😂 haha agreed!
@@bloomingnut23I just want to see the truth before us original fans of season one die. Another 10 years to tie season one, four, and hopefully a finale season? Stop the tap dancing.
Navarro
If you don’t see just how amazing this season is … bend over incel 🍑😘🤣
17:11 he isn't climbing down, but up.... running from something behind him, climbing to save his life... look at his haircut, how could you have missed that??
Thought Liz was finally doing something nice for Pete. Lets him stay in a cold ass shed with no bed 😂
To be fair, she did offer to let him stay in her house earlier and he said no cos he believes it would fast track a divorce.
I think she had a gut feeling Hank was following her and wanted Pete there to see it. So he could see who his father truly was.
@@lov34lif31the thing about that is, he already figured out who his dad was which is why he ended up moving to the shed in the first place.
@@jrowewilliams98 originally he was going to stay at his dads. He didn't take the key till Danvers basically made him do it. She was still in the process of showing him his fathers true colors. She knew Hank was being sneaky and corrupt. She also knows how Pete is treated by his father.
he's gonna slide into her bed like Navarro slid into her dude's bed
The dad saved him from the ice + water, and the son will end up burying his father in it.
I thought that was quite ironic.
Then: his dad took thier eyes of him and he disappeared through the ice. Now: his dad took his eyes off him, and everything disappeared
Hank murdered Heis in cold blood and reminded Pete that he needed to stay loyal to blood as he was about to commit his 2nd murder of Liz. He was a crooked cop to boot and Pete did the right thing by stopping the cold blooded murder of Liz. Hank was about to shoot TWO unarmed people, shot Heis in the back too. The real irony was when Hank said, "I am NOT a killer..." which meant was he WAS going to kill Heis and anyone else who got in his way.
🎵 It’s ironic
He had the boom, she had the chronic
The Lakers beat the SuperSonics 🎵 😀
Ahh. That's what that goofy side story from Hank was for.
Everything comes back around. lol
Julia's breakdown episode at the bar is probably a deleted scene, cause when Navarro checks her in at Lighthouse, she received a call from a guy telling something happened at the bar and she would have to go there. Probably was this scene that got cut off eventually.
It's so obvious that this was a deleted scene (likely before she was picked up by Danvers) and I don't know why our channel host won't let it go.
I was wondering what happened to that scene!
I am guessing that in the cave, you can travel through time. But you end up in Winden, Germany.
Well done
This is a dark theory.
Ich bin du!
Back to 1985
33 years in the future...
Its that thing where you're caught up in an avalanche, but your OCD ain't having a pile of unfolded clothes next to your frozen body.
Or, a group of dudes trying to play naked in the snow, caught up in a sudden avalanche from a mysterious ghost mountain. A person with OCD coming around seeing the haphazardly thrown around clothes and folds them. Mystery solved!
The cleaning lady with missing fingers folded the clothes, she’s going for employee of the month
All good points. This is stupid writing. Haha
I find it interesting that the Wheeler case photos were flipped considering we’ve been dealing with a LOT of other mirrored imagery all season.
Getting good. Character are creating feelings. Kayla is a childish pain , Hank is a shill. Leah is conflicted, Liz is seeking the right path, Navarro is focused, etc. finally!
Oh yeah🤔
Kayla acting like a immature pre teen
Liz and Navarro taping Raymond Clark looks like it will mirror the William Wheeler incident
@@autk
i think they failed to explain in the show that what peter said to her about regretting having a kid too soon is all true. and this is why she reacted by kicking him out of the house. but they basically failed to write this plot line better. she got called out and couldn't handle it, because the entire time, she's been making it out like peter is the only one being irresponsible by being home less and less when she herself would rather just be a doctor or a nurse and basically be tied to a demanding job the way peter is.
Pete is given keys to Liz's shed which is slightly warmer than my ex's heart. 😂
I don’t think he would have stayed in the shed. Liz worded it that way so it wouldn’t look too personal.
I think Darwin’s drawing is being overthought. He’s just drawing what he has seen. His Mom is a nurse and Grandma takes him to the laundromat. He sees the women of Ennis, some who have been abused (punched in the eyes) and some who have lost fingers, like Blair. His drawing isn’t of Sedna.
I think the women of Ennis killed the scientists .. flash froze them at the crab packaging plant, then used a forklift from the plant to drive them out on the ice. We see a forklift at the beginning at Tsalal too (episode 1 when Danvers arrives and is talking to Hank). It’s Blair’s handprint in episode 2.
There’s nothing supernatural going on here. Just women fed up with men, fed up with the mine, the faked data and the loss of their children.
This seems plausible…
So the Tuttles reference is a red herring, the spiral Cult doesn't exist, season one tropes were cheap plot devices...just fed up women... pathetic writing if that's the case.
@@autkwell my other theory is that the babies aren’t dying, they’re being sold and the tunnels are the smuggling system. They had to get rid of Annie and the birthing centers because she’s a midwife and wouldn’t lie about babies dying.
Navarro thought she saw a kid on the ice before she hit her head and she heard “help us!”.
@@pixiebellshop okay, see I'm looking for real malevolent evil, the spiral cult in season one was real evil doing horrible satanic things to children, the most heinous of things, and to use the spiral cult imagery and lore ...where are they? Who are they ? cant be just "we've had enough of crappy men" group ...if they uncover a real evil group of women engaged in some horrific ritualistic behavior making up the spiral Cult in Alaska then maybe we have some kind of connection to the real evil of season one, but how would they be connected to the Tuttles? I think it's a mess, but we shall see what lies ahead.
