S1E2 Kenny says the town doesn’t know where the animals came from. The guy also says in the same scene a clue is in every house. Assault at the dinner and the group dealing with animals was mimicked by the creatures later that night. Something about what the townspeople do during the day time is mimicked in the murders at night.
It was definitely emotional but damn good Boyd said they going to catch one of them sounds like he Wants to interrogate one to find out their weaknesses.
Yes. No y'all have gone way to far! I was looking for who in the hell is playing Celebration on the Juke box. Now it seems like the writers are just being petty, vindictive and cruel!
That is masterful storytelling, as well as when Kenny came back to town with food as full of joy as one can possibly be. From the highest of highs to lowest of lows. We have seen many films attempt this, yet not one has ever felt like such a Rollercoaster ride. That moment felt like split second between going up a coaster and going down it, where you're sort of just floating. The entire episode felt like that. That was the best television episode ever created.
@@puertogreekn8675 Also the way they handled the characters being at their breaking point while also seeking support from others was so well done too. Not many shows can actually pull off that kind of connection between the cast to such an extent there is both tension and support. Also it's so good the show showed a man struggling so much and getting support and comfort (a hug) from another man. It's so important for that kind of thing to be role modeled in TV as so often guys don't want to or feel they can seek support from other, especially from other guys. The show never diminished another's feelings but the episode did a really good job of actually having people talk and listen to one another. It's not just about the horror or the mystery, it's about seeking a group of people both pulling each other apart and holding each other together.
I swear that’s what I was thinking. Why can’t Jim just be a parent? Who allows their kids just go off near dark after all he knows, but especially after seeing what happened to Ms. Liu?
I'm honestly surprised he hasn't won an award for his acting on this show. He is definitely 1 of my favorite characters, I also have really started to like Jade.
Thanks for saying that, Ms. Lu actually followed Victor, I think to make sure he was fine, she didn't know the animals were loose until being outside, and boyd and Jade were already outside farther upward. Also, I'm glad boyd reminded Donna she was the main one going crazy over the food sources that were left the previous day.
I came into conclusion that there 3 dimensions in this from universe and the first world is on the from void where the monster are second is on Tabitha, then sadly the third is where the real world I mean the real world ,,,Then perhaps the boy in white are trying to correct the timeline to bring them back to the real main world because all of them are just a figment of imagination
Harold Perrineau acting is mind blowing, so much above everyone else. Him and the guy that is now looking like a crazy homeless dude are the best actors. They look in constant pain, always alert, always on edge. Very good acting, love him.
That's intentional. I'm telling you, there's a reason to why he's injured there. If this is some simulation, it might represent a wound in the real world.
But he can't remember everything. He was a child when he showed up and suffered alot of loss so has repressed memories. But he has a special connection to the boy in white who is like an angel giving guidance.
It’s only episode two and this season has already broken me 😢😭. How is this show and cast (especially Harold Perrineau) not getting any acclaimed attention is beyond me.
Notice how Fatima said she was nauseated just from smelling food. She said she couldn't keep anything down. But the second she sees rotted food, and smells it, she's intrigued. That's definitely something to keep an eye on. She only wants rotten food
I think we are seeing how the monsters come to be monsters! Maybe Fatima is really not pregnant! Maybe she is becoming one of them and her “pregnancy” is really her body changing into a creature. The food was ruined so that she can eat and continue the process of changing. She devoured that food and looked like a possessed creature while doing it! The show continues to blow my mind!!
The food was placed there in response to her death. Remember, Kenny specifically searched the area around the cabins the day before and he didn't find shit. Not even that lake. All of a sudden, there's whole town's worth of ripe veggies? Cabbages that shouldn't ripen in fall or winter? Too sus. The town feeds on hope and everyone lost hope with the rotten vegetables- so it balanced the scales.
also, the cherry on top was she suggested & spoke of a plan to plant smaller crops in fridge rent areas around in land!! i thought that was such a intriguing decision for that come in her death.
@@jasoncaldwell5627 to be fair, the main veg I noticed was cabbages which are commonly harvested in the fall. And it's not clear how much time they had to scout the area before hunkering down for the night.
I was kind of disappointed that they didn't set fire to the tunnels. Sure, maybe it wasn't the right moment, but Kenny is on point - they need to start fighting back. I hope they don't drop that plan completely.
I think it would be dumb those tunnels run under the town. They’d essentially burn out the town along with maybe the monsters and if the monsters don’t die they are all out in the open?
The creatures would definitely retaliate. They'd likely set the entire town on fire the same night. They have to attack strategically and with intention.
@@jasoncaldwell5627 This 1000% supports my theory that all the people here are chosen for one reason or another. In season 1, the show made a point to say that lost items from the towns folk have shown up in the back room of the diner, I think it was. But they were items that were lost from long before any of them showed up in Fromtown. This thread fell off and nothing more was really said about (from what I remember) but that was my first clue that these people are pre-determined to show up in the town. But maybe the point of the lost items is that it's just a detail to align with all the other details that prove this theory right. I mean, we now know that Tabitha has been chosen.
@@nevermindmyname813 Yes, exactly. Good thinking. Father Kathri was chosen as well- that "voice of God" he heard. They need to dig through everything in storage. I wonder if the town chooses a number of people emotionally damaged so they won't question things- they'll just try to survive. The NPCs.
Hey Emmanuel I just want to say thank you for all the time you take to make these videos. I listen to your videos almost every night to help me sleep. Don’t really have anyone to talk to about this show so listening to your theories or break downs helps with that.
😂😂 what if??!! Those kids looked all types of messed up! Maybe they were fromville babies just like Fatima's baby 😂 I do wonder if she is the first person to get pregnant in this place? There are couples living there! It isn't like there is birth control or plan b or condoms! If they're doing the hokie pokie then there has to be some pregnancies resulting from that. Unless of course, the men's pull out game is expert level! 😂😂
What Victor’s father said is the key to the entire show. It’s a riddle. The most important aspect of the riddle is that a person can’t FIND their way in and out of the town. They have to be shown. But you’re only shown when youre LOST, both literally and figuratively. However, I think the YOU in the riddle is also key. I think the rules of the game change when the group works together. They have to work together if they all want to leave.
I also like to add that based on Victor's father's comment it also shows that this is a quest as Ethan once mentioned in season 1 that this is a quest... Everyone is there for a purpose to finish a quest... That's why Victor's mom was drawn to the Town to save the children but she failed and died. My question is that how can Victor's mom remembered her quest when she was in the town but others like the recent characters can't really remember their quest or why they are there
this episode was just a bunch of TROLLING. i was so sick i had to laugh 😭 “we risked tian chen for food” then here come kenny and jim with crops. the SONG playing while kenny was in the diner??? the damn thomas phone call??😭😭 these entities are so weirdddddd i’m crying
Tian Chen was my favourite character by far. I held out till episode 2 hoping that somehow she'd be saved. I hate the fact that she's gone. Based on how things have gone till now though I expect (and really hope for) her to come back in visions for Boyd as a warm, reassuring contrast to Father Kathri. Even more interesting is the (unlikely, but still possible) potential that she appears to Kenny as well.
There's no reason the believe Khatri is really Khatri, or even some part of inside Boyd, as opposed to a being from the place. There's then also no reason to believe that Tian appearing to anyone would be a warm, assuring thing.
Thanks! 6:44 The scarecrows I think arent a protection against the evil since something banged on the cabin. Its protection against a new monster like the cicadas we havent seen yet.
Another point if this is in fact a demon baby the grandma is even more sus because she sensed the pregnancy. She’s doesn’t move like the typical background character everytime she’s on the screen it’s some sort of emphasis on her
Yes, and at Tien-Chen's funeral, when Ethan is going to bring the flowers we see her observing Ethan intently and then placing her hand on his shoulder.
After 2 seasons FINALLY we have some answers. I think that place is an alternate dimension as Victor's father says that the place is everywhere but you cant see it( just like in Stranger Things). Some entity or the place itself chooses people to come in from town to save those children but I think the boy in white or some other entity do not want those children to be saved. We still have out big bad guy yet to be revealed.
