Can I complain about one thing? Am I to believe that Danvers and Navarro drive into the middle of nowhere, drop into an ice cave, walk maybe 20 yards underground, then pop up underneath Tsalal? WTF. Did they not see the building from the cave entrance?
i love michael mann movies, so i'm not typically real big on picking nits at distances and travel time etc, but even i felt this watching the episode last night.
also do all the cleaning ladies live together in that small house? what was going on there.
the cleaning lady reveal might have been more powerful if i knew anything at all about the head cleaning lady telling the story. we saw her for like a minute in the first episode i think. in fact some more knowledge about the indigenous peoples of the area and their culture/beliefs would've been cool, instead of just portraying them as sad innocent victims for five episodes before they became a machine gun kill squad.
100% on your last thought. If this was an "indigenous women protect their own" season it could have been a winner. I thought for sure they were going to show the women flash-freezing the scientists in the crab processing plant and then staging them outside to make it look supernatural. But no, we got the "maybe it was a ghost/spirit/wendigo" or whatever plotline.
There were so many times I thought, damn this is pretty good, followed in five minutes by why am I watching this? That was one of the MANY problems. There were moments of brilliance (Jody Foster's acting) followed by a clan of cleaning lady warriors. With just a little more character development, I might have been able to buy it.

Ok I've got a ton more but the big one that I left off is why can Prior drive in the storm and Danvers and Navarro can't?? And why did Danvers keep going to bed when Navarro and Clark obviously need some attention?!?! AND AND we all know she can't sleep even when she has her white noise machine rockin'.

prior can drive in the storm because fiona shaw is good at dumping bodies to cover up murders. we know this because she helped navarro dump her sisters ashes who was not murdered.
come to think way more murders were covered up this season then solved. at least we know prior will be fine now, his wife was mad at him but it's all good now since he killed his dad.

Your last sentence made me spit out my beverage. Now my stuff is wet.

I can't stop. I'm sorry. When they fell through the ice, THAT'S WHERE CLARK WAS?!?? WHERE THEY FELL THROUGH THE ICE?!?! HOW?!?! And how was there a fully stocked fridge in Solail?? Why were there several oranges that hadn't gone bad?
Also why did Danvers have to introduce herself to the head cleaning lady/house madame when, based off of everything we've been literally told, there's absolutely no way that Danvers didn't sleep with her husband.
Wasn't a huge fan of the finale or the season as a whole. Too much of the reveal was in this final episode. The extension of the lab underground through the hatch. Annie's murder. The cleaning ladies reveal. And then with Prior he just buries his dad in the middle of a blizzard and goes back to his wife like all is good now. Jodie Foster killed it as expected but the rest was just so mid.
This tbh. What was Tsalal working on that was so important to warrant the staff murdering someone, along with encouraging the local mining company to increase pollution to further increase thawing of the permafrost to "enable research"?
Another case of packing 3-4 episodes of story into one. Honestly not sure why they couldn't have fleshed out the story more in the previous 5 episodes in lieu of boilerplate interpersonal drama.

I think it was explicitly stated that Tsalal was researching a microorganism that may hold the key to curing illness/increasing longevity (fountain of youth or some crap). I thought they were going full sci-fi at one point, with a plotline that included the researchers reanimating the corpse of Annie K with the microorganism, intentionally or by accident.
They never bothered to explain how the mine was thawing permafrost. Greenhouse gas, drilling causing ground warming, warm water waste runoff? Also, ignore the fact they were drilling ice cores which is entirely different from permafrost. Just remember, the mine is evil and global warming is bad. And something about Tuttle.

I thought it was gonna be the polar bear that they reanimated. And then when she was using the fingerprint fluid she was gonna find a bear paw
yeah i mean ratings is the most important thing. and i think viewership actually got higher with each episode. issa managed to book jodie foster, which is an achievement in itself.
some critics seemed to love it! alan sepinwall comes to mind. rotten tomatoes score is at 78% right now. having said that most of the critics i follow and trust were quite critical of it.
so did clark just like, keep living with the dudes who murdered his lover for a decade? and then would sneak off to his camper to put creepy shit on the walls?
