I'm not sure that was supernatural. I think that was just the storm knocking out the power, no?

It was metaphorically "the darkness chasing him"

Yes, that was the visual metaphor.

But really it was bait to keep the viewer engaged as the timing of the event implied something supernatural was happening or was about happen to him when instead he was easily able to get out to whats-her-names house in the middle of that massive blizzard, dig a hole in the ice, and dump the bodies in the ocean. Didn't she live like right by the station as she was able to walk in a storm to frozen naked scientists from her house, right?

a power cut usually doesn't result in lights synchronizing where they go out one by one in order with a perfect time lag to correspondence with a truck traveling 30 mph.

Is that not how current works?

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.

Strat wrote:I think its fine hinting at supernatural elements considering the native tribe believes in spirits and the afterworld. Juxtaposed with an outside, Jodie Foster, not believiing in pretty much anything anymore due to significant loss in her life.

These elements, teased or not, are totally fine and were consistent.

Its other writing stuff that I didnt love.

Still enjoyable enough though!