@@mrj4082I definitely think he is responsible for bringing people into town, he seemed to have the power to send people out too. He also has the ability to send a projection himself outside of Fromville, in front of Tabitha. Whether he is a villain is still up for debate. It's a similar situation as Jacob in Lost.
FROM is the closest show to give me early TWD vibes. Like the wins feel so good but the losses are devastating and key characters that I care about being killed hurt so much.
Well TWD early seasons 1-4 are truly remarkable. Even 5 and 6 with Negan was peak TWD. Packed with action drama and horror. This show is more a mystery box like lost. But yeah killing off key characters is tough. But we've only lost 2 so far including the church pastor.
I was thinking the same thing- are there seven dates? It could be that there's one ashy "ankoowie" child per cycle- and that could be what Fatima is giving birth to... But I don't think so. I think Fatima is giving birth to a replacement for Smiley. Did she have any symptoms before they killed Smiley?
@@jasoncaldwell5627 Fatima is definitely carrying something important/connected to the entity Seems like the entity spoiled the crops specifically to ensure whatever is growing inside her would survive
The thing that bothers me most and also the most consistent thing in the show besides the night monsters is the fact that nobody since the first episode shares any info with each other every time something happens to someone they either keep it a secret or something conveniently happens before they can say anything
It reminds me of the story Sarah tells in season 1 about broken glass and trying to figure out how it used to fit together but getting cut by the glass while doing so. They can't figure out how it fits together without getting together.
The worms give immortality and have healing properties to humans, but they're deadly to monsters. Victor has the worms. Evidence: Boyd's tremors stopped with worms Martin survived without food and water for many years with worms. The only way for martin to die was to transfer the worms. He was being tortured by having immortality but being chained up. Why does it matter? It explains two things: Victor survived alone for so many years. The monsters avoid victor. Additional evidence: Victor visibly reacted to boyd when he saw his worms. Victor always wear long sleeve shirts
Do u think Julie and Randall were somehow infected with that illness too? I know they didn't come into physical contact with the virus or whatever it is but they were in that weird coma like sleep state where they were trapped in that dungeon and chained to the wall. They were sick too! They had cold sweats and fever or something if I remember correctly. They almost died too. Did they contract something too? That could explain why the monsters didn't finish Randall off. They slashed his face but they usually gut and hallow their victims out. It's like they slashed his face and for some reason didn't finish him off. That illness is fatal to them. So maybe they couldn't kill him. I don't understand why they would leave him alive. They slashed him good so he could still die! He could bleed out or die of an infection from the wound. So it seems pointless that they attacked him but didn't kill him.
As much as I'm loving From, I hope they wrap this up in 4 seasons. Mystery box shows are great, but they need to have definitive and relatively short time limits to be successful because (1) the audience can only go so long w/o catharsis before our curiosity turns into annoyance, turns into anger, and (2) the longer you make people wait, the higher the bar will be for what qualifies as a satisfying ending which puts a shit ton of pressure on the writers to deliver. And IDK about y'all but, though I'm enjoying this season so far, I'm already at the "if we don't get answer, imma be pissed" stage of thing.
He is right though. Check out the anime, Attack Titan, and you will see why it is regarded as one of the greatest animes of all time in 4 seasons. We need more answers at least this season or the next season. Certain answers to mysteries need to be addressed.
There is no more question about it. She can't stomach food and now is only hungry for rotten food. Fatima is toast and that baby is some type of monster.
One of my theories is the reason why they found the food in the forest is because they took “murdered” Mrs Lou. The town TAKES someone and the forest GIVES something.
Also Kenny is my boy too. I feel for him. I re watched the whole series before the season3 started and it’s crazy how young, innocent, goofy,scrawny they make Kenny look. With the police officer shirt being too big for him and his boy haircut. Character development is so good for some of these characters. Not all but some. 2 episodes in and I’m so much more invested then I thought I could ever be. Can’t wait till they capture one of them 😈
Yes. Kenny had just searched the area the day before and didn't find anything like the food OR the lake. And that food doesn't grow in winter. Cabbages don't grow and ripen in freezing weather. The town is keeping hope alive. I also think it's torturing Kenny. I'm betting Krysti dies next and is replaced by the paramedic we saw in the trailer in the ambulance from the town where Tabby is. The town keeps 47 people and certain positions like medic and farmer, bartender, etc.
I think the Forrest gives something regardless if someone dies or not. It has to! Otherwise what's the point of the whole place?? It obviously wants them there for a reason so it has to provide them with what they need because it wants them there and it wants them alive. Yes people die but it definitely wants them alive for whatever reason. When Boyd first arrived they had no livestock and no talismans. He is the one who started going deep into the Forrest looking for resources. He asked the priest if anyone goes out there to look for food or whatever they can use and he said no. He said they only go in a little bit but nobody goes all the way in! So Boyd is the one who started finding livestock and more crops. Everything they need is out there. That place will continue to provide for them because it needs and wants them there ALIVE.
just found this channel. every other 'recap and review' just recaps... they go through scene by scene and just narrate what happened. It's like, "I know... I watched it." There isn't any analysis or discussion as they just tell you what happened, and if one's lucky, they might give a 30 second "hey that was a good episode" at the end. This was really well done. You provided insight as you break down the show in piecemeal fashion and raise a lot of questions, among other things. Bravo. This will be my go-to for From reviews.
I love the side glance/ awkward look Jade gave when he said that he used to play dress up….when he was a kid! That look suggested that he was thinking, “and by ‘kid,’ I mean last week!” 🤣🤣🤣
victor said he is tired of almost dying because mfs don't listen...when donna said the system is "rigged"...i said THANK YOU! Thats how yall gotta start thinking.
No one mentioned the door was locked for Fatima when she tried to go inside before eating the rotten veggies, she couldn’t get inside because of the talisman
And let’s not forget about Victor’s sister. There’s the chance that she found her mom and her mom got her through the Far-Away tree before she died. Now she’s either still stuck somewhere around the light house or she somehow made it back like Tabitha, but didn’t make it back home to her father. Unless he’s been withholding that information, which wouldn’t make sense. She would’ve more than likely told him about what she had experienced. There’s the chance she could’ve repressed the memories, similar to how Victor repressed the memories of his sister, and gone mute upon coming back and now in an upcoming episode Tabitha and the dad are going to visit his daughter and will be shown the drawings and have her memories come back. I find it strange that he never says anything about his daughter being missing, he only brings up Victor being missing initially and only speaks about his daughter when he speaks about his family as a whole. Maybe the boy in white helped her back, but with her being young and dealing with the trauma of what was going on and seeing her mother die she repressed those memories and can’t recall what happened there. EDIT: In the trailer there's in the dad's backyard there is a bottle tree, what if it was created by Miranda before leaving in hopes that it would connect to one around the town, because now we know she knew about them due to painting one. Or Eloise made it after she got back with similar hopes to her mom or its due to the major role it played in her making it back home. Plus i feel like they're going to have to talk about Eloise and Miranda, because Eloise isn't there anymore and Victor found is mom dead.
@@zoaxiee they aren’t starving any longer - Jade and Kenny found a new source of food: healthy vegetable crops ready to be picked by that new lake where the old cabins were where they stayed overnight, they brought a bunch of the veggies back to the town with them that morning.
When Tabitha was proving to Victors father she wasn’t lying, notice how she knew everyone’s last name besides Donna. Donna is definitely either a mole or known adversary of the creatures, she’s From there in some capacity.
Thomas died as a baby, "he rolled off the changing table" what'd he keep growing and maturing after death? Thats stupid it better be something just playing with Jim.
@@susyfarray7127 i do that same thing almost daily. I'm just too excited to say my piece I never bother looking until after I post my own comment or comments usually
Exactly! Some of the theories are stupid as hell 😂 I saw one about the police officer that arrived in town with Tabitha in the ambulance and her being Boyd's dead wife reincarnated! 🤦🏻♀️ I was like how??? Boyd's wife died a year and a half ago. That cop lady is a grown ass woman. So what? did Boyd's wife die and cone back an already full grown woman??? 😂 if she reincarnated she would be an infant right now not a grown woman who has lived a whole life long before Boyd's wife died.
