"congrats on tarnishing a series" Like, I'm not really a fan of this season, but let's not pretend people haven't been talking massive amounts of shit on TD since the end of season 1.

Finished Mr and Mrs smith last night. My girl and I were both fairly unsatisfied with the ending.

It would be better than Wind River for blue hairs and cucks. After 6 hours of a cultist scientist, a literal demon in e3, other ghosts, a crooked cop, and an evil mining corporation… it was the fucking cleaning lady and a femme lynch mob. Infuriating ending. You were right all along. Absolute garbage show. The worst part is that the current environment is so hardline on the virtue signaling bullshit that if you didn't enjoy this show, then you're the one with a problem. A lot of the decisions made with the writing lead me to believe that the TD association was actually taken on begrudgingly. Entire thing actually feels like a middle finger to the viewer if this series meant anything to them at a certain point.

it's about the journey of two women with curses/losses in their lives duh. Issa Lopez made a six hour Tampax commercial in the spooky tundra featuring Eskimo pride

They didn’t try to hitch their wagon to S1. The case in S1 was directly referenced in S3 and people were big mad that it didn't materialize into anything more. All this "Season 4 has tarnished TD's legacy" stuff is revisionist history.

All this "Season 4 has tarnished TD's legacy" stuff is revisionist history. well people are stupid if that was their expectation. S3 was just like “wow you’re looking for dead and missing kids, here’s a crazy case not too far from here that was solved involving dead and missing kids”. It was a cute Easter egg in the scheme of things. This was like rust’s dad doing interpretative dances, the spiral being an insanely major plot device, having the pedo cult from S1 (the villain) be connected to the victims of this show only having them be a red herring for the mine, “time is a flat circle”, and the whole interview rip at the end. This show actively plundered s1 for bullshit hoping it would get mark ass bitches to connect the two and make this seem better than it was.

Issa Lopez made a six hour Tampax commercial in the spooky tundra featuring Eskimo pride the 'girls get shit done' aspects weren't the issue, the issue was absolutely abysmal writing throughout. every episode was full of so many "why the hell would..." questions that couldn't be overlooked (nor explained by the end). god damn the writing was so bad. the core plot writing, and the dialogue. i'm halfway interested to go back and watch the first few episodes just to tally how many things weren't even close to being explained by the end. if it were written by a non POC it would be tossed aside and criticized as culturally insensitive, exploitative, and filled with so many cartoonish native american, borderline 'magic negro' tropes.

why did it have to be all the women who got revenge for the scientists? it wasn't a men vs women thing. it was a colonizers vs indigenous peoples thing. why not have neil tagaq and annie's brother there? the hunters in that camp?

They hardly explained the spooky trailer, the reason behind the blind polar bear unless it was alluding to mine pollution, rusts dad at the beginning and they kind of wrapped it up with "hey its Alaska there's spirits everywhere"

“In this season, we can decide that these men walked onto the ice, the pressure dropped because there was a sudden blizzard, and their body temperature dropped so fast they developed delirium and died. Or, there was something in the dark. It’s for you to decide.”

would have been infinitely cooler if navarro ended up being the killer the entire time and then stares at jodie foster while fading to black as payback for indigenous people suffering on their land due to the white people and their research

Finally caught up on the Boys, can't fucking wait for season 4. Started Mr. & Mrs. Smith and I really enjoyed the first episode, Hiro Murai does not miss.

when she said her mom or whoever used to cut the orange peels into one big peel, I just knew there was going to be a shot where that would be the swirly thing from season one and that was one of the most disappointing seasons of television I’ve ever watched

I’m here to say, hat in hand, S4 of TD was not very good. I was an advocate for ‘let’s just see how it goes,’ but ultimately disappointed.
