Hah, I live in Camden. We have roots in Nova Scotia as well. I'll have to think about that tie. I would also caution that a lot of the towns along the coast of Maine look exactly the same...just "Main St. USA" towns, or like a Norman Rockwell painting. The nearest sizable hospital is probably in Bangor (or one with multiple levels), which is where a lot of Stephen King's stuff is based on. There is also a St. Anthony's hospital in northern Newfoundland.
@@gelasticseizure Did you ever watch the show Once Upon a Time , it was ABC show but based on Disney characters or fairytale. the people were transported to our world in Maine, in town they called "Storybrooke" there is a kid in the town that wants to wake up people to who they really are ...I cant help but think that OUAT might have elements of FROM. Jim was major character on OUAT so it might just be a wink and nod his previous show window imag of the town looks like storybook with town with square with clocktower with white peak . I think that Stephen King was an influence for both shows and sometimes I get Under the Dome vibes , I enjoy stephen King but his books sometimes are not adapted well and he also has way of making horror just exist without giving much reasoning or mythos. Same with people being psychic they just are and then they can understand things others dont see but are often taken as othered like Sara everyone focus on her violence , but not why she was even killing to begin with the voices. I know we cannot just expect Jim famiy to forgive Sara but she should have spoken before acting but knowing this town would they have believed her ? After her actions people still showed her scorn , particullarly Paula and Reggie who supposed just came on Bus. but were okay to judge Sara
BRO this is literally one of the best analysis of the show that I have seen. This is a true mystery series as the writers have done a great job of staying away from Any cliche's whatsoever and also revealing very little info, which just makes this even more intriguing. It is like solving a real world mystery, which actually has an end (we'll get our answers in coming seasons for sure)!! Coming to your analysis - Rescuing your inner child, didn't sound as convincing to me in the first hearing, but my god its a great way to look at it. The greatest writers, always give an ending, not just for the sake of it, but which has a real and relatable meaning for everyone watching so that anyone can connect to it. and this is something I can surely see them doing. Of all the points you mentioned, one of the mind blow was that Tabatha was killed by falling by being pushed by a child, when her trauma related to her child falling and dying. Overall, just great JOB with the theories and compiling them together in such an entertaining way. As someone who loved the series, I Really appreciate it :)
I second that. You did an amazing job. It's a lot of work to produce content but you will build a huge following. What you can do is split this into 10 minute segments for today's short attention span UA-camrs to get more clicks.
I just finished watching season 2 yesterday and bingewatched my way through your videos just now. I am deeply impressed by your deep an thourough analysis of this show. I dare to say, From is the best and most well written horror/mystery show i've ever seen. And I can't wait for season 3
The reason the monsters know the towns people's names is tied to the numbers 4 and 7. Let me explain. When Trudy begins to panic and Jasmine calls her by first name, and when questioned “how do you know my name,” Jasmine declares “we know all your names.” In Fromville, certain names and numbers such as 4 and 7 play a much more significant role than even the most astute observer may notice, especially when you add 4 plus 7 which equals 11 and apply the number 11 to the names of the characters in the show. Individually, the numbers 4 and 7 seem to have significant meaning and they appear quite often when they are combined as the number 47 or conversely the number 74. However, it is my opinion that when added together, the true meaning of the numbers 4 and 7 comes to light as the number 11. The number 11 has a very significant role in numerology and I posit that the writers of From have incorporated the number 11 into every major (and some minor) characters and plot lines in order surreptitiously reveal which characters will eventually die and which will survive. In other words, who lives and who dies is hidden in plain sight and it all depends on the number 11. In season two, Boyd is talking to Donna in the green house and he tells her a story of when he was in Iraq and he watched “Brian Kelly” die in his arms after driving over an IED. Boyd recalled this story after witnessing one of the new arrivals named “Kelly” die in the woods after she tells Boyd she had just been forced to watch her boyfriend named “Brian” be ripped apart by the monsters. The synchronicity between the two events separated by years could not be by chance. At this point, I realized there might be a connection between the characters’ names and other symbols on the show and I discovered the connection was the number 11. The monsters know everyone’s full name and as I will demonstrate, ALL of the major and minor characters who have 11 letters in their name have died or will die. Below is a list of every major and minor character with 11 letters in their name. In total, there are 12 characters with exactly 11 letters in their names and this cannot possibly be serendipitous. How many shows with an ensemble cast have 12 characters with the exact number of letters in their names? Not only have the writers deliberately left off certain characters’ last names (eg Victor, Randall, Marielle, Trudy), I believe the writers intentionally gave other characters first and last names that total 11 letters as a “Scarlet Letter.” All of the characters below have 11 letters in their names and those in red caps are dead. It is my belief that the remaining characters on the list will be targeted and will eventually die in future episodes and seasons: Donna Raines is 11 letters = 4 plus 7 Boyd Stevens is 11 letters = 4 plus 7 ABBY STEVENS IS 11 LETTERS = 4 PLUS 7 RUDRA KHATRI IS 11 LETTERS = 4 PLUS 7 Jim Matthews is 11 letters = 4 plus 7 Jade Herrera is 11 letters = 4 plus 7 Tian-Chen Liu is 11 letters = 4 plus 7 MEAGAN PRATT IS 11 LETTERS = 4 PLUS 7 (LITTLE GIRL THAT DIED) LAUREN PRATT IS 11 LETTERS = 4 PLUS 7 (MOTHER OF LITTLE GIRL THAT DIED) TOBEY MCCRAY IS 11 LETTERS = 4 PLUS 7 NATHAN MYERS IS 11 LETTERS = 4 PLUS 7 BING-QIAN LIU IS 11 LETTERS = 4 PLUS 7 As one can see, 12 characters on the show have 11 letters in their name and 7 of those 12 are already dead. I think the only conclusion that one can come to is that the number of letters in your name directly relate to whether your death is imminent. As foreshadowing, the writers have deliberately provided the first and last names of certain characters in order to discreetly reveal who will be targeted and eventually die. In numerology the number eleven is known as “the master number” or “psychic master.” Accordingly, people with the number 11 are particularly attuned to the spiritual realm and those with the number in their name are advancing on their spiritual journey and may soon reach their spiritual enlightenment. I believe the writers are aware of numerology and the significance of the number 11 and they have secretly encoded the characters’ name utilizing this number as an indicator of who will die. Perhaps they die because they have completed the spiritual journey that is Fromville. It is true you see the number 11 in Tabitha's hospital room, but you see the number in many aspects of the show. For example, other references which also have 11 letters in their name such as “Cromenockle,” “Lake of Tears,” “Christopher,” “Colony House” etc. Likewise, the number of permanent structures remaining in the town now stands at 11. Tabitha's hospital room number is 2225 = 11. The cards on the lighthouse tower in Tabitha’s dream are 4 and 7 = 11. The lighthouse light appears to have 11 rings around the center circle (the pocket universe). Moreover, many of the songs on the show have 11 letters in their title. I agree with much of your analysis, but I believe the key to Fromville is hidden by the writers and it is tied to the numbers 4 or 7. I believe the number 11 is the way to decode From. Great video. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your thoughts.