You are spot on Harold P is a fantastic actor. I really enjoyed his role as Dean in Claws too. I was just telling my husband that HP should’ve received an Emmy for FROM I just don’t get it either.
I read a comment on another video on how Fatima struggled opening the door to get back into the colony house; maybe the talisman was making it harder for her to get in?
Really glad someone else noticed her leg. All of it is making me really think none of this about eating, it's about fear. She was tortured in front of Boyd in various ways and we say that in this episode. It's such a clean looking area and they used clawing alot in the really traumatic snippet. Ngl I was kinda hoping we wouldn't have to see it.
Read on another video, someones comment stated : "It's Carcosa, more closely, the Dreamlands from Lovecraft and Eldrich lore. Symbol is that of Artach Nach, evil spider god that links dimensions. The walkers are ghouls, and Hastur is the big bad controlling the entire realm." After briefly reading into the names and ideas mentioned i definitely agree that it sounds like at least the basis for the core concept of whats taking place. Maybe the king in yellow " hastur" is the painting of the guy in the yellow suit. Hastur also had a son and a daughter. And ive noticed theres alot of yellowed used in the show. Like ethan wearing a yellow jacket. (But that could just be me reaching bc i want to make that connection)
Now we know why Harrold said he would only be watching this episode one last time. When I heard that I thought "no way im watching it 20 times like every other episode". Now I understand.
Victors mom told him to hide in a place where Christopher does not know about. I think Christopher was supposed to break the cycle by letting everyone die, but Victor survived. So the cycle was not reset. My biggest confirmation of this theory is the fact that the creatures are donning 50’s 60’s era attire
@@agentchaos3947 Christopher was the guy who drew the symbol that Jade keeps seeing. he drew it in a book over and over and became obsessed with it. Kennys' mum gave Jade the book from the storage at the dinner where past peoples stuff is.
Everytime someone leaves town farther out or unfamiliar territory they always find important things but end up coming home or back to chaos. Boyd with the talisman and now Kenny with his mom. I'm sure there are other examples
some people brought up how tien chan could've just said it in english however broken that may be. English is most definitely not her mother tongue and neither is it mine. it is very difficult to translate speech in that kind of situation. so unless you have been speaking english in a daily manor for years it is not possible i think. Also Boyd reciting that all night just so he could memorize and convey this message that he could not understand just hit so hard. i almost cried on that one.
I don't cry easily anymore with shows or movies but this got me. So many sad scenes. 😢 Ethan couldn’t accept she was dead and was going to put a blanket on her. Then the scene with Kenny calling out to her in denial I just can’t. Still feeling sad. I agree the town is messed up beyond belief for playing that song on the radio also thanks for the laughs. I think it’s not Thomas and that the town is messing with people like it always does
Naw, Sarah got 2 ppl killed in the hospital, killed her brother, tried to kill Ethan, and Father Khatri died when he stayed with Boyd to talk about Sarah! lol She aiint redeemed herself yet!
@EJaramillo Yeah, she killed Jade's friend as well, but I am still giving her smoke because Father Khatri was only there with Boyd that night because of her actions, so I am still counting that one lol
@TamaraInTanzania2 She is gonna have to sacrifice herself to save somebody eventually. I don't think she is gonna make it. The writer's may have her atone for her mistakes beforehand so we can feel bad at her death. That is why they showed her helping Boyd, and Ethan and Julie.
My problem with theorycrafting is that this show hasn't shown that it's worth doing. The writers haven't shown that they're willing to commit to picking an answer and revealing it later. Genuinely, name ONE revelation we've seen on the show, 3 seasons in. I'll wait. Compare it to something like Lost, where they let the audience theorize about what's in the hatch -- then they reveal it to them. Writing a good mystery box show requires the writers to do the hard work of asking a worthwhile question, then commit to giving the audience the answer. So far they haven't shown this commitment.
On one end, I keep thinking that’s sort of the point but on the other, this is exactly what happened to Game of Thrones and we were so underwhelmed by the ending.
Fatima and the rotten food is like in American Horror Story Delicate, Emma Robert's character was pregnant and she was eating a dead rotting cat. Also it's It's a jukebox not a radio. Years ago lots of restaurants had little jukeboxes in each booth and you could put in a quarter and play 3 songs of your choice. So you know the diner is pretty old. I haven't seen a jukebox in a booth since the 70s. So being a jukebox it would only have a certain number of songs and they wouldn't change until the man who collected the money from the boxes. So whoever has control of them has songs that probably came out pretty far from the original songs on it. "Celebration" came out in 80 and Lovettes "If I Had a Boat" in 87. Idk if any of that means anything or is a clue of some sort. If it's nothing at least you had a lesson on jukeboxes... Lol
I don’t think it’s Thomas. Since he was younger than Ethan and only 2 months old and I think he passed somewhat recently before the family’s trip. The voice on the phone seemed too old. At this point, I’m thinking it’s the town/monsters messing with Jim.
I think the town just harps on whatever will break the people and Jim has strong feelings about Thomas due to the conversation with his daughter, so it’s not an actual person on the phone anyway
I love how you do the recap in little sections followed by your commentary and reaction. This is so much better than others out there who do a full recap for 20+ mins before they even offer their reaction and commentary. Thank you so much!!! And I love how you say it as it is! Fatima is def having a demon baby! And you speak the emotions we all feel, like I was totally heartbroken for Boyd mourning for Tien Chen and when Kenny came back and found out I cried too! And I also had the same question, couldn't Boyd have just allowed the animals to wander off and then just look for them during the day when it was safe? Thank you for nailing all the points on the head!
I have lots of animals. When we don't lock them up in the barn at night, we sometimes come across their eviscerated corpse in the morning. The animals are alpacas, and the entity that kills them is a mountain lion. Last night, I watched a bear attack the walls of the barn. It was repelled, probably because of the tallisman hanging inside. Er, wait... No, I yelled at him and he left. Anyway, yes, that's something barns are good for. However, they don't explain what they feed these animals or where that feed comes from, which is probably a bigger plot issue.
Martin was cuffed there with other people that somehow were freed, when the cicadas got into Julie and the other two persons they were laying down in the actual town while they were also cuffed in that other dimension exactly how martin was, it also means when martin was cuffed there he might have been present in another dimension laying on his back with those creepy eyes exactly like how the others were
ROLLER COASTER ASS EPISODE. Making me laugh with the goats eating Jade's string, choke up with Kenny's mom, laugh at "Celebration", scream "YESSSSSSSS TORCH THE TUNNELS" scream "NOOOOOOO, DON'T GO BACK TO TOWN" then "YESSSSSS, CAPTURE A MONSTER". Lol. Next episode's gonna be hype.
In Jim's defense, it made sense to me when he saw his son upset and wanted to go look for his mother. I understood the guilt he may have felt by not at least trying to look for her. I get that if he wasn't going to do it, who was? People in town are afraid and don't venture off. I think if he didn't go look for her, or if he did, at least one of his kids would be upset. I like the arc the show took with his character and how it led to this new discovery. Great writing. Also, YES, Harold Perrineau carries the show for me. He is incredible. He said in an interview that the town doesn't like love. So maybe the music box seems like just another tool (or puppet) the town uses to manipulate emotions and schemes against the townspeople. Like the monsters are tools/ puppets also. So far, like LOST, I am just seeing information that points to an ultimately "dark force," which we have not seen revealed yet. And the boy in white clearly is the "white force for good." I am going to take a guess that there will be a personified "evil dark character" that is eventually revealed . Maybe the Boy in white will tell us who this is ? Great video thumbs up from me of course😊
@maetaylor5677 I'm going to have to disagree. Even tho they did end up finding food, what was he really going to find besides maybe a dead body? Where ever she was the only chance she had of coming back was on her own plus you leave your 2 children alone who are already pretty messed up how do you think they would cope with learning the news of losing both parents. Like his daughter said, get your $hit together he's a very big asset to his family and the town he can't afford to go on scavenger hunts for someone who is clearly dead or gone. (I'm saying this as if I'm in the town with them, and I don't have knowledge that his wife is still alive)
That was a GREAT insight you had about the entity not wanting to necessarily break Boyd; that it is far more likely it will break Kenny. Kudos E-man - you are very perceptive and I love your lively commentary and thoughts!! :D
Fatima tries to open the door to the colony house but the door doesn't open (39:56), then (40:32) the other girl easily opens it and walks in just before Fatima eats the rotten food. Was Fatima being stopped by the talisman because she is turning into a monster or is her baby the monster?