@@pixiebellshop This would be fucking insane if true! The anxiety it gives me to think about…
Wonder if the caves were a dumping ground for waste.
Of course it is. The ice caves are the inner heart of the region. The pollution and its consequences are the inner heart of the conflict. They mirror each other like so much of the imagery in the season. It is the hidden danger within, just how the persona of Sedna is a mirror of Navarro and that same motif of the hidden danger within. It is that "corruption" that symbolically infects the people of the town. Virtually every relationship in the series has an aspect of this idea. It feels very much they are tapping into some Jungian symbolism there and detailing the Shadow archetype in each person, place, and event in the series. The show has been working towards that inevitable conflict with the Shadow where the characters, events, and locations must confront whether they will emerge triumphant, free of it's grasp and forever changed or the only other, more tragic, option. That remaining option is not only to be consumed by the Shadow, but subsumed by it. Replaced completely by that dark side, never to be free of our worst nature.
Yes pollutants are being funneled through ice caves and leaking into the water supply and that is what they are trying to cover up. The business entities will be liable for all the wrongful deaths in the town and covering up of the murder of Annie bc she found all of this out which was the cause of her death
That’s what I think too
Or drug lab.
yeah, its mining pollution.
I guess thats more important than staying out of prison
go clean ur dad up, we gotta bounch, yo, only 1 episode left - we gotta hurry!
One little tweak: Connelly is based in Anchorage and running for office there.
He needs funding to run. He needs connections to win. He sold his soul for power.
YEP, that was my thought also, mayor of Anchorage would be slightly more presitgous than mayor of Ennis
I could be totally off, but I think the Wheeler storyline is over. I don't think we're ever going to find out who actually pulled the trigger because it doesn't matter. At the end of the day, he was a POS who deserved what he got, and Navarro and Danvers did the world a favor. I also think Pete agrees with that. He wanted to know what really happened, but I don't believe he would have ever used that information against either one of them. That whole storyline only existed so that Hank and Connelly would have leverage over the two women, and that's part of the reason that they're "going rogue" and not getting Connelly involved. Connelly has the power to put them away for life and they are determined to find out what happened to Annie and the scientists. How much Connelly actually knows about the mine and the lab and the dirty water and Annie's death...I'm still not sure about, but if he knows anything at this point (and it seems that he does), then he's enemy #1 going into the final episode.
I could be wrong and they could flashback and show us what really happened to Wheeler, but there are so many unanswered questions, I just don't know how they're going to fit everything into one episode.
So, is it a series about "With my enemy in bed"? Let's see!!!! Still not convinced that he's #1 enemy LOL.
Yeah when Prior was grilling Liz and he didn’t ask which one of them actually pulled the trigger I figured they weren’t going to actually explain what really happened. At least not out loud, maybe in a flashback we’ll see the truth.
@@LAZISH I don't think he's enemy #1. I know that's the term I used, but I didn't mean that he actually killed Annie. I just think that he's going to be a major obstacle for them. He's in a position of power so he could easily kill them and make up some BS story to cover it up. And no one else seems to care about Annie or the scientists, so if Navarro and Danvers are gone, it's pretty much smooth sailing for the people who committed the murders.
The woman running the mine isn't that powerful...At least not on her own. She's only been able to get away with what she has because the cops are protecting (and even helping) her. Now that Hank is out of the picture, I think she's going to tell Connelly, "You need to take care of this." So he's not the final boss fight, but he's the next one. He might be one of those annoying enemies where every time you get close to finding something out, he pops up and you're like, "Ugh! Not this guy again." LOL
I've noticed in this episode in particular the police badge for Ennis has a big bear and baby bear on it. In the show the only people that's seen the big bear missing the eye was Navarro & Danvers in "visions". My theory is the big bear is mother nature (Sedna) and the baby bears are Danvers & Navarro who will eventually solve the case and shut down the mine bringing balance back to nature. Navarro & Danvers are the only to 2 to see visions and hear things but I do think Navarro's family mental health past is also a thing as given with her sister & mother. This finale better give us more answers than questions.
Why does the bear only have one eye? And the girl with the patch? Only seeing part of the story? Are they pirates?
The only thing I am positive of is that we are going to have a lot of unanswered questions by the end of the season.
@@dianegreyson8787 That is exactly what I was thinking and I think the whole Tuttle connection is just a false trail to get people to watch the show. First the spiral if we go by the first season was some kind of cult symbol, then it was something very ancient so old, in fact that it was older than anything else around them I think. Then we all thought it was some kind of great clue, and now it just turns out to be, a warning symbol so that hunters don’t drown in the ice? I read someplace that the person who is in charge of this season is purposely going to leave lots of unanswered questions, but will make the person who watches it wonder what was real and what was not real. If that’s true, I think it’s a real dumb idea because what made True Detective season one so good was the fact that while there was some room for interpretation, I felt like the story was very grounded in reality. Plus the setting is got to be one of the most depressing places I’ve ever seen. It’s definitely not in northern exposure, if you know what I’m talking about. Anyway, I agree with you 100%.
@@dianegreyson8787 I agree with you too.
@@genreonlinenet To bring in the Tuttle connection and sprial symbol, and not connect any dots at this point, is beyond frustrating. It's intellectually dishonest towards fans like us, who did the deep introspective dives that season 1 provoked. It's an absolute slap in our faces to lead us on in this way. The quality of media continues to get worse and worse. I'm thankful I grew up when I did, because these people in this thread saying how great the show is will continue to defend bad writing.
