That was the guy that young officer found had the same injuries as the others from an old police report or hospital intake form.
Also the one that mapped the caves according to the geologist.

She was murdered, stabbed 30 something times and beaten to a pulp. Bacteria didn’t kill her.

She was killed by someone else going crazy with her, or defending themselves from her. She was stabbed with the crampons or something similar used for mountain climbing (or caving). Some of these were hanging on the door of Tagaq's cabin...

true. they are unleashed over there. i think they are pissed because they defended the show against the anti-woke police before the season started, and now they feel sold out. they are letting the show have it.
they were right about it not being woke. i think they just didnt expect that it would be such a shitty show.

It's hilarious that when the dust settles on this mess of a show, Issa Lopez will have no one to point the finger at other than herself. I mean showrunner, writer and director. Woof. It's funny to go back and read articles from when the show was first announced.

“We are tremendously excited to return to the True Detective franchise and to be working with the multi-talented Issa López, whose singular vision for her Night Country installment will be beautifully realized with Jodie Foster and Kali Reis in the starring roles,” said Francesca Orsi, executive vp HBO programming.

Ugh, this is what I had gotten worried about after episode 3. Really wanted this season to pan out but…
Glad the author touched on the pacing. Seems like way too many gimmicks in this season: the isolation of the town, the scientists vs the miners vs the locals vs the natives, big Anchorage vs small Ennis, spiritual visions/ghosts in a series that hasn’t ever really gone that far down the road. And then you throw in the extended days of darkness and we have nothing to really measure time against. It subtly flashes each date at the beginning of an episode but beyond that… I have no clue what time of day things are happening or when cutaways are happening in reference to other events.

It's just such a missed opportunity. The setting, location, cast, budget - all the makings for a good story to flourish on screen. All squandered.
I mean a small thing like lack of cell service could be huge in a setting like this, but no one ever loses service or worries about not being in communication. Even the cops just call each other on phones and not radios.

this COULD have been used to the show's benefit by making the audience feel disoriented as part of the plot. as it is, it IS disorienting, but only inasmuch as the entire show is disorienting. one of many missed opportunities.
also, in last night's episode, did they even address the fact that it was suddenly light again? does the period of darkness actually end on Christmas morning? that seems a little on the nose.

I spent about 20 minutes on there and I was fricking rolling.
1 in 20 posters were trying to defend, it too.

Not full on light, but you do get glimpses of some light during the night seasons up there. Its just not every day and is in shorter stints.

Imagine how pissed off people would be if an episode of season 1 ended that way

shoehorning the title of the season into the dialogue in general - oof.
should do another one with Childress saying
"Those two guys look like a couple of..."
looks at camera
"true detectives."
