Or Danvers entered the spirit realm and is just visiting Danvers on vacation.

Toss up I guess, depends on how much you are willing to buy into the mystical aspects of the show.

I did buy into the mystical aspects (in part because I liked the way they disproved most by the end so what remained as mystical was more believable to me) but I like your first thought a lot and that is how I am going to view it!

Ugh, I hated the ending. I’m supposed to believe that an entire group of dorky scientists killed a young woman and then a group of cleaning ladies figured it out and enacted vigilante justice? Nope. No. No. Not on your life. Issa Lopez should stick to telenovelas. Shame on you HBO. Shame! Shame!

I thought it was a great wrap up that grounded most of the story in reality despite all of the portends toward supernatural.

Two questions - Navarro died by suicide? And who left Annie’s tongue- Annie herself?

I thought it was a great wrap up. My take on Navarro is she finally left Alaska behind, but then I can't explain why she's on the porch at the end.

Tongue - I think the corrupt cop left it.

Hank Prior left the tongue? Where did he keep it and why?

I think it's Navarro's spirit on the porch at the end, visiting Danvers like Travis visits Rose. Rose said to Navarro early in the season that the dead come back to visit. I think Navarro is dead.

I’m the one who asked this question, and that is what I thought, too (esp since Danvers literally said to Navarro near the end of the episode that if she ever does what her sister did, she needs to come back and visit). But I like PPs idea better , mainly bc I can’t bear the thought that mental illness can be inescapable in a family.

While I hate the thought that Navarro committed suicide her character seemed like she would never be at peace and perhaps she felt like this was the only option and that once she had solved Annie's murder her work was done. Suicide and mental illness are terrible parts of life.

I agree with this interpretation. I wasn't even sure if Danvers could physically SEE Navarro there, though she might have sensed her.

I’m still confused how the tongue ended up on the kitchen floor after all that time, or how that one scientist didn’t freeze to death like the others, even though he was with them. Did I miss an explanation?

I don’t think they ever explained who cut it out (was it Pryor) and how it ended up back in the lab after all those years.

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.

Rolling Stone loved the ending.

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

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 don't think this show is for you.