Yup! Started so well ... the last 2 episodes were weak. Let’s hope for magic on the last episode!
@@ajontebush6629 That last episode with Rust saying The Light was winning was poetic. Perfect ending. I wish they left it alone.
And Rust pops up when the night ends saying “it looks to me like the lights winning”!
Also notice that Liz has 4 stars in the trailer scene to her normal 3 stars. So it’s definitely in the future and she got promoted
hmmm because she also has 4 stars when shes was talking with Peter! 5:12
Look at the clip at 4:08. Had to check, but, yeah, Liz has 4 stars already. That would've been a nice catch, tho.
I'm loving this season so far but to be honest, they're rushing the resolution. My guess is the original treatment was more than 6 episodes in length and the show-runners were forced to trim it down by the studio due to budgetary constraints, which would be unfortunate if true.
Think it's just a pacing issue. Parts have often felt way too slow moving, even if the story is gripping.
They’ve certainly got a lot left on their plate. But they’ve done so very well so far, I’m eager to see how they pull off the finale.
It was dumb to make Hank the bad guy out of nowhere just because hes a white male
And to have a bigger moment than the climax of solving the case in ep 5, lol
Lotta problems with this season. It started off good, then went straight downhill.
@Scorch428 can't be that dumb for a white man in alaska to be a villain, but tbf their the directors so I'm guessing they know better than a moaning bum on youtube
@@Drifter1981-x7p very doubtful. they already hit their quota of white males on the show.
Or do you think thats why they killed off Hank? to make room for one more?
He's running for mayor of Anchorage, not Ennis.
There are so many questions to be answered... this episode blew me away, I cant wait for the finale
Itd be like if in TD: season 1 final episode if on the way to track the bad guy in the cave, God descended upon Rust and said, "I will now tell you the meaning of life" and Rust is like, "Sorry, out the way, God, I gotta solve this case!"
You cant have a bigger climax in episode 5 than you do in the entire series climax....it just comes off as a comedy.
I feel like I'm in the twilight zone here. This is one the most poorly written, clichéd, poorly acted detective shows I've ever seen. Can't believe HBO even aired it. It's barely a Netflix caliber show
@@beefsupreme694 Im a massive Jodie Foster fan, so I think thats a piece of why I love the show.
@@Ichigostrawberrys Jodie Foster is why I gave it a chance(knowing full well by now they will never get close to the magic of season 1), and she certainly does the best she can with such low quality telenovela level writing, but not even she can save this . Surprised she took on such a crap project
We can’t wait for the finale either. That means it’s over.
I said it weeks ago, I knew unequivocally that Hank was somehow someway involved in Annie’s death and/or Cover-up. What I didn’t anticipate, was McKinnack being involved as well, but not surprised.
Yes that was very obvious. He was clearly burying evidence
Something interesting better be in those caves! I swear if the caves are a red herring or a metaphor I will lose it! My current theory is that there are frozen bodies or toxic waste hidden by tsalal for silver sky mining. I think annie found something or someone in the cave and was discovered by raymond but I dont think he killed her.
If it's just toxic waste I'ma be pissed
What’s this she’s awake thing?
I have a feeling we're going to be disappointed.
However, there is the spiral thing still, and it does seem like we're being tied back to Season 1 somehow.
But I don't see a good way they can pull it off. Tuttle family's motivations weren't simple financial evil. They were the real deal evil. Then we have all the weird stuff back Raymond's trailer, and we've yet to figure out what all of that really means.
It feels like there were re-writes happening late into the game here.
@@dianegreyson8787 Lets say that's true. Why would they be putting them in the caves? And no matter what, it makes no sense why Tuttle's evil occult stuff would be connected to the mine. Plus it's a ridiculous coincidence that Russ from S1 might be tied to Alaska where Tuttle family is up to no good?
@@drownthepoorthis is exactly my dissatisfaction...it feels like we've been had, used by season one lore and then left wanting because they can't explain it...where are the cult members? Who are they? Who scared the scientists to death?? Agree totally with your viewpoint I've been right there where you are since episode 2 left us hanging.
What if Annie K knew about the mine’s connection to Tsalal and flirted with Clark just to get more information on the work being done in Tsalal. The other scientists were in on killing her after she found the caves. Clark was hurt but threatened by the other scientists and the mine about speaking of what happened. Clark alienated himself after that…
I’m on board with this theory
Who is the woman they awoke that they are all scared of then?
Plus, the weirdness goes back 30 years and counting when Otis had a similar incident as the tsalal people. We need them answers now!
re: I think the Annie K case is real but the scientists died from supernatural shit. i.e. Annie’s spirit seeking revenge.
@dianegreyson8787 Yes, but I also think cohle and Rose look like they could be related, oddly enough. Also, Rose is alive as she's not imaginary in a lot of ppls theories due to her always changing clothes and such. The spirits do not change clothes ever on the show nor do ghost need to. I think that bear was stabbed in the eye with the same object Annie was killed with as well, pretty star shaped and its hard to think just snow boots/cleats would penetrate deep enough to puncture leaving fatal wounds. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a part 2 to the series season 4 as they have already broken the anthology rule. Then again, probably not. A lot to still need to be answered and too much to type of what I think will happen.
