[Ello Sailor]

Holy shit, what a start. This is going to rule so hard.

[VinylGuy]

Only five left

Only five left

Ouch
Was expecting 8 as usual

[Bi_3]

Was that the spiral pattern on the one of the photos of Anna’s body?

[Coach]

Great start.

This is a nice little recap, too.

[VinylGuy]

im not sure if it was on her body, but the spiral could be seen on how Jodi Foster arranges the photos in the floor for example

im sure they will be other callbacks to S1 yeah

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Love the two leads; Foster in particular is awesome. Not sold on the story yet, feels a bit like it’s trying too hard to be mystical and creepy.

It would be annoying if it turned out to be "Earth spirit, frozen in ice by the brave indigenous folx centuries ago but awakened by environmental destruction, takes revenge on capitalist settlers".


Or if it was a knockoff of The Terror.

I think the director already said its going to be a mystery based on reality but with supernatural touches and a very strong creepy vibe. The first was almost shot a as a horror movie, which tracks because she made one in the past.

First season had a lot of that, hell even in the finale they almost full five into that route, so its very cool they are doing it again.

I also felt like the final shot of

Spoiler: show

the researchers frozen in ice

was taken straight out of the Dyatlov Pass mystery

She’s said in interviews that it was.

We can nitpik, which is fun, but at the end of the day, this will be better than most TV

Any other True Detective heads going to try out Monsieur Spade? I watched The Maltese Falcon to prep and just watched the premiere.

[Ello Sailor]

I had only heard bits and pieces about the Daltov Pass mystery before looking it up just now. Some of those photos are fucked up.

I liked it; 1960s France is a great time for a period piece because I’ve only got like a basic knowledge of what was going on at the time, so there’s some nice color that I think will lead me to reading and researching other things.