Ironically, when Jim jokes with Tabitha about that he found the answer on the writing wall and says “the answer is 12”, maybe he was not far from truth 😁
Your esoteric knowledge is off the charts. I always feel like my knowledge gives me different perspectives that most especially from TV shows or movies like this. But I have learned so much from these videos and realize how much I don't know.
Man, what do you do in your real live!? This is so thorough and interesting. Even if you were not right in your interpretations of the show, the information provided is so much worth watching this channel. I, for instance, found out here, that I personally show signs of avoidance-dismissive attachment style in a very difficult times... Thank you so much!
Amazing analysis of the show and very well laid out. :) Thank you for creating this. One idea I had is that the entire forest is just a single tree like organism that are found in national parks in the U.S., where its a “forest” but in actuality is one massive living organism.
So sorry I'm late, but this is the most amazing video! I was astonished within the first 4 mins! Well done! So glad I found you last month! I can tell you right now, I will never miss a video!
All your video blow me away. The way your put your words together is just a gift you have to be a Writer. When I seen it was almost a hour long I got excited😂 I learn something new on every 1 of your video. It's almost like teaching Psychology and Philosophy thru film.
The story of Victor-mom seems to repeat as Ethan-mom But there might be a hope that Victor's sister is alive Now the answer is once victor found mother's corpse near the tree. Meant the tree teleported her back and fell down into nothing or trapped and died.. Why did the tree reject Victor's Mom? If they find Tabitha's corpse same place means that people who dies will get released out the town hence abby "was right"
It's so weird watching other people watch this show. They'll see the monsters and scream "But what ARE they?" repeatedly, followed by "I'm not watching this show if they don't tell me what they are by the next episode." People in today's story climate will NOT wait for answers. They cannot enjoy a mystery, puzzles, or character development. I love this show, but I guarantee you it gets cancelled after Season 3 because people nowadays just have no patience with stories. It's either Marvel, Emily in Paris, or bust.
I love the show because of the lack of answers. I mean I hope they show us at some point. The worst is when they cancel the show and never let you know. But I enjoy the ongoing mystery. That's what I loved about Lost. Not knowing the whole button situation was one of the best parts of the show for me.
Wow Thanks so much for this information! Love the Psychological aspect of this project ❤❤❤captured by these awesome artists that made me love Psychedelic movies again!!
The only way I can see the show continuing from that cliffhanger is if the hospital is neither the real world nor another part of Fromville. If it was the real world, Season 3 would have to be the final season, and it would be focused on Tabitha finding her way back and saving everyone. If it was just another part of Fromville, then it kinda invalidates the small town concept of the show. Instead, the hospital is probably a pseudo-mental environment for Tabitha like the dungeon was for Boyd, and she was sent there by the Boy in White on a mission to save the other children. Remember, the voices of the children called her up to the top of the tower, and then the Boy in White transported her to the hospital. For Boyd, the dungeon wasn't just some other time period that he was transported to; Martin knew both him and Abby, and the whole worms in his arm thing was linked to his Parkinson's Disease. The hospital is likely the same for Tabitha, who, as a mother of three, has probably spent a lot of time in hospitals. Saint Anthony is the patron saint of lost things, yes, but he is usually depicted holding a child. Tabitha's journey through the hospital may see her saving the lost children, or perhaps learning more about the Boy in White, before being transported back like Boyd was.
Thank you! You are the only other person I know that's says the tree roots looked like spider legs. Ethans dream too. Also Tabitha had a nightmare the 2nd night at colony house, where she visions the bride and later in the tunnels finds the wedding dress which helps here to know that what she's going through is real. Also when she sees Jim hanging upsidedown can represent the hanfmsn in the tarot. In by accepting ideas etc that are nrew.. Here is a quote from an article on the hangman that I think applies to Tabithas journey. This means he must let go of everything he previously knew and trust that the process he is undertaking will carry him forward. He must find new perspectives and leave the material world to seek spiritual enlightenment. At this stage of the journey, the hero must align himself with the laws of the universe, not the laws of man. She's slowly realized that she needs to think in a new way so she can understand what's going on and take a chance on what she sees.
It's strange how tabithas reflection in the hospital window looks nothing like her as her facial features are different and the reflection has blond hair.
20:21 a newer psychological theory could also be Bruce Hoods theory of supersense. In search of explanation in chaos humans generate their own patterns of causality in an attempt to understand, coop and structure their reality. Generating Patterns of causality allows for the mind to view reality as somewhat more predictable and thus less random or terrifying. Its like Skinners paper on Pigeons exhibiting superstitious behaviour when fed at random intervals. The pigeons start to exhibit certain behavior or rituals that they believe is associated with triggering food. Animals and humans are pattern seekers and try to map out the causlity of their existence because it is in many cases adaptive or pragmatic to do so but can also be misguided since your mind can draw wrong conclusions of causality. An example would be something like classic superstition of walking under a ladder will cause something bad to happen or can be backwards rationalized as the cause of something bad.
Really like this take, and it also makes me think of the movie "A Serious Man." We're pattern-seeking machines but the truth of it all is that a lot of things are just random, and undeterminable (even if they're determined to begin with). Why i stepped back the other day when thinking about this show again and considering whether i've been looking at it the wrong way. Some people can accept the uncertainty of life and survive simply, and others lose their marbles trying to causally connect every weird little thing in a tidy, meaningful way. One thing that's meaningful at the individual/subjective level is that all these creative causal mappings we draw sometimes help us resolve conflict (like an algorithm proofing itself) and sometimes, ironically, the ultimate realization is "shit just random lol, c'est la vie"
@@FromLand A serious man is great because apart from just the pattern seeking, it illustrates pretty perfectly the basic human condition of being in search of meaning in an absurd reality. Another basic human condition is our relation to the unknown and the anxiety that comes with it. I think a good point to this would be Bruce Hood's own stance towards things like superstition or religion; these things aren't necessarily bad, since they serve as an adaptive way to coop and bring with them a sense of security, control and causal understanding. Psychologically it's just important to be aware that we have this supersense and where these concepts may come from. That doesn't mean they can't be individually or existentially meaningful. Viktor Frankl definitely described many critical scenarios in his life, that can be reduced to supersense pattern seeking. Like the bird landing in front of him while he was in the concentration camp at the exact moment he was thinking about his wife. To him that was personally deeply meaningful and a clear sign that allowed him to have hope in an otherwise hopeless situation. But to others it becomes like the young Rabbi parking lot scene from A Serious Man lol. Kierkegaard's view on the self as being split into anxiety forces of sympathic and antipathic or Marslow's security VS. Growth, might also help explain the differential subjectivness. But remember the creators of From said they have already written the ending of the show and everything in the show is done on purpose. Psychologically analysing the show like you do is insanely interesting because it can illustrate where the creators ideas are coming from (even if they weren't consciously aware of all of them) and thus might give us some clues to where the story is going or why the story is unfolding like it is. In my opinion it really adds more value to it, since it gives me more ways to view and understand the show so I really appreciate the work you put into this.
