I think this was definitely the best episode of the season so far! What do you think? Let me know your thoughts below! Here's to hoping the season finale is a banger! 🎉

pete seems like young matt damon - acting wise as well from the looks

It was frustrating seeing Liz let Kate interrogate her. What kind of cop hands over names to a civilian?

I think people overlook the fact that Peter has an infant son in Ennis, who drinks Ennis water, and who is Peter's blood. I think a more empowering angle is that Peter thought his father just chose the wrong side for their family. Which goes back to, does Hank view his indigenous grandson as the kind of blood he values? We never see them together. Is all blood, blood?

Finn Bennett who plays Pete said this in LA Times today: "While he can’t say anything about the finale, Bennett teases that the conclusion is “a very cooperative ending to a show.” “I think you get to decide how you want it to end,” he says, adding that his own reaction to watching the sixth episode was awe. “Unbelievable,” he says. “I burst into tears because I was so proud.” "

Pete will hack into his dad's phone and find texts from the owner of the mining company, and the catfish was a Tuttle getting all their money back.

It’s very interesting that Annie was the first ghost not to point at Navarro

Great episode! I want to give props to the production dept. No one ever talks about it, but they've done an amazing job.

great breakdown, thank you. I was so relieved that Pete made it to the end of the episode alive! I am unreasonably invested in Pete and Evangeline’s well-being 😂😂❤

When Hank said, "I'm not a killer," I knew that's exactly what he was going to do. Shooting Heis in front of Liz meant he would have to shoot her too. Pete was faced with a tough decision and made the right choice in the end. Also stepped up to clean the murder scene while Liz and Navarro went to the caves. Can't wait for the last episode. 😅

In AV Club, the writer said that the last episode is 75 mts long. She too hopes to have the major questions resolved. I really like this season & I need some answers! This was a great episode!!! Btw: a freak storm doesn’t leave tidy piles of clothing behind & next to a cluster of naked bodies. It really shows how much power that factory has over Connelly/the police.

Peter… that kid (cop) is the TRUE Detective.

Pete will end up Chief of Police- he basically solved the whole thing.

I think Twist and Shout is the kid's favorite song, and was playing in the car on repeat when he was killed. Wheeler knew it and set Liz off.

I don't think Evangeline Navarro is a bad person.Her name literally means "bearer of good news" I believe these spirits are pointing at her hauntingly in a way to say "its up to you to solve our murders". Like an avenging angel. When Danvers told her that the Annie case was closed due to Connelly shutting it down, it was as if Navarro was throwing the curse of the hauntings onto Danvers. We don't necessarily know who Wheelers dead wife was truly pointing at. Could possibly be pointing at her living husband as if to say "he did it, get him" and so Navarro being intolerable to abuse against women, Avenged the wifes death. I believe Danvers knew Hank was following her around and had a gut feeling he would show up at her house. And quite possibly gave Pete the key to the shed so he would be around when and encounter would come so that Pete could truly see the kind of person his father was. My Hunch was right that Hank was involved in the Annie K case somehow. I don't believe Hank when he says he isn't a killer. Danvers proved to Pete that his father isn't as dense as he plays himself to be. That he had been tracking what Danvers, Navarro and Pete were doing the entire time. Lying to them all the whole time. Navarro even confronted Hank about his withholding information on the Annie K case. Danvers shut him down after threats to speak about the wheeler case. I think Pete finally saw for himself who his father was after his father lied about what he was doing when Pete showed up to stay after being kicked out by Kayla. And what is up with Kayla? So mad about Pete working so much. Seemingly jealous of Danvers taking up so much of his time. Is it really Danvers she has a problem with? Or is it the Annie K case? Does she have a problem with him investigating the scientists murders? I am still trying to put my finger on what is up with her. Right now she is just an annoyance to me. Like she has no care about the murders at all. Truly looking forward to the finale! I hope its more than an hour!

great video, my list of things that need go get wrapped up explained are: 1. the tsalal scientists murder 2. Annie Ks murder 3. the ice caves/ mining company and what they’re up to, 4. the one eyed polar bear, 5. the ghosts and supernatural aspect.

I think that story Hank told Pete about saving him from the ice is going to come back when he has to pick the ice with Rose to put the bodies in, I feel like he’s going to see Hank come back to life and pull him down or tempt him to go into the water with him. I feel like there is a reason that story was told.

