@ksunsta: Yes, I also hope that this will not happen here. Lost stopped attracting it after that, but Left in my top of the tops, although there is a Lost screenwriter there
@e46owner: Hastur is a deity from other worlds, looking to people's eyes like a swirling vortex. Although he lives only in darkness, he has his own bodily avatar in the person of the King in yellow (in season 1, this name is pronounced). Both were mentioned fleetingly by Bierce, Chambers, Lovecraft, etc. The literary tradition in the horror genre, so to speak.
@-TraumfraU-: Well, yes. The Rast from the first season, who grew up in Alaska and raved about this symbol, coincidentally bears the same surname as the man from Alaska, who is clearly related to this symbol. Well, it just so happened. and the authors of the series just put such an emphasis on this. it happens
@al_topchiy: I'm interested in this - this curl is painted on people and objects with the tail up, then with the tail down. A blunder? Or is that what it's meant to be? and it also insanely resembles the symbol of the constellation Ursa major, which is also on the flag of Alaska. I'm still guessing around these thoughts.
I still think that the solution will do without mysticism, and all hints of it will remain hints. The mind games of individuals or the killer's attempts to confuse the investigation. Now it looks as if Clark, who was absent from the bodies, was intensely interested in some rituals of the local indigenous people and caused something as a result. But so far there is nothing that cannot be rationalized if desired. If it were fiction, one could still imagine that these scientists had finally unearthed some kind of microorganism that caused some kind of disease, insanity.
I've been thinking along the way. Firstly, it is strange that Rose, the woman in the fur hat who found the corpses, was not questioned in more detail. She obviously knows something about it. The frozen ones looked creepy, though unrealistic. The brainstorming scene on the ice arena looked like a breeze. The doors are open for both mysticism and rational explanation.
I may have already forgotten the previous seasons, but it's as if the main characters (detectives) of previous seasons weren't as repulsive grumblers as the heroine Judy Foster. She somehow succeeded in harshness and repulsion of others. It can be explained by the environment and harsh conditions, most likely. From the flashback, it became clear why she was so startled by the Beatles song in the first episode.
I kept thinking why there were so many sex scenes - it seems to reveal even more about life in isolation from the rest of the world. It is impossible to build harmonious relationships, but human needs have been and will be - so the heroes have to be content with connections with people with whom they would not contact in other conditions.
I like the pacing of the series - quite measured, but not too cumbersome, the scenes are not drawn out. New clues are thrown up in time so that the viewer does not get bored.
The funny thing is that many people don't lock their doors, which is pretty plausible in such small communities.
And if in previous seasons detectives have already been partners in many cases, and here they are forced to become, but the chemistry does not become less interesting. And of course, a gorgeous seed at the end on the subject of the occult. Oh, wait a week again!
@colorer: in general, everything seems pretty canonical for this series. Rose talked more with Navarro afterwards, though about her sister and the spirits. I don't really want there to be spirits, but I think that the series will survive and there will be a logic built on stories, as in previous seasons. At least there was finally a connection between the cases, everything was so obvious, you just had to ask the right question)) But then they did not know about the connection of the first victim with the station employee.
Detectives are often like that, but there is no point in making them always the same, everyone is good in their own way, I personally can understand the heroine Foster, although there will clearly be scenes with her heartbreaking story, she simply has to show her weakness.
And about the partners, were they together in the first season? They weren't too happy, but they were appointed together, as I can remember, and here they unite themselves, because it's really better this way, because there is a connection between the cases. This was to be expected, there are usually no unnecessary seeds, every detail is important here, and this is interesting.
It's a pity that they don't drop it right away. I don't have the strength to wait))))))
The emphasis is on thousands of years of frozen bacteria and poisoned water. In order to either confuse us and put us on the wrong track, or it turns out that this stuff muddies the mind, etc., etc.
The spiral, most likely, has nothing to do with Hastur this time, and is of a fanservice nature. But again, it refers here to those microorganisms.
The survivor among the icicles looks very strange. Will they explain such survivability in the future? In my personal feeling, they won't explain. I survived, and I survived, what to mumble about.
