when Kelvin was reading Judy's diary, she mentioned Dr. Carmicheal.



That was a callback to the scene at outback when she talked about molesting him and kidnapping his kid.

When first bumping it up to 75-76 in the AM, the a/c is at rest for a minimum of 3 hours.
In evening, when putting down to 71, it doesn’t take 3 hours of constant running to get back down.

So the 3plus hour break in the mornings saves $$$.


this isnt perfect math though


if you left it on 71 in the morning, it likely wouldn't have to run very much during that ensuing 3 hours, so by allowing the temp to rise from 71-76, you have saved way less run time than 3 hours

it would also depend on the amount of minutes per hour it would take to maintain 71 vs 76


I still think its cheaper to raise the temp, just saying your math isn't correct

I would venture to guess that most restaurants with decent "ambiance" aren't participating the uber eats program

28 is way too small for an 11 year old in my experience


I would think a 30-11 is probably the average size for that age, even if she is a little undersized.



OP, avoid the <$150 new bats, as they are basically overpriced junk. A good used bat is your best bet.

The real easton ghost bats are far and away the most popular, but also if you're buying used, they are the most susceptible to short lifes.

A demarini CF series bat is probably the best overall bat for a novice-intermediate player.

In the first episode, there was a shadowy figure meant to sort of jump scare us while the delivery driver was first discovering that the crew was missing.


Are we to presume that was Clark or the ghost of Annie k?

The scene reminded me of Rudy when the seniors walked into the coach’s office one by one.

Yeah, it was an akward scene and horribly explained. All of her photos had been flipped in the files, but was confusing about her highschool picture too.


The way I figured it was…

They intended to just mirror/flip the autopsy photo of wheeler but they inadvertently flipped all of the photos in the evidence file and that led to the discovery of her injuries/birthmark being wrong.

Navarro suddenly remembers her native name when she gets to the janitors house?


I thought she heard it during her desert vision. I think she said she never knew it earlier in the season.

I wonder how she’s going to learn to spell it.

I know it’s hard to poke holes in this masterpiece, but the whole talk about the pollution helping them get through the permafrost seems a little ridiculous.

They were drilling cores into solid ice, so not sure what the hell the mines water was doing to improve that.


Also was the baby crying the kid that Danvers ends up raising that dies?

Weird to focus on the baby crying with no explanation.

Why was the spiral in the cave where they were drilling?

Who the hell knows, it just looks cool, so we are gonna throw it in. Same with the trailer and the Annie doll.

Whose body had Ruth already sank?

Was that even relevant or am I just asking a pointless question?

I feel like there was a ton of pointless crap.

Still don’t really understand what killed the scientists since they didn’t show the signs of how a person freezes to death. I guess it’s just supernatural.

Haven’t seen it mentioned much but Navarros sister clearly placed her boots and clothes the exact same way the scientists clothes were found.

Who tf knows why, but just an observation

Seemed like he knew quite a bit and was frightened by it, so not talking about it certainly helps the situation, doesn’t it?