I just realized that in Season 1 when Jade went into the "cellar" and saw the guy pinned by or infused into the giant boulder who scared him, he fell on his back in a similar position to how the children were laying on their backs in the circle looking up at the symbol on the ceiling. A foreboding of what was to come in season 2 with the children? As this was the first time he saw the symbol.
That’s a really good observation! Makes one also think of the hole in the basement that ended up bringing the house down. Maybe some connection to the idea of “as above so below” or all levels being interconnected.
Okay I’m sharing my wild theory all over UA-cam and your channel is my last stop😂. The “Angkhooey” the children keep chanting “looks and sounds” quite similar to St. “Anthony” , the hospital Tabitha woke up in. I think the scene of Jade surrounded by the 7 children looking up to see that symbol might mirror the reality of the children strapped up in a lab of some sort and looking up at the hospital logo. Someone solidified my theory by explaining that “Angkhooey” is what “Anthony” would sound like if you had feeding tubes in your mouth and your tongue can’t touch the roof of your mouth. Try saying Anthony with your tongue pressed down in your mouth. The kids also being in white with the patchy hair definitely gives lab/hospital vibes. Also Anyone else notice the patient room number? 2225 (2+2 2+5)= 47. I might be reaching but I think it’s something considering how important the number 47 is/was.
@@JoseRamirez-vb1sk in episode 9 when they were in the RV in the woods. The music starts playing from the radio in the RV. It’s on the station 47. Tilly also mentions that she has 4 children and 7 grandchildren. 47.
Key things I can't let go. Who's puzzle is that because it's in storage. What's the deal with religion? The use of yellow and blue (aqua=water)? The importance of a boat and its relation to Boyd. Is Sara a psychic? We need to know her and Nathan's backstory. The water in the tunnel? Does Victor know Martin. What happened to Christopher? And what happened to the 25th bus passenger (the missing piece)?
Great video. Just rewatched both series of FROM. Remember watching this video after first watching the series and loving it. I'm wondering if maybe the bottles being hung on the tree may be the dates that someone leaves the town and is left for recognition of using the far away tree for those who later use it to go to the Lighthouse to free themselves...
A wonderful analysis....just finished season 2...and your videos was exactly what I needed to fill the gap....thank you....btw I think the symbol is spider legs too
I don't trust anything the evil entity says. I think what Boyd did was needed and the entity is trying to make him doubt himself just like making him doubt about destroying the music box and making hope the problem. I understand the Pandora reference and hope as one of the evils, the duality of hope but it's a manipulation also to break someone
Great breakdown! I know this show has a cult following. It is now one of my favorite shows. I just wish it was on Netflix or Prime and not a service nobody knows about. It would be SOO much more popular.
I think the most compelling parallel would be Father Khatri's reference to a 47th book of the Bible, hinting at a possible apocalypse or post-apocalyptic scenario.
Wow, we have a legit timetable. Prior to this video that you realize/prove time is the same in FromLand. I broke down in detail "about" how much time has passed in From. •Until the day Marielle & the bus arrive, I previously wrote about 1 month passes entering S2. -Kristi missing since, 08/06/21 -Matthew's arrive 2/20/22 -Marielle arrives 6 months later -If someone says, "It's been 6 months," at most it can be 6 months + 3 weeks before someone would say 7 months, which would take us to 02/27/22 •Based off what I broke down it's crazy that only one week has passed even if most episodes ½ a day to 1 day passes. Primarily due to some events such as: a the end when Tabitha & Jim were digging the hole, multiple days were represented. Plus, building the radio tower represented AT LEAST 2 days. Also, after the Colony house massacre, everyone moving out, burying bodies, & and funerals, which happened off episodes, idk seems more than 1 week.
I also find the shows very allegorical and full of personifications, many representations of the psychological side the world; like the main characters are almost all personification of some archetype or concepts, even how the curse works; including the town itself.
Some may have posted this but did anyone notice the PC in the hospital is running Windows 95. A OS where Microsoft stoped supporting in 2001. A hospital would not use a software they dont get saftey updates on. I know hospitals use old software but 95 is a long time ago. Can she be in the samed time periode as Victors mother tried to go to the lighthouse. Did she die or is just her body behind but she is alive?
It may be some custom system. I’ve seen healthcare settings using these proprietary ehr systems that look very old school. In the trailer for season 3 there’s what looks like one of those smart security cameras on the side of the house, which leads me to think she might be in the present, but we’ll find out :D
I also think she's in the present but I think we're gonna find out that say they've been missing for like a week in the real world but in fromville its actually like a year has passed or vice versa idk something about there being significant differences in how long has passed and what it felt like to them had passed in fromville🤷🤯💯
OMG! I just read about Jack Bender in the link that you posted, and he’s also working on a series based on Stephen King’s novel, The Institute. I LOVE that book, and I HIGHLY recommend it!! I’m so excited!!
I've recently just discovered this series and binged 2 seasons in 3 days. I've come to the conclusion that they're trapped in some part of hell maybe. That's why there's no bibles in the town at all which they made a point about. Also the drawing of the red monster in the underground could represent the devil whilst the boy in white represents innocence and only shows himself to Victor and Ethan. Also the visions the people are having are related to their past lives and maybe the reason they're in hell. The children were calling Tabitha Aunt Cooey and her reflection was different at the end of the season. I think they could somehow be reincarnated as different people and keep coming back to the town. Jade was having visions of the civil war soldier and seems to be getting obsessed with the symbol the same as the other guy did and Tabitha and Victors mum seem to reflect each other
That’s a really interesting possibility. The fact that the glass around the actual fire appears to be partly broken may also suggest that someone may have tried to put it out in the past.
