True Detective Is Over, But Its Ghosts Remain


Night Country’s showrunner and star explain their interpretations of Navarro’s ambiguous fate.

The figure is the whispered-about She the scientists woke up with their experiments and pissed off by killing Annie K.; to Reis, She is “Mother Earth,” while López says she overlaps in abilities and aesthetics with Sedna, the Inuit goddess of the sea. The actress praises the Justice Ladies for their act of accountability and is convinced — as Navarro was — that they were helped by the “She” who leader Beatrice (Diane Benson) suggests “ate [the men’s] fucking dreams from the inside out and spit their frozen bones.” (There is a distinctly queer reading of this scene, Vulture features writer Rachel Handler notes, and it’s that the former partners “got together at the end and are at a lake house doing crosswords and drinking tea.”) For her part, Reis says she left her character’s conclusion “open.” Maybe Navarro is still alive and living off the grid, or maybe she’s a ghost dropping in on Danvers from the supernatural plane.
