One big plot point that was revealed in the final episode that makes no sense to me at all-- Clark said that it wasn’t the mine paying / prompting the Tsalal scientists to cover up the pollution data-- the scientists themselves were, because the pollution was softening up the permafrost, making it easier for them to extract the ancient microorganisms that were going to cure cancer and all that good stuff.
But the pollution was causing shit like stillbirths and genetic mutations-- was it really a good idea to let it permeate the permafrost that the microorganisms were in? Seems like a very bad plan.
It was even more blatant than that, there was a consistent pattern of people telling stories to other people while on screen we are being shown what actually happened was quite different.
We’re just getting around to watching it. There are way too many “that’s makes no sense” for my liking. I thought it was supposed to night. The whole dredge scene happens in semi-daylight. How could anyone have seen the guy at night and reported it? The engineer is supposed to be living in the dredge heated by a burn barrel? They are going to conduct a search (led by Hank) at night, above the arctic circle, at the end of December just by walking out into the darkness randomly? Navaro goes out to that fishing hut in the middle of nowhere. It has lights and heated by an electric space heater. Where is the electricity coming from? Everyone is frozen solid and one guy is still alive? There are so many things like this. I’ll watch it til the end just to see how it ends.
