Is that all you got from the show? No ideas, no concepts, no solutions and mysteries, just a 20h lecture by a blue haired SJW? You need to check yourself man.
It really wasn't. Unless you're being ironic and making fun of everything that was poorly done as somehow woke. Nothing could have saved the show except for replacing the majority of the cast with better actors and writers with anyone with some sense.
The wokeness is super sublte.
The white male characters are all ineffectual or unhinged, meanwhile the black characters are all level headed and look at the foolish white characters like "das right."
The 50's era 95% white townspeople monsters are all spooky and shit, like that era is supposed to be corny and creepy.
>boyd! i just came back from the outside wor- >hold on right there, tabitha. we can talk about that later. >wha...huh.. >we need to get to colony house for a meeting about the food shortage.
I just binged the first 2 seasons in 2 days. Cool plot, but what the frick was that Season 2. Was probably 3 episodes worth of plot and 7 episodes of soap opera. I'm not even one of the people complaining about lack of answers. Frick it, stuff the show with a million schizo mysteries but for the love of God advance the plot please.
There was a moment, a SINGLE moment where it seemed like Boyd was actually gona use his brain. When he asked his ghost wife if the evil creature just allowed her to show up for a chat. I was happy that he actually used a bit of critical thinking and realized that it probably wasnt really her. That it was the evil creature trying to prevent him from smashing the box. But then he sat there another few minutes and listened to her rant about hope and suffering and blah blah blah.
I liked it, the show has a lot of interesting personal stories as well as the overall mystery with its many facets. The thing about complex, hard problems is that they're interesting, it's self-evident that questions are often more interesting than answers.
It appears that the overarching theme of the series is trying to introduce people to this idea about reality, that everything is somehow connected and the lives of many have a deep meaning, even though they're chaotic and filled with tragedy. Kenny's dad had a saying that the 'thread doesn't see itself as a sweater' or something to that effect and it reminded me of a Peter Hitchens quote (re life and God): >We're looking at the tapestry from the other side. >What we do here matters somewhere else.
Same with the trolley problem. The actual problem is about sacrificing someone else to save others. The problem is about the moral right or the moral obligation to kill or let die. Expansions of the problem include pushing the fat man on the tracks instead of just making a switch. Other versions are rephrased as killing someone so their organs can be harvested to help others. The problem is further complicated by repeated choices and not knowing the types of choices on the track ahead. This means that by trying to maximize utility or consequence you could end up with the least favorable outcome.
The show Fate Zero basically addresses some of this. I have no clue what the writers of From intended, but any interpretation would be convoluted and misses the point. Maybe it was originally written for the guy with the shotgun but they decided to give it to Jade at the last moment, who knows.
Well i think the guy saying it mentions in s1 that he was a philosphy professor in the real world or some shit. But i also think it was all just in Jade's head and he's been nerfed into a babbling schizo so it makes sense that he would be misinterpreting things

But if he's a philosophy professor you would expect him to apply it correctly instead of just randomly throwing in references and being stupid. What is it with writers and actors that try to write and act smart but always end up seeming foolish.

I believe the whole conversation was in Jade's mind. If I recall, Jade was the one that Tom told that he was a professor. So Jades mind made up that whole convo and threw in some generic philosophy language to make it seem more authentic. And Jade is so brain-fricked at this point that he cant even interpret their meanings correctly. This is all assuming the writers were smart enough to go that in-depth with his mentle state

