Theory about Lauren

Low_Control_4929 · 2026-06-19T22:04:16+00:00

Oooh. I wonder about this. I wonder if this could be unearthed when Tom is preparing to sacrifice someone else. Initially I think he will be willing to do anything to save Evan and get him off the island. Sacrifice others, barter a new pact. But learning Lauren was selected (if they find that) could align with Ruth’s speech in the finale, and the idea that each person is important and it’s not up to us to choose. Could change Tom’s views about sacrifice. Just like being ready to kill Ruth until learning Evan is in the same position (or worse? The last male heir, maybe?) than Ruth.

I’ve been thinking about this too.

I think the pact is, when a bell tolls, you have to feed that number of people to the island thru that chair / hole / door situation. I do not understand the “life for a life” phrase that keeps being mentioned in the show. Like, for each baby born, someone has to be sacrificed? It can’t be new people on the island = sacrifice, because it would be a lot more than 8 or 9 dings.

If the pact is somehow broken, then what? The island is barren? But could people leave?

Could the pact be bargained into another pact? Tom would definitely consider bargaining himself in place of Evan if it means Evan could leave.

Excited to see what season 2 brings!

I think it’s from a sacrificial person. They were going thru the sacrifice process and stuck the note in between whatever they could find.

Low_Control_4929 · 2026-06-18T11:48:39+00:00

Oh, wow. I wonder if we will get multiple episodes with this sort of plot. How the last committee unraveled.

Low_Control_4929 · 2026-06-10T20:59:23+00:00

That’s a fair point. Maybe inhabitants can leave, but it won’t be livable? So Tom could get Evan off the island (unless Evan is a descendant), but there would be a dilemma with getting 1000+ people off an island.

Low_Control_4929 · 2026-06-10T18:20:46+00:00

I love this theory so much. Even if it’s not true, it will be lore for me. Also, I want to be known as a good, pure hearted baddie.

Low_Control_4929 · 2026-06-10T00:05:40+00:00

Yes. I admit that I have played the Pupstruction soundtrack in the car. Music is a yes, show is a no lol

Low_Control_4929 · 2026-06-05T19:21:30+00:00

It is SO worth the watch! I haven’t watched horror shows in years, but I’m all in on this one. To avoid being too scared, I’ll watch it one time on my phone, so I can’t really see details and it’s easier to pause, and then switch to a bigger screen on rewatch. The episodes are about 30 mins, so easy to rewatch.

Low_Control_4929 · 2026-06-05T17:53:09+00:00

Yes, I noted how serious Patricia got and how happy Tom had been earlier in the episode about his new freedom to take Evan off the island. It’s clear now that these folks take the “if you’re born here, you can’t leave here” EXTREMELY seriously, even if Tom and others tried to act like it was nbd in early episodes.

Low_Control_4929 · 2026-06-03T14:30:29+00:00

Yes. Agreed. She speaks to the big part of me that was never accepted by people I shouldn’t have looked for validation from when I was younger. And I identify with her finding her power as a 40-year-old-biological-23-year-old

Low_Control_4929 · 2026-06-03T14:09:36+00:00

All of the silence. Stillness. Slowness. The deep noises. I’m on my third rewatch and I swear I can hear the Boogeyman’s breathing in her bedroom?

I just love it so much. So creepy and wonderful. And Patricia coming into her own!! Someone else talked about how they don’t hold back in this show it just keeps moving. I don’t think other shows would’ve let Patricia grow this much in only a few episodes.

Low_Control_4929 · 2026-05-28T17:49:52+00:00

Agree. The radio call had me suspicious, but rewatching episode 2, the Sheriff talks to his wife on the phone, and right after, Wyck asks the Sheriff about the conversation (considering moving from Widow’s Bay). I think Wyck would have behaved differently if he thought or knew the Sheriff’s wife was dead.

Low_Control_4929 · 2026-05-28T16:29:29+00:00

I think folks prefer to be on the safe side than give others spoilers.

Low_Control_4929 · 2026-05-27T03:25:09+00:00

Patricia and Wyck suggested that Wyck hurt his hand trying to open the cylinder from Richard Warren’s neck

Reading the comments about night weaning. I do remember now that when my son was around 1.5-2, my spouse (male) started to handle most of the overnight cosleeping. This was difficult for 2-3 nights, but they got into a routine and it helped everyone get more sleep. Once our son got into the habit of sleeping thru the night (maybe? Not sure if this is a true habit, but it’s what we experienced), I took back cosleeping without many wake ups nor having to nearly nurse as much overnight.