One-eyed bears; a one-eyed soldier (if I may say so about a man without half a head) from the flashback of the last part; the torn eyes of a corpse evoked associations with Odin, who traded an eye for wisdom. It's like a symbolic payment for learning through looking beyond the edge of reality, filled with these secrets.
I guess that the creators, in addition to "Something" and other things, were inspired by the incident at the Dyatlov Pass.
Who is not afraid of spoilers (if they are), read in English. Wiki description of this series, there is one curious point there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Part_2_ (True_Detective)
According to the series: I really like it so far, more than season 3 for sure. First of all, because of the atmosphere and the setting. And I keep forgetting that it's dark there in winter and it seems to me that they only work at night :)
It's very similar to the first season of fortitude. most likely, mysticism will be turned into science fiction. from the category that scientists have found some organisms that change consciousness, infect a person with some kind of rage disease or something. and like many years ago, this was also awakened, but then the locals explained it with shamanic occult precepts, so mysticism logically echoes science) anyway, there will be some more story with mines. maybe they found the virus in them, so someone was drowning for their closure. and the person survived only because this virus does not let him die, they will investigate him through it. the main thing is not to be contagious))
So far, it is very similar to the Russian TV series Dyatlov Pass in 2020)) There was also a mist with mysticism, and even crime was touched upon, and the explanation in the end was very prosaic.
But ND will not be ND without a maniac (I'm focusing on the canonical 1st season). And finally we found some traces of him (trailer). I am glad that they did not delay this much, the intrigue intensified.
The scenes of the characters' communication are quite interesting, as are the characters themselves (detectives first of all): both are smart, have firm principles and strange habits (here it is expressed so far in the fact that they both prefer free relationships to traditional ones) - this is straight classic ND
There is not enough atmospheric shots of nature, but there is such a location, you will have to put up with the campaign.
Hypothesis number 1: Clark put something in everyone's food, then scared them by dressing in the skin of some fierce mutant beast that he made himself, and they ran outside and froze.
The thing about the dead is that some of 'em come and visit you because they miss you. Some come because they need to tell you something that you need to hear. And some of 'em just wannt take you with them. You need to know the difference.
the connection with the first season is obvious and it's just a buzz. it's not clear yet who Aunt Petunia has to grow up with - they are very similar in appearance, but as I understand it, she was not the official wife of bate Rasta. then the question arises - why does Rasta have his last name. Is he from another woman? Or is the dancing man Rasta's older brother? Rust was not born in Alaska, we know that his family just moved there. It's not clear yet. I think the cult that did things in the first season actually came from these places. and Rust, even when he was young, had seen enough of this damn thing and this sign, so in the first season he was so sick about it. He might not have known about the Tuttle family that runs this lab in the first season. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Rasta this season.
English-speaking bloggers lead to the fact that Chuck's cousin, from whom Clark bought a trailer for joy 10 years ago, is a Rast. because "my cousin died of leukemia," and our supposed dad also died of leukemia (those are hereditary). but there is a discrepancy - in the first season, Rust told during interrogation that his father died of leukemia in Alaska, but the officers answered him that there was not a single record that his father was in Alaska at all at that time. that no one had seen him there for 30 years. and that they have no records of Bati's leukemia. There's some kind of discrepancy.
Perhaps he did not go to the doctors about his diagnosis, but simply "his totem animal whispered to him that he had leukemia" and he went to commit suicide on the ice.
It's okay, so the guy survived!! Lucky.. I thought he'd give Daddy a hard time in return, but he didn't. I restrained myself. Why does everyone tell her that three black stripes on her chin are beautiful?! Are you afraid to tell the truth?! If they unearthed the virus, then it's definitely an ass... And the whole town
@hornedlilith: I'll say an amazing thing: beautiful is when it's beautiful. Drawing on the face to match the tribal identification has nothing to do with it.
@Fog: I'm joining you. I only know that the living during an epileptic attack, for example, can make sounds involuntarily when the lungs are compressed by a spasm. but those are alive and soft, and this one is frozen. mb the larynx was icy and closed, and then as it melted, the air began to leave the lungs? xs.
@Maybe_Karl: weren't you confused by the whole scene that he was put into an artificial coma, that he would have to amputate at least one leg? Or do you think they take such good care of the dead there?