An interesting thought: Remember back in episode 1, when Prior found his son drawing the image of what is supposed to be Sedna? Priors wife mentioned that she had to drop Darwin off at her Grandmothers laundromat so she can look after him. This is the same laundromat in which Blair was recently spotted at in this episode. Blair is also missing fingers, just as seen in the drawing. Take that for what it’s worth, because I have no idea how Blair seems to be connected to Tsalal. Hopefully we get a satisfying ending with the final episode.
She is the ritual person in the series like Childress in s1. They are probably holding ceremonies to Sedna in the tunnels.
Read my comments above. I think the women of Ennis has a tight bond and they killed the scientist. The laundromat is their meeting place.
Was Blair one of the cleaning ladies at Tsalal?
@@jasonlloyd33Yes.
Blair is also shown with a damaged eye. She's dirty!!
Day 6 into withdrawal is no way to deal with heavy stuff man
Hang in there I’m 6 years in it gets better brother
I HOPE you are referring to the character on the show. If not I feel for you!!! 3.5 years clean... It gets A LOT easier! Suboxone can be a lifesaver!!! Do whatever works but, I swear it does get easier!
Man I've been dopesick a handful of times this past year(working heavily on quitting). I'm happy our guy Otis at least got himself well before he had to go out like that
2.7 years sober, brother. Life honestly gets so much better and more enjoyable the further you get away from that last use!! Meetings and minimal Suboxone is what did the majority of the heavy lifting for me. From there the long term lifting has been the fear of ever feeling sick again, of losing the two companies I now have/founded, and most of all, of full custody over my 5 y/o son being threatened. I just could never go back with all the work and blessings I've gained. If you keep consistent and focused, I am telling you it will be the same for you! Every recovering addict I know seems to have bigger and bigger success/achievements with every year of clean time they earn. The hard part has passed. You got this.
PS if your comment had anything to do with the scene of Otis using, then another suggestion I tell others is for the first 6-12 months, avoid any media that shows substance abuse if your DOC is the substance. I did this after watching 'The Dirt' (Motley Crew movie) my first month and not liking how it made me feel. I am good now but definitely give it some time.
that’s why Liz got him the good stuff
Rose being a vision would have been great. But in that case she would always depend on Navarro to appear. She was mentioned in the radio. Also, she has an independent POV.
The Rose Aguineau could be a ship. The show runner did say she was highly influenced by stories like that of The Mary Celeste.
Peter says that Rose found something on the ice. she’s real
This season totally deserved the standard 8 that the rest of the seasons got. Would really love more!
Hank/Henry: I am not a killer.
Then shoots (using Danver’s gun) the drug induced guy…..point blank w/o even trying to knock him over or something. Just kills. And almost kills again. Many ‘killers’ say they ain’t killers, but they are.
Nah he used his weapon, he put Liz weapon in his belt line in the back
As much as I wanna say it's bad writing because the show is littered with it.... eh he kinda broke at that point.
@@Light_910this is a throw shit against the wall and see what sticks. Underwhelming is an understatement. Thankfully you’re at least acknowledging there are so many subplots that go nowhere and like they said episode 4 cliff hanger turns out to be ……. They just don’t bring it up. The show Lost did this but much better writing. This I thought was 10 episodes. 6 is normal more or less for this series but like you said only doing 6 the last episode better be 2 hours or this is gonna be laugh out loud bad.
@littlewing6231 I wanna know how the freakin' coast guard almost immediately found the sister's body lol
@@littlewing6231 I don't know how I feel about S4 to be honest. None of the characters are really like-able, and the writing doesn't feel like there's a real vision behind it. It almost feels like they started filming and realized an error they had made, and have edited or re-shot around it. Also the attempts to tie this back to Season 1 seem like a very odd choice. The capitalism-bad, mkay mining company, Tuttle Corp, and evil spiral plus Russ's father/mother?
That alone would be a huge coincidence, but there doesn't seem to be a real occult thread here at all.
Everyone claims there's nothing supernatural in True Detective, but the ending of S1 did have a semi-supernatural nod with Russ's vision.
The setting is good. The characters are all kind of weak, and the plot is even weaker.
Loving this season!!! I was so worried that Hank was going to shoot Pete! Agh!
It was Rose. She is a Tuttle. In episode 2 we see Rose in the reflection when rolling a cigarette which confirms she is real. We do not know her real name, but Agineau is her last named similar to “ageau” which means lamb in French. In Epi 1 we see her cleaning a wolf implying she is the apex predator, yet we see her during the show as a caring old lady. The meal she prepared on Christmas Eve was lavish implying she has money and we know was able to quit her job in academics to move to Alaska. We don’t yet know who actually owns the mine and I don’t think we can rule out she is the actual owner of the mine as a Tuttle.
its interesting.
They mention a company something Tuttle in one of the first episodes
poor Ottis man. I was really rooting for him.
If we assume Clark and Blair are references to the The Thing 1982 Clark was innocent, and Blair not so much.
Nothing made sense in this episode. And as an attorney, the ending scene is actually laughable. There is nothing to “cover” because the shooting was evidently justified. The fact that three cops together can’t even begin to think of a reason to justify the shooting is absurd. Moreover, by “covering up” this nonexistent crime, they also get rid of any evidence of Hank’s corruption and culpability.
Hank's mail order bride is gonna wish she
was on that earlier flight, when she finally arrives and finds Hank has died. Haha ! 😂
yeah, i was expecting that reverse bait n switch
She was never gonna come.
I feel like that was unnecessary part to add in like was it just to show a human side of the character that he could be so lonely that he falls for cat fish/send me money love scam? I thought that would somehow connect like he was being controlled by someone in town thru cat fishing him into thinking some foreign girl
Okay, okay, TD season 4, episode 5 redeems itself, from the dying embers. This was by far the most explosive and telling of the series. Prior Jr, the unsung hero.