I hope they also explain why Navarro’s ears were bleeding at the end of the last episode. In this episode picked up a week later with no mention of it.

It was a great episode! Loved the scene with Liz and Peter. Love Navarro and Jody Foster has always been a favorite and this character is awesome. I think Navarro killed her mom to protect her little sister. Still don’t know who killed Annie K. Great review.

Evangeline definitely killed Wheeler. She is the one who was in trouble for it. That’s why Danvers didn’t want to work with here

Pete is way more important than anyone realized

Loved this episode and the finale trailer looks great I’m pretty happy with this season

I don't think we will find out who killed Wheeler, I think the point is that they killed and covered it up making them both culpable. Unless its about Navarro being the overall killer, I dont think it matters who pulled the trigger in this case.

Wheeler was the drunk driver who killed Danvers husband and son. Twist & shout, Holdens favorite song was playing in their car when it came to rest. Wheeler had been tormenting Danvers, twisting the knife and she shot him when he triggered her via that evil whistle of twist and shout. Evangeline can see snippets of the future in her visions. Her Mom, Julia, Soldier, Holden are all trying to guide her to the poisoning of the water and animals. The towns women staged an emergency of some kind. They cut the power to the Tsalal station and did something to draw the scientists out of Tsalal. They lead them to the night country. They drowned. Then froze. I new Hank was dirty. They never say what happened to Pete’s mom. How do we know Hank did not get rid of her. It’s weird that his mom left him with the abusive Hank. What gave Hank away to me from the first episode was his hostility towards Danvers then his passive aggressive behaviors when given a direct order. Secondly when he tells his catfish that he “still has some money” for the catfish’s prescription. Where did he get a settlement? JG Wentworth? 😂 Pete killed Annie K. I think Hank made him do it because he’s a monster. And wanted something to hold over Pete. I think Pete was all up on Danvers & Navarro because he was looking to relate to others who did the same thing he did. But he was trying to figure out which one of them did the shooting. Annie’s bf is just crazy. Out of his mind after losing Annie. I think Annie was pregnant. Go back to the trailer scene next to Annie’s golem is a teddy bear and a human baby golem. I think he was trying to bring them back to life. The spiral was on the ceiling of the trailer to simulate Annie below the night country/under the ice. Pete will use Lee to help him with the bodies to force Danvers to help him with Annie. Why else would he use Lee if not to blackmail Danvers for some reason.

We also need to find out the deeper meaning of the “she’s awake” hopefully the last episode is hour and a half…it will feel like a movie to close it out

Anybody notice how Foster's hair goes from fresh cut and highlighted to grown out and back to fresh cut in the same scenes? Is it a continuity slip or does it show different times or flashbacks?

Great review. Thank you 😊

I love the True Detective stories.I always think this is my favorite one after watching each season.

They mined on ancient burial grounds and woke up Senda

Nothing made sense in that episode. And as an attorney, the ending scene is actually laughable. There is nothing to “cover” because the shooting was evidently justified. The fact that three cops together can’t even begin to think of a reason to justify the shooting is absurd. Moreover, by “covering up” this nonexistent crime, they also get rid of any evidence of Hank’s corruption and culpability.

I don’t know if it’s just me but that ending reminded me so much of the departed

I'm hoping that the final episode is 90 minutes. With as much ground as there is to cover, I think the story definitely justifies it.

@2:30 - the loudest voice against the mining company is killed in a hidden cave, probably by that mining company so... they pay a police officer to take the body out of the cave and left in public with the toungue cut out,, on the theory that sends more of a message than just disappearing her? Creating evidence that there was definitely a murder to be solved, in which the company has the greatest motive? It's almost like the writers have never even watched a murder mystery, never mind written one. Almost exactly like.

The corpse pyramid was found on a plain and not really buried beneath tons of snow. So.... what avalanche? :) Geez the coverup is so blatant.

I need the full movie version of this

Does anyone know which song Hank played? It has Johny Cash vibes

You can very easily tell that this was a show written as something else and then retooled to be a "True Detective" season. Unfortunately, the changes are so blatantly hamfisted that someone as slow as me can pick them out at first glance.

