TRUE DETECTIVE Season 4 Episode 2 Ending Explained 

What did you think of True Detective Night Country Episode 2? Let me know your thoughts below!

One thing about this season because of the lack of sun…I never know what time is it…is it morning or lunchtime…it’s makes it different in a good way

The young child was her son, I thought that was obvious

Idk why a lot of people are showing distaste toward this season so far? I like the vibe and I think it’s going in a very slow burn kind of direction which is pretty true to the shows theme. The subtle callbacks and references to season one didn’t feel too forced and were cool to hear. People also forget the supernatural type of elements are very prevalent in Alaska and to the show in general. Rust had full on hallucinations about the universe in season one and that was very interesting because you didn’t know if it was real, he had mild schizophrenia etc from his trauma, or a mix of both. Overall I’m pretty excited to see where they take it and hope they have a stellar twist/reveal in the end which I think they will.

I really hope Matthew McConaughey comes back for a guest appearance!! They are basically teasing his return the entire episode

*I think Annie's body is at the research center, and the experimentation of bringing her back to life with their immortality research went horribly wrong. That's why her tongue was on-site.*

The spiral symbol represents Carcosa, a realm outside of time and space, and is heavily referenced in the first season of true detective.

What about the Travis Cohle and Tuttle connection from season 1?

The screaming frozen man in the beginning. DID EVERYONE CASUALLY FORGET THAT?!?!

You just gonna skip over that the Tuttle's are running the research facility and that Travis is Rust's father?

My thoughts so far: I think her husband and son passed away in a car accident. (Since in Episode 1, Leah had a panic attack when they skidded on the ice and she asked why they don't talk about "the accident.") Maybe it was some indigenous ritual for father and son they attended? So...I keep saying "aliens." I think Clark led them out there on the ice, but how? I can't help but think that he killed Annie. (And kept her tongue??) I agree that he may be seeing her spirit. I'd hate to think that she took revenge on all of the scientists...for what? I don't want to contemplate that. I'm a hopeless romantic and want to think that Clark did love her. (But HAD to kill her?) Any of y'all notice that Hank just stands around and doesn't work. Not taking orders from Jodi Foster's character (Liz)? He would've kept the records at his house because somehow the police (or someone in the PD) are involved with Annie's death? I want to know Liz and Navarro's background. Something went really wrong with them two. ALIENS??? lolol

I haven’t read comments, but anyone notice it’s an exact excerpt from The Dark Tower? “The fabric of things is thin and the world is old” is almost word for word. They called spots like that a Thinny. And guess who was The Man in Black, aka Red King? Matthew M. And they also had similar facilities at the Beam stations in Dark Tower. Then there’s “The gunslinger fled across the desert, and the man in black followed.” It’s literally called The Wasteland. If that’s not an Ennis type place, nothing is. In season 1, the Iron Crusader dude literally said “I need a gunslinger.” Again, Roland was literally the last Gunslinger. also, if remember, Roland and Jake had to fight the giant bear. That’s a lot of connections. Just realized the whole time is a circle thing is also in the Dark Tower. Roland/Rustin is doing the loop again and again and again. Time is a flat circle and so on.

So I believe there’s going to be an expectation switch with Rose and Evangeline. Rose is telling her those things because her sister is not crazy and hitting dead people, but Evangeline is on the way to becoming crazy.

The symbol is for carcosa which was also featured in the first season of true detective. It stems from a couple of books one written by Ambrose Bierce and the other a book called The yellow King.

Great video man!!

I love this season already that show is wild 😜 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s chilling never really knowing what time of day it is other than minor nods to a child’s bedtime or what they may be eating

Hank’s “fiancé” is a classic scam. The grammar in the text messages are pretty clear, plus the guilt they use to get more money. It’s pretty common with the elderly and lonely older men.

I LOVE THIS SEASON SO FAR! ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS REVEALED THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SEASON ONE! (TRAVIS Cohle was Rust's father, the spiral symbol, and the TUTTLE FAMILY popping up showing just how far their reach us) Lovin thus season and all the cast is PHENOMENAL!

great series so far

Anyone knows the song at the end of this episode?

Glad the episodes are longer

Hate how it took us 24mins to get to the analysis of the bodies...

She used the full name Travis Cohle, so that's Rust Cohle's father, the ghost guy...(Matt McConaughey was Rust Cohle in season 1)

What was that opening scene of scientists screaming even though they are dead?

how about this was the same spiral from season 1?

Anyone else think the boys at TSALAL were playing “video games” made by Tuttle United?

One thing that occurred to me, Peter’s chick is flipping out that he’s putting so much time into work. You’re talking about a sleepy little Alaskan town where this is the biggest thing that’s happened in forever. I would imagine he’s getting home on time like every single night, and thus far the show has only gone the span of what, two days in the show’s timeline? This chick is freaking out like he’s some grizzled veteran police officer who’s been grinding out long nights for a year. Just more shitty writing.

Can you explain what the relationship is between Liz’s step daughter and the young cop and his wife, I must’ve missed it somehow?

So,the woman from the crab place w/the missing fingers "matches" the prints on the clothes...

I thought his name was Raymond Clark not Howard Clark - he's an old golfer right? Lmao😂

The dark eyes were also prevalent in the season that takes place Southern California - they follow the gangster, Frank, around as stains - water stains on the celing and coffee stains on the table cloth.

