Why did they torture Clark by making him listen to Annie's death? They had no idea that he smothered Annie at the end. He was just a witness as far as they were concerned. They walk like 50 feet under the ice and they end up under Tsalal and they didn't notice how close they were to it to begin with?

Great recap Pete ! Regarding Annie's tongue, I have the same view as a written recap elsewhere covered. After Annie was killed the scientists called the mine and Kate dispatches hired hand Hank, who removes the body, dumps it, kicks Annie viscously and cuts out her tongue leaving it beside the body as a warning to others to keep quiet. Jump back 7 years, although Navarro is first LE on scene, she did *not* discover the body, that was done by the local Inupiat women. we see later. They can't hide her body, but they *can* take her tongue as an act of love/safekeeping. Jump back again to modern day and when the local women storm Tsalal and deliver the scientists to the judgement of Sedna, it is *they* who leave the tongue at Tsalal (they had it all along) this is a sign BACK to the powers that be in the town that Annie will NOT be silenced and via this act, she has regained her voice. My 02 ... YMMV

I really dont wan't to be a hater but I did not enjoy this season. While the initial mystery was enough to hook me, there was simply just too much wrong with the tone of this season for me to get attatched to the characters. Every character in this series either is so grumpy and angry with eachother all the time or cracking jokes and making fun of eachother which was really annoying, combined with the fact that The story itself doesn't resolve which doesn't help either. Usually I'm good at extrapolating meaning from TV shows like this but Night Country left me confused. Definitely felt half baked, and the mysterious tone of true detective was completely absent. I feel like a 10 episode run with a more fleshing-out of the dozens of characters they wrote for nothing would definitely help.

So many unanswered questions. Annies tongue, the polar bear, why didn't Navarro just tell Danvers she got the confession from Clark? Why did Danvers leave Pete to clean up body in her own house? (there was a freaking snow storm that night, why didn't all 3 stay behind to clean up then go to the cave the next day?) why was Navarro bleeding from her ears and sitting by a Christmas tree? why did Navarro and Danvers really fall out for years if Danvers says she was going to kill Wheeler anyway? How in the world did the underground ice tunnel lead to Tsalal (There was no point of refrence to show they were in the same vicinity) Finally what the hell happened to Oliver Taggaq? Why did he fold his clothes and leave the spiral when he didnt even know the scientist were dead, not to mention how they died and the detail of their clothes left neatly folded? I was left with more questions than anything 6/10.

@@dianegreyson8787you’re right, he left before Annie’s death but when Danvers and Navarro meet him concerning the scientists he seemed genuinely shocked that they were dead. The second time Navarro and Prior went to see him he had left his jacket, boots, gun and there were spirals in this cabin . I’m not saying that it’s not plausible that Oliver feigned ignorance to help cover the plot but the show implies that it was the Women who took revenge (we see as much in their recounting of events) if Oliver was involved in the death of the scientists why not involve Annie’s brother or any other Native Man. Seems to me that Oliver’s disappearance was a plot hole, so much of a plot hole he walked out on the ice. RIP Oliver Taggaq.

Annie's tongue was most likely in Clark's possession as a remembrance. It was found on the general area where he had his seizure. He lied about not having a hand in killing Annie so he could have easily lied about not cutting off her tongue. He kept her phone and didn't get rid of the mobile trailer of kooky stuff when it would have directly tied him to the murder. He even got the spiral tattoo like Annie after her murder so we know he had a hard time letting go. My big issue with the end is the cleaning lady mafia. One of them finds a room with a star shaped implement and instantly jumps to the conclusion that all the men are guilty? They didn't even finish the job. Three fingered lady knew one guy was holding the hatch but didn't return and they acted all smug about the act. Then let "Annie or Sedna" decide their fate but also conveniently had dozens of guns pointed at the scientists so why would they come back to get their clothes?? Such sloppy writing is a disgrace.

I was having fun with this season until the end of episode 4 and then the yadayadayada about it at the very beginning of episode 5, like that wasn't a thing. You can't present it as a thing and then ignore it. I don't have trouble with the show other than it got too cute in places, didn't explain some things well enough, and then set other things up for no reason. I struggle most with the tongue and can only put it down to super natural. I don't mind shows that leave things to open endings but they didn't explain Navarro as a character well enough to earn the right to leave her ending open. For the record,, I thought she died and that was her spirit on the deck.

