Its not too hard to imagine a fraudulent survey, though you have a point. Having been one of those nerds, I personally would never have conducted a fraudulent survey, but I also don’t know what firm they used and what the details of the survey were. I’m sure it’ll surface at some point (if it even exists).

Absolutely. From what I can tell it looks like misconduct. It seems that the pipeline company had a survey conducted that it turns out directly contradicts the survey conducted independently by the tribe, and rushed to do the damage before they had to see their day in court. So it looks like they conducted a…

Came here to say this. This shouldn’t even be possible, legally. NHPA should prevent it.

How on earth did this happen? I’m an archaeologist, and in the past I’ve done work where our job was to survey construction sites before construction occurred to make sure this sort of thing didn’t happen. Its illegal to break ground on an archaeological site.

I would argue that rape is prevalent in horror because its horrifying. This begs the question: Is rape ever okay in a story? What is required to elevate rape above the exploitative? Horror is a genre that contains all manner of deplorable things, what makes sexual assault tasteless in a way that dismemberment or…

Fuck. This. Guy.

Agreed. It is one of my favorite books. That or Suttree

This is the best comment

Wait, they switched passports? Like, the boys did it themselves????

I have. But just because a kid is “unaccompanied” (not with a parent or guardian) does not mean they should be alone. And clearly that was the case here, because if someone were monitoring this child the mixup wouldn’t have occurred. I could believe one monitoring staff member fucking up, but two?

I know why the child would be flying, not why they'd be flying alone. I'm amazed they don't assign a staff member to every unaccompanied minor.

If that's the case, I don't see how it happened either. Someone severely fucked up

But why not allocate staff time to watch them? I mean, is no one escorting them?

But why are two five year olds flying alone on international flights?

That doesn’t make any sense, if that was the goal he could’ve come up with much more damning evidence against him. The guy was regularly smuggling drugs for him, assisting him in murder, beating his fellow inmates... And as this article points out, the same security camera that recorded the kiss recorded the drug…

By helping Naz at every turn (the shirt, the jumpsuit) and especially by sending Stone the tape and trying to force a mistrial.

And yet, he actively conspires to get him released, only to be pissed when it actually happens. His character (like most of the characters in this show) doesn't make a whole lot of sense

To your last point, I’d counter that the reason “Omar” (Michael K. Williams is basically the same fantastic character in every show) was so into Naz was that he was a profoundly lonely man. Naz was someone he could identify with and confide in, someone who he believed matched his intellect. The problem was that this…

Agreed. I think the issue was that each episode, on its own, was trying to be a different show. While the pilot was a straight up intense murder mystery, subsequent episodes would be their own genre. One episode is a courtroom drama, another is a prison show... And its these tonal inconsistencies that made the show so…
