Please see my comment on the drone and smart phone. [G4, G5 maybe]. It doesn't require any other network structure, the phone is the network host, the drone connects to it. YOu need the APP that the drone "comes with" (references), which is normally on the web, you'd need to already have it since there is no internet from which to get it.
@@angelae5748 I'm not saying the scene...I'm saying the words said during the scene. Victor (Still with a kid's mind) saying "I couldn't get home" in a way that felt like he thought his dad would be disappointed in him. That's the thing that killed me.
You can't volunteer to be a martyr and then get mad about the outcome. Both Tian Chen and Randall volunteered to help, and Boyd told each of them "No" or "go back", "or "go inside" multiple times. Both decided not to do that. They put their lives on the line to help others - don't blame Boyd. Don't blame anyone. It is what it is. That comes with the territory if you decide to be a martyr - and that's why there aren't many true martyrs.
Nice statement ,and I be seeing this. And was like. How they go blame it all on Boyd. Cause Boyd always want to deal with things alone but they chose to help. Now the results are for Boyd .hell no! I agree with you.
For 2.5 seasons, we all wanted a general meeting where everyone would tell each other about their experiences in the town, but when we finally got that meeting, I think everyone just wanted it to end and for everyone there to shut up already xD
I think jades right to many people in a meeting, caused anarchy. People fight and argue nothing gets resolved. That’s why the government keeps most stuff from us 😂 causes uproars.
Yup lmfao, if come to terms that 99% of the ppl in the town are useless and see nothing know nothing and are just there for Boyd to protect and save. There’s only a few important characters, and even between them only half actually see or hear things. A legit town meeting would/should just be victor telling everyone what he knows, nothing anyone else sees or hears means shit, besides letting us know who plays what role.
To be honest...the entire show and the lack of answers is making me as upset as those fromilies! We're on episode 5 done, half way thru season, and we havent learned anything new. I wonder if there is no ending planned. That would be a let down.
Typing as I listen. 1) yep bottle holding a melted candle. 2) Mannequin head from the 1940's. She has a plastic clothes pin clipped to the mouth. There is a decoration or tattoo drawn on the neck. 3) They didn't kill Randal so that he could squeal on Boyd for leaving him, undermining his authority (as opposed to him being a day reminder). 4) The black thing with 2 lenses is a "viewfinder" 3d image viewer, with round disks that provided real 3d. This one is probably dated 1950. 5) On the box by the toy police car, that's not a 'map', it's how older labels in the 50's were made, when the paper started to peal off, the blue backing showed. This is just wear. 6) The numbers on the walls, most likely reflect the movements of the trees. Under the white figure is the old map of the tree locations. Victor is tracking them. There is a group of 10 trees circled in the upper right, and direction of movement lines. 7) The white figure is holding up 6 fingers, it's deliberate, not just a bad drawing. I'll post this now, and edit additional comments. EDIT 8) The view out of the window changes dramatically from remembered night to actual day. Almost like it is a different window. Oddly they left the plowed road and the snow pile at the bottom, in the shot, it forms a deliberate line between the town and colony house. Us vs Them. That was a very important shot, as when she first arrived, this was not seen. Now it's meant for us to see. EDIT - 9) When Tabitha and Victor's dad get out, they'll be facing a police investigation for the missing Ambulance men and cop. Leaving is no longer a great option for them. EDIT: 10) The round object in the basement is a wool wheel, you feed sheared wool into it and spin (literally spin) it into yarn. It fits the decor, and would be a common household item before 1900. The press above it, with the T handle is also from the same time period, as is the icebox it is sitting on, and the wooden dresser behind it. They have probably been sitting there as the original objects moved into storage. The room also contains scales, shipping boxes and an artdeco swivel stool with arms, probably from the diner, and a hanging fruit basket rack. EDIT 11) Elgin is wearing a black bird on his t shirt. You will note that it wasn't visible clearly until he entered the basement and put on the hat. EDIT 12) I'm surprised the D4500CT BUS is still there, as the production would have to rent it every time they shoot it, unless they got a deal on a wreck, but it looks new to me. EDIT 13) When the town duplicates the outside world, it only copies part of it, for example, the MOTEL sign but no motel, and no room for one to have ever been there. EDIT 14) the numbers you obtained look to me like 1032, but my copy of the show has the paper scrubbed and no image is visible. EDIT 15) The bottles in the tree are not just to hold the numbers, but also so that the trees can be found again when the wind blows, because the trees move. The trees transport you to random places, but Victor's mother said that one tree was "special" as it would take her to the tower. He forgot to mention that it is reserved for the "chosen one" to go to the tower, which is why when Dale used it, he was transported into concrete. It was punishment. Perhaps transport to the tower is only allowed when you are of Victor's family or have something he owns. Perhaps. When Tabitha entered the tree the bottles clinked in order, indicating a coordinate transfer system. When Dale entered, the bottles did not clink, indicating no coordinates were routed. OK that's all I had to add. Thx.
