And, the thing is, digging up and opening barrels marked as nuclear waste— when the powerplant owner that has been illegally hiding these barrels seems like he’s probably a murderer, and when absolutely nobody in the whole town seems willing to tell you anything about the six unsolved disappearances they seem uninterested in investigating— ISN’T an unreasonable thing to do. Aleksander himself says that concrete pool is more radioactive than the barrels themselves are, so that’s not even an excuse. It makes perfect sense for there to be bodies in those barrels! And the DARK writers could very well have had W. Clausen be motivated by reason, or at least have him try to explain any of this to anybody, before he opened those barrels and ended the world— but instead they decided to make him an intolerable asshole that everyone hates who constantly fixates on the most irrelevant, stupid shit possible and who makes everyone drive him around. I love this show.