Agreed. They went balls-deep on a radio that even if it had worked and they communicated with the outside world, theres no guarantee the outside world would figure out a way to find them. They could have spent their time and energy working on traps, killing or capturing the ghouls, torturing/interrogating them for info, interrogating Victor, studying the talismans, mapping the edge of "the loop", building large formidable structures, collecting and organizing every scrap of data about the place and all the people who arrive. But NOPE they all act like fricking dumbos
I don’t understand. Why don’t they just talk to each other? Why are they worried about sounding crazy when half the town is experiencing supernatural shit? Why don’t they tie Victor to a chair and make him answer some questions? Is Tabitha literally moronic?
>season 3 >they corner Victor again >"well there's this one other magic tree that makes go back in time and it makes you fix all this before it even started, but I don't know if we should be using it" >"I also don't remember where that tree is, oh wait nevermind actually I do. it's right here"
Everyone who ends up in the town is there for a reason and the reason is because their fate is tied to it.You don't randomly end up there, even if it seemingly appears that way.
All of them are going to use some sort of teleportation (by tree or lighthouse or otherwise) to end up in the past of the town, where they will be instrumental in all the crazy shit that happened. Then their present selves got pulled in to close the loop.
That's why Tabitha's bracelet is worn by Victor's mom.
Someone also said that the voice Jim heard on the radio was also Jim. That's how the voice knew what was going on, to that Jim all those events already happened.
I don't know, I think you would notice even a decade. Maybe 5 years but then what is the point? Victor's mom was in like the 70s and Julie is clearly a zoomer. If there is time travel then it's selective, rather than wide spread. Did the hospital Tabitha ended up in look modern?
I'm just saying that there's kind of a weird lack of sharing information about the outside world.
They all kinda figured they got sucked into the town, but they barely, if ever, talk about their previous life. And they never really touched any information about the outside world that would define what year it is/was. Maybe on purpose?
The point would be that the town CAN suck people in from different time periods if it wants to, which might be a future plot point.
Yes but what is weird is that they talk about everything except what is important, invent problems and antagonism that keeps them from talking for no reason. Never mind, Tabitha woke up in a modern hospital I don't know about the bracelet but clearly they didn't share time periods, either in or out of the town. Victor's family arrived decades earlier, and Tabitha's family is from modern day.
There could still be a discrepancy of years or even roughly a decade
It seems implied that the lesbians' timelines were in sync? Like the amount of time Doctor Lesbian was in From town matched with how long her lesbian lover said she was gone. Maybe that is just because they are personally connected though I guess
So it's kind of same as LOST where two entities (or maybe just one idk) have populated a special location with "random" people to test them and play games.
The bad side knows the rules but is also attempting to corrupt and sway the players into doing wrong things or solving the games the wrong way, and the good side is attempting to steer them in the right direction, but in a totally vague way.
In LOST Jacob's only play is to bring people to the island and then be hands off, and it was MiB who tested them and created problems.
Seems kind of similar here.
Who wants to bet how many episodes before anyone but Jim and Victor know that Tabitha went to the lighthouse? And then how many episodes before Boyd says he's seen the lighthouse.
>We don't have to trust each other >We don't even have to like each other
This really stood out to me. Does Jim not trust or like Boyd? I feel like that implication might be why Boyd ignored him.
Would you trust Boyd? He's a total incompetent that lies and hides things from people, while giving crazy orders that he doesn't explain. And that's before he was hallucinating constantly.
Yeah I would trust him. >He's a total incompetent that lies and hides things from people, while giving crazy orders that he doesn't explain.
I disagree with all of this. He's the most competent person there.
The only misstep was he should've explained that he couldn't put Sara in the box to the asian family instead of hiding it because they were bound to find out. Maybe he could've come up with some other punishment as a and banished her to the outskirts as a compromise. But I don't think this even happened until after that scene if I remember correctly.
You can make fun of the lack of communication all you want, but that's how it is in real life. In most cases people either communicate poorly, and that includes just simple sharing, or not at all. People, family, friends IRL have a lot going on, they don't know how to process many events and just keep stuff in.
This is not a military operation where a platoon is deployed in unknown territory and it has 100% horizontal and vertical comms at all times. There's no structure, there's no hierarchy, there's no unifying mission where everyone is on the same page. It's a bunch of random families, all strangers, who have no reason to trust eachother, and the only "law enforcement" is one man with an assistant who's half in half out, and they both have too much on their plate. That's all the order you have, him and Donna for 50 people. Furthermore, there is another barrier in the way of freeflowing information and collaboration - the events that occur are not only traumatizing, but they defy reason. If you compound impossibility with trauma you have a twofold problem in the way of communication that is not easily solved. Imagine having to give birth to something that's emotionally and psychologically painful, but if you did that it will tear a piece of you in the process, but you still have to mentally and verbally "give birth to it" at some point, and thus "advance the plot". Updating the others that you were infested in a tower that doesn't exist by an immortal prisoner can be harder than you think. Those are some rough stories if you really stop and think about it. You don't realize the level of torture that these people have already went through, the fact that they're not all sat shivering in the corner unable to do anything is already unbelievable.
I know it's horror but the Overton window of desensitiziation may have shifted or something. That, and maybe I empathize with them.
Yes, and his experience in setting up FOBs while under threat/attack in in the middle east, solving logistical nightmares gives him an advantage in this situation, Boyd's character wasn't a random grunt. He has a clear mission to get everybody home, but the other 50 people don't share that background obviously. (~50 people is in the range of a platoon size mind you, maybe that's not an accident)
I mean Boyd should be able to train them to communicate effectively at least, but clearly something went wrong between the town and the hedonism house people so who knows.
Communication is paramount I agree, but there is no hierarchy or chain of command to speak of, they don't feel obligated nor compelled to report to him, and that's how it would feel and they wouldn't like that. I'm pretty sure I've heard Boyd say on a number of occasions "if anything happens, you come to me", but maintaining that face to face link takes time and work, and I don't know how much time he can spend on that, given the fact that he seems to do most of the heavy lifting. Everyone has downtime and you can see them sitting around, not that they're having fun, but not Boyd, he's always going around taking care of business. Only so much you can do.
I think there kind of is a hierarchy even if they don't make it official
I guess you don't have fire teams under specific squad leaders and that's an issue