Oh, one thing I forgot in my big speech below, lol, is that when Boyd yelled "You CANT break me!" the only witness was the dog, who immediately bolted to tell the creatures. The dog's a spy. I'd like to go back over the entire series to see when the dog appears and what he learns.
@@EricDeanCampbell I think Fromville hears everything said....above ground, anyway. Victor said the basement was for secrets- AND the hiding places for people before the Talismans were found were underground in those trap door cellars we saw when Boyd's family came to town. Maybe the monsters can't see/hear underground and that kept people safe?
@@EricDeanCampbellyou are the only person who I have seen so far that has said what I’ve said. I feel like I found my twin 😅 I thought that the bottle tree was like a machine or CPU like system as well. Omg. There’s so much for us to discuss 🥲
I just want to say how much I appreciate your videos, there are so many out there just filling their videos with recaps pretending they have clues. You are the only one doing it for real! Thank you 🙏
Say it again because all these channels keep saying they have clues in their titles. The thing is that their clues are terrible. "Fromland" TH-cam channel is by far the best. This channel is right next to it. In terms of production this channel "Geekademy" is the best. Second to none
Hey, I don't know if someone has paid attention to the scene in the basement when Julie and Elgin found the stuff from '80s: "This is '80s vintage." "Can you imagine people running through the woods in, like, fluorescent spandex?" "With their big-ass hair getting caught in the branches?" In my opinion, it's proof that people still were coming to Fromville after the massacre in 1978 and Victor wasn't alone for decades as a lot of people think.
I agree with you - I don't think he was alone, either that he was hiding/living away from town and didn't know others came, or (more likely) suppressed and lost memories. Much more likely than no one being there imo and this was absolutely a clue to that
I agree 100%! I was yelling at the TV 😂 "yeah, go to the cops and tell them your people are stuck in monsterville and see what happens" Tabitha obviously left the boy in white out of her explanation. Victor lost hope when he was alone, I think that's why he lived so long. The boy in white is helping Victor, his friend. Victor's dad is the key.
If she went to the police they would have automatically questioned her about where her family is thought she did something to them and she would have been locked up in a mental asylum oh wait they don't have those anymore okay she would have been put in jail!!! That's the new mental asylum!!!!
My favorite quotes from FROM “Stop the GD bus!” “Donna! There’s a bus parked outside the diner!” “The marker was dry., it was a bad gift!” “If there are more than three people at a meeting, it’s pointless.” “You’re still the worst fng priest I ever met!” “Are you real?” “Yeah, I’m fng real., are you fng real??” “You so much complain… complain, complain… Stop complain!”
Go find the torch Boyd used to see the cave. Bring it to the town and light it and voila, the motel appears … the only problem with that is other things may appear also in the town. More sinister, older things.
I think burying personal effects of the dead prevents them from becoming monsters. That's why the Boy In White told Victor to bury that stuff in the suitcase. And remember, theonsters each keep items or personal effects inside the monster tunnels. Now we see the stuff "buried" in a trunk from the 80's in the basement. I can't believe there wasn't a can of hairspray in there. Or hair gel. Journey on cassette tape. I think destroying the personal effects destroys the monsters. I think it's their weakness.
