A friend who is a network series writer has told me that for traditional TV writing - as opposed to movies - the general rule is that you make sure every major plot point is mentioned twice at different times precisely because of what you’re mentioning: you expect your viewer more than likely to be distracted during…

Well it was a quick “sign in with Google” account creation process, my first Kinja profile, it’s not like I’m trying to hide this away from another “main” account or whatever. Not sure why I would, it’s not like I’m hiding from you.

You seem to be hiding your opinions on the topic though, behind all this unpleasantness…

The plush polar bear actually shows up in the first episode, right before Navarro sees the real one and the plush is definitely missing its eye.

“But it’s a whole other thing to have one of said inhabitants roaming around the tundra nude and newly thawed from a human iceberg. Let the creepiness continue!”

My take on this was that the missing researcher was never in the frozen mass of corpses, and this was only discovered after they thawed and the snow and ice…

“it’s a whole other thing to have one of said inhabitants roaming around the tundra nude and newly thawed from a human iceberg.”

We going to talk about the stuffed polar bear missing an eye like the one Navarro saw?

Ys, it was. She gets told that over the phone. Jfc, what’s with the multiple people in the comments criticizing the article because they are apparently incapable of following the show, even though it’s streaming and you can pause and/or rewind whenever necessary?

“it’s a whole other thing to have one of said inhabitants roaming around the tundra nude and newly thawed from a human iceberg.”

Unless I missed something (always a possibility), I do not think that Clark was thawed from a human iceberg. I think he was never among the frozen bodies. There was one frozen body with the spiral symbol drawn on his forehead, but Clark had it on his chest.

That’s from the phone call as she’s walking into the high school and juggling the conversation with the nurse with the police radio.

Quick chopping and chainsawing would do that. And also not sure about taking 48 hours, it’s just from the police guidebook on frozen corpses. Might takes longer in this case, especially now that the case is definitely connected to Annie, which means Danvers might have jurisdiction to keep it in Ennis instead of…

So far a good job of making this story and its characters feel “lived in”.
Little slices of stir crazy and loneliness and hormones and grudges and secrets.

Life in a northern town.

Was that actually a corpse? I thought it was a dummy made with stuffed clothes. I don’t think the officers would have rushed over to the rink and left a body/crime scene unattended.

Yukari is introduced outside of the girl’s perception...she oversleeps the first day of work, then steals a kids bike. Then she rushes into the wrong classroom to give her introduction, when they tell her she goes to the right room and THEN meets the girls.

Someone who supports a (usually) romantic pair-up in fictional setting. The ‘ship’ in shipper is short for ‘relationship’. 

The interest in the Halo IP wasn’t because Bungie logo wasn’t on to box, it was because the studio taking over wasn’t up to snuff among other things.

The two logos are very visually distinct, and even in abbreviation rockstar is R*, not R. I wish rockstar good luck, they’ll need it.

I would love for Microsoft to come around and sue Take-Two and Rockstar for the use of the “R” logo as it infringes their own Rare logo, just out of principle. They could even come up with a licensing agreement with Remedy to use its “R” logo.

It’s really stupid, because Remedy has not only always had some sort of R as their logo, but they were formed BEFORE ROCKSTAR.

Seems like this won’t (or shouldn’t) go anywhere. The two logos are very distinct in style and color scheme, and the full name of Remedy at the bottom of their logo really clinches it. Nobody is buying a Remedy game by accident thinking it’s a Rockstar title, or vice versa.