One thing that has not been explained has been the power outages, surges, weird electrical sounds and random static noises…

1) Anne K was dating Raymond in secret. She would just be using him to get information on what she was digging. While she had her own reasons to be investigating what the mine was doing, she would have her own boyfriend or Raymond his own GF. As it came from her, so she might have had a boyfriend. So she might have being murdered by passion, reason why she got stabed multiple times and not by the mine or an agent from the mine itself. 2) Being Navarro the person who "knows more about the Anne K case", I'd like to point that her relationship with Qavvik doen't get me at all. So in my humble opionion, she approached him to investigate him as we have seen she sneaking into him at least twice. I don't think he's just a support character to her. So he could be the Anne K boyfriend who discovered her relationship with Richard and killed her by passion. Simple as that. If this is true, the mine decided to drop her body to everybody see it and understand as a message. They just liked it. 3) The two womans from the factory will play for sure a role in the final episode. But I think they are connected to the Turtle cult.

I don't know what to think about last night's episode!

You know...back in prior episodes when they found Annie's phone in the trailer? Well....she had it on her when she died....that means Clark was there when she was killed....

unpopular opinion: this season is sooooooooo slow. I was intrigued by the mystery of the first episode but it seems as if every episode is 1 step forward then 2 steps back. No payoffs that hook. Will they resolve this satisfyingly with just one episode remaining..idk

i think pete is the killer. his dad hank kept saying 'blood is blood' as a reminder to his son that he protected him by moving annie k.'s body... that's why pete shot him, he thought he was going to reveal the truth.

About Hank and Kate...well "we are counting on you" did raise my suspicions when they were first interacting. It just wasn't bluntly obvious .

I've heard that the finale is going to be longer. I've heard 80 mins, I've also heard 90 mins, but I can't find anything confirming

Can someone explain the wheeler case why did the woman have bruises on wrong side of her face ?

The kid who was made to ask the right question is going to solve this.

What about the fact that they claimed the corpsicle was caused by a weather event? That seemed to be a pretty important part... This was a great episode though!

I didn't see that ending coming!!!! I thought Pete wasn't gonna shot his dad!!!

Wait, how is Navarro involved in the crash that is believed to have killed Liz’s husband and son? This is the first that I’ve heard you mention that her partner was involved and now I’m thinking about how Navarro has had visions of the one eyed bear. Are there other clues / references to this? Did this cause the rift between Navarro and Liz more so than the Wheeler case? Did you explore this theory in an earlier video?

My next door neighbour’s name is Peter Pryor from Scotland!

Maybe Blair lost a baby to. Her violent boyfriend killed Annie because he belived it was her fault. She was a midwife. But then Blair killed the men at Tsalal

My guess is some illegal experimenting with children that died in childbirth, in ice tunnels, it was mentioned in 1st episode, about trying to get cure for cancers etc, olus a bit of supernatural thrown in somehow

Another important moment about Blair and her colleague… we saw them after they had bent the law a little to defend and get revenge on an attack on Blair. He was literally knocked out and his injuries were far worse than hers this time.

So this is out? I thought they dropped on Sundays?

this season sux. how is the coast gaurd more competent than detectives? they found a naked body in the ocean at night and also knew it was a suicide....and identified the body immediately. instead of building a story out of cleverly placed clues and using deduction to solve a mystery, ghosts of dead people basically handhold detectives while the audience is bogged down with arbitrary character development.

it has an overall feel like Twin Peaks

Could there be a season 2?

Billie Eillishes song at the beginning says it all. If you know what it is, then it is, if you dont, then it isnt.

I wouldn't completely rule out Pete NOT being a bad guy...

Heiss’s story sounds like the Wendigo

I think Navaro is doing things and thats it. 😅

THIS is a smaller story of the plot of Earth and humanity honestly.

The polar bear is missing an eye just like Holden's stuffed bear, so the bear is a symbol of the dead. I knew Hank was involved but I was thinking he was the killer. I was also thinking Evangeline's mother was killed by Hank or whoever the killer is. Or possibly committed suicide just like Julia did. Evangeline, Julia and her mother can see those who have died. Just like Rose.

I believe Annie did not love Clark & he was a means to an end. This is why she desperately wanted to go with her friend to the site; & then wanted to keep the relationship secret (from the town, the village, & also the other researchers & mining co). I believe this became obvious to Clark and out of heartbreak, he killed her. I believe out of guilt, he killed his comrades. The trailer shows how he dealt with her guilt. He made a shrine to her, went crazy, cried all the time. I believe they all knew of her death and his grief, & that’s why they ignored him. He eventually killed them all. I also believe after he killed her, he kept her tongue; and that’s why it was found at the facility. I believe her tongue was cut before she was moved. I also wonder if Kate told Clark Annie’s true motive & he snapped, or did Clark go to Kate afterwards and she recruited Hank to move her! Also, I thought Otis just got shot in the shoulder

Hear me out-it’s like Fight Club. Navarro has an alter ego, Rose Agineau, who Navarro sees as a separate person. Unbeknownst to Navarro, her alter ego has an underground following symbolized by the spiral. Blair is one of her followers.

