I was less enamored by the finale than the two of you. I was glad they answered many of the questions, but when I look at it with any detail, a lot seems to be more symbolic/convenient than making any sense. Like, how did the women know that "all" of the scientists killed Annie? And if they took them all out into the snow as a response to the poisoning of the water, not necessarily the murder, how did they figure that out in a couple minutes of being in the underground workshop? Also, the whole discovery of the 3-finger hand-print on the hatch door was hard to believe. With as many times as Clark went in and out of the hatch, there's no way a clean hand-print would be seen.
Also, they drove out seemingly way out in the snow on mining land and it led to just beneath Tsalal? That was hard to buy. It's not like they were walking miles in underground tunnels to get there.
Regarding Navarro, I don't think she's dead. It was the exact reason you gave, Beth, her learning of the meaning of her name, that leads me to think she just started a new life for herself. To end her life would be to give in to the darkness that her sister (and ostensibly her mother) did. The last scene was Danvers and her daughter on vacation, no? Maybe the vacation spot is where Navarro now lives. Also, it leaves it open for her to be involved if there is a part 2.
Provocative discussion! There's so much to talk about! Like how if a polar bear appears in a show, it's going to be a red herring. Just like Lost.
I loved this season of True Detective and was wondering if you’d write about it!
I saw someone on threads say, “I need a spin-off show about Rose,” and I agree! I’m curious how we know Travis is Mathew McConaghy’s dad from season one? It’s not the first time I’ve heard this said, but I don’t remember season one enough to have picked up on any clue for this.