in terms of understanding what's going on, we areexactly the same with the in-show characters lol like, other shows tend to have leaks or very revealing hints if you can see them. But in this show, we are both so lost lol like the amount of info we have are the same; just some middle parts of jigsaw puzzle
One thing frustrates me that why the hell Sara does not give further details to Boyd about "it" and "they" at least to help him finding the music box and the miscommunication between them kenny as well
It seems that the writers have given us many threads which can support a number of theories at the same time, until its ultimately revealed. I definitely agree that there are many influences from great horror writers/movies. Definitely many illusions to nightmare on elm street, stranger things and steven king. Which Stranger things is heavily influenced from his work. So, as i was watching the last two seasons i noticed a number of analogous concepts and set ups especially from the short story, The Boogeyman, if it bleeds. The outsider (sk book) and the dark tower. Another youtuber released a very interesting video (E-man's movie reviews) on his support of who is the big bad of this town. I will speak about the dark tower elements. First, the lighthouse does seem to parralel the tower, as its a nexus between many worlds. Boyd is a sheriff, or a gunslinger, like Roland Deschain. There is an obsession with reaching the lighthouse, much like the dark tower. There are allusions to a good and bad entity, like the crimson king and Gan, the creator of the tower. Also, in his book, insomnia, it is revealed as the overall forces which control the world are the random (chaos) and order. Both sides have agents who are in constant struggle. So, if the boy in white is one entity and there is another entity struggling against it, there is that similarity. Also, the way in which tabitha was sent to another world is similar to rolands fate. Lastly, there is analogies to the breakers held in prison to the 7 children who dome have theorised hold up this town.
Interesting take but I'm still leaning towards a dream or virtual reality they're trapped in. Tabitha dies in the dream world and wakes up in the real world.
@jonfreeman9682 I like that too. The question, who's dream is it? I think if it went that route, finding out who the dreamer is would be very interesting. Sorta reminds me of Bloodborne where the story takes place in the hunters dream to birth an old God.
@@JoseRamirez-vb1sk This story can go in so many directions. It can be aliens snatching humans put them in some weird zoo with monsters to study them like ants in a sandbox like in that movie Dark City. Or this could be another dimension they're trapped in and the lighthouse is a portal to get back home. All those ghosts of past victims, the scary looking kids, the boy in white could be spirits of past victims trying to help guide the people still left. Or this could be a dream like virtual reality machine they're hooked up in and can't get out. All the people here could be in the hospital hooked up to a dream machine to help them rehabilitate from severe injury and are in a coma but something's gone wrong and this dream world has turned into a nightmare world. This is like the movie ghost of war, Matrix and Netflix show 1899. The boy in white and the scary children could be virtual reality avatars like help angels to provide tech support in this dream world. So this show can go any of those 3 directions. I'm leaning towards the virtual reality dream world gone wrong just because so many movies and shows choose this story direction. The other two aliens snatching humans for experiment or other worldly dimensions and portals aren't really used that much. Only one that comes to mind is dark city. There's alot of possibilities including maybe even time travel. But the waking up from a dream in a comma is the easy cop out writers use without having to explain everything. LoL
Also think about H.P. Lovecraftian , monster on cave walls has tentacles, Cthulhu, Elder/Ancient Gods ie Cthulhu he's said to be slumbering deep in the sea idk feels like kinda Cabin in the Woods vibes you know in the end of that movie it was all sacrifices to keep the Great Ancient Old Gods from coming back and annihilating everything and everyone maybe some kinda Cosmic game between the elder gods the townspeople are their chess/monopoly board pieces definitely a good possibility 💯🤯🤷
Answer me this.. was this town built in the 70s. In Victor’s flashback the town is newer. Even the sign in the missing hotel looks new. And in the instructions you see how the town looked. And btw where is the hotel?
Yeah, the town does seem a lot newer when Victor was a child (and it should), but also more specifically it looked very well kept. Maybe the town as we know it was put together around that time. The missing hotel further adds to the “scrapbook” idea of the town. The elements of the town seem pretty random. Really curious to find out what is the mechanism behind the town.
Sara is doing something bad as a therapist to help the others overcome trauma (virtual group therapy?) in order to wake up? Therapists are sometimes looked at as monsters in order to face and overcone our demons.
What if Tilly been in there life at one point she’s seems old enough also what if the adults who all looked the same age grew up in a special program and Tilly was the head nurse like stranger thing

A big shoutout to @NocturnalCritic
Hah, I live in Camden. We have roots in Nova Scotia as well. I'll have to think about that tie. I would also caution that a lot of the towns along the coast of Maine look exactly the same...just "Main St. USA" towns, or like a Norman Rockwell painting. The nearest sizable hospital is probably in Bangor (or one with multiple levels), which is where a lot of Stephen King's stuff is based on. There is also a St. Anthony's hospital in northern Newfoundland.
@@gelasticseizure Did you ever watch the show Once Upon a Time , it was ABC show but based on Disney characters or fairytale. the people were transported to our world in Maine, in town they called "Storybrooke" there is a kid in the town that wants to wake up people to who they really are ...I cant help but think that OUAT might have elements of FROM. Jim was major character on OUAT so it might just be a wink and nod his previous show window imag of the town looks like storybook with town with square with clocktower with white peak . I think that Stephen King was an influence for both shows and sometimes I get Under the Dome vibes , I enjoy stephen King but his books sometimes are not adapted well and he also has way of making horror just exist without giving much reasoning or mythos. Same with people being psychic they just are and then they can understand things others dont see but are often taken as othered like Sara everyone focus on her violence , but not why she was even killing to begin with the voices. I know we cannot just expect Jim famiy to forgive Sara but she should have spoken before acting but knowing this town would they have believed her ? After her actions people still showed her scorn , particullarly Paula and Reggie who supposed just came on Bus. but were okay to judge Sara
BRO this is literally one of the best analysis of the show that I have seen. This is a true mystery series as the writers have done a great job of staying away from Any cliche's whatsoever and also revealing very little info, which just makes this even more intriguing. It is like solving a real world mystery, which actually has an end (we'll get our answers in coming seasons for sure)!!
Coming to your analysis - Rescuing your inner child, didn't sound as convincing to me in the first hearing, but my god its a great way to look at it. The greatest writers, always give an ending, not just for the sake of it, but which has a real and relatable meaning for everyone watching so that anyone can connect to it. and this is something I can surely see them doing.
Of all the points you mentioned, one of the mind blow was that Tabatha was killed by falling by being pushed by a child, when her trauma related to her child falling and dying.
Overall, just great JOB with the theories and compiling them together in such an entertaining way.
As someone who loved the series, I Really appreciate it :)
@@UmeshPatil-mm6ko Thanks!! :)
Stellar content, this! Intensely hoping that we get to enjoy your analyses of season 3?!
This is an insane amount of effort for a sub 10k channel. Very impressive and you deserve all the success that im sure is to come!
Thanks a lot! 🙏
I second that. You did an amazing job. It's a lot of work to produce content but you will build a huge following. What you can do is split this into 10 minute segments for today's short attention span UA-camrs to get more clicks.