We all know Dale would be the one in the pool, but I expected him to fall from a great height or something, not fulfill the VERY CLEAR foreshadowing done in season 1 🤣
They never showed the polaroid of Julie. I'm pretty sure that when we do see it, it will be a screaming dull-eyed Julie; because a camera captures the image of a person. The image of Julie is that she is feeling the screaming, hearing it; because she's still captive and no longer herself.
Henry is now "missing" in Fromville. What does this mean in the main world? Tabitha came to his house and did an internet search of herself. There's a record of that. He was last seen with her in a car accident. The cop and EMTs with them ended up in Fromville. Connections will be made between Henry, Tabitha, Acosta and the EMTs. An investigation will start and NOT at a local level, and that's if it isn't already going on. Henry said the leading detective died 20 years prior. New layers were added since then. Even if this didn't start out as a government experiment, I know that some agency has their eyes and ears on Fromville. The town has to emit a huge quantity of energy. CERN or somebody knows it's there but can't access it and can't warn the general public. When I say Tabitha should've done more, I mean she should've been on somebody's message board trying to see if anyone, even ONE person, is talking about Fromville. No, she shouldn't have went to the police because at a local level, they're useless.
Randal wasnt having a seizure. Let me explain, one of the things we were taught when dealing with casualties overseas is to make sure your buddy dosen't have his weapon in his hand if he comes to. What happens is they may relive their last conscious moment and act it out. Randal just regained conciousness and thiught he was still being messed with by the monsters. That and blood loss, he's in shock. Hope that helps.
@@BattleDamageProps But will Fromville allow it to heal? Remember that some people heal crazy fast like Ethan and Ellis while others, like Jim aren't healing at all or much SLOWER than normal. He's still wincing from his cracked ribs he got in S2 ep1! I think Fromville is going to make Randall hurt to prod him on to confronting/challenging Boyd.
@@jasoncaldwell5627 season 2 episode one was maybe a week ago in their time. The in universe timeline feom when the mathews arrived til the current episode is.what, a month? Two?
@@BattleDamageProps I started to count the days with the help of the "days since the last incident" count on the sheriff office and it looked like one episode was one day, but I think it would take a rewatch to know precisely the timeline. It would also be interesting to know when Fatima became "pregnant".
I am so glad Boyd yelled at the people of the town! Like I get the idea that maybe it’s good to keep everyone’s spirits up but enough is enough, all these people are adults and need to join reality and help out! When those 14 people were killed by the monsters after Fatima’s party, the whole household left Donna alone to clean up and bury everyone like wtf?!! No more of this nonsense, all hands on deck lol sorry rant over lol
@@CasanovaPugilist147 hahahaha yeah I mean they are all fine to let Boyd and Donna and Tian Chen do all the work around town while they just walk around and do nada but when things go wrong, everyone’s got better ideas lol
@@elizabitty213 Thank you! I understand that characters do have tasks in the town off-screen and we consistently see people working together to farm, but few have taken on the kind of responsibility Boyd, Donna, Tian Chen, Kenny, and Kristi have. I would include Sara on that list, given that she consistently seeks opportunities to help despite the knowledge that no one fully trusts or likes her, but she wisely avoided that meeting. In the first season, I was wondering on Earth Kenny and Boyd had to dig graves, too, although in the second season, it appears that Sara buried the lady killed by those cicadas. No one in that meeting volunteered to organize information, interview inhabitants for their strange experiences or visions, start mapping the mysterious trees, WRITE DOWN what Tabitha and Henry were telling them-which seems like a good idea, given this town’s propensity for sudden death. In the promotional stills from the upcoming episode, it looks like Donna is the one building a sort of cairn or wall around Dale’s body. No one else could help out? A handful of characters stepped forward to bear enormous responsibilities and a lot of other people stepped back, confident that someone else was handling everything.