Pete...love love love all your videos and deep dives, ultra keen analysis. However, on Night Country: yes ,six episode too few, however, I was really craving more concrete and connected clues in Episodes 4 and 5 and was getting impatient. I love the supernatural elements and the freaky "frozen tableau" --- the tongue, clearly and simply a metaphor for the victims, the indigenous women having no voice and having their voices drowned out, suffocated. I feel the acting was SUPERB and carried a very difficult and often convoluted mystery and story. Jodi Foster made this story possible, I can't even imagine this story without Jodi Foster as lead...only other possible actor to play Danvers would be Francies McDormand to carry this type of role...Kali Reis as Navarro? No other choice for the perfect actor. I believe it is important to remember the story and structure is being ANIMATED by the ACTORS who bring the meaning. I feel perhaps, with True Detective, so much of the weight is on the actors to make us "believe." ... Over all we love all your videos, and, as always and your level of detail is unmatched!!!! Great work---just don't forget the craft of acting - also. It tasks both.

IMO the scientists were using the tongue to conduct experiments. They mentioned that it had a strange residue when the dna results came back and it left that weird residue on the floor in the last episode. I think they were doing experiments with it when the women attacked and it got dropped in the fracus, or (waves arms around) magic.

This was a great addition to the 4 very interesting seasons. I absolutely loved this exchange between Rust and Marty at the end of Season 1. In the end of Season 4 the Women did not exchange words but the same idea that the light is winning was clearly conveyed... brilliant!

Pretty sure the studio forced all the season one connections in the show but Lopez can’t go around blaring that if she wants more work. Read an article it was supposed it be its own entity and not part of True Detective. Take all the forced connections out and it’s much better viewing. Actually would’ve been a nice follow up to “The Outsider” series. Kind of the same supernatural vs reality theme.

These things are all so loosely connected that one could make that Danvers was just having a bad nightmare and everything was made up. She didn't even live in Enis. Its just so bad for a True Detective show. Another series, maybe it would have played out and I could have just tuned out, instead, I was sure that a TD series would bring something together that was on par with the previous seasons. Instead I got a turd sandwich and then since I didnt like it got called misogynist, racist, sexist, janitorphobia and just another one of the "bros." its a culture war at this point, but the show still sucks, so let the chips fall where they may and for what its worth, I'm still a Jodie Foster fan. @@marklachney420

the references to Season 1 absolutely did not feel shoehorned in. to me they felt very embedded in S4’s narrative. also, while i think it should’ve been 8 episodes, which would’ve allowed them to flesh out certain storylines/relationships a bit more, needing most or all loose ends tied up, needing every character to have a resolution, is a little absurd. like, they wrapped up nearly all the most important characters’ stories. it wasn’t Twin Peaks: The Return, which dared to withhold closure from literally every character (and it worked!). it’s not a cop out. literally some threads are best left hanging. and for me, it makes a rewatch all that more enjoyable. i don’t want a show, particularly a surrealist crime drama, to play its whole hand.

I thought the last two episodes were really, really, really disappointing and poorly written (acted well though at least). I loved (LOVED) episodes 1 and 2, but already at 3 I started to have concerns. The 6 episodes run wasn't enough clearly. Too many plot holes or things they never came back to: 1- What about all the elk in the very first scene of episode 1 that leapt off the cliff? 2- Why put the spiral, the Tuttle family, Travis Cohle, what's inside Clark's trailer (the bones and stuff) and all the other season 1 references and do nothing with them? If you take them all out of the season, it wouldn't change anything since they didn't add none. I thought it was a cheap device to make people guess and come back every week. 3- The way Annie dies in the finale versus what they saw on her cell phone was completely different. 4- They never came back on the ending of episode 4 when Danvers found Navarro sitting on the floor, in a trance, with her ears bleeding. 5- They never came back to Navarro's vision of the dead soldier. 6- Danvers and Navarro are stuck at Tsalal because of the storm but Peter can drive everywhere no problem? lol They also have access to Tsalal trucks and stuff. 7- Why Rose is so ok with dropping bodies? lol 8- So I guess Navarro finally ends her life and come back as a ghost? The list goes on as I have many more issues with the season overall as a whole. They spent way too much time opening storylines, on mysteries (was it all supernatural or realistic) without ever really closing them and most of the characters, albeit well acted, were shown only on the surface. We never got to really know them that well since we only got a general idea of who they were. And since they spent so much time on the ''horror'' aspect, in the end, there was nothing supernatural about it really so there's no rewatchability, in the sense that since we know the magic trick (and it was a realistic one), the horror/tension scenes won't work well cause our brain knows now that there's nothing to be scared of. I'll probably never watch it again.