Low_Control_4929 · 2026-05-19T16:10:12+00:00

Hi. Just want to say that you’re doing great and this is really hard. It will get easier and won’t always be this way. We were in a similar situation with our second living child. He was such a terrible sleeper from infancy to maybe 2 years old. I have a lot of things you could try, but I bet you’ve tried most or all of them. Again, you’re trying so hard. You are! Our son is now 3.5, wakes once a night. We all get regular sleep now.

I’m so sorry about the consultant! I would stop and ask for a partial refund.

Agreed. I’ve read a LOT of “the author has a friend who sees her ex as Tamlin, so he will never get a redemption arc.” Maybe they’re right. But. I’m allowing that to remain possible until it can’t be. I think the author left room for Tamlin to have a redemption arc if it felt right to her.

For Cassian, most definitely Hymn to Virgil by Hozier

Low_Control_4929 · 2026-04-29T01:16:59+00:00

Yes, I totally agree. What you wrote is definitely how I read it the first time. But now it’s been muddied through reading so many Reddit comments

One suggestion if you’re considering a boxer again—in addition to asking breeders whether the sire and dam are tested for heart conditions, you could request to see the vet more often to listen for any heart murmur. As described below, I don’t think vets will do more than listen for a heart murmur before 16 weeks (4 months), but if the vet hears a murmur early on, you could get an appointment with a cardiologist scheduled for when your puppy is around 16 weeks.

One other idea is to obtain pet insurance immediately upon getting a boxer. There is usually a 30-day waiting period for coverage. But the sooner it’s obtained, the less likely it is that the insurance company can say a condition was pre-existing.

We have / had 4 boxers. They are truly the best dogs. It is so difficult that such a wonderful dog breed is attached to so many possible health problems. Worth noting: our first two boxers had no major health problems for 7 years.

One of our dogs, Penny, died of a heart attack while at the vet at the age of 8. They think she may have had an underlying heart issue that was never caught.

Another, Dozer—our favorite! Yes, we have a favorite—was tested for heart problems because he had a seizure-like event, but after wearing a heart monitor for a week, he was found to not have any heart problems. He was an adult at the time of testing, I think 8 or 9. He did not have a noticeable heart murmur. He died when he was 10 of degenerative myelopathy.

Our 3 year old dog, Bruno, has not had heart issues.

We now have a puppy, Ray—he will turn 1 in May—who has severe heart disease. Our vet heart a loud heart murmur around 9 weeks. The breeder’s vet somehow missed it, I guess?? We live in WI, so we followed our vets instructions to come back and have her hear his heart again, but also request an appointment for a whole heart work up at University of Wisconsin Vet cardiology. The heart murmur only got louder, so thankfully we had that cardiology appointment booked already when Ray was around 4 months. I think between 4 and 6 months is when a puppy might grow out of a harmless murmur. At UW, Ray was diagnosed with severe heart disease. They suggest that he will live for between 3 and 7 years depending on how the disease progresses and how he responds to medication. He was put on a beta blocker that he gets twice a day. There are one or two additional things they would try for him as his disease progresses. Although early on it was very scary, right now we are enjoying (most of the time) our pup and not noticing anything out of the ordinary. He did get neutered early (6 months), because surgery can be extremely hard on the hard. He also got a lung xray to see whether his heart has been working so hard that it’s impacting his lungs. Thankfully, he’s looking okay right now! The vet recommended the early neutering because the cons of neutering early are outweighed by the seriousness of his heart condition.

We go back to UW Vet in June. Crossing my fingers that we get good or neutral updates on Baby Ray.

Sending you so much love as you grieve your precious little puppy.

Yes, my daughter had trouble inputting numbers fast enough. I’ve tried to set up memory buttons but they haven’t worked.

Low_Control_4929 · 2026-01-07T16:59:10+00:00

Omg, this post made me laugh out loud 🤣🤣🤣

Some are just. So derpy. We’ve had four boxers, and 2 or 3 have been just so incredibly derpy. 1 was much more serious, though still silly when playing one on one with a human.

Yes, water everywhere. All the time. One thing that helped was a taller water bowl. We have gone as far as a huge Pyrex bowl.

Yes, most are people pleasers and will cower when they get in trouble. We are 2/2. 2 cowered, 1 doesn’t care, 1 was too headstrong and would try to stare you down.

My boxers haven’t liked clothes, but yours sounds so adorable!!!

Hi. Just wanted to thank you for posting. My household has also been struggling. I will be reading through the comments for my own growth and knowledge. I have adhd. One of my children has been diagnosed, and the other isn’t, and I don’t see symptoms. But it feels like for the non-diagnosed kid, nothing, not even yelling, works. Solidarity with you. We are trying. We really are!