@EQing: No, I'm not confused. I actually thought it was about that guy. I had to go into the subtitles on purpose and find this moment by timings. they mentioned it so casually right after the screensaver, and it seems they never mentioned it again during the series. Well, now it's clear at least that once alive, it means he could still make sounds himself.
@EQing: I watched the episode at 3 a.m. after a late shift and blinked for a couple of minutes. Not a disaster. You should learn how to communicate without bumps.
@Maybe_Karl: Excuse me, but where did you get hit? Have you been insulted in any way? I offer you my deepest apologies if you are suddenly offended that someone noticed that you were watching the series inattentively.
I read it. You can write the timing, because I replayed the whole episode again and didn't see the scenes in the hospital. The dialogue about the survivor's condition took place at school, really casually and was forgotten about for the entire series.
@MARxLENin: Yes, I was wrong. It really was a scene at school, not at the hospital. My reaction was inappropriately rude and I apologize for that and for being able to mislead someone.
This scene, however, explains the fact that the character survived, and I was wrong about the location, not the essence, but my answer to you personally turned out to be unnecessarily harsh. I'm sorry again.
He somehow survived, and now he's in a coma. I think it's necessary for the plot to study his living body later, or he will wake up and say a terrible phrase and die ahahaha
Not really yet. Police heroines are still putting pride at the forefront, not the benefit of the cause. Everyone is strong and independent, but at home they are torn apart. The youngest in rank can't cope with her sister in any way. The eldest methodically spoils the lives of others: for the second time she did not let the young boy to her family (perhaps because of hidden attraction and jealousy), although he is one of the people loyal to her; she ran over her daughter's grandmother; well, she does not get along with everyone in the town. There are enough mistakes. First of all, the surviving man in the ice layer. Secondly, I doubt that dead bodies can be stored at the skating rink, where children's sections are engaged. The owner will then splurge on disinfection. Thirdly, the station, in theory, should be sealed.
The policeman-father, it seems, is being bred for money by a girl from Vladivostok.
@romanista: Liz was against premature ejaculation, not ejaculation inside. she also wanted to have an orgasm and therefore stopped her partner. and Navvaro in the first episode, on the contrary, was for the fact that a partner would rather ejaculate and if you had sex at least once in your life, then it is obvious that he ejaculated inside.
the comment about the language is generally incomprehensible, it does not seem to freeze, why suddenly conclude that it has melted? all we know about the language is that it was "not found"
So it's clear that you didn't understand about the language. I meant the scientist who survived. He started yelling. So how could he yell, his tongue melted so immediately, since his master is frozen in ice? That's what I meant. In general, I repeat, the creators somehow bent this frozen survivor) but, apparently, they will forget about it and will not explain it in any way. After all, this is a movie) So that's exactly what I'm talking about, why didn't Navarro's partner want to ejaculate inside? Like, so she doesn't get knocked up?) and she didn't mind) and in the case of Liz, it can be explained the way you said. In general, these are clearly the director's idiosyncrasies.
@romanista: Oh, I see. Yes, that's not what I meant. There are generally more questions about scientists than answers. Look - their limbs are frostbitten, this was clearly shown to us. that means they were alive for quite a long time when the cold affected them. but at the same time, they have such poses, as if they were running somewhere and defending themselves from something right at the moment. It was as if they had been caught and frozen in this position. plus, according to the timing, they were gone for only 3 days, and they were frozen in ice (not snow, this is important) up to their throats. It doesn't look very natural. It was as if they had been running naked in the cold for a long time, then they were abruptly frozen and then buried in a snowdrift. theoretically, it could have been at least a few hours before the police arrived) so again, theoretically, one of them could have survived. but in the end, I doubt that this scientist will survive, most likely he will die in the next episode. otherwise, it will just work out somehow
with Navarro, the partner just wanted to have normal sex, longer. he seems to be a normal guy and even feels something for her. and she's just more likely to either get pregnant or just already finished and wanted to wrap up. unclear. And I didn't understand about the toothbrush
@Old_oladushek: It seems to me that Navarro occupies a dominant position in sex, this is how men usually behave. And her further behavior confirms this - she fucked, immediately went to the bathroom, got dressed and went home.
