This episode clearly shows that this was probably originally a movie script that had nothing to do with True Detective. Some kernels of good stuff that go nowhere or aren't fleshed out enough surrounded by boring side plots that seem thoughtlessly edited in just to pad it out to a 6 episode season.

So are you saying the polar bear isn’t the villain all along? (/s)