This is by far my favourite episode. The emotional roller coaster was insane. Getting to laugh with Elgin and Julie. Crying for Henry and Victors reunion. The shock of someone being literally encased in concrete, I had my hand over my mouth the whole time, like Oh My Goooood. Good thing is FINALLY people are starting to discuss things! I really loved Tabitha and Jade's conversation in front of the tree. I'm also enjoying Sarah and Victors relationship, its very sweet. But during the town meeting I was super pissed off with Donna, she interrupted Henry when he was about to mention the bottle tree in the real world 🤯 like woman please shush! I find it very fascinating that Henry was void of hope for years but as soon as Tabitha arrived and told him Victor was alive, his hope was back, and then he was immediately pulled into Fromville. Also fascinating how Henry pointed out there's a motel sign and no motel. It made me think, maybe all the buildings were pulled into Fromville first, like all the trinkets and cars are.
I was introducing the show to a friend, and we watched the first episode together. While watching, I noticed something interesting: just before they enter Colony House, the jock creature (Name he has been given on the From Wiki) asks Julie, "Don’t you recognize me?" This immediately made me wonder if that is meant to Thomas. The line felt more significant upon rewatching, especially now that we know about the phone calls Thomas has been making. It’s a small detail, but I think it’s worth keeping an eye on!
Things are heating up in Boydville.. I mean Fromville. Really liking this season so far. Can't wait for next episode and see what happens next in Boydville... Fromville Fromville I mean Fromville.
The bottle on the coffee table in colony house was used as a candle holder. A popular idea in the 60's/70s using wine bottles typically - god Im old lol
I get the point of ppl asking questions about police - they are now desperate and think, she could just go there, ask about missing ppl and say that she knows where they are. But 1) c'mon, who would believe in town with monsters, 2) you can't just ask google maps to create a road to Fromville. If town wants to solve the tree riddle they must collect all information, not just in fragments. Boyd also didn't talk a lot about his tree experience. They could invite Julie , because she also used the tree. I'm disappointed about this whole meeting - instead of listening and asking right questions, they were just shouting.
Hey, so glad you MADE another video. This is the best commentary one can find for all things FROM. I LOVE IT! This is my therapy session- Have you ever heard of the show Talking Dead? It’s an after-show for fans of the Walking Dead. You would be great at interviewing the stars and analyzing the storyline! Plus, I would love to hear interviews from the writers., think about it! Fans could play quiz show games about your theories and win merchandising related to the From show- like a mini bottle tree, or a metal lunchbox via Victor. 😅😂 Thanks for your thoughts- it does my soul well
Great video as always Igor. Doesn't the basement in Colony House where Julie and Elgin found the polaroid camera look like the same location in Victor's flashback of Christopher talking to Jasper. Likewise, the basement stone arches look like the arches of the Martin's dungeon. Lastly, the bicycle looks like the bicycle that Jade stole. Keep up the great work.
I think the numbers in the bottles are house numbers. I think that Tabetha went safely from the tree to the lighthouse and out because Victor gave her his lunch box and it had his house number written inside. Perhaps they need to have a certain destination and a house number to get out.
One major flaw is how not many people confront Victor and ask him you've been here the longest. What have you found out about this place? All i've seen is people talk to him about stuff and he runs away. Hopefully in the next season we see more of Victor putting pieces together instead of ignoring people and running away.
I think each dimension gets a Bottle Tree. Fromville, Camden, the Lighthouse are all in separate dimensions. I think the four digit numbers inside the bottles are coordinates for the tree teleporter. Removing them moves the teleporter destination so the Tree no longer goes to the Lighthouse but into the pool wall.
Omg I cried like a baby when Victor reunited with his father 😢 also could those number are coordinates? I also think the numbers Victor has written down could maybe be about the trees? Idk I remember he counts the amount of inches the trees move. Also I just gotta say Thank you because your videos are literally the best when it comes to discussing From.
I think exactly the same as you! Victor numbers have a map too with green triangles (trees) and the numbers inside bottles wore all out when dale enters the three so I think they are coordinates and victor knows more about the magic trees
Felt bad for Acosta, but I also thought it was ironic and funny how Boyd went nuts on her, when she was already very visibly guilty, then when Boyd admits guilt to Bakta, she's immediately there for him and he has support and understanding. Feel he's gonna eventually come around and take her in under his wing. She's basically a female Kenny, just wants to help organize the town.
