be stillborn, but pulls through at the very end, and then later allude to a different, offscreen birthing where a baby is actually stillborn?
Because no subtlety or pacing. The mold/bacteria/whatever is causing deaths, especially of barely-formed babbies.
The correct way to do this, assuming both births are actually narratively necessary (big assumption but ya know)
Allude to the actual stillborn first via someone talking about it
In the actual scene with the baby surviving, when the baby is first not breathing, have the midwife or someone else present say something like "no, no, not again!" to make it clear that it's a pattern and separate events.
Hire me HBO
>Allude to the actual stillborn first via someone talking about it
This does happen.
>say something like "no, no, not again!"
This sort of happens, but more subtly: they immediately take the child away to perform CPR.
The bigger problem is that both of those scenes, plus the mourning scene, are in one episode. Compare to the mold thing, which is getting all kinds of nods and gradually moving closer to the forefront of the investigation.
I was actually coming into this with an open mind but I’m starting to think it’s complete shit lol, zero plot progression since the first episode and every conversation between the main hoes is just legit a women’s interpretation of the car conversations between rust and Marty lol
>94% fresh
How does the review industry work? Are they all paid off or is there some unspoken credit given to people who praise wokeshit?
"Or"? Also, you're forgetting that leftists actually exist. Not all of them need incentives to praise ideologically-affirming garbage.
I understand leftists exist, but that can't explain all 93% of positive reviews.
could just be an npc seeing hbo made a crime show
could be more gamergate shenanigans
>is there some unspoken credit given to people who praise wokeshit?
basically this. woke = good to reviewers and they all know to promote it.
TV series are usually trash. You'll notice that about most TV shows really. The greatest TV shows of all time would be good films, sometimes great films, but they would never be true kino. There's no film equivalent to Solaris, Mulholland Drive, Harakiri, 2001 etc.
What you're seeing is the result of this. Part of it is political correctness, the media hype machine for a female season of True Detective held down by two strong wymin with some horror!!! tropes!! don't you like horror kids??? horror in my detective series!!!!
The other part is that people have no fricking media literacy and critical sense for TV because TV is a wholly inferior medium to film.
Here's RT's top TV shows of 2023. Feast your eyes and weep. What I'm guessing happened back then was that they rated things more fairly so they gave stellar reviews to S1 and gave mostly mediocre reviews to S2 being all disappointed in it.
S4 is just current day media reviews giving the greenlight to any slop with a big company logo on it.
jews israeliteing
>We pulled this man out of thin air, he was also a Tsalal worker!
>He vanished, has no record of him working, leaving, having anything!
>"Do you have a warrant I have stand my ground laws get out of my lawn I already gave a clear warning an officer can't trespass this is a reserve I know my rights I'll call my lawyer"
>Sir, you don't have a record of owning anything, not this house not even that firearm
>...get out!
Seriously cringe hearing the technical speech 10 seconds after hearing he owns nothing and have no record of anything
that guys whole scene was a really dissatisfying moment that should've been a strong marker in the overall mystery instead it felt like nothing really changed
>felt like nothing really changed
It wasn't a feeling
it DIDN'T changed anything
He provided no new information and he even has very little connection as he quit working after Annie die,and nothing indicates that he was hiding anything other than maybe sympathizing with Annie and going dark in fear of being targeted too
now these are some really tough WOMEN guys , these are some WOMEN with balls. Not only are they women , they are DETECTIVE women. My wifes daughter was watching this and i shit you not out of nowhere she said "when i grow up i wanna be just like them". Amazing.
why do pregnant ladies always need warm water?
Also why do they need so many towels?
mop up the incontinence
>why do pregnant ladies always need warm water?
it's alaska, in a decrepit house turned into a birthing hovel.
>Also why do they need so many towels?
fat indians shit themselves while birthing and there's a bit of a mess when a baby comes out
going on a manhunt? allow me to bring half a dozen oranges with me... oops i spilled em
watch the oranges vitamin C ward off whatevers in the water
Various observations:
-This entire episode basically could have been cut except for the scene at the end with the scientist waking up
-The central mystery gets less and less interesting with each episode. Yeah it's going to be some native cultural legend bullshit backed up by some kind of ancient microorganism. It's fricking taking forever to go anywhere with it even though the end result is obvious and already stupid.