I don’t know if you can beat season 1 but for me, it’s close with this season. I do wish there were 2 more episodes to wrap things up and answer some questions that people need to have answered. I have spent a lot of time in Alaska exploring native grounds (with permission) and it’s very spiritual. I never saw ghosts but I expected to! A town like Ennis would have lots of spiritual encounters when it’s covered in darkness for long periods of time. I enjoyed the female empowerment theme of this season, 2 solid female leads and a female director. So when it was revealed that a Rosie the Riveter type group of women took things into their own hands, I was pumped to see this conclusion! I commented on some threads above but will add it here too. Could the baby crying possibly be Holden? Hear me out, the timeline didn’t really match a woman of Danvers age having such a young son. What if she took the baby and claimed him as her own?

I thought Annie K's tongue being at the scene of the corpsicle stand was a threat from the bad guys of what happens when you talk about their business. But in the end the truth of her tongues presence was symbolic that She had something to say about it - yes the dark has a lot of territory, the spiraling time continuum has always been there too- but the light is winning! Awesome series ❤

After hearing Clark mention how time is on a flat loop, I instantly thought there had to be some time travel/parallel universe at play because of the fresh tongue at the scene which later Davers see’s some frozen residue from. Also the playing of twist and shout again when she clearly ripped it all out in the first episode.

I thought it was good. I didn't see Navarro dying at the end. She had to get away from the police department, because it often put her at odds with other Inupiaq people (also she murdered a guy). Maybe she went soul searching in the wilderness. Whatever it was, Danvers told her interviewers "you won't find her out on the ice" because she is NOT dead

Bee says, that’s not part of our story but then she says with a smirk, I don’t know what you are talking about, which is something you say when you do know what they are talking about. I think the scientists removed Annie’s tongue, Bee finds and takes it when she searches the hatch and later leave it behind to connect Annie to the scientists.

Not gonna lie, although I really enjoyed night country as a whole I felt a little cheated with the final episode. I think they could’ve leaned more to the supernatural being a possibility. I also didn’t believe that seven scientist just all of a sudden started stabbing a woman because they destroyed her work that’s not realistic at all they could’ve done that a little bit differently, but it was still worth watching and definitely better than season two, which was a disaster and season three which was OK but just wasn’t as strong, Jodi Foster, and the actress that played Navarro really nailed it, and of course loved Rose

Just as in the Wheeler case, nothing was done until after the woman had died. The women of Ennis knew nothing would be done about Annie's murder, the deaths of the babies or the contaminated water. So, they took matters into their own hands. -Sending the scientists out on the tundra was a 'Let the Goddess sort them out' moment. I'm not very familiar with the effects of a slab avalanche, but if they simply froze to death, they would not be in positions of motion as they were found. -Man thinks he's in control of everything. Until Mother Nature 'Sedna' proves them otherwise. The scientists were beyond angry to see that their years of work was destroyed, that they would not 'save the world' and receive all the glory for doing so. They did not care that there were already casualties in their wake, so what would another matter? After six years they seemed quite happy in their safe space, going on with their research, watching movies, making photo-worthy sandwiches, until that fateful moment of 'She's Awake' arrived. I don't know why I'm still surprised, when women lead an attack on horrible men, they're viewed as silly or worse, the villains. Annie was considered a cold case, a file in a box. The stillborn babies were considered calateral damage paving the way for the rich to live longer and healthier.

I also like your breakdowns and are usually right on the money. I am still undecided as to my feelings about Pt 4 of the series. I liked it but there were too many loose ends and unexplained things. 1- why even bother with the repeated call back to season 1 with absolutely no payoff or explanation. It's like they were trying to suck us in with the red herrings but no resolution. 2- what was the mine even mining and what was causing the pollution? 3- how did Otis survive so long? 4- Is Navarro dead or alive? I am tired of lazy showrunners copping out to "It's up to you to decide" Bullshit!! 5- I agree it was too short and at least 2 more episodes would have helped to flesh some of this out. I did like it and Jodi Foster was great as were the supporting cast but it could have been sooo much better. Season 1 is still my fave followed by S3 and this season.

I have finally come to terms with the fact that season one will forever remain uncontested, undefeated, and forever a work of art that cannot be replicated without either actors. Much of the community excitement for this season was solely based on season one, and without the exact formula of director, writer, and actors we can never truly be satisfied. So in the end finishing the series with this is as good as we can get.

