    @nunyab- 3 роки тому +568

    I find it most interesting when whatever these forces are don’t play on people’s preexisting fears, but instead twist something they enjoy until its unfamiliar and terrifying. This statement and Naomi’s, where a genuine preference for being alone becomes a source of misery and danger. That skydiving kid who loved jumping out of planes until the day he got glitched into an unending skybox. The cave diver who went as far as to gain a sense of protection and comfort from the lightless caves, having those caves turned against her. It seems like any kind of strong connection, positive or negative, can be used as an opening for one of these entities to threaten your life.

      @Badficwriter 3 місяці тому +1

      @@johncargille7722 I have a theory that its similar to the 'king sacrifice'. The ideal behind that is to sacrifice what you value, something part of you. A child, especially a firstborn son of a king, was considered the most important to a king, or nation. Other possibilities were an eye, or a hand. More commonplace were prize possessions. Anyway, these brought more power, more significance.
      If we compare these Things to spirits, worship and love and even burnt living sacrifices are OK, but for the truly big power They need to sacrifice Their own. By loving the concepts the Things embody, these people made themselves part of the Things. This would open them to being valuable sacrifices, just like sacrificing your hand.
      Here, the man rejected his connection to the Other? The Lonely? By embracing Its opposite, souring the meal.

      The conspiracy theorist point was really interesting, considering that a lot of conspiracy theorists in real life (the ones I’ve come across, anyway) seem to consider an eye as a sign of evil. That is, they’ll see a symbol of an eye and automatically say it’s connected to some secret society trying to take over the world, like the illuminati or freemasons or something. It actually makes a sort of twisted sense that conspiracy theorists would literally fear the eye, even as they seek the knowledge it gives… it’s their form of worship, though they don’t know it.

  • @evagrev7351
    @evagrev7351 2 роки тому +11

    My theory from this episode and what we know until now:
    This is definitely relared with the episode "alone". In both cases we have a person who prefers being alone, doesn't really have strong ties with friends or other people, and end up getting "lost" in a place all alone. In this episode, the witness ends up "in a crowd, but still all alone" as she said, and losing herself in that. In both cases, the thought of someone they deeply cared about was what helped them get out of that dimension. And as i said in a previous comment, i believe all dimensions are all in the same place (including the real-life dimension) so once you enter one dimension and start walking in it, when you'll leave you'll be at a different place from where you left the real-life dimension, which explains why she was found somewhere else from where she was last before entering that dimension, and how the same hapenned to the woman from "alone" too. But yeah, ethan was exactly like her, all alone, no real ties with anyone else, so when he was also drawn from that loneliness entity he couldn't get out 'cause, unlike our witness, he didn't know what he needed to do to get out. It seems like some entites only draw in them people who already resonate/sync with them, like the vast sky with the skydiver, and the loneliness with this witness and the other one from "alone" (i'm sure there were other examples until now too but those are the ones who came at the top of my head).
    As for not!sasha, the change is obvious to us but for the characters it's not. Probably because the not!entity has the power of changing memories and even documents, just like with not!graham where even all the photos of graham were altered to look like not!graham besides the polaroids, which makes me believe that there is something in old machines that the supernatural entities can't fully manipulate as they can with the digital machines (just like John can't use digital means for those recordings and uses this tape recorder instead).
    That man in the cafe was very likely gerard who could see she was marked, which means that he could see that she was targeted by an entity because she resonated with one of them, so he asked these questions to see with which one. It became pretty obvious pretty fast that the loneliness was the one that synced with her, so he told her to think of the person she has strong ties with, meaning to think of the person that makes her not being alone, thus not being totally synced with the loneliness entity. With all we know for him so far, and what Michael said previously, i believe there is a war between entities or more like the entities are not all in harmony with each other. Some are enemies, some are allies and some are neutral like Michael/spiral entity. Some entities even have cults for them, like the closed eye entity (in the episode with the mass-murderer dad, we learn that the witness's mother was part of a cult with a closed eye as their symbol) and the loneliness entity (in alone we learn that lukas family were very religious family but the son was not which is why he left and had a differemt life from them). Gerard has already killed someone from the fireless fire (or something like that, can't remember if that was its name) (maybe they have a cult too) so we know that the open eye and the fireless fire are not in good terms. The open eye was also called beholding from Gerard (and the nurse from that story started feeling being watched after that incident), which was also used to describe the magnus institute from prentiss, which means that the open eye has some relation with the magnus institute. And because of the letter magnus got before he created the magnus institute, either he created it for the open eye (as in working for it) or because of it (as in after that letter he did some investigation and found out something that lead him to create this institute)

      Personally I think it was some phenomenon where you would get into the crowd and slowly become assimilated. She started seeing those people, started screaming at them and the description said something about their faces being blurry as if someone recorded them screaming and sped-up their movements. Basically, I think it's about the concept of losing your identity inside the crowd and remembering a loved person was supposed to be like an anchor, something to focus on and help you remain yourself, like those totems from Inceptions if you saw the movie.

      Even funnier (Spoiler):
      Elias scolding Jon like "You have been spying on your co-workers, are you not ashamed? What kind of monster would do that?"

    Elias: you need to stop spying on your coworkers
    Jon: I would never
    Elias: Tim says you've been watching his house.
    Jon: what?! No, thats rediculous-
    _*three nights earlier, outside Tim's house_
    Tim: hey, buddy, what'cha doing?
    Jon: watching your house.

    I really hope that Jon being paranoid about everyone, *except* Not!Sasha, is an effect of whatever the entity Not!Sasha is, because if not, I'm really worried about his understanding of humans' behaviour...

    13:15 to 14:00 is exactly what a dissociative episode feels like

    So, we've had a couple of episodes now where The Supernatural preys on a character's loves, not their fears- Lost John's Cave, the skydiving episode, Grifters Bone, etc.
    I love how the character in this story doesn't give up on the thing that brought her joy. At the end of the statement, she's like, yep, still gonna travel! Just maybe with friends. And in the follow-up, she's back to travelling alone. Love it. That's real strength !
    Like, NOPE, sorry creepy shit, you're not gonna take my passions away! Badass! This statement giver is based af.