-Hank just being a stand-in for whatever the writers don't like about certain groups of people just makes for a very lazy character. Nobody is like that. He is not a real person. Do they just let anyone walk in off the street and write for HBO series now?
>Do they just let anyone walk in off the street and write for HBO series now?
Yes unironically
This confuses me. If she's not a crypto israelite, then how did she get this? Lesbo lobby?
>If she's not a crypto israelite, then how did she get this? Lesbo lobby?
Woman of color shabbos goy promoting gay interracial prop to normies so she gets special treatment
She has a vagine
she looks like a frustrated college teacher
I was thinking maybe she had a writing credit on like at least some cable-slop
But no, her entire filmography is random low budget Mexican stuff
ESG incarnate
thats a israelite
any race that does this shit to their face is not worth saving.
>any race that does this shit to their face is not worth saving.
that's warpaint, not tattoo, you moron.
every society does warpaint
its a landing strip for wiener
>Racist White men with Confederate flags in their house who beat women to death love to listen to... The Beatles, yep, that's it, not Lynrd Skynyrd or Credence. Brown girl magic, I've done it again.
Even the little details are so shit.
How did Navarro know the last scientist was still alive and out on the ice? Just a hunch. The chief is all about evidence and asking good questions, but they just assume he's still alive and out on the ice still, even though he'd probably have froze to death at that point
Why is this thread flagged to die?
>kid cop rightfully points out that he can't just "crack" a smartphone
>episode ends with him doing so anyways
>resulting video is a bunch of nothing
Hey, at least we got another "horror" scene!
Probably troony janny melty.
lol that video was so off, it wasnt thrilling, interesting, mysterious it just alluded to more supernatural nonsense
shitposting about a current show is worse than posting cryptic meme threads
must be because we're the foremost criticizer of this new hit show, now theres a corruption mystery
i called it perfectly about the reason why navarro doesn't work with danvers based off of 2 seconds from a trailer
does that make me a true detective?
what's the reason? that they killed that guy?
navarro killed the wife beater because he was smug and it was white man vs eskimo woman, and danvers looked more shocked in the scene. she didnt disagree enough to turn her in (and ruin her own worklife) tho
yet another blatant ripoff of season 1. this b***h couldn't write one original plot point
mean muggin
Is putting all your evidence on the floor really supposed to look impressive? You can't see shit and you're squatting or on your knees. you have a desk and a computer and a bulletin board what the frick are you doing. they've done it in every episode and it always looks moronic
>Is putting all your evidence on the floor really supposed to look impressive?
a lot of people do this IRL because it gives you a birds eye perspective which is kind of handy when looking for things like picking actors during casting, picking clothes for costume design, and police when looking at pictures so its not uncommon practice at all for many professions.
bullshit
>*simply hacks your phone*
you can ask your pals to hack into an evidence phone, but you cant ask your pals to join the manhunt?
This show just sucks. In S1 Marty whoring around was seen as a bad thing and the show demonstrated the very real things he lost as a result of being a philanderer, even Rust gave him shit for it. In S4, both detective are town bicycles, I can't even keep up with who Jodie Foster is sleeping with or has slept with and it's played as a positive. Completely missing what S1 was saying about Marty's version of masculinity. I legit lol'd when she slipped on the ice and ended up back in Iraq or whatever, and the scene with Annie's cellphone was like a bad straight to video ripoff of Blair Witch or something. I almost gave up watching last week, and now I'm mad at myself.
for someone trying to keep an open mind on this new season Ep3 was the biggest blunder in keeping people engaged, it gave us everything we needed to declare it a shit show
Yeah same, I thought it might be fun to at least have on while I shitpost about it, but it's not even fun doing that, it's like beating up a moronic kid at this point. I'll probably finish it, but I won't enjoy it. I have been enjoying watching old eps of the X-Files though.
I feel like all the content of the ep could have been shown, with a reasonable pace, in 2 min.
The rest was just killing time, and not even in an enjoyable way.
Also, Pete is the only likeable characters in the show.
I didn't know that there was only 6 eps. Considering the slow pace of it, I would imagine that it would have like 20.
All the season 1 references make no fricking sense to me like lady you didn't even want this show to be True Detective why are you going for the cheap pops?

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."