You're easily entertained
I dont get the Rose theory? she literally called the police and the younger cop acknowledged it was her who called
They could just show a flashback of Navarro making the call while in a trance, faking the voice.
I agree, although I always thought it was weird how come Danvers never questioned Rose about how *exactly* she discovered those bodies, especially since Danvers doesn't believe in ghosts.. I mean that *hey, my dead lover showed me the way" testament alone would have been more than enough for her to arrest Rose. Unless Rose is real and told her "I was just having a walk and stumbled upon them", and they simply skipped that part for us.
Rose being a hallucination of Navarro who has her own hallucinations about Travis in a scene that doesn’t feature Navarro would be pretty weird
Yeah, I gotta agree with that.@@rob.parsnips
How the ffff are they wrapping allllll of this up in one more ep 😐🙄😒🤔
Yep, I wonder that too....
Unless they do a first and connect the open-end finale to the next season
@@idcjake10 I don’t think we need another season of this. All we needed was 8 episodes lol
@@rizzlerazzledazzle oh we definitely don’t lmao
They do a season 2. They all die
I was genuinely excited in the first two episodes, but after episode 3 the show started losing me. Not sure how to feel about this season…
Same
How has the series lost you?
@@guinnesstrail6799 She's in the Night Country now.
@@guinnesstrail6799you aren’t asking the right questions.
@@CosmicPhilosopher ngl that was kinda funny😂
LOVED THIS EPISODE AND LOVED YOUR BREAKDOWN! Greatest season since the first. Easily stands on its own and great atmospheric detective story. Ty for the breakdown and TY for the creators knocking it outta the park!
Really? I thought this was the worst season by far!
You said Peter always chooses Liz over family. He is a cop and it is his JOB to work when he is called in, obviously being on call is part of his responsibility. His wife knew that so kicking him out is on her, not him. The fact that Navarro’s face is already free of bruising a week later is just bad writing. Her bruises would have been yellow in a week’s time. And Peter shot his dad bc he shot Otis and he then turned his gun on Liz. What was he supposed to do just stand there while his extremely corrupt father shoots two people in cold blood??? Again, he didn’t choose Liz he did the morally correct thing by stopping another murder. The decision to not call Connelly confuses me, why would Peter go to jail for shooting a man who shot one person and then turned his gun on the chief of police? I guess they feel Connelly is too corrupt to trust but in the real world Peter shooting his dad would be justified.
Hank said he’s not a killer and ended up killing Otis anyways that was cold.
Hank was so annoying and dumb
Great catch on Blair in the laundromat. Poor Peter and yes Rose still doesn't seem real. Banger of an episode (literally); psyched for the finale. The spiral is a warning not supernatural, human evil after all we'll see.
So the killer had less than two minutes of screen time and maybe 50 words, hope they can write better than that
Navarro takes note of Blair, so it has to mean something. Right?
@@dianegreyson8787maybe they are all Cult members?? Yeah that's a reach but whom are the members, is there a Cult? Who scared the scientists to death? They didn't just die due to exposure... it was cardiac arrest, scared to death, by whom or what? Much to explain in ep 6 or not depending on how good or horrible the writers try to tie this off.
Cuz she recognized her from the crab factory.
The problem with this season is that they’re not following the story. They branched off into everyone else’s personal lives and left the story behind. The frozen guys in episode 1 was interesting but they are not really looking into that case. 😢 no suspense not warnings or bad omens of things to come it’s pretty flat. There will never be a season like season 1
Quick rant;
the whole "Wheeler was left handed, that means he was murdered" is a fallacy that I've seen twice now in detective shows (Sherlock did it as well).
I'm left handed. If you gave me a handgun or a rifle, I'd hold it in my right hand.
Then you’re ambidextrous
@@helenespaulding7562 Nope. I can't write or draw with my right hand.
Kinda like in baseball, you throw right handed but put the glove on yr left hand to catch
It was such a cliche mystery trope 😒
Exactly. People shoot with both hands all the time. Handedness does not necessarily equate to which hand would pick up a gun. This truly annoyed me.
So I appreciate you so fucking much. Literally out of the mass amount of react/break down videos YOURS are by so so far my favorite. You’re brilliant and make me laugh! Keep it up bro!❤❤
-I think the ending will be a combination of sci-fi & reality
-There's something in the water that is definitely affecting the entire village. Have they even tested it? Even though its not consumed, it still makes skin contact. It's making all emotions run high; additionally the stresses from their own lives, past & present & the current events.
-Navarro suffers from PTSD both from childhood & military experience. She may also have inherited some of her mom & sister's mental illness as well, hence her visions.
-Danvers also suffers from loss & abuses alcohol to numb her pain, but this only enhances the poison in the water, hence her visions.
-The scientists had indeed found the Everlasting Gobstopper to the secret of life. And they wanted to test it. But they needed a subject. Enter Annie K. She wanted to go to Tsalal to see if they had a connection to the mines to use against them. Clark drew her in, but then they fell in love. The others killed her & made it look like a warning for her protesting the mine. Just as Kate instructed.
-She's Awake! Annie K. has been resurrected from her beaten body. But she's no longer Annie, she is now Sedna. The scientists may have indeed died from a 'slab avalanche', but I think Senda caused it.