Hmm 🧐 I noticed her not being able to enter the house as well, but I didn’t catch that the other lady just went in…Fatima becoming a monster would also play into the monster that guy (forgot his name) keeps having whenever he falls asleep.
Great Episode and great review! This one had me in tears! When Kenny called for his mom and then the scene with him and Boyd! Still have some questions of course but looking forward to more episodes
Maaaaan, when the celebration song came on when Kenny was in the diner while grieving for Tien Chin was diabolical! You are correct - the town gets the PETTY ward of the year!! 😂
It is 8:45 am on Sunday, and I have cried 4 times...I'm sooo sad....I'm sooo mad....I'm scared....I'm worried....I'm all the emotions right now. Like I'm sooo mad at the makers of this movie for hurting me like this. My eyes are going to be swollen all day from crying so hard. Love this cruel show!!!
i found it quiet interesting that Victor's mother had 2 kids, Victor and his sister Elouise, also Tabitha also have 2 kids, Julie Ethan. And both the mothers are seeing the 2 ghost kids, who are also a boy and a girl. Why are the chosen ones always the ones with the kids ?
probably because they are already mothers, they would be more empathetic to children in need. they would see those 2 kids like their 2 kids and have a sympathy, they would hope someone would help their children if they needed it.
I have 3kids. I love all kids w my entire heart. Mothers weither the kids are theirs or not are going to try to protect all the kids. Now then ghost & moster kids? That’s where my blackness kicks in 😂😂😂😂fuqqqqkkkkk them‼️ 😂😂😂😂
What did you think about this episode? 👀
Easily one of the most emotional episodes from the series so far 😢
@@edyka5 💯
S1E2 Kenny says the town doesn’t know where the animals came from.
The guy also says in the same scene a clue is in every house.
Assault at the dinner and the group dealing with animals was mimicked by the creatures later that night. Something about what the townspeople do during the day time is mimicked in the murders at night.
It was definitely emotional but damn good Boyd said they going to catch one of them sounds like he Wants to interrogate one to find out their weaknesses.
this one tore me up grown ass man balling lol
Seeing Kenny come back with the food and calling out to his mom was SO heart breaking
Instant tears
I felt nothing. Now if Kristi died😢
Very well done it blew sand in my eyes
He acted the hell out of that scene. No dry eye
My wife was cutting onions while we watched it in the kitchen. But yeah a sad thing
The entity was laughing in Kenny's face with that song on the jukebox; truly malicious.
Right. That was so messed up
I was so angry. This show has me feeling all the feels.
Yes. No y'all have gone way to far! I was looking for who in the hell is playing Celebration on the Juke box. Now it seems like the writers are just being petty, vindictive and cruel!
That is masterful storytelling, as well as when Kenny came back to town with food as full of joy as one can possibly be. From the highest of highs to lowest of lows. We have seen many films attempt this, yet not one has ever felt like such a Rollercoaster ride. That moment felt like split second between going up a coaster and going down it, where you're sort of just floating. The entire episode felt like that. That was the best television episode ever created.
@@puertogreekn8675 Also the way they handled the characters being at their breaking point while also seeking support from others was so well done too. Not many shows can actually pull off that kind of connection between the cast to such an extent there is both tension and support.
Also it's so good the show showed a man struggling so much and getting support and comfort (a hug) from another man. It's so important for that kind of thing to be role modeled in TV as so often guys don't want to or feel they can seek support from other, especially from other guys. The show never diminished another's feelings but the episode did a really good job of actually having people talk and listen to one another. It's not just about the horror or the mystery, it's about seeking a group of people both pulling each other apart and holding each other together.
Ethan and Juile: We are gunna go check on the animals...
Me as a black parent reaction: GET YO ASSS BACK HERE !
I swear that’s what I was thinking. Why can’t Jim just be a parent? Who allows their kids just go off near dark after all he knows, but especially after seeing what happened to Ms. Liu?
@@phillylady she’s almost grown but I wouldn’t let my son go.
😂😂😂😂 facts
😂😂exactly
That has nothing to do with ethnicity
Agreed, Harold Perrineau deserves a reward ASAP, I didn't even know he did not have any, that's crazy!
You should watch him in Oz. Amazing actor.
@@Gigipretty64 I loved him as Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet. My favorite Character in that Baz Luhrman movie version with Leo D and claire Danes.
I'm honestly surprised he hasn't won an award for his acting on this show. He is definitely 1 of my favorite characters, I also have really started to like Jade.
Damon Pope
He was also in Lost. Real fans know.
Boyd did NOT put anybody in danger. they all came out on thier own.even told miss liuy to leave. stop saying it was his fault
Thanks for saying that, Ms. Lu actually followed Victor, I think to make sure he was fine, she didn't know the animals were loose until being outside, and boyd and Jade were already outside farther upward. Also, I'm glad boyd reminded Donna she was the main one going crazy over the food sources that were left the previous day.
Calm down, no need to take it to heart lol it's just a script😭
Exactly. And the monsters never messed with the animals
Tyyyyy
@@mjl7437yes we do need to take it to heart
The amount of times my eyes watered😭😭 The opening scene with Boyd hugging Tien’s body broke my heart
I know. Not much can get me, but that episode did.
Right. It's how he jumped right from bring free. That was heart wrenching
I came into conclusion that there 3 dimensions in this from universe and the first world is on the from void where the monster are second is on Tabitha, then sadly the third is where the real world I mean the real world ,,,Then perhaps the boy in white are trying to correct the timeline to bring them back to the real main world because all of them are just a figment of imagination
Kenny hugged his dead father's body the same way
Omg that was heart shattering.
Harold Perrineau acting is mind blowing, so much above everyone else.
Him and the guy that is now looking like a crazy homeless dude are the best actors.
They look in constant pain, always alert, always on edge.
Very good acting, love him.
When Harold is acting in this show, all I see is BOYD. That's how amazing he is.🎉🎉
Boyds damn shoulder can't catch a break.
😂😂
The monsters are always snatching his arms and shoulders up!
😂😂😂😂
That's intentional. I'm telling you, there's a reason to why he's injured there.
If this is some simulation, it might represent a wound in the real world.
😂😂
They need to speak to Victor, that man knows WAYYYY more than he’s letting on about this damn place.
@@thamim4927 jade tried and he didn't tell him anything
@@Mr.Matrix.0101I wouldn't also if you know every time you say something, that person never comes back.
But he can't remember everything. He was a child when he showed up and suffered alot of loss so has repressed memories. But he has a special connection to the boy in white who is like an angel giving guidance.
If Jim asked Victor where his wife went instead of randomly wandering the woods looking for her🤦♀️
@@mjl7437 yo , they all know that she went inside that tree , but they don't know after that , even victor doesn't know
It’s only episode two and this season has already broken me 😢😭. How is this show and cast (especially Harold Perrineau) not getting any acclaimed attention is beyond me.
It's criminal! Smh
Sorry these kinda mystery box sci-fi shows are not award contenders no matter how good it is. Only serious drama gets award recognition.
This 🔥 also how will I make it to the end of this season I have no more strength 😫
The "Celebration" song was actually INSANELY CRUEL LOL 🤣🤣
I’m not gonna lie I laughed out loud 🤣🤣
I imagined celebration being played in Chinese
When they showed Kenny breaking the radio in the Season 3 trailer, I would have never guessed that it was because it started playing Celebration.
