Also, JF ask Navarro, where do you keep the cans now? Did you move them? So did they live together? How would one know where someone keeps their groceries?

JF told the old lady don’t doodle on my daughter so she definitely feels a connection to the daughter / stepdaughter.

What was the implication of the frozen leg moving in the ice? Just that it’s thawing? Coming back to live?

Who is the missing scientist?

The missing scientist is Raymond who was the boyfriend of Anna, who was wearing the pink coat, had the tatoo on his chest and bought the camper. He’s unaccounted for.

DP. Is Raymond the scientist who in ep. 1 returns to Tsalal and has what looks like a seizure, then says, "She's awake"? I am so confused, mainly because most of the scientists seem to be dark-haired bearded men and they all look alike.

YES, that is Raymond.

The swirly symbol is from previous seasons.

JF is not related to the two male cops. The younger babysat her daughter when he was younger (he mentioned it at the end of the episode). The relationship b/w Liz and Leah hasn’t been clarified.

Wait - WHAT?? How do you know this? So was that woman his mother (the woman who lives alone and saw Dead Travis)??

DP here. I read this somewhere too because in ep 2 the woman says his name is Travis Cohle (and that is the same last name as MM character in season 1). Also in season 1 MM says his dead father came to him (I think while he was in the the hospital) and that his father had lived in Alaska. Google it, there are a bunch of episode reviews explaining the connection but PP is correct.

I admit, I am really confused, but I am liking the show and I’m gonna keep coming back to this thread and luckily I’m watching with the H in between the two of us we’ve been able to piece through some of this.

Not to go back to the sex scenes… But I did have to laugh at how out of character it seemed that Judy Foster’s character was wearing a classic date night lacey bra. I feel like she would be more of a basic bra or sports bra type of gal. Especially if she’s just gonna go have sex with her socks on lol.

But maybe if you live in months of darkness and cold, you do little things to make yourself feel better.

I am a bit taken a back by the brashness and bigotry of Jodie Foster’s character. She makes several racist comments re natives to many characters in the two episodes (did you hear that from your spirit animal, laundromat grandma, you’re just a night nurse, and then her complete freak out over her step daughter getting sharpie fake tattoo marks). She’s a real bigot. I’m sorry if she has trauma, so what?!

None of those behaviors should be tolerated. She’s just an awful a-hole character.

Would you want your daughter to have a tribal tattoo on her face? I sure as hell wouldn’t. I’m pretty sure that would affect job prospects, no? There is nothing racist about wanting your child to adopt to the modern world they live in. Those Inuits seem to like that electricity and central heating the evil White man invented, no? Not tattooing one’s face is a small sacrifice for that trade.

It was a sharpie and facial tattoos on women (esp on the chin) are very significant. Listen to yourself. You’re terrible.

There is zero wrong with being a night nurse or working an honest job in a laundromat. The state trooper and her sister are both employees. The crab factory and the mine have Inuits working there. How exactly is the step daughter not living in the modern world. You are disgusting in your bigotry. Really, really awful.

I’d like to say it is b/c I remember from watching season 1 ten years ago… but really I read a couple of different recaps and they all pointed these things out.

Honestly, I want to do a rewatch of season 1 now.

What’s really, really awful is what a phony you are. Simple question and try to be honest although I doubt you can be because of the cognitive dissonance involved: would you want your daughter to get a tribal facial tattoo? Yes or no.

Depends on if she is Inuit. If so, absolutely. If not, no.

I have no idea. If she was Inuit, and it was part of her culture (which signifies womanhood) then if that is what she wanted then ok. But Jodie Foster is no mother to that girl based on the 2 episodes we’ve seen. It seems she’s her stepdaughter and that her father was Inuit (based on the flashbacks). What has JF been doing to support her stepdaughter’s culture, other than insult every single native character with whom she has interacted on the show. Every one.

Well the trooper told her no one liked her. Jodie is playing the character perfectly.

Like the points made upthread about the scientist still being alive, and everyone seemingly calm about the giant "corpsicle" of naked men with exploded ear drums, burnt eyes, and wounds from biting their own flesh. Yeah, Pete, just sit next to it and watch Tik Tok. And everyone would be drinking a lot more than they are.

I'm thinking there is some microbes or toxins in the water or gases from the mine and everyone is mass hallucinating.

I laughed.