I wish I could subscribe 10K times
I just finished watching season 2 yesterday and bingewatched my way through your videos just now.
I am deeply impressed by your deep an thourough analysis of this show.
I dare to say, From is the best and most well written horror/mystery show i've ever seen. And I can't wait for season 3
The reason the monsters know the towns people's names is tied to the numbers 4 and 7. Let me explain. When Trudy begins to panic and Jasmine calls her by first name, and when questioned “how do you know my name,” Jasmine declares “we know all your names.” In Fromville, certain names and numbers such as 4 and 7 play a much more significant role than even the most astute observer may notice, especially when you add 4 plus 7 which equals 11 and apply the number 11 to the names of the characters in the show. Individually, the numbers 4 and 7 seem to have significant meaning and they appear quite often when they are combined as the number 47 or conversely the number 74. However, it is my opinion that when added together, the true meaning of the numbers 4 and 7 comes to light as the number 11. The number 11 has a very significant role in numerology and I posit that the writers of From have incorporated the number 11 into every major (and some minor) characters and plot lines in order surreptitiously reveal which characters will eventually die and which will survive. In other words, who lives and who dies is hidden in plain sight and it all depends on the number 11.
In season two, Boyd is talking to Donna in the green house and he tells her a story of when he was in Iraq and he watched “Brian Kelly” die in his arms after driving over an IED. Boyd recalled this story after witnessing one of the new arrivals named “Kelly” die in the woods after she tells Boyd she had just been forced to watch her boyfriend named “Brian” be ripped apart by the monsters. The synchronicity between the two events separated by years could not be by chance. At this point, I realized there might be a connection between the characters’ names and other symbols on the show and I discovered the connection was the number 11. The monsters know everyone’s full name and as I will demonstrate, ALL of the major and minor characters who have 11 letters in their name have died or will die.
Below is a list of every major and minor character with 11 letters in their name. In total, there are 12 characters with exactly 11 letters in their names and this cannot possibly be serendipitous. How many shows with an ensemble cast have 12 characters with the exact number of letters in their names? Not only have the writers deliberately left off certain characters’ last names (eg Victor, Randall, Marielle, Trudy), I believe the writers intentionally gave other characters first and last names that total 11 letters as a “Scarlet Letter.” All of the characters below have 11 letters in their names and those in red caps are dead. It is my belief that the remaining characters on the list will be targeted and will eventually die in future episodes and seasons:
Donna Raines is 11 letters = 4 plus 7
Boyd Stevens is 11 letters = 4 plus 7
ABBY STEVENS IS 11 LETTERS = 4 PLUS 7
RUDRA KHATRI IS 11 LETTERS = 4 PLUS 7
Jim Matthews is 11 letters = 4 plus 7
Jade Herrera is 11 letters = 4 plus 7
Tian-Chen Liu is 11 letters = 4 plus 7
MEAGAN PRATT IS 11 LETTERS = 4 PLUS 7 (LITTLE GIRL THAT DIED)
LAUREN PRATT IS 11 LETTERS = 4 PLUS 7 (MOTHER OF LITTLE GIRL THAT DIED)
TOBEY MCCRAY IS 11 LETTERS = 4 PLUS 7
NATHAN MYERS IS 11 LETTERS = 4 PLUS 7
BING-QIAN LIU IS 11 LETTERS = 4 PLUS 7
As one can see, 12 characters on the show have 11 letters in their name and 7 of those 12 are already dead. I think the only conclusion that one can come to is that the number of letters in your name directly relate to whether your death is imminent. As foreshadowing, the writers have deliberately provided the first and last names of certain characters in order to discreetly reveal who will be targeted and eventually die.
In numerology the number eleven is known as “the master number” or “psychic master.” Accordingly, people with the number 11 are particularly attuned to the spiritual realm and those with the number in their name are advancing on their spiritual journey and may soon reach their spiritual enlightenment. I believe the writers are aware of numerology and the significance of the number 11 and they have secretly encoded the characters’ name utilizing this number as an indicator of who will die. Perhaps they die because they have completed the spiritual journey that is Fromville. It is true you see the number 11 in Tabitha's hospital room, but you see the number in many aspects of the show. For example, other references which also have 11 letters in their name such as “Cromenockle,” “Lake of Tears,” “Christopher,” “Colony House” etc. Likewise, the number of permanent structures remaining in the town now stands at 11. Tabitha's hospital room number is 2225 = 11. The cards on the lighthouse tower in Tabitha’s dream are 4 and 7 = 11. The lighthouse light appears to have 11 rings around the center circle (the pocket universe). Moreover, many of the songs on the show have 11 letters in their title. I agree with much of your analysis, but I believe the key to Fromville is hidden by the writers and it is tied to the numbers 4 or 7. I believe the number 11 is the way to decode From. Great video. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your thoughts.
Interesting. So who are the ones next to die?
Holy shit. I bet you're right.
Ironically, when Jim jokes with Tabitha about that he found the answer on the writing wall and says “the answer is 12”, maybe he was not far from truth 😁
I am going to have to go back and watch that scene. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. @@mattgerasimov4641
Damn, just realised I got 11 letters in my name too...
Oh man 1 hour of excellence!
Your esoteric knowledge is off the charts. I always feel like my knowledge gives me different perspectives that most especially from TV shows or movies like this. But I have learned so much from these videos and realize how much I don't know.
Great work as always sir, and a fun collab!
Thank you, sir! 🙏Had a lot of fun with this collab!
Love the collaboration!!!! You both rock!!!
I've been waiting for this, thanks for uploading!
I have been waiting and now it’s here. Thank you.
thank you for uploading, been waiting this. love all your analysis of this show.
Agreed. Great analysis
Man, what do you do in your real live!? This is so thorough and interesting. Even if you were not right in your interpretations of the show, the information provided is so much worth watching this channel. I, for instance, found out here, that I personally show signs of avoidance-dismissive attachment style in a very difficult times... Thank you so much!
I am guessing he is a polymath or a geek with a lot of free time... which is basically the same thing.
Thank you for bestowing us with your incredibly hard work and amazing attention to detail. It doesn't go unnoticed 🎉🔔🌲🍑🔔🍑🌲🔔🎉
YASSSSS TO SEASON 3!!
This!!! is how you explain, breakdown, and give an analysis. Not just repeat what we all saw. Lol Subsrcibed.
Exactly!
You really are good at this! ❤
Fantastic video!
Great content here, sir.
I know this took a lot of work... you now have a dedicated subscriber 👍🏾

Amazing analysis of the show and very well laid out. :) Thank you for creating this. One idea I had is that the entire forest is just a single tree like organism that are found in national parks in the U.S., where its a “forest” but in actuality is one massive living organism.
Like the Tree of Life?
