      There are a lot of images showing people pointing in this episode. The angular spiral symbol looks a lot like the coiling of your fingers when pointing. I think this version of the yellow sign "points" to something else, just not sure what.

      Here is my theory what if Annie k got sick from something to do with the mine ,and being potentially pregnant with Clark's child they were trying to cure her or get evidence from her but it went bad like when exorcism kill people. Maybe the scientist pinned wrong they were actually working against the mine ,and not hiding info.

      I think you're on the right track, and the references to season 1 are undeniable. I think it's a bit overloaded and pretentious the way they try to build up all this wacky cult madness, depraved mystery, horror genre touches, corruption, despoiling of the planet, conspiracy, etc. But the visuals are well-done, and the acting is pretty strong if the plot lines and writing are a bit forced much of the time. Finally, I urge you to SLOW DOWN your verbal delivery in laying out your interpretations. That rapid pace is maddening. Lay off the caffeine or whatever stimulant leads to such breathless and emphatic delivery.

      I would love to see Rust’s character come back! I think it’s not very likely though, unless that was him at the tsalal station. The person the delivery driver saw. Also, I had subtitles on and Rose says Travis’s last name is Cohle. The line is “one last gift from Travis Cohle, he introduced me to you”

    Impressed not only by these detailed and insightful breakdowns, but how fast SC pulls these together after each episode. This kind of dense, mysterious, philosophical/cosmic-horror themed stories are some of the best TV I've seen. If you like this kind of story, check out Thomas Ligotti, a short story horror writer with influences of Lovecraft and the King in Yellow. First season True Detective written by Nic Pizzolatto also influenced by LIgotti.

He also goes to say that maybe Travis came back to finish his business bc he already knew he was dying and wanted to set things right before his eventual demise. I think that would be so cool of that turned out to be true.

    About the spiral - have you noticed Rose looking towards the specific direction after telling Navarro about the sign? She doesn’t say much, except that it’s older then the city, older then the ice. Right after that, camera points at a mountain/hill (she’s supposedly looking at) in a far distance. Maybe there’s something about this specific mountain? Maybe if you look at it on the map, the isolines give you THE SPIRAL? This scene is at ~12:40 mins of the show. Maybe this specific place is the key?

      Hate this say this but it’s really not that surprising especially since it is primarily bad in the indigenous community. Irl the American government doesn’t care about us much and on our reservations there’s barley any drinkable water that’s not bottled or had to be boiled, plus Flint Michigan has been without clean water for 5 years, so unfortunately I don’t think it’s major for the show in the sense of it being cult related, more so seemingly like it’s a tie in for real world issues yk?

    • @-Dolce_Far_Niente-
      @-Dolce_Far_Niente- 9 месяцев назад

      ​@Polaris_616 Unfortunately, water is an everybody issue. Especially given that corporations like Nestle steals millions of gallons of water from any and everywhere! They don't pay a dime for it, but continue to pump, sometimes until tributaries run dry. And they aren't the only water corporations to do this. This is why I don't buy anything Nestle anymore, and sadly they own a lot of brands.
      I know that it's much worse in Indigenous communities, as well as rural and urban areas without a lot of funding. I'm not trying to downplay the horrific realities within these communities. However, during many of my master's degree courses, it's always a topic of discussion that water is going to cause a massive war, because of it being a finite resource, and the way that we misuse it, pollute it, over-consume it, the reality of medications are now being found in ground water as well as water from the tap. Then we have to think about the microplastics being found in the water systems, and we consume them, as well as all life. Then I think about soil erosion, chemical runoff, as well as all of illegal dumping of chemicals. We are actively destroying a resource we need to survive as a species. By we, I'm talking about around the Globe. Countries that have less environmental protections, and all of the horrific runoff from companies and corporations, who are dying clothes, as well as those who don't care about what they're throwing into the water, over fishing...the destruction of ecosystems like the coral reefs, entire sections of tributaries that harvest NO LIFE, not even algae. It is seriously scary shit, when you start to really buckle down and start doing the research.
      I personally think the water issues they're having plays directly into this show. We always want to think it's some scary monster doing all of this, but in reality we don't need monsters when we have human beings. We do a fine enough job at destroying ourselves and the environment around us...that monsters would probably be more afraid of us, and try to hightail it out of here as quickly as possible! I also believe that's part of the research they're conducting at the Tsalal Research Center. I think that some of their research is going to show that they uncovered proof that human life, as we know it, is over. Between how quickly the ice caps are melting, the extreme changes in potable/drinkable water, the scarcity that we're already witnessing. And one of the biggest problems with drinkable water today is bottled water. The water bottle industry is a scam. How they directly effect our water resources is absolutely reprehensible. If you're into documentaries, I'd suggest watching Flow. You'll never want to touch bottled water ever again. But I also know that it's sometimes the only water source available to many, which is tragic in its own right.
      I'm so sorry that your communities are still treated so disgustingly, by the US government. I wish that I could be helping in some fashion, besides donating and signing petitions. Unfortunately, I got very sick in the middle of my master's program, and had to take medical leave. Had I not had to take medical leave, I would be either working with an Indigenous organization in Washington State or with an organization called Amazon Watch, where I would have been working aside and with Indigenous communities, such as the Kayapo Tribe, who lived on a tributary off of the Amazon River called the Xingu River. Since my Sophomore year in Undergrad, I've been wanting to work with Indigenous communities. I have always said that we (by we I mean colonizers...those who want to keep up with the Jones) need to pay more attention and learn from the ways Indigenous communities live, as well as sustain themselves, their communities, and even others, because they're obviously doing something right. The Kayapo Tribe lived in that area of the Xingu River for 1000s of years, and that land remained healthy and still continued to sustain their community, in abundance. That is until so-called developed cities, corporations, and shareholders with deep blood-lined pockets deemed it necessary to displace 100k Indigenous communities, because they wanted to destroy the natural flow of the river, by building the world's 3rd largest Hydroelectric Damn, on the Xingu River. Sadly, the damn only works 20% of the year, and 80% of the electricity created goes to surrounding cities. Again, I'm so very sorry for the mistreatment your community as well as all other Indigenous communities face, from the US Government.

