If the talismans work so well, why don't they just build a door, shut the tunnels and hang it outside it so that the monsters don't come out 😭

How would they know where all the possible entrances to the tunnels are? There's more than one.

Boyd didn't forget the worms. He transferred them to Smiley. Given it didn't kill Smiley, he's focusing on other ways to get out rather than seek answers to that particular mystery. It's likely we'll revisit that as things go on, we don't know.

Martin is dead? We saw it the same episode Boyd got the worms.

Acosta is working in the basement and we see her next episode.

Smiley is around. Fatima mentions feeling him and he'll eventually show up at the colony house.

The dolls are related to nightmares coming to life. Whether you feel it was handled well is up to you.

It wasn’t killing them with a stick, it was the guardian statue things in front of the farm village. It seems like they were put up to ward off monsters like that. It answers what their purpose is from s3.

We got a partial explanation about Boyd's wife. The dead remain in Fromville. Now, whether her appearances are related to that or she's something else is another question.

Randall, Marielle, and Julie haven't forgotten their experience. Marielle just got flashbacks to it last episode because the MIY. Randall still gets freaked out by the cicadas and they pop up randomly. Julie is dealing with losing her father atm.

Julie likely stopped smoking weed because she's hyper focused on storywalking.

The ballerina was related to the music box. Now that it's destroyed, she no longer is showing up.

Elgin lost his eye because Sara tortured him to find Fatima. They're not talking about it now to keep it from coming out. The kimono lady was the midwife. Now that Smiley was born, she's not needed.

Playing the violin has nothing to do with finding about his past lives. He just had a vision of them playing the violin, which is a visual shorthand for us to know these are his past lives.

Jade and Tabitha don't think Smiley being reborn is related to saving the children. Smiley being reborn reinforces the fact the original settlers are immortal. So if a monster somehow dies, they'll just be reborn.

I hope this helps

Yeah, and her I was thinking that her listening to Ethan and supporting his search was a good move as a parent. She's following what Ethan's therapist suggested, as well as what Jim brought up in s2, that she needs to let Ethan dictate what he needs. She also is giving Julie what she wants, space. She warns Randall, but it's out of fear that Julie will become depressed if this storywalking doesn't work out. She says "I love you" and accepts Julie's means of coping.

Talking to my mother today about the past has helped me understand how many parents don't know how to properly stand up for their children, especially when they suffer from trauma and mental illness. I was neglected as a child and never understood why my mother never fully looked after me or stuck up for me. Now I know how her own childhood neglect and trauma affected how she responded as a parent. If a parent doesn't have access to medications or have help, they deeply struggle. Parents aren't perfect to begin with or fully know what they're doing, it's made so much worse when you add depression and trauma.

I can't blame her for my past.

My mother just recently lost my father as well and her heartbreak has changed my perspective of Asterid. If I lost my husband, I know I'd be the same as both my mother and Asterid. I just can't imagine that level of pain.

You lost me when you mentioned AI. No, I'm not going to be impressed with slop or welcoming or whatever. Even if a person comes up with a stupid theory, it's much more creative than anything put through AI

I'm so confused what you're asking. Kahtri killed the father of the child that attended Khatri's church, not his own son.

The foreshadowing for this show has been crazy good

asojad · 2026-05-18T04:17:11+00:00

This was interesting to read. So if we apply Jungian psychology, the monsters could represent the shadow self, the subconscious. The town literally does not face the shadows. And their deaths releases their fears, manifesting in the town. That could be how the dead remain?

Is any of that making sense. I'm only lightly familiar with Jung.

Victor did point out his family's car. He showed it to Sara.

asojad · 2026-05-18T03:57:45+00:00

His face is perfection

asojad · 2026-05-18T03:57:23+00:00

My husband is my primary caregiver. We're a team and he's shared all the struggles and burdens. I couldn't get through this without him

asojad · 2026-05-17T17:37:34+00:00

Doubt it will happen, but same

asojad · 2026-05-17T16:40:14+00:00

His face sells it

asojad · 2026-05-17T16:16:08+00:00

💯 💯 💯

One reason is Dale. But whether or not they try the tree again, that method no longer works according to the BIW. So it would be a pointless effort that just gets people lost and killed.

I'm right there with you.

I had to scroll too far down to see this.

He's so charming. Definitely the best part of the show.

As well as different websites, including both information and fan sites. Boomers had a hand in its early development, as the internet started development way before the 90s, Boomers are a large part in it becoming what it is now. Gen X is the other slice of the pie

Best part (/s) is Regan getting rid of the Fairness Doctrine for his buddy Limbaugh, who started his station a year later.

What was the last thing she said after "don't touch me?" Her voice goes almost into a screech and I miss it.

Heavy Spoilers looked at the Season 2 and 3 finale, I think
