    Okay but why is no one talking about the connection to episode #5, "Thrown Away." Remember how when they found the garbage bag full of teeth, it was said they were somehow all the same exact tooth? What if they were being pulled over and over from the same person, only to regrow instantly like in this episode with the fingers?

    Kinda the worst thing, or even the most relatable thing, about this episode is the idea of not being disgusted that you accidentally ate human meat but rather annoyed that you didn't know which meal you ate it in. That would definitely get me more than the idea of being a cannibal... but maybe that's just me haha

    We know that supernatural things make the static louder, like when sasha's double talks, but has anyone else noticed that sometimes phrases that are read make the static noticable, too? When he says "meat is meat" you can hear it, or the book of dead episode when the beginning prose is read before the warning (or the warning itself?), it makes static, too.

      "I don't know if it's intentional or not, but I like the idea that just the written testaments still have a magic power to them when read aloud"
      The concept at least is very intentional. It's been stated by Jon before that (as far as he knows) you can differentiate the real statements from the fake ones by the fact that the real ones won't record on computer and instead have to be recorded on tape.

    Ok, I’ve been obsessed with this for the last two weeks and I've been taking notes since the beginning, so, I have this little theory about how the things/demons/monsters(? agrupate, or something like that.
    At first I thought that they were like the most fundamental fears, but they are more specific than that, so now I think that they are more like the Endless (from The sandman by Nail Gaiman). Maybe some kind of separate beings that coexist in a very precarious balance, very related to morals and existential questions.
    1. We have the Thing that is related to the book Ex altiora, the emptiness, the sky and the universe and all the things that we are nothing compared to, maybe deep waters too. So, is about how our existence doesn't mean anything. And that is the one that i’m the most sure about.
    2. the Thing that is related to the bugs and the rotten meat, maybe being eaten too, but is kind of contradictory, because I think is more close to the filth and that is not quite edible(? Too disgusting.
    3. the Thing with the spiders, that at first I thought they were with the bugs and the disgusting, but now i think they are completely separated. The spiders are probably more close to be related to the eyes, and being trapped and/or watched on their webs. I don't know, spiders have 8 eyes, so there goes my bet.
    4. Michael, probably the twisted and the deformation of reality, like the stairs in the coffin. so the madness or hallucinations, even all the oniric kind of stuff.
    5. The fire or the burned, the Thing with Agnes and the cult of the lightless flame. The ones that did the ritual in the woods, probably.
    6. The Darkness that they talk about at the beginning of this episode, the man that died in the prison, and this Rayner guy that is probably similar to agnes but with his own weird cult/church of people.
    7. I’m still not sure about the thing with the table, and Not!Sasha, and the stuff that almost “is” but not quite, like the vampires and the taxidermist.
    Probably each one of these Things are related to one Lightner book or more.
    This may be too much but I think that the Institute is working with the spiders and Agnes knew(?. And I don't trust Elias because he realized something about Not!Sasha and decided to not say anything.
    That’s it, that's what I have, my thoughts at 3 in the morning.
    And probably there are hundreds of comments just like this one.
    ps. English is not my first language, so I apologise to whoever read this if everything is terribly written.

Don't quite get the doll heads or exactly what's up with the metal heart, but doesn't seem too far fetched.

    Wait this Tom Han also appeared in the episode "killing floor", when the protagonist finds him shooting himself with the electric gun and assumes he must be dead; but I didn't quite check the dates when the statements took place, so I can't tell which happened first. I believe that " Killing floor" is the first in chronological order: maybe he didn't actually die and gained some weird powers related to the meat. Also, no one would hire a serial killer, even on a killing floor.

    My theory from this episode and what we know so far:
    Another mention to meat and to cannibalism. To be honest, I don't have a clear theory about this entity, only that it reminds me of one of the seven deadly sins: gluttony. But, gluttony is not just about food, it's about the constant need to consume, so if that was true the meat entity would be also related to episodes that are about consumption. Though, unfortunately I can't remember of any episode like this and I'm not really fond of going back and relistening or rereading the ones I've already did..>_

      Truth. Even drug addiction is a kind of greedy consumption.

    I guess the TAKEAWAY from this episode is that meat is meat

    72 episodes in and that was the first time I've shuddered, the achilles tendon being injured is one of my greatest fears.

    the audio crackling at "meat is me" was what scared me the most in this episode 0.0