This is really good season

I think Navarro will find out her native name last episode

Theres gina be no payoff with the spiral/Tuttle cult, rust or anything to do with season 1. Its just a cheap way 2 gwt fans of season 1 into this season.

The final episode is an hour and a half luckily.

What does Navarro's boyfriend know?

Some people say why only 6 episodes, like season 1 had 20. Season 1 had only 8 episodes.

How TF was Otis scoring H all those years on the frigging ice??! Seriously? I know its the least unbelievable thing but its that fact is what makes me wanna go all rust cole on this case! I hope they track down his dealer for some closure. It's the only mystery I'm seeing. I was into this series until episode 4. 4 and 5 feel quite bad. Hmmmm 1 more to go!

It was certainly an amazing episode.

If they don’t answer wtf is up with the orange, ill be ticked! lol

Pete is definitely a true detective

Where the hell did you watch episode 5? Iant it out tomorrow?

I think the finale will be a longer episode.

Maybe they’re expecting a night country season 2 and it’s not guna all get tied up next week.

Does anyone else think Kate is Hank’s big sister? The way she calls him Henry and is able to manipulate him, that’s the vibe I picked up. If so, poor Pete is gonna have to deal with his evil Aunt in the finale 🫣

A convenient episode filled with relevations to further the plot. The boss somehow knows wheeler case is sus to keep things copasetic.The dad cop doubles down on his corruption to be so sloppy to confront in a house kill a possible witness and then say just so you know i didnt kill annie k i just moved her. His son kills him as he thinks his son wouldn't? I mean the convenient factor in this episode was blatant. It seems the show relies on spooky imagery and slight mystery wrapped in social/family dynamics. The mystery of the show really is what's the endgame? The case of the show really has been minimized and at this point seems to not even matter. Most likely just a show about corruption and marginalization and gentrification of minorities wrapped in family dynamic drama.

$10. says the Russian wife shows up ha ha

If I’ve learned anything about shows that have a ton of loose ends to tie up by the last episode… it’s never satisfying. Another wasted true detective season

the cave is filled with all the dead bodies when the cave collapsed 30 yrs ago.

This last episode will be the first time someone else will see Rose. Or maybe they wont.

i really think this season should have 8 episodes like the previous seasons. 🤔

So I predict that the scientists/the mine were responsible for Annie's death and that Raymond Clark killed the scientists in revenge.

Finale is about 85 mins

The spiralis the Fibonacci spiral. lookot up.

They’ve said it’ll be 90min

I think it’s the guy running for mayor… he has too much to gain.

I don’t think it made sense that Hank shot Otis in front of Liz and then tried to kill her. It didn’t fit the character other than to make the story go forward. And then just admit he moved Annie Ks body. Kinda silly. We were supposed to believe he was so depressed from being catfished that he’d do anything??? Last episode better not leave loose ends or wrap things up in a stupid way.

The penultimate episode usually brings the goods. This season only brings dog shit.

your favorite? not mine lol. been loving the season so far but i thought this ep was terrible because of the kill scene. that was trash, rushed, and forced in like 2 or 3 different ways

I'm left wondering why only 6 episodes? They're doing a great job bringing in the arc but what dumbass producer came up with that arbitrary limit? Is the CEO of HBO buying a new solid gold back scratcher?

BroFlakes: “SPIRAL!!! Carcosa!!!” 🌀 Critical Thinkers/ Readers: “Navarro is Sedna 🪐. The spiral has been a red herring.” Btw - the answers are in almost every character’s surname.

Blair is the killer she’s Sedna

hopefully the same scumbags that wrote the last season of GOT aren't involved with this one.

We feel bad about Prior only because The writers want us to turn our sight in other direction, Prior is in deed a Pawn of the true evil here, remeber which is the best devil's Trick.😮 it wasn't his dad the one who took leaked the Info from Prior's laptop, it was Prior himself, and he had to shot his dad not for Danvers's life but only because Hank was about to meses a darker and more complicated plot.

This show is confusing me! I just keep falling asleep!