Incredible analysis! Loved it! I cannot wait for part 2!!
the ending explained i've been waiting for!
So sorry I'm late, but this is the most amazing video! I was astonished within the first 4 mins! Well done! So glad I found you last month! I can tell you right now, I will never miss a video!
What a video... just brilliant!
Wtf, this was spectacularly down! Nice work.
This was an amazing synopsis. I appreciate your effort 💪🙌💥😃
All your video blow me away. The way your put your words together is just a gift you have to be a Writer. When I seen it was almost a hour long I got excited😂 I learn something new on every 1 of your video. It's almost like teaching Psychology and Philosophy thru film.
Really interesting and well put together video.
Excellent observations. One of the best shows out there right now
Love these videos
Thank ypu for this deep analysis
Great video!!!! Could have been 45 minutes but still enjoyed!
I absolutely love this and love the attachment styles being brought into it. Very insightful. I’ve spent a lot of time studying attachment styles 🤗
I love the airline concept 😍
Best video on the series I've seen. Can't wait to watch more
I think they are going through different levels and Tabitha found her way out onto the next level
I’m leaning towards that idea as well.
The story of Victor-mom seems to repeat as Ethan-mom
But there might be a hope that Victor's sister is alive
Now the answer is once victor found mother's corpse near the tree. Meant the tree teleported her back and fell down into nothing or trapped and died..
Why did the tree reject Victor's Mom?
If they find Tabitha's corpse same place means that people who dies will get released out the town hence abby "was right"
It's so weird watching other people watch this show. They'll see the monsters and scream "But what ARE they?" repeatedly, followed by "I'm not watching this show if they don't tell me what they are by the next episode." People in today's story climate will NOT wait for answers. They cannot enjoy a mystery, puzzles, or character development. I love this show, but I guarantee you it gets cancelled after Season 3 because people nowadays just have no patience with stories. It's either Marvel, Emily in Paris, or bust.
I share your feeling there.
I love the show because of the lack of answers. I mean I hope they show us at some point. The worst is when they cancel the show and never let you know. But I enjoy the ongoing mystery. That's what I loved about Lost. Not knowing the whole button situation was one of the best parts of the show for me.
Wow Thanks so much for this information! Love the Psychological aspect of this project ❤❤❤captured by these awesome artists that made me love Psychedelic movies again!!
The only way I can see the show continuing from that cliffhanger is if the hospital is neither the real world nor another part of Fromville. If it was the real world, Season 3 would have to be the final season, and it would be focused on Tabitha finding her way back and saving everyone. If it was just another part of Fromville, then it kinda invalidates the small town concept of the show.
Instead, the hospital is probably a pseudo-mental environment for Tabitha like the dungeon was for Boyd, and she was sent there by the Boy in White on a mission to save the other children. Remember, the voices of the children called her up to the top of the tower, and then the Boy in White transported her to the hospital.
For Boyd, the dungeon wasn't just some other time period that he was transported to; Martin knew both him and Abby, and the whole worms in his arm thing was linked to his Parkinson's Disease. The hospital is likely the same for Tabitha, who, as a mother of three, has probably spent a lot of time in hospitals. Saint Anthony is the patron saint of lost things, yes, but he is usually depicted holding a child. Tabitha's journey through the hospital may see her saving the lost children, or perhaps learning more about the Boy in White, before being transported back like Boyd was.
I love this theory, I was thinking the same thing.
New subscriber!
An amazing and in depth video! Thank you
Excellent analysis 👍🏽👍🏽
Good news is that From season 3 has been Green lit for next year!!! Oh I so can't wait!
We all know it’s going to be a long ass year 😢
Omg thank you so so much it was amazing
Anyone notice Tabby's reflection on the window looks like a young blonde girl?!
Excellent work!
Ducking brilliant, my guy!
Thank you! You are the only other person I know that's says the tree roots looked like spider legs.
Ethans dream too. Also Tabitha had a nightmare the 2nd night at colony house, where she visions the bride and later in the tunnels finds the wedding dress which helps here to know that what she's going through is real. Also when she sees Jim hanging upsidedown can represent the hanfmsn in the tarot. In by accepting ideas etc that are nrew..
Here is a quote from an article on the hangman that I think applies to Tabithas journey.
This means he must let go of everything he previously knew and trust that the process he is undertaking will carry him forward. He must find new perspectives and leave the material world to seek spiritual enlightenment. At this stage of the journey, the hero must align himself with the laws of the universe, not the laws of man.
She's slowly realized that she needs to think in a new way so she can understand what's going on and take a chance on what she sees.
It's strange how tabithas reflection in the hospital window looks nothing like her as her facial features are different and the reflection has blond hair.
Nice vid Andres
20:21 a newer psychological theory could also be Bruce Hoods theory of supersense. In search of explanation in chaos humans generate their own patterns of causality in an attempt to understand, coop and structure their reality. Generating Patterns of causality allows for the mind to view reality as somewhat more predictable and thus less random or terrifying. Its like Skinners paper on Pigeons exhibiting superstitious behaviour when fed at random intervals. The pigeons start to exhibit certain behavior or rituals that they believe is associated with triggering food. Animals and humans are pattern seekers and try to map out the causlity of their existence because it is in many cases adaptive or pragmatic to do so but can also be misguided since your mind can draw wrong conclusions of causality. An example would be something like classic superstition of walking under a ladder will cause something bad to happen or can be backwards rationalized as the cause of something bad.
Really like this take, and it also makes me think of the movie "A Serious Man." We're pattern-seeking machines but the truth of it all is that a lot of things are just random, and undeterminable (even if they're determined to begin with). Why i stepped back the other day when thinking about this show again and considering whether i've been looking at it the wrong way. Some people can accept the uncertainty of life and survive simply, and others lose their marbles trying to causally connect every weird little thing in a tidy, meaningful way. One thing that's meaningful at the individual/subjective level is that all these creative causal mappings we draw sometimes help us resolve conflict (like an algorithm proofing itself) and sometimes, ironically, the ultimate realization is "shit just random lol, c'est la vie"
@@FromLand A serious man is great because apart from just the pattern seeking, it illustrates pretty perfectly the basic human condition of being in search of meaning in an absurd reality. Another basic human condition is our relation to the unknown and the anxiety that comes with it. I think a good point to this would be Bruce Hood's own stance towards things like superstition or religion; these things aren't necessarily bad, since they serve as an adaptive way to coop and bring with them a sense of security, control and causal understanding. Psychologically it's just important to be aware that we have this supersense and where these concepts may come from. That doesn't mean they can't be individually or existentially meaningful. Viktor Frankl definitely described many critical scenarios in his life, that can be reduced to supersense pattern seeking. Like the bird landing in front of him while he was in the concentration camp at the exact moment he was thinking about his wife. To him that was personally deeply meaningful and a clear sign that allowed him to have hope in an otherwise hopeless situation. But to others it becomes like the young Rabbi parking lot scene from A Serious Man lol. Kierkegaard's view on the self as being split into anxiety forces of sympathic and antipathic or Marslow's security VS. Growth, might also help explain the differential subjectivness.