Straight up EVIL
Damn give poor Kenny a break. SMH
Notice how Fatima said she was nauseated just from smelling food. She said she couldn't keep anything down. But the second she sees rotted food, and smells it, she's intrigued. That's definitely something to keep an eye on. She only wants rotten food
That was such a great and disgusting scene. This show is MASTERFULY done.
The others have plans for her. They didn't "poison" the crops per se, they *_prepared_* them for her child.
I think we are seeing how the monsters come to be monsters! Maybe Fatima is really not pregnant! Maybe she is becoming one of them and her “pregnancy” is really her body changing into a creature. The food was ruined so that she can eat and continue the process of changing. She devoured that food and looked like a possessed creature while doing it! The show continues to blow my mind!!
More clues are available in the video i uploaded, you guys should watch it. Trust me, worth it. Give a try
@@SuzanneT53I don’t think she looked like a possessed creature but the rest of your theory makes a lot of sense. Well done.
Another slap in the face was that she died saving the animals and the next morning they came with food .
The food was placed there in response to her death.
Remember, Kenny specifically searched the area around the cabins the day before and he didn't find shit.
Not even that lake.
All of a sudden, there's whole town's worth of ripe veggies? Cabbages that shouldn't ripen in fall or winter?
Too sus.
The town feeds on hope and everyone lost hope with the rotten vegetables- so it balanced the scales.
also, the cherry on top was she suggested & spoke of a plan to plant smaller crops in fridge rent areas around in land!! i thought that was such a intriguing decision for that come in her death.
*different areas
@@jasoncaldwell5627 to be fair, the main veg I noticed was cabbages which are commonly harvested in the fall. And it's not clear how much time they had to scout the area before hunkering down for the night.
I was kind of disappointed that they didn't set fire to the tunnels. Sure, maybe it wasn't the right moment, but Kenny is on point - they need to start fighting back. I hope they don't drop that plan completely.
I was fucking furious when Boyd and Kenny stopped doing what they were doing to go back
True but Boyd later said they gonna start setting traps to capture one of the monsters
@@mrj4082then that’s the end of the show lol the monsters is what makes the show
I think it would be dumb those tunnels run under the town. They’d essentially burn out the town along with maybe the monsters and if the monsters don’t die they are all out in the open?
The creatures would definitely retaliate. They'd likely set the entire town on fire the same night. They have to attack strategically and with intention.
Perrineau deserves ALL the awards! He's amazing in all his roles! He nearly stole the show in Claws, and was perfect alongside Neicy Nash.
And not to be petty, but Tabitha needs a shower. I understand she's been through a lot, but you'd think at least washing her face would be a priority.
I’m glad victor ‘chewed out Ethan,
He’s was becoming whining and annoying,
It’s time for him to be more affected by what’s happening in the town,
agreed..... but parents could never tell it how it is trying to protect like things gonna be peaches n cream ha
😂he’s a kid that’s what they do
Agreed. Ethan’s becoming irritating.
Ethan is a child. He's acting just like he suppose to💯
If Ethan opens up another door and let the monster inside then I would give the Monsters a knife and fork to enjoy an Ethan buffet!
The town rotted the food FOR the baby, maybe??
That’s what I’m thinking. It’s all too perfect
YES- and it provided a pregnancy nurse too. Very considerate.
The town sometimes provides before there's a need- like it's jumping the cycle a bit.
Wow this one was nice
@@jasoncaldwell5627 This 1000% supports my theory that all the people here are chosen for one reason or another. In season 1, the show made a point to say that lost items from the towns folk have shown up in the back room of the diner, I think it was. But they were items that were lost from long before any of them showed up in Fromtown. This thread fell off and nothing more was really said about (from what I remember) but that was my first clue that these people are pre-determined to show up in the town. But maybe the point of the lost items is that it's just a detail to align with all the other details that prove this theory right. I mean, we now know that Tabitha has been chosen.
@@nevermindmyname813 Yes, exactly. Good thinking. Father Kathri was chosen as well- that "voice of God" he heard.
They need to dig through everything in storage. I wonder if the town chooses a number of people emotionally damaged so they won't question things- they'll just try to survive. The NPCs.
Cried so much for boyd and kenny.. they acted beautifully had me all choked up😢
Hey Emmanuel I just want to say thank you for all the time you take to make these videos. I listen to your videos almost every night to help me sleep. Don’t really have anyone to talk to about this show so listening to your theories or break downs helps with that.
Thank you so much for watching!
Maybe Fatima will have an “Akooie” child! 😂
This got me cackling
😂😂
😳😳😳
😂😂 what if??!! Those kids looked all types of messed up! Maybe they were fromville babies just like Fatima's baby 😂 I do wonder if she is the first person to get pregnant in this place? There are couples living there! It isn't like there is birth control or plan b or condoms! If they're doing the hokie pokie then there has to be some pregnancies resulting from that. Unless of course, the men's pull out game is expert level! 😂😂
What Victor’s father said is the key to the entire show. It’s a riddle. The most important aspect of the riddle is that a person can’t FIND their way in and out of the town. They have to be shown. But you’re only shown when youre LOST, both literally and figuratively. However, I think the YOU in the riddle is also key. I think the rules of the game change when the group works together. They have to work together if they all want to leave.
I also like to add that based on Victor's father's comment it also shows that this is a quest as Ethan once mentioned in season 1 that this is a quest... Everyone is there for a purpose to finish a quest... That's why Victor's mom was drawn to the Town to save the children but she failed and died.
My question is that how can Victor's mom remembered her quest when she was in the town but others like the recent characters can't really remember their quest or why they are there
this episode was just a bunch of TROLLING. i was so sick i had to laugh 😭 “we risked tian chen for food” then here come kenny and jim with crops. the SONG playing while kenny was in the diner??? the damn thomas phone call??😭😭 these entities are so weirdddddd i’m crying
Yeah... they playing serious mind games now
Tian Chen was my favourite character by far. I held out till episode 2 hoping that somehow she'd be saved. I hate the fact that she's gone.
Based on how things have gone till now though I expect (and really hope for) her to come back in visions for Boyd as a warm, reassuring contrast to Father Kathri.
Even more interesting is the (unlikely, but still possible) potential that she appears to Kenny as well.
There's no reason the believe Khatri is really Khatri, or even some part of inside Boyd, as opposed to a being from the place. There's then also no reason to believe that Tian appearing to anyone would be a warm, assuring thing.
@@LampDoesVideogame :(
Thanks! 6:44 The scarecrows I think arent a protection against the evil since something banged on the cabin. Its protection against a new monster like the cicadas we havent seen yet.
Another point if this is in fact a demon baby the grandma is even more sus because she sensed the pregnancy. She’s doesn’t move like the typical background character everytime she’s on the screen it’s some sort of emphasis on her
I noticed that, too. She is creepy.
What grandma are you talking about?
😂@@bilalsultan5771
Yes, and at Tien-Chen's funeral, when Ethan is going to bring the flowers we see her observing Ethan intently and then placing her hand on his shoulder.
@@bilalsultan5771Tillie
the town HATES Kenny oml 😓
After 2 seasons FINALLY we have some answers. I think that place is an alternate dimension as Victor's father says that the place is everywhere but you cant see it( just like in Stranger Things). Some entity or the place itself chooses people to come in from town to save those children but I think the boy in white or some other entity do not want those children to be saved. We still have out big bad guy yet to be revealed.
I think The Boy in White is the villain
yeah me too@@mrj4082
@@mrj4082I definitely think he is responsible for bringing people into town, he seemed to have the power to send people out too. He also has the ability to send a projection himself outside of Fromville, in front of Tabitha. Whether he is a villain is still up for debate. It's a similar situation as Jacob in Lost.
@@mrj4082 Which is why he led Tabitha to Victor's father, so he could show her his wife's paintings?... No.
The man in yellow that hasn’t been introduced yet. I’m thinking the boy is trying to defeat his “dad”
FROM is the closest show to give me early TWD vibes. Like the wins feel so good but the losses are devastating and key characters that I care about being killed hurt so much.