It's crazy about the survivor. If they are frozen to such a state that the hand easily detaches from the body, and it takes two days to thaw to +4 degrees, then under no circumstances could anyone wake up there in the ice, even considering the mystical component, if there is one.
@CURI0SITY: they need two days to thaw, not because they are "frozen to such a state", but because Liz used a bureaucratic loophole over time to keep the corpses longer. the survivor was extracted from this frozen one =)
@Old_oladushek: When they studied what happened at the station, they said that at least two days had passed, since the ointment had already started. That is, about two days after they ran out (or whatever it was) and froze, so the person in this pile was in the cold for about two days
@DancesPenguin: Nope, it doesn't mean anything. The fact that they ran out two days ago is a fact. the fact that they were found frozen after some time is also a fact. but what happened to them during these two or three days, we do not know
Interestingly, no one has drawn parallels with "Mair of Eastown." The creators clearly envied the success of the series and were inspired by it. And so the series has collected all the cliches, all the plot moves of at least some successful films.
@ladymickey: While the comment is not hidden, it is not "hushed up". But in general, Issa Lopez said in an interview what she was inspired by and there was no "Mair from Eastown". "Envious of success and inspired by it"? What kind of kindergarten is this? You might as well say that "Meir" was inspired by The Killing.
Lopez is not such a young chick anymore, she was 16 years old when The Thing came out. But even if someone comes and says that it looks like The Thing (which is true), some nerd will still come and say that The Thing was a remake.
@samuel-j-gopher: I wrote some shit. If she didn't say it, it doesn't mean that it's not true. The very basis is just copying the plot. A lonely, brave but unhappy female detective. Both here and there. The rebellious daughter is a lesbian. Both here and there. A personal tragedy in the past. Both here and there. A mysterious, incomprehensible murder. Both here and there. And there are a lot of parallels. It can be said that it is just a plot plagiarism. And as many film critics who defeated the first series wrote, the script of the 4th season collected all the movie clips, all the successful finds of the film industry
I started watching season 4 of True Detective. It seems to consist of all the once successful scenario finds that have turned over the years into common (lost) places of the industry. Just a mass grave of cliches: strong women, weak men, sex without attachment between interested parties, eternal darkness (literally, because it happens in Alaska) and the secluded depression of one-story America, picturesque corpses and autistic detectives obsessed with them with a bouquet of domestic violence in the anamnesis, the indigenous population on the hook (a minute of ethnography and tolerance) and there are a lot of promising clues, although in the finale we are waiting for a trick in the form of a mystical curse, finally, the animals rushing into the abyss in the credits (so we would not understand that the film is going to be scary now). And on top of this Everest of nonsense, Jodie Foster flaunts, believing that we miss her. Well, we missed you, but why act in any nonsense?(
My version: Clark went crazy after the death of his beloved, and when he finally went crazy, he killed all his colleagues. The motive is perhaps that they are racially motivated (he is white, she is an Eskimo couple like in "Windy River", there were also many dissatisfied whites that their friend chose the "wrong" girl) plugged his beloved with a knife to death, and he took revenge on them for this
Arctic + mysticism is of course awesome conceived, and a live icicle, though stupid, but it turned out powerfully, but the agenda is capable of expounding any idea
Well, if after the first episode there were hopes for a normal season, the second showed that it would be a mediocre season. All that remains is the name and a great Foster game. She will somehow save the situation.
So far, this season is the best after season 1. For two episodes, it seems to me that it does not just refer to season 1, but is almost its direct sequel or spin-off.
Rust Cole lived most of his childhood in Alaska, and his father's name was Travis. This season, we directly received confirmation that the ghost of the man in the blizzard is Travis Cole, Rust's father.
The first episode of season 4 begins with the quote: "For we do not know what beasts the night dreams when its hours grow too long for even God to be awake" ("For we do not know the monsters spawned at night at the hour when even God sleeps"). This phrase is spoken by Hildred Castan, a character in the book "The King in Yellow" by Robert Chambers. That is, you know perfectly well what the reference is, because the cultist of Carcosa was the maniac in the first season/The King in yellow.