The more I try to breakdown this show the more frustrated I get 😒 There is just too too many unanswered questions. Ghosts that aren't ghosts, signs that doesn't really mean anything, clues that lead to nowhere, links to the 1st season that played no part in this season. Navarro was my favorite character and I honestly didn't mind the open ended ending. I would like to think she is alive since she went through all she did and got her name and is more confident in who she is and where she belongs. But as for the rest of the show I wish they had given us more answers

I loved this season. But the one thing I didn’t like is Navarro’s ending. When you listen to the accompanying podcasts. It’s about putting indigenous women in the spotlight and empowering them. When I’m reality they are invisible, who go missing or get murdered 60% more than any other population. The indigenous women giving Justice not only to Annie K but for all of those missing and murdered women is powerful. The actresses said it was empowering to play such a role. In the very first podcast they mentioned the importance of making Navarro’s character strong, and powerful role. So why have her walk into the ice and have an ambiguous ending. I wish the podcast explained this. She just learned her name. She finally established a bond with women of her community after feeling like an outsider all her life. I think Issa López did this intentionally with a message, that is making a powerful point in line with her main theme. I would think she would want us to know it, right? My best guess is her getting the audience to ask. Why did she have to die, so that we ask the bigger question why are we not disturbed that indigenous women are murdered or go missing at really an epidemic rate? Why is nothing being done? Which is a great message, a great question. But how many people are going to get it? At least explain in the podcast. Other than that I think it was great. Maybe more loose ends than I would prefer. But still I enjoyed it

Pete, as always your videos are great largely because of your voice and how you explain things. If you don’t mind my leaving my unsolicited opinion, the Tuttle and spiral connection from season one did nothing but make me feel like I was being baited when I truly feel you could have left all of that out and the story remains the same. I did not buy into a bunch of cleaning ladies with guns surprising a bunch of scientists, who were capable of murder and quite honestly while having a gun pointed at them is something no one wants to experience, these guys could have refused to cooperate and what if they said, “No.” Testing the resolve of the women because pulling the trigger is not an easy thing and technically these women were committing a crime that I think deserves to be punished because vigilante justice may work in the movies, but in reality it is a different thing all together. If these men were sociopathic enough to go about their days smiling, watching Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and snacking on cereal, then why wouldn’t they test the resolve of these women? I mean they all participated in a Groupons murder. They have already shown what they are willing to do to protect their research. I do not believe they all would have behaved like cowards. Heck, why wouldn’t they be armed? A bunch of rotund cleaning ladies would be loud and unfocused. Plus something that important that they were willing to kill to protect simply does not ring true. The whole scenario seems contrived. Not to mention in that tiny house, who could believe a bunch of chubby to fat Eskimo women would have such stealth that they could not be heard the moment they walked in. When they did come out it looked more comical and again were they supposed to be frightening to the cops because quite honestly what were they going to do. It simply reeked of bad TV writing to me. Then you got the guy who killed his own father. I don’t care how messed up your father was, if you shoot your father you will be messed up for life. That guy seemed like a robot at the end and I think his character arc was one of being Danvers’ simp. What the hell was the deal with the one eyed bear? The biggest and most glaring problem however was in the portrayal of people living with mental illness. Have you ever worked with the mentally ill? I have and I can tell you that people who are mentally ill can and do live long fruitful lives after far worse circumstances and to expect anyone to think it is okay to depict mental illness as something that is genetically passed on is as ignorant as someone who believes racists are born that way. Multigenerational suicide depiction is simply irresponsible and if I could I would call them out on that because it is true. The setting was dreary as F. I never want to visit Alaska after seeing this show.

The next three were just them writing themselves into a bunch of corners and didn’t bother to really resolve anything at all. How the hell did Hank carry Annie up the ladder? Why bother? Why didn’t Danvers shoot the glass? And a couple dozen more questions.

I have to disagree about the women's confession/story scene. I thought it was far more powerful with all the other women in the room. It showed what true power is, a collective. I also thought the contrast of most of the women who were present during the birth were also there at the revenge against the scientists being an interesting comparison. Together, they can bring you into this world and they can take you out of it. It also seemed to show that when Indigenous women are together, they are safer. All the Indigenous women who died on the show did so alone. Annie, Julia were alone. And to a lesser extent, when Leah was left by her girlfriend, that was when she was beaten by police. It reminds me of the fact that so many genocidal strategies used against Indigenous people often feature an aspect of separation. To be separate is to be vulnerable. But to be together is to be a force to be reckoned with.

A few Tutle family members in animal masks something .. that's why the ending was big disappointment.