Well TWD early seasons 1-4 are truly remarkable. Even 5 and 6 with Negan was peak TWD. Packed with action drama and horror. This show is more a mystery box like lost. But yeah killing off key characters is tough. But we've only lost 2 so far including the church pastor.
I love twd. This show is definitely one of those.
What if the dates Tabitha saw in the light house during her vision were the dates the other chosen people came to save the children
Okay, I wonder if it's just a trap though and the kids are thee lure...
I was thinking the same thing- are there seven dates?
It could be that there's one ashy "ankoowie" child per cycle- and that could be what Fatima is giving birth to...
But I don't think so.
I think Fatima is giving birth to a replacement for Smiley.
Did she have any symptoms before they killed Smiley?
@@jasoncaldwell5627 Fatima is definitely carrying something important/connected to the entity
Seems like the entity spoiled the crops specifically to ensure whatever is growing inside her would survive
@@TrinaShuntae93 Agreed. Then it provided a bunch of crops to keep hope alive.
Gotta keep the NPCs happy.

@@jadakissable9 yea from writers knew what they were doing on this episode with the tear jerkers
You didn't already break down before that? By the time Kenny came back to town I couldn't see the screen through the tears anymore.
The thing that bothers me most and also the most consistent thing in the show besides the night monsters is the fact that nobody since the first episode shares any info with each other every time something happens to someone they either keep it a secret or something conveniently happens before they can say anything
It reminds me of the story Sarah tells in season 1 about broken glass and trying to figure out how it used to fit together but getting cut by the glass while doing so. They can't figure out how it fits together without getting together.
Thank you, im up crying. This episode was so sad. Thx for talking me thru it!🥺
Thank you for watching!
The worms give immortality and have healing properties to humans, but they're deadly to monsters. Victor has the worms.
Evidence:
Boyd's tremors stopped with worms
Martin survived without food and water for many years with worms. The only way for martin to die was to transfer the worms. He was being tortured by having immortality but being chained up.
Why does it matter? It explains two things: Victor survived alone for so many years. The monsters avoid victor.
Additional evidence:
Victor visibly reacted to boyd when he saw his worms. Victor always wear long sleeve shirts
I noticed that his tremor starts again:(
Do u think Julie and Randall were somehow infected with that illness too? I know they didn't come into physical contact with the virus or whatever it is but they were in that weird coma like sleep state where they were trapped in that dungeon and chained to the wall. They were sick too! They had cold sweats and fever or something if I remember correctly. They almost died too. Did they contract something too? That could explain why the monsters didn't finish Randall off. They slashed his face but they usually gut and hallow their victims out. It's like they slashed his face and for some reason didn't finish him off. That illness is fatal to them. So maybe they couldn't kill him. I don't understand why they would leave him alive. They slashed him good so he could still die! He could bleed out or die of an infection from the wound. So it seems pointless that they attacked him but didn't kill him.
I teared up when Boyd showed so much emotion saying look at me look at me smh I never had an actor do that to me ever
He's fantastic!
I’m hoping Tabitha and Victors Dad can make contact with fromville somehow to let them know she’s alive
Would be sorta cool, and sorta sad if the dad goes there with her. He could see his son possibly
I thought when the phone rang that it might’ve been Tabitha. 😢
As much as I'm loving From, I hope they wrap this up in 4 seasons. Mystery box shows are great, but they need to have definitive and relatively short time limits to be successful because (1) the audience can only go so long w/o catharsis before our curiosity turns into annoyance, turns into anger, and (2) the longer you make people wait, the higher the bar will be for what qualifies as a satisfying ending which puts a shit ton of pressure on the writers to deliver. And IDK about y'all but, though I'm enjoying this season so far, I'm already at the "if we don't get answer, imma be pissed" stage of thing.
Speak for yourself my guy
He is right though. Check out the anime, Attack Titan, and you will see why it is regarded as one of the greatest animes of all time in 4 seasons. We need more answers at least this season or the next season. Certain answers to mysteries need to be addressed.
@@Nigerian-born_American yea but let’s not rush it though, I think the audience we got to try and piece some of it together
I get you. I'm worried the conclusion won't answer any of the questions or make no sense. They create a LOT of questions
@nunyabusiness3516 they sure do 😅🤣
Fatima is giving Bella Cullen - I fear something is wrong with that baby 😗
There is no more question about it. She can't stomach food and now is only hungry for rotten food. Fatima is toast and that baby is some type of monster.
it defiantly screams "not human baby"
fatima is becoming one of them and give a evil baby
May e it’s a creature she’s growing. One creature was killed so they need to replenish their ranks.
The monsters look just like a human. When would they realize the baby is a monster?
One of my theories is the reason why they found the food in the forest is because they took “murdered” Mrs Lou. The town TAKES someone and the forest GIVES something.
Also Kenny is my boy too. I feel for him. I re watched the whole series before the season3 started and it’s crazy how young, innocent, goofy,scrawny they make Kenny look. With the police officer shirt being too big for him and his boy haircut. Character development is so good for some of these characters. Not all but some. 2 episodes in and I’m so much more invested then I thought I could ever be. Can’t wait till they capture one of them 😈
Yes. Kenny had just searched the area the day before and didn't find anything like the food OR the lake.
And that food doesn't grow in winter.
Cabbages don't grow and ripen in freezing weather.
The town is keeping hope alive.
I also think it's torturing Kenny.
I'm betting Krysti dies next and is replaced by the paramedic we saw in the trailer in the ambulance from the town where Tabby is.
The town keeps 47 people and certain positions like medic and farmer, bartender, etc.
@@jasoncaldwell5627oooh the number 47!
I think the Forrest gives something regardless if someone dies or not. It has to! Otherwise what's the point of the whole place?? It obviously wants them there for a reason so it has to provide them with what they need because it wants them there and it wants them alive. Yes people die but it definitely wants them alive for whatever reason. When Boyd first arrived they had no livestock and no talismans. He is the one who started going deep into the Forrest looking for resources. He asked the priest if anyone goes out there to look for food or whatever they can use and he said no. He said they only go in a little bit but nobody goes all the way in! So Boyd is the one who started finding livestock and more crops. Everything they need is out there. That place will continue to provide for them because it needs and wants them there ALIVE.
I think they’re also trying to break Jim too!
Yep, Jim is definitely next.
They’re tryna break everyone
I mean killing Kenny's mum just to play god damn 'celebrate'... yeah they are trying to break him too. That was cruel...
It’s like they work in breaking anyone who gives the town hope.
Yes!! I wonder if they are going to try and break Jim the same way the monsters tried to break Boyd.
just found this channel. every other 'recap and review' just recaps... they go through scene by scene and just narrate what happened. It's like, "I know... I watched it." There isn't any analysis or discussion as they just tell you what happened, and if one's lucky, they might give a 30 second "hey that was a good episode" at the end.
This was really well done. You provided insight as you break down the show in piecemeal fashion and raise a lot of questions, among other things. Bravo. This will be my go-to for From reviews.
Thank you so much. That means a lot 🙏🏿
I love the side glance/ awkward look Jade gave when he said that he used to play dress up….when he was a kid! That look suggested that he was thinking, “and by ‘kid,’ I mean last week!” 🤣🤣🤣

victor said he is tired of almost dying because mfs don't listen...when donna said the system is "rigged"...i said THANK YOU! Thats how yall gotta start thinking.
No one mentioned the door was locked for Fatima when she tried to go inside before eating the rotten veggies, she couldn’t get inside because of the talisman

Major troll 😅
18:45 deadass!! And the fact he let her and the boy go to the barn when it's getting dark is TERRRRRRRIBLE PARENTING
And let’s not forget about Victor’s sister. There’s the chance that she found her mom and her mom got her through the Far-Away tree before she died. Now she’s either still stuck somewhere around the light house or she somehow made it back like Tabitha, but didn’t make it back home to her father. Unless he’s been withholding that information, which wouldn’t make sense. She would’ve more than likely told him about what she had experienced. There’s the chance she could’ve repressed the memories, similar to how Victor repressed the memories of his sister, and gone mute upon coming back and now in an upcoming episode Tabitha and the dad are going to visit his daughter and will be shown the drawings and have her memories come back. I find it strange that he never says anything about his daughter being missing, he only brings up Victor being missing initially and only speaks about his daughter when he speaks about his family as a whole. Maybe the boy in white helped her back, but with her being young and dealing with the trauma of what was going on and seeing her mother die she repressed those memories and can’t recall what happened there.
