Yeah i worry the magic is gone and the writers are in hell

 

It's a very fun show. Season 1 is the best, season 2 has a dip, season 3 has been mostly great aside from a side plot with some characters that I'm just fucking sick of lol

 

WHAT THE FUCK

lol that was a great finale

 

Seriously the most answers we've ever been given by a long shot, even with references to season 1

 

Yeah I feel I'm gonna need a rewatch of S1 moar definitely now.

Damn what a finale, so many (more) questions now!

 

Starting to think that Boy in White and Man in Yellow are kind of like... Dueling Gods in Fromville. Maybe the BiW was... More in charge in the beginning with a mini paradise for the people. The MiY, acting as a corrupt devil, influenced people to do something truly evil in exchange for immortality, giving him more control and power over Fromville. The BiW is doing his best to try and restore order

 

I like that theory.

Also how good was Harold this episode? Hell the entire season he's been phenomenal but this episode he really brought it.

 

Yeah, him, Donna and Victor are just always killing it in this show

 

Jade and even Victor's dad, too, tbh

 

Hell yeah Jades been my fav since the beginning. Such a character lol.

 

I can't possibly wait until 2026 for S4!!

 

Yeah this is exactly what I’m thinking. Sort of like a Jacob and Man in Black Lost situation. Man in Yellow is some sort of evil, demonic presence that manipulated the townspeople into this deal that would give them eternal life, but the deal came at the cost of their souls because they had to murder children to attain it. So they became these monsters instead of what they’d hoped for. The people who did not sign up for the figurative deal with the devil got caught up in the “spell” or “enchantment” or whatever that fell over the town and thus keep reincarnating and being drawn back to Fromville in an attempt to save themselves and the children who were sacrificed. People like Julie, Randall, and Marielle are given the ability to “Story Walk” in an attempt to alter the past (which is why we saw Future Julie trying to save Jim at the end there). My assumption is that the Boy in White is some sort of force for good trying to lead them to the conclusion that the only way to break the spell is to go back far enough in time to stop the deal with devil from ever happening in the first place.

Eion Bailey has signed on for season four to play Jim again so I’m fairly certain we’re going to start seeing Julie time hopping repeatedly in an attempt to save Jim. I’m already seeing some theories floating around that she could end up succeeding, only for the Man in Yellow to take over Jim’s body (ala The Man in Black and Locke on Lost) to mess with the people in town.

Overall I enjoyed the season as a whole - though I do kind of think Harold Perrineau’s statements at the start of the season had me expecting it to get even more violent and dark than it ultimately did. The mysteries I’m most interested in now going forward are “what are those supposedly giant things out in the woods making loud noises at night that no one has seen yet”, “what are the statues”, “are the supposedly giant things spiders and that’s why Boyd was caught up in all that webbing”, and “is that dummy really just a dummy and if so then why do we keep getting glimpses of it screaming if Victor is actually remembering Christopher conversing with the boy in white”, and also “is the Man in Yellow also the one who was calling Jim on the phone pretending to be his son?”

 

Man, what a show.

 

started watching this today, it's slow but the acting and directing are pretty strong. not sure I buy this concept supporting multiple seasons so far

 

this show's pretty good but Jim (both the character and actor) is genuinely insufferable to me. can't stand him

the priest is my favourite character so far, he's really interesting

 

What do you mean you don't like wish.com Matthew McConaughey

Lol you're definitely not alone on that

 

dude makes wood look lively lol

 

Hahaha, wish.com Matthew McConaughey. I’ve always looked at him as wish.com Paul Rudd. Maybe if the two of them had a child.

Jim has his…moments…but he does tend to be pretty insufferable in, like, nearly every choice he makes in response to anything his family is going through. They did manage to make me feel pretty bad for him by the very end of season three. Quite the pile on.

 

Omg Paul Rudd.

Ok so if Paul Rudd and Matt McConaughey had a baby and it was a wish.com baby........


VOILA

But yeah S3 was the only time I felt anything other than distaste for the character. It's not even that he has much character growth, it's that shit hits the fan and he's caught up in it.

 

Jim, Ethan and Tabitha are the worst imo

 

Tabitha so far is one of my favourites lol. maybe it's just because the bar is so low with how Jim treats his family but I like how she manages to make her kids feel better by playing a game, and that game is "let's dig a big hole in the basement to advance the plot"

also hit episode 7 and the way they did Father Khatri really got me. easily the best developed character especially after that fantastic monologue to Boyd and then he's just dead lmao. absolutely the most shocking moment so far, the massacre at Colony House was also pretty brutal

 

Tabitha's character is fine, I just can't get past the bad acting heh

 

have not had a problem with her acting so far, everyone except Jim (and Ethan but he is a child so whatever) is good in this cast

 

interesting that a lot of people don't seem to enjoy s2 as much, I thought the first 2 episodes were pretty strong. I love when this show goes hard on the horror

RIP Tom though, they're really killing all the most likable characters first lol

 

I think Jim acts fine, he's just written to be terribly unlikeable lol