The black thing looks like a “View finder” a toy that you hold up to your eyes like binoculars and you see cool 3-d pics of different animals, objects, people… usually Disney characters or similar One of my favorite nostalgic toys: Now, they sell them to look like it, but you can upload your own pictures to it- but , back in the day, you had these tiny, circular negative size inserts that fit them. Hold it up to the light, and you have a vivid, three D pic
I believe The Boy in White understands (or perhaps controls?) the faraway trees’ mechanics, and if he’s not involved in the usage of them in some capacity, the person who steps into one of them gets a Dale ticket. The bottle tree is seemingly the only one that can potentially take worthy/invited people to the lighthouse, but there are other trees that took people to places where they were supposed to go too. How the numbers are connected to it, I really cannot guess yet, but I don’t think they are about that one specific tree, more like the trees in general. Trees and their roots are a huge theme in the show. I don’t think the faraway trees are temperamental per se, we just don’t understand how they work yet. I should watch the whole series again to double check, but if I remember correctly, there was not a single instance when someone used a faraway tree (and lived to tell the tale) without the Boy in White’s interference or say so. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Thank you for mentioning they are married - so this is the last on screen moment she and her husband are in the same scene (unless Dale haunts Donna) and I believe FROM is the first thing they have been in together since the production where they met.
Interesting note about seizures. They take place in your frontal cortex, which is also responsible for your emotions. So it seems like this place gives people seizures and effects to make them emotionally, weak and more vulnerable to the monsters.
LOL!!! This is the funniest recap that you've done to date, I was laughing my butt off! I so appreciate everything that you stated, and I felt the exact same way. Great recap/review, I can't wait for the next one. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What did they want Tabitha to do. Even if she got people to believe, help her, and return with them - How would the new arrivals help them get out? How can the police help them remotely?
Thank you for teaching us a bit about story writing! Yes I agree, I’m hopeful the creators will follow through with a storyline and complete some! I’m frustrated too!
I think maybe Victor was adding and subtracting his steps to reach the tree line? It does look like he drew trees right next to his equation… and its mentioned that the trees are “alive”
14:30 Nicky died so we could have the cannibal scene with Fatima. Also I was wondering if the bullet might have damaged Nicky's intestine so the blood was tainted with "wastes". 32:46 They are being stupid because if Tabitha had said something to the police and they believed her, she would have probably ended up being a test subject and not in any position to help Fromville people. Yes I watched X-Files a lot :D 44:50 It looks like some kind of crafting device, maybe a spinning wheel to make yarn. 48:00 We don't know if Julie's picture is normal, they start playing with it before they look at it, there still is a possibility for a weird thing on the picture. 1:03:14 I'm sure most of us and not only Boyd had this "told you so" moment. We just knew. Also I think the CGI is meant to look like that because it makes Dale's agony even more grotesque and horrific.
Tabitha also would've become a suspect in a potential murder case of her family, because where are they? and no a magic village filled with night monsters is not an answer. She would have either been locked up in jail or a psychiatric institution tbh. She already had a police escort with her in the ambulance. So I also would not have said anything and just kept a low profile.
I think we can quit it with the notion that Henry is a bad dude or hiding something. The missing motel is kind of the elephant in the room. And we'll, Henry just said it. I wonder if it will be important. You would think the town folk would be more cautious after surviving even a single night 8n Fromville. I also have this notion regarding the numbers. What if they are the distance of the trees. The same numbers Victor had made his life work. And did anyone notice the merry go round is in one of the images with a giant arrow pointing at it?
I have always been Team Henry. He never did anything that led me to believe he was an abusive jerk. He didn’t even move on…he could have married again and had kids…but he was devoted, poor guy. 😢 I would get so mad at people that said, oh Victor said no and ran because his dad was abusive…nope…Victor was just worried about how his dad would see him as a child-adult. Or that Miranda ran from him…I feel she was just taking the kids to school…hence the lunchbox. Why do people always assume the worst?