EDIT: In the trailer there's in the dad's backyard there is a bottle tree, what if it was created by Miranda before leaving in hopes that it would connect to one around the town, because now we know she knew about them due to painting one. Or Eloise made it after she got back with similar hopes to her mom or its due to the major role it played in her making it back home. Plus i feel like they're going to have to talk about Eloise and Miranda, because Eloise isn't there anymore and Victor found is mom dead.
What if her body was there from being pushed out the tower window but she actually did make it back to reality.
Did Kenny and Boyd leave all that alcohol on the outside of the cave where the monsters are? If so I hope they don't use that against the town😮
I was thinking about that
They probably took it back with them.
@@Ready4Raw ya epically since their starving. alch is pretty useful other than using it for war.
@@zoaxiee they aren’t starving any longer - Jade and Kenny found a new source of food: healthy vegetable crops ready to be picked by that new lake where the old cabins were where they stayed overnight, they brought a bunch of the veggies back to the town with them that morning.
When Tabitha was proving to Victors father she wasn’t lying, notice how she knew everyone’s last name besides Donna. Donna is definitely either a mole or known adversary of the creatures, she’s From there in some capacity.
I thought it was weird too. She aslo seems like she doesnt want to go out of this place, rather build community in fromland...

Boyd's wife died a year and a half ago. That cop lady is a grown ass woman. So what? did Boyd's wife die and cone back an already full grown woman??? 😂 if she reincarnated she would be an infant right now not a grown woman who has lived a whole life long before Boyd's wife died.
This episode made me cry like a baby😢 All I ever want is for a show to make me feel something...bravo!
A redditor noticed the statues have the same forehead scars as the two ghost girls. Literally exact!
Yes, I saw that!
And Tabby had a head injury in the first episode and Jim had one after the house fell on him. It's a theme.
Or a brain implant.
The way Tian-Chen fed the whole town, she was basically everyone’s surrogate mom.
You are spot on Harold P is a fantastic actor. I really enjoyed his role as Dean in Claws too. I was just telling my husband that HP should’ve received an Emmy for FROM I just don’t get it either.
I held back tears until Kenny started calling out for his mom. That really got me.
I read a comment on another video on how Fatima struggled opening the door to get back into the colony house; maybe the talisman was making it harder for her to get in?
Harold's acting is soooo good. He definitely deserves way more recognition.
Really glad someone else noticed her leg. All of it is making me really think none of this about eating, it's about fear. She was tortured in front of Boyd in various ways and we say that in this episode. It's such a clean looking area and they used clawing alot in the really traumatic snippet. Ngl I was kinda hoping we wouldn't have to see it.
Read on another video, someones comment stated : "It's Carcosa, more closely, the Dreamlands from Lovecraft and Eldrich lore. Symbol is that of Artach Nach, evil spider god that links dimensions. The walkers are ghouls, and Hastur is the big bad controlling the entire realm."
After briefly reading into the names and ideas mentioned i definitely agree that it sounds like at least the basis for the core concept of whats taking place.
Maybe the king in yellow " hastur" is the painting of the guy in the yellow suit.
Hastur also had a son and a daughter.
And ive noticed theres alot of yellowed used in the show. Like ethan wearing a yellow jacket. (But that could just be me reaching bc i want to make that connection)

Victors mom told him to hide in a place where Christopher does not know about. I think Christopher was supposed to break the cycle by letting everyone die, but Victor survived. So the cycle was not reset. My biggest confirmation of this theory is the fact that the creatures are donning 50’s 60’s era attire
Who's Christopher?
@@agentchaos3947 i think hes referring to the boy in black
@@agentchaos3947 Christopher was the guy who drew the symbol that Jade keeps seeing. he drew it in a book over and over and became obsessed with it. Kennys' mum gave Jade the book from the storage at the dinner where past peoples stuff is.
Everytime someone leaves town farther out or unfamiliar territory they always find important things but end up coming home or back to chaos. Boyd with the talisman and now Kenny with his mom. I'm sure there are other examples
some people brought up how tien chan could've just said it in english however broken that may be. English is most definitely not her mother tongue and neither is it mine. it is very difficult to translate speech in that kind of situation. so unless you have been speaking english in a daily manor for years it is not possible i think.
Also Boyd reciting that all night just so he could memorize and convey this message that he could not understand just hit so hard. i almost cried on that one.
Maybe Tien didn't want the monsters to know what she was saying.
@@jasoncaldwell5627 they do speak fluent English 😆😆
Interesting that there's a birdcage in the basement, similar to one in the cave and a rocking horse that is lighter than the one in Megan's room.
I don't cry easily anymore with shows or movies but this got me. So many sad scenes. 😢 Ethan couldn’t accept she was dead and was going to put a blanket on her. Then the scene with Kenny calling out to her in denial I just can’t. Still feeling sad. I agree the town is messed up beyond belief for playing that song on the radio also thanks for the laughs. I think it’s not Thomas and that the town is messing with people like it always does
I agree the same way Boyd's wife came to him when he was about to destroy the box
Same here. I'm pretty unaffected by emotional drama but this one got me. Especially the scene outside the tunnel.
Yo .....I feel for Sarah 😂😂she messed up 1 time and now she gets 4-6 lines per episode and then shes out😂
Naw, Sarah got 2 ppl killed in the hospital, killed her brother, tried to kill Ethan, and Father Khatri died when he stayed with Boyd to talk about Sarah! lol She aiint redeemed herself yet!
@@brerobyes she has a long way to go, I wouldn’t blame the Fathers death on her though. Her death count is 4 people and almost Ethan.
@EJaramillo Yeah, she killed Jade's friend as well, but I am still giving her smoke because Father Khatri was only there with Boyd that night because of her actions, so I am still counting that one lol
Yeah I guess she did cause a lot of damage. I hope somehow she makes a comeback
@TamaraInTanzania2 She is gonna have to sacrifice herself to save somebody eventually. I don't think she is gonna make it. The writer's may have her atone for her mistakes beforehand so we can feel bad at her death. That is why they showed her helping Boyd, and Ethan and Julie.
Who knew they could pull off a tear-jerker episode. Great episode 10-10
Yea they screw kenny over and over they even had his girl's ex pull up like WTF
And he lost his job too 😭
He's remarkably well-adjusted considering everything he's lost.
My problem with theorycrafting is that this show hasn't shown that it's worth doing. The writers haven't shown that they're willing to commit to picking an answer and revealing it later. Genuinely, name ONE revelation we've seen on the show, 3 seasons in. I'll wait. Compare it to something like Lost, where they let the audience theorize about what's in the hatch -- then they reveal it to them.
Writing a good mystery box show requires the writers to do the hard work of asking a worthwhile question, then commit to giving the audience the answer. So far they haven't shown this commitment.
On one end, I keep thinking that’s sort of the point but on the other, this is exactly what happened to Game of Thrones and we were so underwhelmed by the ending.
Fatima and the rotten food is like in American Horror Story Delicate, Emma Robert's character was pregnant and she was eating a dead rotting cat. Also it's It's a jukebox not a radio. Years ago lots of restaurants had little jukeboxes in each booth and you could put in a quarter and play 3 songs of your choice. So you know the diner is pretty old. I haven't seen a jukebox in a booth since the 70s. So being a jukebox it would only have a certain number of songs and they wouldn't change until the man who collected the money from the boxes. So whoever has control of them has songs that probably came out pretty far from the original songs on it. "Celebration" came out in 80 and Lovettes "If I Had a Boat" in 87.