Can someone explain to me Navarro is driving her police car runs over some snow and then she reaches somewhere and pulls out a crucifix? Can someone explain what happened in that scene to me?

Christopher Eccelstone played a blinding roll.

Its been good so far it has a mary celeste dyatlov pass vibe to it i like

What are they actually mining? did I miss that?

All photos taken are of people when they were younger :)

Im just confused about the whole family dynamic between all of the characters. Who is related to who? Either by blood or marriage?

Didn't rose say Travis drowned himself?

Great story telling so far forcing the audience to feel uneasy and ask questions...with what we think are supernatural elements coming in, the yearning for sesson 1 feel good modern western element expectations will be removed...lets see if this is a good move

Travis is Rust’s father from season 1

ThinkStory did A WAY BETTER COVERAGE OF THIS. Pretty much other shows. He did all the connections to the First Season

Clark is the name of one of the crew in the Thing

How on earth do you not mention how the same symbol was so prevalent in season 1?

I thought they said it wasn’t Annie’s tongue?

the child was holden her son not lea . that’s was quite obvious

Travis learns to type on a laptop from the beyond. Explains what happened. The End.

The symbol came up the 1st season. Rumor is rose and Travis had a son named rusty. Same rusty in season 1 who mentioned that he was from Alaska. Perhaps a continuation of the same cult.

I really like this season so far, but this season does not even feel like true detective of past seasons. Kinda weird but not complaining.

Good so far is like The Thing

everyone points out "the thing" on the shelf, no says anything about Death to Smoochy.

Racism or resentment? Danvers may resent the native beliefs as it may be something connected to the death of her husband & child. She has anger towards it & is showing no regard for it. It certainly triggers her & it is messing up her relationships, specially with her step daughter.

Spooooooky.

If it’s as cold as they are portraying it they need face coverings !

I think Liz don't like the tattoo because market het like 'very native' and she know that native women are more unfortunate of being murder, also in this context with go against the mine

Think you need to go and watch season 1 buddy

Was this AI written? That was her son.

Hank is involved with a classic “double catfish” she’s scamming him for money while he is claiming to be younger then he is. He is probably getting some Sexual videos or pics from her and he is sending money to her for them. He doesn’t realize he is paying directly for them because she probably claims to love him and does it out of that love but in reality she’s only doing it for the money.

😂😂😂. I got NO underlying racism from any of the episodes.

The young child is her dead son, NOT Leia. Not sure how you missed this, everyone with an accident is supposed to be intelligent!

It's slow enough to fast forward watch....both episodes. I thought the 3rd season was bad. Great actors....bad writers. Bring in rust and Cole to figure it out.

I think these first two episodes have made me realize something I've increasingly felt in the last two decades but never really acknowledged : Jodie Foster is just not a very good actress anymore. In fact, when I envision her in her best known roles, she's in fact merely a pretty good actor in amazing movies.

How the hell they realize a person is missing for the ice cube days later smh

The sex scene in episode 2 was unnecessary and weird.

I am keenly desirous of gaining additional insights into the intricate and captivating realm of the detective crime narrative embedded within the fabric of the show. However, my fervent inclination leans towards a divergence from the aforementioned focus, as I find myself yearning for a more profound exploration of the identity politics intricately interwoven into the narrative tapestry. Moreover, I harbor a distinct dissatisfaction with the portrayal of certain male characters within the show, perceiving them as feeble and impuissant individuals, utterly devoid of the competence required to fulfill their professional obligations with commendable efficacy. In articulating my sentiments regarding the show's thematic dynamics, I am compelled to express a heartfelt yearning for a more extensive and robust discourse revolving around the indomitable strength and resilience of female characters. In my humble estimation, the show would undoubtedly benefit from a heightened emphasis on fervent and empowering discussions among its female personas, thereby contributing to a more balanced and enriching viewing experience. In summation, while my initial quest was centered around delving deeper into the detective crime elements, my evolving contemplation underscores the imperative need for a nuanced exploration of identity politics and a pronounced elevation of fierce female dialogues within the narrative framework of the show.

I think that symbol is the sign of animism. It's a prerunner of religion, in that all places, things and beings have a spiritual essence.

This season seems really lazy and cheap so far. Did anyone notice those AI-generated posters in one scene? I am disappointed, given the great cast and interesting location.

its more supernatural and harry potter-ish compared to the other seasons. but the fuckin and suckin is pretty neat. game of thrones standard

Season 1 all time classic, to this pitiful excuse?! How the mighty have fallen.

Episode 2 was not realistic. 1. One person came back to life after being frozen to death for days, lol. 2. They have the corpsicles in a hockey ring, and after a day or two, they realize one is missing? How so? When they were accounted for already? Lol. This episode is so silly.

I was eagerly waiting for this season but found myself loosing interest and even dozing off in mid-show. With so many elaboreted endless "symbols" and "Clues" (the efford to reprise the first season's atmoshere is too obvious) ..... who really cares? Unsavory surroundings, unpleasant chracters, all of them, to boot.

When she laid the pictures out like DCI John Luther à la Bowie, I knew this season is going suck. Even the camera angles are are the same, very sloppy.

Show absolutely sux. Het woke go broke.

More themes of race and sexuality. 🥱 Modern Hollywood is dead 🫤
