Just rewatched the scene. She literally says “what is that a cult sign? No, witchcraft. Hey Blair, you ever see anything like that devil sign?”

Like, bury the lede why don’t ya














POSSIBLE SPOILERS 2 EPISODES IN

Also, according to IMDB “Blair” resurfaces in episodes 4 and 6 with a name change to a French surname. Just saying..

yeah definitely. i think she is MEANT to be more of a compassionate character, but is just poorly written and also not a great actress. it's more like "hey here's the character you should care about". SHOW ME dont tell me.

Yea, I agree with you. Rust's character and the way he played pulled you in, you felt bad for him, you pulled for him.

Her characters has a lot of the same traits as Rust, but you aren't really intrigued by her and root for her because the acting job or writing or combo of both just doesn't make her very captivating in any way.

It’s not like I posted spoilers. For all I know, I’m way off base and she ends up becoming a victim late in the game and her drunk boyfriend is actually the villain. Only thing that makes it feel like a spoiler is the fact that the dialogue seems lazily written (could just be a red herring)

ETA: to appease those bothered, I’ve added a spoiler tag to the original post

Definitely think qavvik is in on it and mentioned earlier in this thread that he gets Navarro pregnant.

Navarro. her frick buddy is this tender hearted pancake guy who just wants to watch a movie but SHE WANTS TO frick (again - we got it)

Don't forget his candle lit bubble bath "alone time" lol.

I feel like they are purposely setting him up as too nice/soft, and he could have some kind of connection to whatever is going on. Looked like some bite marks on the bodies and he's got is dogs, one he was even cleaning wounds from a fight of some kind.

NSAggie your write-up overall is spot on. Especially the female characters coming off as what a female thinks male jackasses are supposed to be.
Kali Reis (Navarro) doesn't seem like a very good actress, and I too was very surprised to see her attached to True Detective opposite Jodie Fisher when casting was first announced. I never heard of her and looked up to see she only had 1 acting role before. Though according to wiki-pedia she received several accolades and awards/award nominations. Didn't see to gauge for myself, but possibly this is just bad writing?

You are also correct that they must show some kind of background or payoff for the 2 leads soon because nobody really gives a shite about 2 main characters yet.

Everyone here having a perfectly fine episode discussion (and yes, I read their post). And you want to bring this BS here from another thread.

Same thread. A few people have made this point and you continually want to act like we're misogynistic and consumed by politics (that point may have been from another thread when I brought up this TD thread). Just admit you're wrong and we can move on

Danvers reminds me of someone I worked with who has some pretty significant trauma in her life so she just shut off emotionally from everything. She just wasn’t attached to anything but always trying to fill that hole with something.
