im not sure bout him showing, so far it doesnt make sense to me, but well see.

Also im having so much fun with how much everyone hates Foster here. Kinda think this is Jodie´s best performance in a long while. She is clearly having a blast.

Are they even easter eggs at this point?
Exactly my point.

That sound that came from that frozen guy reminded me of the sound that guy made that was still alive in the movie Se7en

Sure.


Any thoughts on the ruptured eardrum bit? Like maybe they were lifted into the air?

Is the “she” in “she’s awake” referring to the micro-organism they’ve been trying to harvest? I didn’t bother to pause while Danvers is looking through that notebook but seems like that’s where this is pointing. Could they all be infected and suffering mass hallucinations?

The tone may be way different than S1 but this is super entertaining stuff. Outstanding.

I'm loving this, though probably would enjoy it no matter what; the overarching setting/story (isolated town, missing scientists at a research facility, supernatural leanings) is pretty much exactly up my alley.

Interesting that Annie K had the spiral tattoo on her back, like Dora Lange in S1.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Was reading Reddit and some are speculating that Raymond Clark didn't kill Annie K. In fact, they believe he was attempting to bring her back to life via the science and voodoo. Interesting.
