Ahhh...okay. That's a cool connection. Don't need anything more than that.

She was also a major character in Killing Eve.
I suppose but this is an open discussion thread. If it had been one of my own threads, I would've put up the spoiler tag for the thread at this point.
I can't help wondering if they're going for an actual supernatural element in this season. It certainly seems that way so far, but that would be a big departure for the series. Despite the fact that its villains were ritualistic demon worshipers, season 1 didn't actually have anything provably supernatural going on. Cohle's visions, including the final one where he was able to see the 'infernal plane' Childress hoped to ascend to, were chalked up to aftereffects of his drug use while undercover.
The severed tongue made me think of Twin Peaks season 3.

Finally got chance to watch the second episode...and fuck, that's one hell of a cold (heh) opening. How could someone possibly survive?!
Going down the rabbit hole straight to Clark feels too easy, right down to the direction connection with Navarro's case, and we're only two episodes deep. Clearly there must be more going on...and it deals with whomever "she" is.
There are definitely a lot of direct connections with the first season...including Travis Cohle. I didn't even pick up on Travis' last name being Cohle and therefore Rust's father until just now when I looked at the cast credits on Wikipedia.

Yeah, that is a curious twist, especially when you remember that this season was originally a standalone idea of Issa López's until someone at HBO suggested bringing it under the True Detective umbrella. Perhaps there is more than meets the eye going on but everything going on with Rose suggests otherwise.

Really? I would recognize that impish smirk and twinkle in his eye anywhere. Either way, I'm glad he has arrived on the scene and, of course, with a complicated relationship with Danvers.
I missed that completely.The Nth Doctor said:
As you say, without looking at wikipedia I wouldn't have had any idea the name was spelled that way. And "Cole" by itself wouldn't have rung any bells.I did catch the Tuttle reference, of course. ( For whatever reason I actually had thought we would get a Tuttle namedrop in season 2. )
I did not know that. But it makes sense. I wonder if Pizzolatto had to sign off on that?
Some people online claim that the 'spirit world' was a factor in the previous seasons of the show, but I don't really lean that way. This season seems to have veered into sci-fi territory which feels like a significant departure.
Well.
We're definitely deep in the supernatural now.
I, too, am not sure how I feel about it. I feel like the show is walking a very fine line now. It has the potential of being fascinating...or just grotesque. I really, really hope it doesn't tip into the latter.
I'm still fully engaged and not just for Jodie Foster, but I am little apprehensive of what remains.

Doesn't sound like he's had much say about things at all, in fact he's been quite disparaging about it
It does seem to be leaning into the supernatural which was only ever a peripheral part of S1 (and I can't remember whether there were any references in 2&3) but I'm a sucker for scary stuff on the ice as a subgenre so I'm all in! And Jodi Foster is fantastic.
Eccleston and Foster
doing the nasty though
Merry fucking Christmas. We're fully down that supernatural rabbit hole, for better or for worse, but as of right now, I'm all in. Creepy white-eyed ghosts, one-eyed polar bears, and all!
As for how it relates to the rest of True Detective, I'm indifferent to what Pizzolatto thinks. It's been so long since I've seen the first one that I have to be reminded of any and all references (including Carcosa) and season two was a complete wash. I'm sorry he doesn't like this season but I've found it extremely effective so far.
My heart breaks for Navarro. I cannot imagine the tortured pain she is going through, from Annie's death haunting her to her sister committing suicide after a long struggle with mental illness, with everything in between. And now she apparently she's seeing ghosts?
The cold, unrelenting, bitter, isolated, darkness of Alaska is such a perfect setting for this season and I'm loving it all. Even if it means I'm not going to sleep well tonight...

The weird thing about Annie is that at least her death seemed to be peaceful, I wonder if that's what she was trying to do when Danvers found her earlier, although obviously she was far more agitated.
I'm glad they explained WTF Eccleston was doing!
I do think it's a shame they've tied this in to True Detective, but have to say, so far it's probably my favourite season after the first so far.
When Prior went out on Christmas Eve with Navaro I had a horrible feeling he was going to die!

Wait... you mean Julia, not Annie, right? Otherwise I'm confused... whatever happened in her phone video, she wasn't peaceful.
Yeah, Starkers definitely means Julia. Honestly, I forgot her name, too, and Annie's has come up more often so an understandable mistake.
I think the only mistake in tying it in with True Detective is that this story stands strongly on its own without needing to tie it in with a larger mystery.
Ah crap! Sorry I misread @The Nth Doctor's post. I am terrible with names, think I could only name about four characters at the moment. Eccleston is Captain something or other for example!