- In the Wheeler case, I think Navarro shot him & Danvers covered it up. As for the fate of Danvers, she may die after falling through the ice. She already knows too much about the Tuttle ownership of the mines & would most likely be murdered by them. However, she would be reunited with her child & husband.
-As for Navarro, she may escape, but not in a way we will expect. Blair might have something to do with this.
Finally, someone else saying Annie is back 🎉🎉
But I think her motive for getting into the mine was spookier. She didn’t have those dreams in high school that went away with the spiral tattoo just to end up as an environmental activist with nothing else going on. She was called down into those caves, by whatever voice called to her in her youth. Remember the cleaning lady who said she was “obsessed” with getting into Tsalal?
And I don’t think the researchers are nearly as sinister as all that. I don’t know how she died, but I think Clark found her body in the caves, took her phone, took her tongue (no idea how it would end up in the lab otherwise), and used the tongue as a source for a cell culture to regrow her using the spooky microbe that turns dead people into live monsters, and that’s where the Sedna mythology came from in the first place
If this Blaire woman is the key to the solution, its beyond underwhelming. The character has been on screen for 5 minutes and out of nowhere she's pivotal? It's like a murder mystery in which the murder is a character that shows up 5 pages before the end.
Said this for weeks on another site
In season 1, Errol Childress only appeared in one scene through almost the whole season (the one where Rust talks to him briefly while he was mowing the lawn), and the dirt on his face obscured his scars. He doesn't appear again until the end of episode 7, when Pappania and Gilbough see him mowing by the river and ask him for directions, at which point we get the first clear look at his face and realize he is the man with the scars Marty and Rust have been looking for. It would not be the first time that TD revealed a tertiary character as the centerpiece of the mystery at the 11th hour, and it worked before.
Everyone is pohuj
In the scene where Navarro throw Julia's ashes in the sea I got the impression that the shot was emphasizing how the ashes were turning the water black and looking like the dirty water. Maybe hinting that is some type of ash making the water black. I don't know if it makes senss tbh.
1:50 Ottis survived because of heroin use
2:13 Nature
3:00 She might have released the bacteria on the scientist.. maybe..
4:20 He is the abused spouse, gender reversed, a subplot that is seen throughout the show, and also might be used to explain why Blair would have released the bacteria on the scientists
14:02 "watchout, behind you!", maybe ? That would be too phantasmagorical..
14:56 right, and it makes it easy for the cops to relativize the scientists doing the same with Annie K's body (I believe she fell, instead of being murdered).
Annie was stabbed many times, kicked, stomped on, etc. Did you not see the crime photos? Murdered.
Mystery is WHO actually killed her?
We know why.
We know who moved her.
That's definitely Pete falling into the Ice cave, stumbling in at the last minute to make a huge discovery, that Danvers probly already knew about, but wanted to keep hidden, just like he's done throughout so-far. He's also reliving the childhood accident that his dad saved him from, which maybe will kill him this time since his dad's dead.
Cannot wait for episode 6, think it's the finale, might I add that I love the love and affection Qavvik shows Evangeline, and his patience...❤❤❤
I just assumed the blood was from those dudes beating the shit outta her. She’s had a fair amount of head trauma this season
Same. I thought the blood was from her beat down too
I think Connelly is running for mayor of Anchorage, not Ennis. Didn’t he come from Anchorage to collect the bodies? Mayor of Ennis would be a small, low paying job with little clout or political power behind it. Anchorage is a proper city that being mayor of would actually come with perks, a real salary, political power, and the ability to use it as a stepping stone to further his political career if acquits himself well enough as mayor.
Did it air early??
Yes because of super bowl
The blood could be from a high or really low pitched sound. If the right frequency can shatter a glass..
She got curb stomped by numerous men
The ending completely jumped the shark. There was no reason for the dad to shoot the junkie, at all. The writer just wanted that outcome and it was very obviously contrived. Him also going to shoot Jodie Foster's character was also stupid. Wasn't he merely offered a promotion to Chief or something? He's willing to murder two people to get promoted? WTF? Also, you don't shoot someone in the back of the head when they're on the ground if you're trying to make it look like you didn't execute someone.
As others have suggested, I worry that all of the season 1 callbacks (the ghost of Travis, the spiral, the Tuttles) are just a gimmick. They haven't mentioned Travis again I dont think, and it seems like writers cant figure out what the spiral is supposed to mean. Its everywhere, its an old powerful symbol, its the whale bones in the cave, its a hunters trick to warn of thin ice. I'm not sure they can tie all that together in a satisfactory way. And there isnt much more revealed about the Tuttles other than using their name as a synonym for evil. So yea, it just seems like they just borrowed that to get people's attention, which, if true, really sucks.
I think they are holding ceremonies in that cave. There is probably a fossil of a prehistoric sea creature that they use as an icon. Since this is a flip of season 1, the ritual person is a woman. It is either Blair or Rose.
Annie stumbled onto it. It could have been Clarke who blabbed to impress her.
Hmmmm 🤔 this does give blair a significant role without making her the killer. Maybe Sedna ties in after all and Blair cut off her fingers in a ceremony as like a tribute? But is she practicing, or was she and her chapter of the cult forced out by silver sky? Not sure. There must be some unearthly (or seemingly unearthly) power down there.
Waaaaaait - do the Tuttles know about this whole thing because of communications between chapters of the cult? Because I do want an explanation for how a Louisiana cult got into the Alaskan mysticism business.
The last episode will be 75 mts long as reported in a review by AV Club. I am hoping for the best as I have enjoyed this season thus far, but it has a lot to resolve like both Annie’s murder (the plant/factory killed, but who stabbed her) and how the scientists were killed. We know it wasn’t a freak storm, it doesn’t leave tidy piles of clothing.