Series 2 has caught up with even more references in the form of a spiral as a symbol of the already well-known cult of Satanists. The symbol appears literally everywhere. Again, mention of the Tuttle family, which Rust and Marty suspected in the first season that she was covering up the cult of the Yellow King, but the corrupt FBI denied any connection between the Tuttles and the murders.
Well, the return of the devil's snares, nests and dream catchers.
The main thing is that they would be able to explain all this logically and not leave it stupidly mystical. Otherwise, it will no longer be a True Detective, but any other series with mysticism.
I reviewed the first season, it was time for a long time, however, but there are many connections, Rust said that his father was from Alaska, it seems, and the first victim of the maniac of the first season studied at Tuttle religious school, already several intersections
@ann_salll: and in the end, there was nothing, everything led to this asshole with a cut face, plus Rust lived in Alaska for a while, then returned back to Louisiana, finished the case, and that's it, and the Tuttles were senators and remained, in general, Satanism was and remained I wonder now if there will be a cameo of Rasta, probably not, of course, but I would really like to
I really like the atmosphere. Everything else is still unclear)) a bit fantastic, because corpsicle and that survivor are not a particularly realistic situation. It's great that we connected the first and last seasons)
Now I'm intrigued. As much as I was bored and not interested in watching the first episode, the second one dragged me out for the same amount. There are a lot of references to the first season, so much so that flashbacks just appeared.
I liked this episode much more than the first one, but I still have the feeling that this season is trying to parasitize the most successful first season. The series has already sinned this in the third season (when detectives find strange dolls), but this season, the references follow each other.
Another confusing point is this. There is a snow-covered laboratory, whose employees die under very strange circumstances, during the investigation, it turns out that scientists literally dug up and studied microorganisms in the ancient ice.
Don't you think that first of all, it would be worth taking care of the biological safety of others and trying not to contact potentially infected, but already dead carriers of some particularly deadly bacteria, some of which can survive in permafrost and which modern scientists find in ice in real life?
It seems to me that it would be worth doing in the first place, and not looking for some kind of ghost killer. The bear invasion version also looks very interesting and quite realistic.
Because the way they died and the fact that they were somehow killed (in the classical sense of the word) looks as unrealistic and strange as possible.
p.s. the sex scenes are so ridiculous, to be honest)
Here you are all talking about the connection with the first season, but I watched the first season about 3 years ago and I only remember the end. Damn it.
Пока что это испанский стыд а не настоящий детектив, очень плохая пересьемка "Нечто", коему хотя бы реверанс отвесили. А так же сваленные в кучу фишки из успешных сериалов и клише, широко шагающие в последние годы. Будем поглядеть, может всё это ещё сможет выстелить.
Забавно, когда персонаж Фостер разговаривала с уборщицей и показала ей рисунок, уборщица сказала это кажется ведьминское и крикнула эй Блэр :) похоже на отсылку к ведьме из Блэр.
@plastmassovaya: One reviewer I'm watching said that the frame lasts an extra second after that. Although if there is nothing important, you could cut it out.
Оккультизм напомнил 1 сезон, символ такой-же даже. Динамично развивается сюжет, что-то между прошлым и настоящим привело их к смерти. Пока не думаю, что здесь есть именно убийца, больше мистическая загадка.
If it were fiction, one could still imagine that these scientists had finally unearthed some kind of microorganism that caused some kind of disease, insanity.
I may have already forgotten the previous seasons, but it's as if the main characters (detectives) of previous seasons weren't as repulsive grumblers as the heroine Judy Foster.

Don't you think that first of all, it would be worth taking care of the biological safety of others and trying not to contact potentially infected, but already dead carriers of some particularly deadly bacteria, some of which can survive in permafrost and which modern scientists find in ice in real life?
It seems to me that it would be worth doing in the first place, and not looking for some kind of ghost killer. The bear invasion version also looks very interesting and quite realistic.
Because the way they died and the fact that they were somehow killed (in the classical sense of the word) looks as unrealistic and strange as possible.
p.s. the sex scenes are so ridiculous, to be honest)
I'm just wondering, will there be a cringe-worthy shit scene of the most ridiculous fuck in each episode?
Динамично развивается сюжет, что-то между прошлым и настоящим привело их к смерти. Пока не думаю, что здесь есть именно убийца, больше мистическая загадка.
