MAX's True Detective Season 4 brings its audience to Alaska after a group of scientists mysteriously vanished. What is the true TSALAL meaning in True Detective Season 4? In Hebrew, the word "TSALAL" was used in the Old Testament to say "to be, to become, or to grow dark." In the literary industry, the first English writer to have gained notoriety for using this word was Edgar Allan Poe. He used the word in his 1838 story, entitled The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. In the story, Tsalal was the name of the mysterious Antarctic island that a group of violent and cannibalistic natives inhabited. This story was later continued by Julius Verne, 50 years after Poe died in his 1897 story, entitled An Antarctic Mystery.

In the town of Ennis, Alaska, the eight men working at the Tsalal Research Station all disappear, with only a woman's severed tongue left behind at the scene. Chief Liz Danvers deduces that the tongue belonged to an Indigenous woman. Trooper Evangeline Navarro believes the victim to be Anne Kowtok, an Iñupiat woman who was stabbed to death with her tongue cut out after protesting the construction of a local mine; the case remains unsolved after six years, which Navarro blames on Danvers. Danvers soon uncovers a possible connection between Anne and a parka worn by one of the researchers in a photograph, and returns to Tsalal, where she finds Navarro also inspecting the facility.

Season 4 of True Detective is set in the town of Ennis, Alaska, located 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle, as a banner of text makes clear early on in the Jan. 12 premiere. With Jodie Foster as the lead, and Issa López as the new writer and director, the fourth season follows the disappearance of eight men from a research station and how it might be linked to the unsolved murder of an indigenous woman. There's also a ghost named Travis. Ennis isn't a real town, but the show was based on a real area in the northernmost state: North Slope Borough, Alaska.

Hastur, also known as the Yellow King, is a fictional cosmic entity that first appeared in Ambrose Bierce's short story Haïta the Shepherd (1893) and was later expanded on by Robert W. Chambers, H.P. Lovecraft and August Derleth. He could be considered as the unseen antagonist of Season 1.

"Someone once told me, 'Time is a flat circle. ' Everything we've ever done or will do, we're gonna do over and over and over again."

King in Yellow horned skull.

Showrunner Issa López has stocked her Season 4 of True Detective with references to culture, history, and true crime that both reinforce the themes of Night Country and draw a straight line between it and True Detective’s rich past, particularly the show’s zeitgeist-grabbing 2014 first season. For instance, the crab processing plant where we meet Kali Reis’s Evangeline Navarro is named “Blue King,” which also seems like a callback to Chambers. Could it be related to The Yellow King?

Basically a detective quote for true crime fans and murderinos. Solve a murder, research a serial killer, obsess over a podcast. You may be a true crime junkie.