But remember the creators of From said they have already written the ending of the show and everything in the show is done on purpose. Psychologically analysing the show like you do is insanely interesting because it can illustrate where the creators ideas are coming from (even if they weren't consciously aware of all of them) and thus might give us some clues to where the story is going or why the story is unfolding like it is. In my opinion it really adds more value to it, since it gives me more ways to view and understand the show so I really appreciate the work you put into this.
Excellent!!
Is this a compilation of your season 2 analysis videos or an addition to them? Loving all of ur deep dives!!
Thank you! This is in addition to the other videos :).
Man I feel like I just had a session with my therapist when you were talking about Jade because I am Jade 😂
I just realized that in Season 1 when Jade went into the "cellar" and saw the guy pinned by or infused into the giant boulder who scared him, he fell on his back in a similar position to how the children were laying on their backs in the circle looking up at the symbol on the ceiling. A foreboding of what was to come in season 2 with the children? As this was the first time he saw the symbol.
That’s a really good observation! Makes one also think of the hole in the basement that ended up bringing the house down. Maybe some connection to the idea of “as above so below” or all levels being interconnected.
@@FromLand I like how you think
Okay I’m sharing my wild theory all over UA-cam and your channel is my last stop😂.
The “Angkhooey” the children keep chanting “looks and sounds” quite similar to St. “Anthony” , the hospital Tabitha woke up in.
I think the scene of Jade surrounded by the 7 children looking up to see that symbol might mirror the reality of the children strapped up in a lab of some sort and looking up at the hospital logo.
Someone solidified my theory by explaining that “Angkhooey” is what “Anthony” would sound like if you had feeding tubes in your mouth and your tongue can’t touch the roof of your mouth.
Try saying Anthony with your tongue pressed down in your mouth.
The kids also being in white with the patchy hair definitely gives lab/hospital vibes.
Also Anyone else notice the patient room number? 2225 (2+2 2+5)= 47.
I might be reaching but I think it’s something considering how important the number 47 is/was.
What's the significance of 47?
@@JoseRamirez-vb1sk in episode 9 when they were in the RV in the woods. The music starts playing from the radio in the RV. It’s on the station 47. Tilly also mentions that she has 4 children and 7 grandchildren. 47.

Yes. There’s definitely the theme of family trees in the show and the idea of the “sins of the father” or intergenerational chains/heredity.
Damn bro this is a great video
Key things I can't let go. Who's puzzle is that because it's in storage. What's the deal with religion? The use of yellow and blue (aqua=water)? The importance of a boat and its relation to Boyd. Is Sara a psychic? We need to know her and Nathan's backstory. The water in the tunnel? Does Victor know Martin. What happened to Christopher? And what happened to the 25th bus passenger (the missing piece)?
Who said reviews can't be deep..
Great video. Just rewatched both series of FROM. Remember watching this video after first watching the series and loving it. I'm wondering if maybe the bottles being hung on the tree may be the dates that someone leaves the town and is left for recognition of using the far away tree for those who later use it to go to the Lighthouse to free themselves...
Where have you been there has been some big trailers I was hoping to hear your take on it
Crazy busy but still been working on some stuff behind the scenes. I think the wait might be worth it.
A wonderful analysis....just finished season 2...and your videos was exactly what I needed to fill the gap....thank you....btw I think the symbol is spider legs too
Great analysis!
Another thing is Tabitha's reflection in the hospital window isn't her.. it's some blonde lady
It's the sun on her hair. It's clearly her face with sunlight on her hair highlights. Watch it again.
I’m just getting around to watching this review, and it was well worth. 👍
I don't trust anything the evil entity says. I think what Boyd did was needed and the entity is trying to make him doubt himself just like making him doubt about destroying the music box and making hope the problem. I understand the Pandora reference and hope as one of the evils, the duality of hope but it's a manipulation also to break someone
Agree about Jade too Spot on and the actor is very talented- I love this!!
Where are people getting the behind the scene photo of all of Victor's drawings? I can't find it.
Underated
Great breakdown! I know this show has a cult following. It is now one of my favorite shows. I just wish it was on Netflix or Prime and not a service nobody knows about. It would be SOO much more popular.
Prime has MGM!! 😉
What do you think of all all the number 47 references?
I think the most compelling parallel would be Father Khatri's reference to a 47th book of the Bible, hinting at a possible apocalypse or post-apocalyptic scenario.
Wow, we have a legit timetable. Prior to this video that you realize/prove time is the same in FromLand. I broke down in detail "about" how much time has passed in From.
•Until the day Marielle & the bus arrive, I previously wrote about 1 month passes entering S2.
-Kristi missing since, 08/06/21
-Matthew's arrive 2/20/22
-Marielle arrives 6 months later
-If someone says, "It's been 6 months," at most it can be 6 months + 3 weeks before someone would say 7 months, which would take us to 02/27/22
•Based off what I broke down it's crazy that only one week has passed even if most episodes ½ a day to 1 day passes. Primarily due to some events such as: a the end when Tabitha & Jim were digging the hole, multiple days were represented. Plus, building the radio tower represented AT LEAST 2 days. Also, after the Colony house massacre, everyone moving out, burying bodies, & and funerals, which happened off episodes, idk seems more than 1 week.
Right! You'd think more time would've passed over 20 episodes, haha.
The music box song is from 1876 My Grandfather's Clock. Big clue
I also find the shows very allegorical and full of personifications, many representations of the psychological side the world; like the main characters are almost all personification of some archetype or concepts, even how the curse works; including the town itself.
Some may have posted this but did anyone notice the PC in the hospital is running Windows 95. A OS where Microsoft stoped supporting in 2001. A hospital would not use a software they dont get saftey updates on. I know hospitals use old software but 95 is a long time ago. Can she be in the samed time periode as Victors mother tried to go to the lighthouse. Did she die or is just her body behind but she is alive?
It may be some custom system. I’ve seen healthcare settings using these proprietary ehr systems that look very old school. In the trailer for season 3 there’s what looks like one of those smart security cameras on the side of the house, which leads me to think she might be in the present, but we’ll find out :D
I also think she's in the present but I think we're gonna find out that say they've been missing for like a week in the real world but in fromville its actually like a year has passed or vice versa idk something about there being significant differences in how long has passed and what it felt like to them had passed in fromville🤷🤯💯
It feels like Ethan will become Victor if he finds out his mother body is outside of a tree.