I screamed when Prior did the thing, did not see that coming. Thought Navarro was going to clock the guy from behind or something, not what happened.
Me too! I felt bad I woke my dog up but I was shocked!
I knew Peter is going to shoot Hank, the moment Hank told him "blood is blood, family is everything" or whatever he told him. So obvious.
Blair was a character in The Thing.
Yeah and all the other names too and it's just abandoned...a cheap trick left as a plot device unexplained.
The logo for the mine company is a star shape 😮
Wish this season wasn't so bad. The pacing is notably worse than the others due to the shorter season length and it just isnt working.
its a little weird agree.
We go back to this each week and find ourselves falling to sleep at least two or three times during each episode. And that’s watching it in the middle of the afternoon. Hope we can stay awake through all of episode 6 or it will be the biggest waste of six hours we’ve had in a long, long time.
Terry and Darlene Farmer
It’s terrible… coffee and biscuits can’t even keep me awake.
Maybe you should see a doctor, you might have obstructive sleep apnoea.
@@jesser11 That’s it, the show brilliant, masterful at every turn. I’ll call on that doctor straight away. Im relieved to know its just me. Many thanks Jess.
I’ve really enjoyed this season, but I hope it can deliver on the last episode
FYI Peter would most likely not get brain damage by going under ice because water is so cold it suspends the body like they do for people when they put them on bi pass for surgeries. They cool the body so they don’t die. There are lot of recorded cases of people surviving going under water when water is cold and being completely fine.
No oxygen = brain damage
I’m pretty worried. There is a lot of plot points to wrap up. Hope it’s not all rushed.
Right because they had plenty of time to smooth out some these edges but they wasted it on music and driving. Too many filler moments and not a lot of plot in 5 weeks. This was too long fir only 6 episodes
It's been being rushed I think. It makes me nervous for the finale
I do think there is something supernatural going on in Ennis. I think some of the hallucinations the characters are having are based on their past guilts and what not, but I do think there some things that can't be explained that could be supernatural. "shes awake" definitely has a supernatural element to it bc why did Liz dream it too? I could see how it could be just a dream (or maybe a part of Navarro is waking up) if it was just Navarro who heard it but the fact that liz heard it too means something deeper and more supernatural! I'm also not watching as intently as others and maybe the writers want you to think it's supernatural at first glance but actually everything has an explanation. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!
Supernatural or close to it for sure, way too much funny business to just be toxic waste or split personality or any of these more mundane theories going around
Episode 6 has got a lot of 'splaining to do
Said this exactly on another site! 🥂
I don't usually nitpick things like this, but I couldn't get past the lack of signs Navarro had been brutally beaten the previous day. She was a mess, then the next episode there were no signs that she'd ever been struck. This is just pure laziness in storytelling. I had thought a few weeks had passed between EP 4 and 5 because of how clean her face looked, but come to find out that all of this entire show has happened between Christmas and New years day.
6 days had passed
I just don't understand why these seasons have gotten so short. If they're going to pack so much into it, why not make enough episodes to do a really good job? We're watching... why not really satisfy us?
The last scene was almost exactly like the dear sister snl skit- it was so unintentionally funny
The shot where Otis is covering up his working eye that and all you see is the dead eye and addiction. He looks like golem. Hands-down the best shot in this season so far.
Could the She in "She is awake" refer to a cave? If the ice caves are storing something that is slowly leaking into the water, could one describe this as the cave cave being awake/exploited?
I’ve seen a lot of metaphoric interpretations of the “she” in that phrase, and I really think they’re barking up the wrong tree. Reminds me of the guy who said during s1 that the yellow king was the sun 🧐🧐 I strongly expect “she” will be a human female. Pretty sure it’s Annie, revived with whatever power is down in those caves, be it supernatural or microbial.
Idk if this has anything to do with the story, but if you break down Rose’s last name, in French, it means act (agin) water (eau). Reverse the syntax and you get water act.
I'm glad you mentioned how you feel for Liz in regards to Leah... I was thinking all along what a problem she's been, and Liz is really trying to look out for her. I think Sheri leaving Leah to get beat/arrested pretty much confirms that Leah was getting wrapped up in "teenage" stuff, and acting out. I know the mine's pollution/etc is a problem, but protests like that don't lead to anything good. They suck up city resources dealing with them, and just put a target on your head.
this is the best " sum it up" channel I found so far on youtube
I so love this season❤. Thank you for the great breakdowns.
Rose is real,cop tells Danvers rose called it in ep.1-2...
They could just show a flashback of Navarro making the call while in a trance, faking the voice.
Idk I feel like some of my questions were answered. We know that they killed Wheeler, we know that Hank is involved with Annie’s death and how/why he’s involved, we know that there is indeed a coverup going on, we know that the mine is involved in Annie’s death and that Tuttle is involved with the mine, we know more about the spiral, we know what the Night Country is and that Clark has been hiding out there. All of that is not nothing imho.
Edit: Also, if Rose wasn’t real, wouldn’t have all the other people at the scene of the corpsicle been like “Novarro, who the fuck are you talking to???” after seeing her standing there talking to no one in front of the whole group??
It seems overall a bit better than s2, but nowhere close to s1 or even s3. The dialogues are very bad (b-movie level). It relies on supernatural aspects that do not seem to lead anywhere. NO DETECTIVE WORK by the leads! Everything is done by prior off the screen! Nobody cares about the scientist case, even though the clues are there from ep. 2 (how many hands missing two fingers may have touched the scientist clothes? No officer thought to look closer into the fingerprints?). It had some potential but it’s a very flawed series overall.
