Capt. had to check a bytch before they could even wash up....fukked up the whole vibe

He was in dem guts tho

 

[the cac mamba]

did we ever find out why that corpse was screaming in the pile, in the intro of the second episode? or did we just move on from that

 

[Avisible Man]

I was Morgan Freeman when ol boy came back to life

Let's see if we get a scene with a doctor lecturing Danvers and Prior on all the hell this man just endured:

Chief, there are 4 degrees of frost bite. He's got 6th degree on over 90% of his body. His optic nerves were frozen solid. He'd've swallowed his own tongue if it didn't freeze halfway down his esophagus. 157 of his bones have shattered. By some miracle, only one of his lungs collapsed. He's experienced about as much pain and suffering as anyone I've encountered, give or take... and he still has hell to look forward to. Good night.

The gangrene spread everywhere. He needed multiple amputations. He lost his eyesight. We kept him heavily sedated but a few hours ago he started waking up. He comes in and out. He's... agitated. Be prepared: he's hard to look at.


We got it this week. I liked Se7en and my version better

Cause he was alive and one of the idiot responding officers broke his frozen arm off. He was separated from the rest, evacuated, and they addressed him by saying he had surgery and in a medically induced coma.

Danvers strikes me as more of the Hinge type.

That Ennis dating pool.

1) I think I saw a sister in episode 2, blink and you'll miss her. It was an outside scene.

2) And puts a new spin on the idea of being Eskimo Brothers

 

[WIA20XX]

I like this show despite the actors and "world building" for lack of a better word.

Jodie

Jodie being a racist, anti-Eskimo cop is quite believable.
Her being a paper pusher/police procedure expert is also believable.

Her throwing ol boy's drink in his face, and then "writing" him up? FOH.

Evangeline/Kali

1) Clearly Lesbian grinding the hell out of bartender? Uhh maybe.

2) Her mad all the time, but then a good tender sister....sure I guess - but if we got spirits/mental illness in the family - that's more of a distraction to the show than anything.

3) "It's an Inuit thang, you wouldn't understand" - Eskimo, please...

The "Agenda"

These females are being more "alpha", more "aggressive", more "macho" than a lot of the men - a lot of the men that are playing the part of antagonist - I don't know if this is some sort of female power fantasy, but it keeps taking me out of it.

In response to being provoked, why don't these men, slap, punch, shoot, any type of response other than to posture or walk off?

I'm supposed to believe that these dudes are just gonna take it? Because their mothers taught them to not hit girls? Or it will be bad for their careers?

And while all of this suspension of disbelief is crumbling, they are juggling a bunch of side stories

1. The Lab/Spooky Elements
2. The Mine and contamination
3. Backstory between Jodie and Evangeline
4. The Season 1 links
5. The Sister - mental illness or in touch with the Gods?
6. Young Cop/Wife/and Kid
7. Both cops being nymphos

They could drop the bottom 4 easily. Even if they manage to interweave all of this for the climax - given the cringe dialogue and nonsensical writing - this show would have been better without those elements.

I know that 1) Woodie's sex life, 2) Matt "mowing lawns", 3) and the breakdown of a partnership were a big part of S1, but it's not being handled well here. The homelife of both cops are also mysteries in the show, but they weren't really mysteries in the 1st season.

 

[ciubaca]

they're trying to recreate Rust and Marty's car conversations
I still like this tho... if they stick the landing this might be better than season 2 and 3, not that that's something to shout about

 

[daemonova]

Man, Kali just isn’t doing it for me. They couldn’t get anybody better to tag alongside Jodie?

Speak for yourself

 

[daemonova]

What kinda amateur hour officers are these

Guy threatening you with a gun in sight and you don't pull yours out

They there to get information if you shoot him, you won't get it. If you pull yours, hell definitely shoot. You can get out of this, if you cater to his ego. Women understand this better this better than men will.

I had to employ this strategy to deal with a step brother. You ain't got to kiss his ass, the nicca want a win. It's the only win he'll ever get so let him Have it.

You called it.

 

[fact]

I don’t know what yall watching, hating so much. I love this shyt, I think everybody is doing a great job acting. Last nights episode was great to me, I was watching it with my wife and was pissed when it was over, it flew to me. I really can’t stand Jody Foster, but I think even she is doing great, although she could never pass as a straight to me, lol

I think people really don't understand the setting and how people in Alaska are generally not pleasant in dark and cold season. Generally, real a$$holes. So, I'm pretty immersed in it.

fukk all that cold.

Breh he's literally in the episode last night lol.

And in EP2 the nurse calls Danvers telling her that he's in the hospital and in a coma. They addressed it in the same EP I'm surprised how many missed the phone call

 

[Neuromancer]

Is this connected to season 1?

 

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

I don't wanna come off but I've noticed the recent uptick in Native stories (nothing wrong with that at all) featuring Native actors (nothing wrong with that either) has some dodgy acting. I get not wanting the heat for casting non-Natives for the roles but the work suffers for it.

They should have gotten Lily since she really the one who popping right now.
I don't think ol girl trash as many making her out to be tho.
