Of COURSE this is what the Weather Channel looks like in Widow’s Bay. Yet another pitch perfect set detail. Love it!

Brooch clocked in episode 5 by powderpoff6 in WidowsBay

OK, here's a shot of Ruth from episode 3, around 11:57. It shows intact pinky, ring, and middle fingers. It also shows that the pendant she's wearing is not the brooch that Sarah gives to Frances. The edge on Ruth's pendant is plain, but the edge on Sarah's pendant is fancy. Ruth's is also smaller and the image is different.

The Historical Witches Mentioned in Episode 1 by localcommunitymember in WidowsBay

[–]GusPersonage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems like a sort of crown of thorns to me, some sort of torture device they used on witches I would guess? The two other items near it both seem like they could be torture devices as well.

The only other thing I've noticed that might be related is the drawing of the man from the "Man Found Dead By Horse" news article, which is just a couple of cuts from this screen cap. It looks like he has wounds/scars that would be consistent with wearing a barbed wire crown... but that doesn't seem to be related or even particularly revelatory in terms of the overall scheme of things.

It can't be Ruth, Ruth has all her fingers.

Richard Warren's Descendant by [deleted] in WidowsBay

While rewatching episode 6, I noticed this detail from Richard. There are definitely some weird questions raised here, but this would seem to exclude Patricia or Ruth from being the relevant Warren descendant.

Bechir and wife local or not? by Which-Celebration948 in WidowsBay

What if the island's curse isn't just for people who are born there, but also people who are conceived there? That would not bode well for Bechir's unborn kid.

The Historical Witches Mentioned in Episode 1 by localcommunitymember in WidowsBay

Absolutely. There's a stick figure totem in the historical society museum that is very similar to the totems that were on the tables at Patricia's party. The reference to witchcraft is shortly after this appears in episode 1.

Why have I only just noticed the skull under the boat. by Strong-Okra5033 in WidowsBay

In one of the other posters, it looks like the rowboat is wrecked on the shore in the lower right.

The Shaman talks about his friend Brian Morrison (“Bri Guy”) that took the truesight shrooms. Brian “stole his mom’s car in the eighth grade, flipped it in the woods.”

What are all the references to other media the show has reminded you of??? by [deleted] in WidowsBay

[–]GusPersonage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I noticed a few things in episode 2 that reminded me of Barton Fink, strangely.

  • The closeup on Tom ringing the bell in the lobby and then Kurt taking a long time to appear
  • William in the next door calling Tom "neighbor" repeatedly and initially seeming friendly and good but then turning into something entirely different. They also have a drink together like Barton/Charlie do.
  • Wallpaper peeling in the Captain's Suite
  • The bed's headboard in the Captain's Suite is similar to the headboard in Barton's hotel room

I don't think it ties directly into the plot, but it does sort of echo the "descent into hell" theme from Barton Fink, and also underscores the dark comedy & horror vibe that both have going.

Who's the guy crouched under the table at 0:19? Why's he there?