I ❤ your videos😊 Thank you 14:30
Where do the buildings come from, how did they get there and how long have they been there????!
OMG! I just read about Jack Bender in the link that you posted, and he’s also working on a series based on Stephen King’s novel, The Institute. I LOVE that book, and I HIGHLY recommend it!! I’m so excited!!
Well that explains Mr. King's keen interest in the show!
I've recently just discovered this series and binged 2 seasons in 3 days. I've come to the conclusion that they're trapped in some part of hell maybe. That's why there's no bibles in the town at all which they made a point about. Also the drawing of the red monster in the underground could represent the devil whilst the boy in white represents innocence and only shows himself to Victor and Ethan. Also the visions the people are having are related to their past lives and maybe the reason they're in hell. The children were calling Tabitha Aunt Cooey and her reflection was different at the end of the season. I think they could somehow be reincarnated as different people and keep coming back to the town. Jade was having visions of the civil war soldier and seems to be getting obsessed with the symbol the same as the other guy did and Tabitha and Victors mum seem to reflect each other
If the dungeon only appears "in phase" when there is torchlight, what if the Town itself only appears when lit by the fire of the Lighthouse?
That’s a really interesting possibility. The fact that the glass around the actual fire appears to be partly broken may also suggest that someone may have tried to put it out in the past.
@@FromLandI wonder what would happen if the gears were "gummed up" with a thick coat or blanket?
Hope you come back for season 3
Well, wasn't this worth the wait? (Spoilers: it absolutely was)
GeoGuessr Pros out here with that Camden, Maine find. Crazy
EXCELLENT❤❤❤ I'm enjoying the journey. Jungian psychology is infinitely fascinating.
in terms of understanding what's going on, we areexactly the same with the in-show characters lol like, other shows tend to have leaks or very revealing hints if you can see them. But in this show, we are both so lost lol like the amount of info we have are the same; just some middle parts of jigsaw puzzle
Finally 😫😫😫😫😫
Virtual trauma therapy? Trauma therapists are a few of the characters?
One thing frustrates me that why the hell Sara does not give further details to Boyd about "it" and "they" at least to help him finding the music box and the miscommunication between them kenny as well
It seems that the writers have given us many threads which can support a number of theories at the same time, until its ultimately revealed. I definitely agree that there are many influences from great horror writers/movies. Definitely many illusions to nightmare on elm street, stranger things and steven king. Which Stranger things is heavily influenced from his work. So, as i was watching the last two seasons i noticed a number of analogous concepts and set ups especially from the short story, The Boogeyman, if it bleeds. The outsider (sk book) and the dark tower. Another youtuber released a very interesting video (E-man's movie reviews) on his support of who is the big bad of this town. I will speak about the dark tower elements. First, the lighthouse does seem to parralel the tower, as its a nexus between many worlds. Boyd is a sheriff, or a gunslinger, like Roland Deschain. There is an obsession with reaching the lighthouse, much like the dark tower. There are allusions to a good and bad entity, like the crimson king and Gan, the creator of the tower. Also, in his book, insomnia, it is revealed as the overall forces which control the world are the random (chaos) and order. Both sides have agents who are in constant struggle. So, if the boy in white is one entity and there is another entity struggling against it, there is that similarity. Also, the way in which tabitha was sent to another world is similar to rolands fate. Lastly, there is analogies to the breakers held in prison to the 7 children who dome have theorised hold up this town.
Interesting take but I'm still leaning towards a dream or virtual reality they're trapped in. Tabitha dies in the dream world and wakes up in the real world.
@jonfreeman9682 I like that too. The question, who's dream is it? I think if it went that route, finding out who the dreamer is would be very interesting. Sorta reminds me of Bloodborne where the story takes place in the hunters dream to birth an old God.
@@jonfreeman9682 some people say it's her son's dream , because of that cromeknockle story he's always referencing
@@JoseRamirez-vb1sk This story can go in so many directions. It can be aliens snatching humans put them in some weird zoo with monsters to study them like ants in a sandbox like in that movie Dark City. Or this could be another dimension they're trapped in and the lighthouse is a portal to get back home. All those ghosts of past victims, the scary looking kids, the boy in white could be spirits of past victims trying to help guide the people still left. Or this could be a dream like virtual reality machine they're hooked up in and can't get out. All the people here could be in the hospital hooked up to a dream machine to help them rehabilitate from severe injury and are in a coma but something's gone wrong and this dream world has turned into a nightmare world. This is like the movie ghost of war, Matrix and Netflix show 1899. The boy in white and the scary children could be virtual reality avatars like help angels to provide tech support in this dream world.
So this show can go any of those 3 directions. I'm leaning towards the virtual reality dream world gone wrong just because so many movies and shows choose this story direction. The other two aliens snatching humans for experiment or other worldly dimensions and portals aren't really used that much. Only one that comes to mind is dark city.
There's alot of possibilities including maybe even time travel. But the waking up from a dream in a comma is the easy cop out writers use without having to explain everything. LoL
Also think about H.P. Lovecraftian , monster on cave walls has tentacles, Cthulhu, Elder/Ancient Gods ie Cthulhu he's said to be slumbering deep in the sea idk feels like kinda Cabin in the Woods vibes you know in the end of that movie it was all sacrifices to keep the Great Ancient Old Gods from coming back and annihilating everything and everyone maybe some kinda Cosmic game between the elder gods the townspeople are their chess/monopoly board pieces definitely a good possibility 💯🤯🤷
Dude Bravo
It's the boogeyman!! Fear, kids, bugs, scarecrow, dreams, ect....
❤️ ty
Amazing
Answer me this.. was this town built in the 70s. In Victor’s flashback the town is newer. Even the sign in the missing hotel looks new. And in the instructions you see how the town looked. And btw where is the hotel?
Yeah, the town does seem a lot newer when Victor was a child (and it should), but also more specifically it looked very well kept. Maybe the town as we know it was put together around that time. The missing hotel further adds to the “scrapbook” idea of the town. The elements of the town seem pretty random. Really curious to find out what is the mechanism behind the town.
@@FromLand fyi… I’m going to post our comments on my From group on FB
@@lisajohnson2004 Sure! :)
Sara is doing something bad as a therapist to help the others overcome trauma (virtual group therapy?) in order to wake up? Therapists are sometimes looked at as monsters in order to face and overcone our demons.
An hour ???
You tease....I thought I was getting 30 min 😂
Its very much like this reality we are in.. the different spectrum of lighs.. "the unknow or the nothing
I am going to pissed off if this is some simulation they entered into in an effort to heal their psychic traumas.
What if Tilly been in there life at one point she’s seems old enough also what if the adults who all looked the same age grew up in a special program and Tilly was the head nurse like stranger thing
