I thought that was kind of boring for a season finale, no real big sting or gamechanger like Lost had so many times Watch Lost if you haven't. It has much stronger characters and they actually do answer most of the mysteries. Lost was like the number one example of people being bad at watching TV shows. The live thread for the finale was ridiculous

Those cave drawings give me The Forest (game) vibes, btw. Narmi posted:So, was there any reason they didn't build the radio receiver inside? That seems like it would have worked better than what they did since they'd have to a) leave it outside at night (exposed to the elements/with the monsters) or b) have to dismantle it and bring it inside at night. And I assume they didn't put the receiver inside because of Drama. boquiabierta posted:Did Abby become one of the monsters? Hughmoris posted:*Also, what the hell is up with that radio voice speaking to Jim.  It was a classic "the call is coming from inside the house" moment.Martman posted:edit: my current theory is that this basically is an escape room, set up by godly or alien figures for stupid, cruel, and/or inscrutable reasons. It would be a good way to get around the expectations of Lost stuff, where so many of the "answers" to mysteries were simply that a weird magic thing existed just because. I really feel like there is a stronger undercurrent of malevolence in the origins of the From space, although it also seems clear that there are different magical entities with entirely different goals working to influence people.

itry posted:I hope it was just an hallucination. She probably can't be the voice that spoke to Abby (if that's who it was) and that thing at the same time. What voice spoke to Abby? Do you mean the voices that spoke to Sara? As far as I recall, Abby didn't hear voices, she just lost her mind convinced they were stuck in a nightmare. Man I really want to rewatch Lost now but starting with like season 3. I don't think I need to see the beach season and the hatch season again. But goddd was that show fun when we were in the midst of it.

I enjoyed this show but I don't think I'll be coming back for S2. I'm so tired of this everything-and-the-kitchen-sink magical bullshit mysteries. I like the moment-to-moment character interactions, the ending stinger looks pretty interesting with potential new cast, but all the other stuff is just extremely meh and I can't see it resolving in a satisfactory way. I think the moment a magical mysterious child appeared I knew where this is headed. I'm just over this type of story.

No word on season 2 renewal? Someone needs to spend a night in the box... *Also, how lovely must it have been in the early days where they were literally hiding in a hole every night?

Martman posted:I was gonna say it jokingly, but maybe he's actually still pretty young and got "time-skipped" by some magic poo poo. Or put in some kind of hibernation for a long time or something. It would help to explain him seeming kinda childlike, but who knows He's probably been on his own since he was 10. If anything he should be weirder. Or dead.

itry posted:He's probably been on his own since he was 10. If anything he should be weirder. Or dead. It seems like The Boy in White helped him survive or pick up the tricks to survive on his own until Boyd showed up. Solid season, lots of hanging threads left for season 2. The bus with (probably) Kristi's fiancee, the underground caves, the spider queen, the lighthouse, Boyd in a well, Sara's connection to the voices, the random dates in the bottle tree that probably match up with the dates carved into the wall that Tabitha saw in her dream, Jade's vision from colonial times. I'm sure I missed some here too.

I just watched the first season, so I’m pulling this thread back up to say that I liked it. I notice a lot of Lost alumni in the credits, so I hope this will be a refinement of the elements that made Lost so enjoyable, especially the series-long mysteries. I like that the show is encouraging the audience to figure it out, up to the point of putting questions to think about on a big wall. Something I didn’t see in the thread: the monsters can’t just be dedicated to tormenting and killing the people, as they don’t do a tenth of what they could to demoralize and antagonize the people. They don’t disturb graves or put dead loved ones in front of the doorways, or set buildings on fire, or destroy the crops and kill the animals. Like the difference between howling and whispering, they seem to be following a more complex set of rules that involves but is not dedicated to killing and tormenting the people trapped there. I wondered if perhaps they’re not physically present but just like spirits or pure mind, tearing people apart with telekinesis or something. But they can’t be psychic either, because then they would have known where all the spider holes were and everyone was hiding before the people found those ward/mezuzah rocks. They might just be spying on people by listening in from underground during the day and also have some kind of persuasive effect. Also some of them have worn and dirty clothes. Also it’s weird that a bunch of 1960s Americans would make ancient-looking cave paintings in the style of ancient American Indian art. I’m sure that cave painting isn’t in the style of a particular culture, but it looks reminiscent of Puebloan petroglyphs in the American southwest. I’m disappointed that Victor’s body covers most of the giant red Cthulhu thing in the middle that seems to precede a ritual with a bunch of graves and turn most of the white figures red, if there’s a narrative reading left-to-right in that image. The town also seems like it has to be a facsimile of a real place or a creation of that place, as if a real street were transported from somewhere else, the houses would all have proper wiring and plumbing regardless of whatever magical furnishings could appear later. Anyway, I’m into it. I like that there’s just a small bit of relationship drama that is reasonable for the characters’ circumstances but that they don’t sweat basically irrelevant stuff like the daughter getting blown off by Fatima moments before a monster attack.

I forget, did the characters ever wonder about why only people in the continental US ended up in the town? Seems strange that whatever entity chose them (or whatever) didn't want anyone from, say, Ontario or Tijuana.

May as well ask why the town looks vaguely like 60's Americana and not 19th century Bavaria or w/e. Don't budget shame. Edit: Sherrif guy had that map in his office trying to track where people were when they hit that mystery road. So I guess the answer is yeah, kinda. itry fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Mar 20, 2023 |

itry posted:Those cave drawings give me The Forest (game) vibes, btw. I binged the first season in three days after stumbling on this thread. Great name for a TV show, guys. A+ discoverability. But the show itself was excellent. As someone who sat through all of Lost, I am a bit worried about them trying to bring in too many new elements because we all remember how that worked out for Lost, but hopefully this time it'll go better. Thought about the cave drawing: could those be simple representations of scenes we saw in the show, and possibly scenes we haven't seen yet? For some reason that scene to the left of Victor reminds me of the scene where he's digging a bunch of graves and Donna(?) goes out to yell at him for freaking everyone out. To the right of Victor we see that trapezoid (the radio mast was kind of trapezoid shaped) with either birds, or possibly crude representations of radio waves, echoing out of it. Of course it could just as easily be a crude retelling of how the original people who found the town came to it and what happened to the (got the poo poo murdered out of them). E: holy loving poo poo do not go on either of the show's subreddits. I took a peek in case there were some fun theories or observations around and instead it's just a bunch of people whining endlessly about how it's unrealistic that people are around each other when nobody can shower and also it's dumb that the monsters got on the roof of the commune house's porch because that's clearly impossible.

Don’t they have running water? My memory of the Reddit while the first season was running was that a lot of people thought it was obvious that the sheriff’s son and his girlfriend were obviously grooming the teen daughter for some terrible purpose (maybe just gross swinger stuff) and were extremely confused when it turned out that they were just nice and wanted to make a friend. That does seem partially down to bad writing and weird choices in direction and editing, though.

They somehow have electricity, so why not hot water. They probably get magical soap deliveries too, along with the animals.Shaman Tank Spec posted:Thought about the cave drawing: could those be simple representations of scenes we saw in the show, and possibly scenes we haven't seen yet?

To the right of Victor we see that trapezoid (the radio mast was kind of trapezoid shaped) with either birds, or possibly crude representations of radio waves, echoing out of it. It could also just be them being repelled by the symbol. It feels purposefully vague. I wonder what the red thing in the middle in front of Victor is. I tried to get a better look at it but they just didn't take a clear shot of it.
