I assume he's talking about Navarro, the *straight* cop whom we literally saw have sex with a man, who used a very simple leg maneuver to bring down another man who had been unconscious twenty seconds prior and was no where near "twice her size."
It could not be more fitting that in trying to defend obsessive anti-wokism, he ends up stereotyping the tough female cop as an over-powerful lesbian, when she's so clearly neither. It's almost as if these people see only a world they want to see, just so they have something to be angry about.

Knowing what to expect, I just rewatched the first episode, and after having knocked out the recap videos, listened to a podcast, etc, it's such a better episode the second time around. I caught so much more, the characters felt richer, it flows better, and I absolutely love the mystery…
- The scientists disappeared "at least" two days ago.
- A day later the water for a section of the town went bad "three days" ago.
- Both events coincided exactly with the last sunset of the season.
- The town is supported by a mining company/operation.
- The scientists were drilling into the ice.
- The crab supply has been dwindling for years.
… most of which was covered in the recap videos, but seeing it all again in context, these things are 100% connected. As are the caribou, the scientists, and Rose all being led to destinations by some kind of migratory/polar/radio signals.
Overall, I'm loving where this is going and I can't wait for Sunday.

First episode was great...my buddy who turned it off after 10 min hyped up how woke it was, and I fell for it. Yeah, I wish there wasn't unnecessary teenage lesbo stuff packed in, but Hollywood is obsessed with injecting that type of stuff and only going to ramp it up...great otherwise.
Cheek piercings are a bit silly and distracting but maybe they will grow on me.
This show has an eerie vibe that the previous two didn't.

Looking forward to starting this one - although I'll echo the comments that said they'd be surprised if there is anything supernatural at play in the end.
Got some gummies that I brought back from Cali...pairs well with this show...I was sucked in. I think this has a very strong chance of solidifying itself as solid #2 in the franchise (obviously nothing will ever top Season 1).
So you made the dumb comment about it being "woke" without having watched the show? Sounds about right.BG Knocc Out said:

I'll have to give season 2 another chance... I wasn't a fan when I first watched it, but I'm sure I did have a bias set after how great season 1 was.
I really enjoyed episode 1, brought back a lot of the feelings from season 1. The setting of Alaska once it goes dark is really smart, it just makes everything feel more claustrophobic and ominous.
I know this isn't high-level analysis but feels like the killings are going to be associated with someone high up with the mining operation, or the town itself. Annie protesting makes that conclusion easy to draw. Also the scientists are researching climate change, easy to draw that conclusion as well.
One thing I looked up is Annie's middle name, Masu, is Japanese for less than, it's an insult so they're implying she, and I'm guessing the rest of the native population, are looked down upon by the white people. I hope I'm wrong on that, not because of the drawing of any political conclusions, because if it's that easy it's just lazy writing. If the entire town exists due to the mine it's also possible the locals would want to silence her because that's where all the town's resources come from.
A common theme of the first three seasons is the subjugation and abuse by the powerful upon the weak, people that are barely seen as existing. They go after people that aren't going to be missed, a person with the middle name meaning as much seems a little on the nose to me, but like I said I hope I'm just falling for misdirection. Maybe it's a giant conspiracy between the mine, the town, and the police force. Did they ever really explain why Hank would hold onto that file? The circumstances around Annie's death and the scientists are very different though.
PS if you're enjoying this I recommend watching The Head, also on MAX. Another murder mystery set in the arctic. Or the first season of Fortitude which I think is on Amazon, second season was a little off the rails.

When the guy speaking Spanish was making a sandwich, the other person began to shake violently. When he stopped shaking, he turned and said "She's awake".
The scientists were not seen alive after that.
Who is "she"?

Right - none of us really know, that's why we're all watching!
I wish they would mention what time things are happening. I never know if it's the midnight or noon.

My guess is that's kind of the point.
My guess… CCH Pounder
Yeah, but he got to own some libtards (or at least try). #worthit.MASAXET said:So you made the dumb comment about it being "woke" without having watched the show? Sounds about right.BG Knocc Out said:

I admit this was pretty bad...
finally watched the TRUE DETECTIVE: NIGHT COUNTRY premiere and was worried it didn’t feel enough like Nic Pizzolatto’s world until a character suddenly pivoted topics mid conversation and asked “do you believe in god?”

A couple of small observations:
When the delivery guy shows up to the lab there was someone or something else there.
Also as mentioned in one of the videos posted, the guy was definitely still recording on his phone when the guy said she is awake. Seems they would have already charged it and looked at it. I suppose it could take a few days.

You're talking to a guy who is scared to go to the Woodlands because he believes they have a downlow gay community that meets at the Trader Joes. I think he's closetedMASAXET said:So you made the dumb comment about it being "woke" without having watched the show? Sounds about right.BG Knocc Out said:

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Oh come on, that's one of the greatest running jokes from the Houston board in quite some time (bc it's so over the top ridiculous).BowSowy said:You're talking to a guy who is scared to go to the Woodlands because he believes they have a downlow gay community that meets at the Trader Joes.

Not saying he's not closeted.
Intriguing first episode. Way more of a supernatural horror vibe than I expected.
Most surprising thing about that episode was Navarro being straight.

We also heard it when a hand reached out to Danvers in bed. And right before the polar bear shows up on the road.
Second episode brings up some interesting things that tie to Season 1
Travis Cohle!
I can't believe they actually went there.
(I'm only eight minutes in, will be back when it's over.)

Tuttle, too.
Seems like one mangled survivor would be the primary focus right now.

Yep, Tuttle name drop and then Travis Cohle. Tying into S1 and I can't wait to see where it goes
Damn I have spoiled myself with binge watching. Hate that I have to wait another week. Thought about waiting a few weeks to resume, but that thought only lasted about two seconds. This show could be great if they do it right.
This is sooooo good.
Nothing will of course ever touch season one, but two episodes in and season four is already coming the closest.

Interesting observation, but I don't mind it at all. Especially when Danvers' "That's not the right question" scene with Prior was so damn good, and then ended up leading to what made Navarro make the connection with the trailer in the end...
50% of the second episode was built around sub-plots concerning various members of the community that may or may not connect to the main case — some I’m sure will later on, but it has that “show about a small town” feel, rather than experiencing it all through our leads.

The "that's not the right question" scene brought back memories of Lecter questioning Clarisse.
The most interesting part of this show is trying to figure out whether it's supernatural or not.
I liked that we saw why she hates Twist and Shout so much. But still a lot of unanswered questions about her past, both her family and with Navarro.
Frozen dude at the beginning was alive, right? I know she got the call about the surgery, but was a little confused that it was never mentioned again.