Idk if any of that means anything or is a clue of some sort.
If it's nothing at least you had a lesson on jukeboxes... Lol
It probably means nothing and won’t be addressed again like the rest of stuff dat ain’t been explained
I don’t think it’s Thomas. Since he was younger than Ethan and only 2 months old and I think he passed somewhat recently before the family’s trip. The voice on the phone seemed too old. At this point, I’m thinking it’s the town/monsters messing with Jim.
I agree because remember when they built the signal thing and once again some voice told him that his wife shouldn't be digging that hole
I think the town just harps on whatever will break the people and Jim has strong feelings about Thomas due to the conversation with his daughter, so it’s not an actual person on the phone anyway
Maybe it’s the boy in white… edit: it’s the boy in white pretending to be Thomas.
@@EJaramillosome think the boy in white is Thomas
@@mjl7437 I’m thinking not actually Thomas but it’s the person on the other end of the phone pretending to be Thomas.
I love how you do the recap in little sections followed by your commentary and reaction. This is so much better than others out there who do a full recap for 20+ mins before they even offer their reaction and commentary. Thank you so much!!! And I love how you say it as it is! Fatima is def having a demon baby! And you speak the emotions we all feel, like I was totally heartbroken for Boyd mourning for Tien Chen and when Kenny came back and found out I cried too! And I also had the same question, couldn't Boyd have just allowed the animals to wander off and then just look for them during the day when it was safe? Thank you for nailing all the points on the head!
Now , Thomas was not in my bingo card for this season . This season gets better and better. 😊
I have lots of animals. When we don't lock them up in the barn at night, we sometimes come across their eviscerated corpse in the morning. The animals are alpacas, and the entity that kills them is a mountain lion. Last night, I watched a bear attack the walls of the barn. It was repelled, probably because of the tallisman hanging inside. Er, wait... No, I yelled at him and he left.
Anyway, yes, that's something barns are good for. However, they don't explain what they feed these animals or where that feed comes from, which is probably a bigger plot issue.
Martin was cuffed there with other people that somehow were freed, when the cicadas got into Julie and the other two persons they were laying down in the actual town while they were also cuffed in that other dimension exactly how martin was, it also means when martin was cuffed there he might have been present in another dimension laying on his back with those creepy eyes exactly like how the others were
ROLLER COASTER ASS EPISODE.
Making me laugh with the goats eating Jade's string, choke up with Kenny's mom, laugh at "Celebration", scream "YESSSSSSSS TORCH THE TUNNELS" scream "NOOOOOOO, DON'T GO BACK TO TOWN" then "YESSSSSS, CAPTURE A MONSTER". Lol.
Next episode's gonna be hype.
This episode should have been called "Roller Coaster" because you're right! We were taken through all the feels!
I’m still dealing with the emotional damage of Mrs Liu’s death after a whole week.
Yeah that was a rough one
Listen to celebration while you're healing💀
In Jim's defense, it made sense to me when he saw his son upset and wanted to go look for his mother. I understood the guilt he may have felt by not at least trying to look for her. I get that if he wasn't going to do it, who was? People in town are afraid and don't venture off. I think if he didn't go look for her, or if he did, at least one of his kids would be upset. I like the arc the show took with his character and how it led to this new discovery. Great writing.
Also, YES, Harold Perrineau carries the show for me. He is incredible.
He said in an interview that the town doesn't like love. So maybe the music box seems like just another tool (or puppet) the town uses to manipulate emotions and schemes against the townspeople. Like the monsters are tools/ puppets also. So far, like LOST, I am just seeing information that points to an ultimately "dark force," which we have not seen revealed yet. And the boy in white clearly is the "white force for good."
I am going to take a guess that there will be a personified "evil dark character" that is eventually revealed . Maybe the Boy in white will tell us who this is ?
Great video thumbs up from me of course😊
@maetaylor5677 I'm going to have to disagree. Even tho they did end up finding food, what was he really going to find besides maybe a dead body? Where ever she was the only chance she had of coming back was on her own plus you leave your 2 children alone who are already pretty messed up how do you think they would cope with learning the news of losing both parents. Like his daughter said, get your $hit together he's a very big asset to his family and the town he can't afford to go on scavenger hunts for someone who is clearly dead or gone. (I'm saying this as if I'm in the town with them, and I don't have knowledge that his wife is still alive)
@@jackjohnson1932 of course but writers need to give some story to why these guys find the cabins..
@maetaylor5677 they could have just sent out Boyd again you know he couldn't wait to get back out there lol
@@jackjohnson1932 hahaha
*Notice to From writers*
Better Not kill off
1. Boyd
2. Jade
3. Kenny aft this episode
4. Donna
....it's not a game 😑
I’m with you on this! They better not!
Or Victor! He already suffered long enough.
Killing off Kenny makes no sense after killing his parents and driving a wedge between him and Kristi.
Jade will probably die and Donna
no probably Randall@@AndrejNikolov-xw2gi
That was a GREAT insight you had about the entity not wanting to necessarily break Boyd; that it is far more likely it will break Kenny. Kudos E-man - you are very perceptive and I love your lively commentary and thoughts!! :D
Thank you for watching!
THe place (FRomville town) is "everywhere but not reachable".
Not enough people know about this show!!!
Fatima tries to open the door to the colony house but the door doesn't open (39:56), then (40:32) the other girl easily opens it and walks in just before Fatima eats the rotten food.
Was Fatima being stopped by the talisman because she is turning into a monster or is her baby the monster?
😮
I caught this too. She is definitely turning into a monster
Hmm 🧐 I noticed her not being able to enter the house as well, but I didn’t catch that the other lady just went in…Fatima becoming a monster would also play into the monster that guy (forgot his name) keeps having whenever he falls asleep.
She also getting very sick living in that house 🤷🏾♀️
I think she was about to enter but the smell of the rotten food caught her attention
Great Episode and great review! This one had me in tears! When Kenny called for his mom and then the scene with him and Boyd! Still have some questions of course but looking forward to more episodes
Maaaaan, when the celebration song came on when Kenny was in the diner while grieving for Tien Chin was diabolical! You are correct - the town gets the PETTY ward of the year!! 😂
It is 8:45 am on Sunday, and I have cried 4 times...I'm sooo sad....I'm sooo mad....I'm scared....I'm worried....I'm all the emotions right now. Like I'm sooo mad at the makers of this movie for hurting me like this. My eyes are going to be swollen all day from crying so hard. Love this cruel show!!!
Definitely a demon baby 😢
Damn Im not looking forward to it but I cant look away either.
I can’t wait for next Sunday!!
Freaking THOMAS?!?!?!?!!??!!?!!!
They’re pulling no punches
It reminds me of that movie, The Black Phone, that has a similar premise of one of the characters being called by dead people.
It's diabolical. The town is definitely on demon time. No one is safe. Lead, supporting even the damn extra are about to get it. Lol
Who is Thomas is that a son of his that died???
@@kevinjay240yes!
Don’t know how often you get this but man I’m a huge fan of your reviews. Literally just found your channel but I appreciate the work you’re doing bro
Much appreciated! Thank you for watching!
i found it quiet interesting that Victor's mother had 2 kids, Victor and his sister Elouise, also Tabitha also have 2 kids, Julie Ethan. And both the mothers are seeing the 2 ghost kids, who are also a boy and a girl.
Why are the chosen ones always the ones with the kids ?
probably because they are already mothers, they would be more empathetic to children in need. they would see those 2 kids like their 2 kids and have a sympathy, they would hope someone would help their children if they needed it.
I have 3kids. I love all kids w my entire heart. Mothers weither the kids are theirs or not are going to try to protect all the kids. Now then ghost & moster kids? That’s where my blackness kicks in 😂😂😂😂fuqqqqkkkkk them‼️ 😂😂😂😂
That's definitely NOT Thomas.
Fatima with the rotten veggies.......listen, she has a zombie/monster baby in there.
It's a replacement for Smiley. Fatima didn't have symptoms until they killed Smiley (I don't think, anyway).
