True Detective

just stop making these please

 

look fellas the only way to get that miracle permafrost microorganism dna was to turn the big pollution dial to 11

 

Just so dumb throughout. Wasted a great setting and potential acting. Ep5 gave me hope but that was horrible.

 

92% on RT, sorry I don’t agree with seeing dead people and some ridiculous curing diseases in ice caves counts as good TV. Critics think they’re so much smarter than they actually are

that shit sucked

 

This was so bad oh my god

 

1/10

 

I give the season a solid meh.

Not aggressively stupid other than this:

but not particularly good either.

 

Premiere was solid

downhill from there

script sucked ass

you can’t end a detective show with some “whatever you think happened, happened” resolution

 

I've got 40 minutes left in the episode. Not feeling great about it, reading all of this.

 

They went from freezing in the research building with a fire to walking around outside with their coat to falling in the water and warming up by that same fire. Was it cold or was it not cold.

 

idk the otis heiss and oliver tagaq plot lines were pretty damn stupid

 

that horrible dangerous blizzard going on didnt leave a lot of evidence in the rest of town either

 

The Thing was much better at this.

 

I felt like this show has been getting worse and worse the longer I’ve watched it, but with about 20 minutes to go it’s really just become one contrived drama scene after another.

 

I don't think it was that bad, but in reading this thread, I don't think the primary themes are being followed by this thread.

 

agreed

 

Also they simply can not allow the characters to grieve their trauma in front of the camera without playing some dumbass song with dumbass lyrics

 

Really not a fan of the finale. But oh well. Not mad I watched.

Spoiler

the sporadic interrogation and their tactics were dumb and made no sense.

also, how long was that nap Danvers took so he could turn into a human popsicle?

 

Harry Potter's aunt is the best character

 

What exactly are the primary themes?

The ask the right question would have weight if there wasn’t so much nonsense. The spiral signal kinda added up I guess

 

That indigenous lives are treated as inferior, and violence against indigenous women are generally ignored and not investigated. the only murder or mystery that mattered this season was Annie K.

 

Did I miss something in the first five episodes that remotely pointed to a group of 15 women killing the scientists? Surely there was some clue or easter egg that had I been watching YouTube recaps I would’ve known about but it was just so goddamn random to me.

 

Damn I knew she seemed familiar but couldn’t put my finger on it

 

I do remember thinking it was odd how they showed that random lady’s reaction to the spiral in the first ep. It seemed very intentional. And I remember thinking it was kind of lame if that was some type of set up. And yea as far as I can tell that was the only scene that involved any of those women.

 

Not sure what that theme has to do with how bad this episode was

 

Something I listen to called the abuse victim being involved in the killings after episode 2 and 3 because she kept showing up even if just for a second.

 

Think I’d rather go into an ice cave than an underwater cave but fuck caves, being trapped in something is my worst nightmare

 

So, that wasn't Pazuzu that possessed the guy in the hospital??

 

Very confused that every single scientist joined in on Shitty AMC Show.

 

Evangeline was real because she existed in our hearts

 

So a bunch of maids killed a bunch of scientists?

 

didnt care for the 4 first eps, thought the last 2 eps were better but the scientists killing annie seemed incredibly dumb

would've been better if just the one person went crazy and when they tried to stop him it was too late

 

I also rolled the fuck out of my eyes when they said "time is a flat circle"

 

So did Navarro kill herself orrrrrrr??

That shit was whack

 

Wrong question!

 

That was utter cringe trash. Holy fuck all the women coming in one by one as she told the story I have a seizure disorder now from cringing.

This show has always been bloated with cheap psychotic mysticism and it's so bad

 

How tf did HBO sign off on this script and give it the True Detective brand

Better yet, Jodie foster signed onto this? As EP?

 

This was objectively better than season 2, don't think the True Detective name is the guarantor of quality you think it is

 

I was expecting something to explain all the ghosts/zombies/possesions. I guess we can assume it's the water and mental illness.

 

All of the scientists going "for science!" and murdering her ass without hesitation was very amusing

 

The explanation is that scientists and janitors have fucking had it up in Alaska

 

Nothing in this show made a lick of sense for even a minute. Wtf.

 

I think they were having a new years eve party. There were some balloons. Still, very strange.

 

This was the worst part of the episode for me. The rest of it was okay other than the “selective freezing” being too cold while dry but not too cold soaking wet.

the indigenous women killing the scientists was a better answer to the murder than “poison water” by a fucking mile.

 

Navarro hallucinated during the show and suffered from mental illness just like her sister (who we also saw hallucinate) and monther. That shouldn’t have been hard to follow IMO

 

The majority of the season made more sense than your Fan Of section.

 

I'm not confident this was mental illness, it seemed more like spirit realm shit. Navarro was told her native family name in a vision. Aunt Petunia was led to the corpses by a ghost. This show laid on the mysticism probably thicker than it should have.
