I was also confused who left the tongue, but they clearly explained the scientist - he locked himself inside the tunnel under the lab so the women couldn’t force him to go with the other scientists.

I think PP is referring to the scientist that’s in the hospital. Not Clark.

Yes, I was talking about the scientist who was in the hospital; pretty sure he had a seizure and died during the commotion with the hillbillies (they had the flatline sound effects), so they wouldn’t be able to question him anymore.

It was at least a few days he was frozen out in the ice with the rest. They just sort of abandoned that plot line.

So many random abandoned plot offshoots.
Did they run out of money? It’s the greatest potential but the stupidest season yet.

My friends all hated it. too woke.

This is such an incomplete observation. You need to be a lot more specific if you expect someone to understand what you’re trying to say here.

I understand. Actually I don’t. But I will pretend I do because you sound fing obnoxious

Great acting and a terrible story/writing - I was ready for it to end - it was so ridiculous - but still love Jodie and the rest of the cast. A waste.

Are you referring to the scientist Anders Lund? He had three limbs amputated and lost his eyesight? He was the first one of the scientists in the flashback to stab Annie. He was with the rest of the scientists when they were put on the truck and led out in the freezing weather, naked.

All the plot lines were wrapped up in the end. Every character was accounted for.

I actually think way more of this stuff goes on in real life than we are aware, with corporations setting up shell companies to fund bogus research that regulates them. It's not that far fetched.

Rolling Stone is a literary street walker.

The much maligned Season 2 was significantly better than this one. How on earth would these cleaning ladies manage to escape detection? Were there no security cameras anywhere? More on point, scientists come and go to these types of research centers. The guys that were there six years ago would never be there now. The whole concept is ludicrous and beyond the suspension of disbelief. I can go on and on about how terrible this season was. In fact, I cannot think of anything good, although Jodie tried.

I don’t care what the sellouts over at Rolling Stone have to say about it.

I disliked the ending. The two female detectives were not only incompetent, they murdered a suspect (the abusive husband) and covered up every other murder we saw in the show. If the one lady had all her fingers they never would have never figured anything out. The audience had the benefit of the flashback where all the scientist murdered Annie but nobody except the scientist knew that. The cleaning lady found a murder weapon six years later and decides the best way to seek justice is murder all the scientist, then in doing so doesn't even catch the one most likely to have killed her (the one everyone suspected). The only decent person turned out to be the bar guy.

Were we to think that Rose murdered someone in her prior life before Alaska?

This was a disappointment, but I'm the fool who watched every episode as it came out.

As has been said many times, the set up of a bizarre crime taking place and being investigated in the long Alaskan night is so good. Too many elements were crammed in for filler, and the worst of it is that the characters weren't compelling and I didn't care what happened to them.

Felt bad for young Prior.
Got tired of Navarro skulking around all pissed off.
Didn't buy Danvers as the clever detective that the first couple episodes were suggesting.
Annie K. never felt like a real person, let alone one who had connections to everyone in town.
Supernatural stuff was lazy.

Qavvik and his dogs were the heart of this show. That tells you how off the rails it was.

At least Qavvik got his toothbrush back

Oh, good. I will definitely make a point to watch it then. Thanks for the tip.

Er...you know this is True Detective, right? Morally ambiguous cops are a TD trademark.

Scientists do unethical things all the time, so, yeah, I don't find this story line unrealistic.
