I don't know why the Black Tapes is trying SO HARD to avoid telling the story it's obviously telling.

Maybe they don't want to tell it, which I guess I can understand. They may have accidentally written a story about a demon wanting to end the world with a song, but wanted to have a different thing where you weren't supposed to pick up on the profane rituals being performed and instead be always wondering what exactly is going on. But fuckin' poo poo, like... okay:

You're whispering a goddamn demon's name in your sleep, you HEAR someone you know speak incantations into a baby's ear and then when someone tells you about "awakening the children" or whatever you can't fuckin' put two and goddamn two together what the gently caress and I'm left wondering if the hosts are being willfully stupid or if they just can't actually bring themselves to write out the story they're clearly making.

Even in season 1 it was fairly obvious that all of the monsters of the week were the same sort of shadow people.

I did it all at once, so the thing that made me really love the Black Tapes was seeing all those things come together and realizing how everything was connected. It was some real "oh poo poo" moments for me when I started seeing connections to stuff and putting together the overarching story. But they seem just unwilling to tell that story.