    When I was watching it this week after seeing McConaughey’s name again as EP in the credits and then all the very obvious nods to Rust I saw an interview with Jodie Foster where he was mentioned and whatever way she put it (it was the kimmel one from a couple of weeks ago) and when you put everything together it does actually sound like there’s a chance he might pop up in it. Which I think would be amazing as it’s not only his best character but I rewatched it before season 4 and he’s honestly one of the best characters on tv, just excellent… would be so cool and the way this whole series is done i don’t think it would be specifically fan service but I think this season is kind of doing what a lot of people have wanted since season one and is tying the seasons together. When you create the kind of magic they did in that first season it’s hard not to long for it or compare the rest of it to that.

    I think it’s going to revealed that Clark killed Annie K as some sort of sacrifice. That’s why he was crying alone sometimes. Whatever they are doing at the mine is causing the water to turn black, so maybe the water was contaminated early on and started effecting people to causing delusions. Not sure what happened to the scientists yet. I haven’t pieced that together

    I have no idea if it’s a significant tie in - or just a clever reference - but there’s a scene where Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) gets a call from dispatch when she’s in her car - saying to go see a ‘Chuck Mosley’ at the mine.
    Chuck Mosley is the original singer of the alternative rock band Faith No More, which is a pretty ominous phrase - and fitting for the vibe of the show.

    That Ferris Bueller clip is really interesting to me. First, the lyrics show the singer controlling others to dance, sing and shout, indicating posession ("let me know that you're mine"). Then, the Ferris part is weird because Ferris lip-syncs to the song, as if he is being used as a channel or vehicle for the true singer. Next, in the film and shown in the True Detective show, Ferris's charm gets others to dance, writhe, sing, and shake, as if he's infectious with a kind of magic power. We see a construction worker or window cleaner laugh and dance a little when invited to by the camera crew of the film.

    Travis is absolutely Rust’s father, so along with the symbolism of the spiral, the Tuttles, the trailer having the exact same dolls, bones, and ‘decorations’ as where the bodies were found and the church at the end of S1, the links are definitive now that this is a continuation or climax of S1.
    I noticed that there is a dialogue link between Danvers and Rust too. They both say the same line about asking the wrong questions to prod people to think more deeply. They were possibly trained/mentored by the same person or could have worked together at some point. Or…my insane idea…could Rust and Danvers be siblings? 😮
    I do think Rust and maybe even Marty will show up this season. It might be how their story wraps up. Rust sacrificing himself to stop the supernatural event and Marty bringing down the Tuttles once and for all. That would leave Danvers and Navarro to be central characters in someway moving forward.

I assume this is intentional as a warping of the usual expectations about music being in sync with a scene, but to me it just seems a little too cute.

Danvers son and husband seem to have died the same way. What if Rust was living or visiting Alaska and driving drunk? He could be responsible for the death of Danvers son and husband and his own daughter? It would be especially earth shattering if he and Danvers are related. It explains his profound sadness and could be another link to Danvers.

They called spots like that a Thinny. And guess who was The Man in Black, aka Red King? Matthew M. And they also had similar facilities at the Beam stations in Dark Tower. Then there’s “The gunslinger fled across the desert, and the man in black followed.” It’s literally called The Wasteland. If that’s not an Ennis type place, nothing is. In season 1, the Iron Crusader dude literally said “I need a gunslinger.” Again, Roland was literally the last Gunslinger.