Donna technically has like lets say 2-3 squads under her, and is busy trying to grow food so idk. The only squad I can think of is Jim's family but there's not a lot of traffic between Jim and Boyd, nor a lot of cohesion in the "squad" itself. The mother is not even there anymore, Ethan is distant and goes off with Victor, and Julie was sent to Hell for a few days, she's gonna feel that tomorrow, I mean remember the sheer terror in her screaming? I was going to post a screenshot but nope, that's scary shit. This place is actively trying to destroy them in any way it can. Physically, psychologically, assaults on all fronts, just full blown paranormal, demonic 7th gen warfare. No hierarchy is going to function optimally in a place like this, not even clse.
The takeaway is to learn how to be a great communicator and not let relationships deteriorate in your own life that it leads to a worsening of everybody's situation. But as far as the show is concerned, that goes back to the trauma and insanity, that will make you shut down and close off no matter who you are, only a matter of time.
Yeah, we can talk about that, but ... there's a meeting at the colony house about what kind of wedding party we're going to have so look man ... I gotta go.
If Donna went to the lighthouse instead of Tabitha and got kicked out of the window and appeared in the real world she'd still be at the town 5 seconds later telling people to stop messing around and fold some laundry.
I'm guessing half of next season will be Tabitha trying to get back into the town by driving across random roads and meeting a magical hobo that promises to take her there (but at a price).
The village bs will be Jim and the kids going loopy since she's gone and trying to get into the lighthouse.
The "problem" of the season will be that it's getting cold and there's no food.
Then Tabitha finally gets back to the town but she's in the town except 50 years in the past, oh no!
I’m invested now so it’s whatever, I’ll watch s3 if there ever is one. But this is like the gay moronic cousin of LOST. And it goes to show that writers suck across the board and don’t deserve the extra money they’re crying about.
This kind of format/approach to a mystery show has always been a thing.
Twin Peaks, Carnivale, LOST, Castle Rock, etc...
Basically just have an assortment of characters roam around and randomly stumble onto each other, form brief pairings then decouple and meet up with someone else. It allows the writers to write characters that are perpetually confused, incomplete, questing but never actually finishing anything. Just keep them roaming and confused forever.
Any answers they might find are temporary ones and overshadowed by larger ones that can never truly be figured out.
But most importantly, have them continuously be on the back footing and out of their depth.
good thing I skipped the threads
woke garbage
Is that all you got from the show? No ideas, no concepts, no solutions and mysteries, just a 20h lecture by a blue haired SJW? You need to check yourself man.
Check yourself before you wreck yourself
>Le woke
>Le troony
Unironically, which From character is trans? Victoria? I'm really wondering what you are getting at.
Sarah
I mean, she turned into miss piggy this season, but I don't see how she's trans.
It really wasn't. Unless you're being ironic and making fun of everything that was poorly done as somehow woke. Nothing could have saved the show except for replacing the majority of the cast with better actors and writers with anyone with some sense.