I completely agree. I don’t find these characters interesting at all
How did I miss eps#5? Was not it supposed to be on Sunday eves? What happened?
super bowl
Thanks for the review.
Stealing drugs from the evidence locker is also a call back to season 1, "there really ought to be a better system for this..."
There's a channel called Realify that straight up stole this video and reposted it with slightly altered audio pitch
This one

This season is a massive disappointment! It shouldn't even be called True Detective.
I finished the 5 episodes last weekend. Tbh I doubt the finale can reveal all the so-far-unanswered questions... Sadly the writing in this season isn't strong enough to hold the story... I ended up re-watching Season 1 afterwards.
Notice when hank tells the mine lady that the money is gone because he sent it to his scammer
I’m not against the Navarro is the killer theory, but how would Raymond/Liz be aware of her split personality waking up?
I mean, maybe you could argue Liz was picking up on it, and so she had a dream relating to it- but Raymond? We have no reason to believe they ever even met, let alone that Raymond would somehow know her personality was awake and to be afraid of it.
Absolutely love think story!!! Please never change or go away ❤
I think the spiral cave is actually a map that takes you to a red-curtained room, and when you escape , you find yourself maniacally laughing while asking "how's Annie?" while smashing the like button
New theory: Annie K was not murdered. She fell through the ice in a cave in while they were investigating the mine and the mine cut power when they saw them on camera. All of the marks are her friends trying to get her out of the ice. ( wolf guy, fingerless, and other guy). They failed. They panicked and had to leave the cave. Mine lady called in Hank to move Annie K because they couldn't have anyone snooping around the caves.
She was stabbed a lot!! And has various markings. So, she was killed, then moved. But why leave her where she could be found????
How did her tongue get removed and left in the research centre 6 years later.
Navarro said Annie was kicked. With multiple stab wounds. And I have seen it mentioned they wear ice cleats over their boots. The stab wounds are likely left from the cleats. I don't see her friends kicking her around.
@@h-dawg969they haven't even tried to explain that unless you believe Hank cut it out, he's the only one who touched her body, and why didn't he fall through unless he has been there regularly for nefarious purposes at Kate's order...writers have created a mess, will be interesting to see how they resolve or just gloss over like many other things they have done.
I thought it was much more likely that the scientists removed her body from where it was found by Navarro, or from the morgue and they experimented somehow and it's tied to the core samples and something they discovered in the ice after ep 2 but they've abandoned any possibility of that since...how are they going to get back to all that stuff Raymond Clark wrote on his notes Liz was looking at...super spooky stuff, now it's meaningless?? Ep 6 has too much to do to wrap it up with a bow imo
Didn’t hank say I didn’t kill her i just moved her..
With so much loose ends I bet we're not gonna get an explanation on
1. Why liz adopted two alaskan kids (her husband from the flashbacks was also white) or the significance of the polar bear with a ruined eye
2. The true native name of evangeline
3. The russian girlfriend
4. Why Pete got married early but neglects his family
5. Why the water only affects the locals but not the main characters
6. Why the police headquarters has a lot of tables but we only ever see the receptionist, hank, pete and liz.
I'm not the type to look for the significance of everything but why do they have to add so much fluff to the strory when it's going to be pointless in the end.
I'm gonna save this comment to return in the next and last episode, at least they have to show us who was behind that online girlfriend, it can't be real they even dedicated a full scene and left it like that when he died
They shouldn't have lost traction in ep 3 and 4, trying to wrap it up with a bow tie all too convenient... better have some brilliance in ep 6 dont see how they can do a credible job but here for the ride. Oh and Liz blew Wheeler away, knew it and those that said Navarro were wrong.
Well, well, well... turns out, did NOT shoot Wheeler
Did anyone notice the brief appearances of this guy at the riot at the mines ( I believe he works there)? Isn't he the guy that gave the info about the trailer of Clark?
Rose is real and I'm leaning towards her being the killer.
How did she single handedly scare all those scientists to death?
Whats the purpose of the mine? Seriously, Tsalal is giving good values and reputation, the Tuttles pay everything, the water is tainted with mercury, there is a lot of job thanks to the mine, they cover all the case and Ann death. I think they're looking for something underground no matter what.
I think the mine is a front for digging up spooky stuff. They need that kind of equipment, might as well set up shop to explain it and to have massive influence over the town.
This season has been a huge disappointment; horrible writing, horrible acting, terrible pacing, and just flat out boring.
@ThinkStory. Hi, are you also publishing your videos under the channel name Reelify or Reelify1? This exact video appears on that channel, too. Thanks for all of your excellent breakdowns!
I know these videos aren't easy but damn if you start making more i will watch and sure a lot others will too. Great videos man
I think "She" is referring to mother earth, and the Tsalal mine hit with something or did something wrong and illegal, for example causing chemical toxic compounds mixing with the towns water, that would explain also some animals that could potentially drink the water also have suicide tendencies and hallucinations.
It would be really unsatisfying if Clark is having seizures because mother earth is awake. That would just be unserious writing that doesn’t belong on tv. We can have a thematic interpretation of the phrase, but to Clark, it has to refer to something more concrete. People don’t pop out of seizures terrified and then speak in metaphors, and they definitely don’t go on the run and hide in ice caves so mother earth won’t find them