This. The entire season couldve been done in one episode
>Was probably 3 episodes worth of plot and 7 episodes of soap opera
yes the pacing i bad and there is lots of filler
I just skip ahead when a scene is obviously filler. Like black son and black women talking, or lesbians talking

that must be it
None of it was applied correctly though. I would fail them all.
Exactly. Using chaos theory to say that that angkhooie kids and the symbol are connected is fricking dumb.

Tabitha should've tripped up that white kid and sent him flying through the lighthouse window instead.
It's some sort of magic time loop.
Everyone who ends up in the town is there for a reason and the reason is because their fate is tied to it.You don't randomly end up there, even if it seemingly appears that way.
All of them are going to use some sort of teleportation (by tree or lighthouse or otherwise) to end up in the past of the town, where they will be instrumental in all the crazy shit that happened. Then their present selves got pulled in to close the loop.

It's fairies, always has been.
The voice didn't sound like Jim at all. In fact, the voice is the same voice from the phone call in Kenny's dream. It's clearly the wizard
It's a 90 year old wizard Jim.
That would actually be fricking awesome
>nobody has yet confirmed or asked any other resident of the town if they came from the same year
The uh, cars, and the clothes, no?
There could still be a discrepancy of years or even roughly a decade
I don't know, I think you would notice even a decade. Maybe 5 years but then what is the point? Victor's mom was in like the 70s and Julie is clearly a zoomer. If there is time travel then it's selective, rather than wide spread. Did the hospital Tabitha ended up in look modern?
I'm just saying that there's kind of a weird lack of sharing information about the outside world.

I don't give a shit what anyone says, the finale was acting perfection. Jade and Boyd really stole the show.

Isn't Boyd ex-military?
Yes, and his experience in setting up FOBs while under threat/attack in in the middle east, solving logistical nightmares gives him an advantage in this situation, Boyd's character wasn't a random grunt. He has a clear mission to get everybody home, but the other 50 people don't share that background obviously. (~50 people is in the range of a platoon size mind you, maybe that's not an accident)
Having said that, I don't think it was stated that he was ever a platoon leader.
I mean Boyd should be able to train them to communicate effectively at least, but clearly something went wrong between the town and the hedonism house people so who knows.

this show pissed me off
might read the season 3 synopsis
I just want Boyd to go full moron and turn that torch into a sword and start smashing everything with just to see what happens.
So two more seasons.
I'm guessing half of next season will be Tabitha trying to get back into the town by driving across random roads and meeting a magical hobo that promises to take her there (but at a price).
The village bs will be Jim and the kids going loopy since she's gone and trying to get into the lighthouse.
The "problem" of the season will be that it's getting cold and there's no food.
Then Tabitha finally gets back to the town but she's in the town except 50 years in the past, oh no!

Basically just have an assortment of characters roam around and randomly stumble onto each other, form brief pairings then decouple and meet up with someone else. It allows the writers to write characters that are perpetually confused, incomplete, questing but never actually finishing anything. Just keep them roaming and confused forever.
Any answers they might find are temporary ones and overshadowed by larger ones that can never truly be figured out.
But most importantly, have them continuously be on the back footing and out of their depth.
Watched it all so far but far too many scenes where the show becomes a terribly acted soap opera