For me, when Henry commented about the motel, it was the writers placing the viewer in the story through Henry. He's like a tourist in Fromville, and saying out loud things many things we would have thought. I also sometimes wonder where is the water from the pool, and why isn't there random water and gunk at the bottom if it's drained and not maintained. I'd be interested to see if they use him to give us other answers. Totally agree he's not a bad dude. He's got a great gentle energy and I think his presence will help Victor work through his trauma enough to figure out his past
If you follow Julie down the stairs of Colony House (21.44), the wall behind her has a large red stain (ripped wallpaper) with 2 holes that look like eyes. It looks like the red monster from the cave drawings. I can't believe it's a coincidence.
@geekademy I really think something happened to Randall in his backstory that involves abandonment. If you think back to his first night in the bus, the monsters were talking to him and tapping on the door. Randall then started flipping out on them, and as he was talking they walked away. He started yelling at them not to walk away from him. When he yelled at Boyd it just made me flash back to that moment. I think the monsters are using that weakness to manipulate him.
Well, Ricky He did say we were gonna be bamboozled and then a little pissed about having to wait for an answer till the next season, so really excited to see what will turn my head around and increase my blood pressure 🤣
The map is the faraway trees and the places it takes you. Victor has been keeping track of the trees and where you end up. Also i believe in the finale of last season Jade saw the symbol and it work like a map of which trees lets you leave pike a subway map!
From is the stroy of the solar cycle begining in Aries, now we are at the winter solstice. It is all astrology and astronomy. I've also found the meaning of the numbers. It's significant in astrology: Meaning of Seeing 2659 "If you keep seeing the number 2659, it is a message from the universe that you are on the right path. It signifies that you have the support and guidance of the spiritual realm as you navigate through life. The repeated appearance of 2659 may also indicate that you are entering a phase of significant transformation and growth. Embrace change and trust that it is leading you towards a brighter future."
If we include quantum mechanics. The children watching the roots grown might have caused a constant collapse of the wave-function (somehow) and created the Fromville CTC paradox loop, now, evidently this is not a time related loop but only spatial loop. We also know that the lighthouse and dungeon are not accessible by normal means. Meaning they might be further loops. The faraway trees are redirectional cones within the anomaly loop. Imagine a circle and the cones dictate the directional curvature of the loop. Onces you move within a cone you are redirected wherever the cone goes. Thus they keep going back to the plac they began at. But that does not mean there can't be secondary cones that direct off the circle ind to other sub-loops, the faraway trees. The numbers in the bottles must have something to do with the state of the cones and how to redirect them. Is it related to light? Boyd lighting the torch brought him back to the dungeon, but just when the torch was back to it's original state. Also the lighthouse is an important light source. Or maybe its object related. There is a reason why the show has given importance to the objects in storage, in Vic's suitcase and Sarah's christmas ornament, in the cave and now under colony house. I can't help but feel like it's related to quantum states and the observer theory and how to collapse the wave-function into specific states. And these objects help collapse the function into certain states because of memories. In quantum physics, a tree exists in every possible quantum state until it is observed. For example, a tree could be both fallen and not fallen at the same time. The outcome of the tree depends on the observer's observation. It is strange that the characters only enter the loop once they observe the fallen trees/roots and collapse that wave-function for that state. While the children observe the trees to make sure they remain in the not-fallen state, causing the loop. Bacause of this, it makes sense that the re-directional cone anomalies are within trees too. How did someone in the times before Einstein figure out that continuously collapsing the wave-function would cause a CTC? IDK. Maybe it was a modern experiment (70's) and it caused a retroactive anomally. If state-related, would placing the trees back in the not-fallen state be the solution, just like putting the torch back in the burning state caused a spatial change?
Well. It seems it might be a time related loop as well. While the show explained it in a methaphotical way, i did it scientifically. Lets see where this goes. The dungeon seem to definitely be a subloop.
Unless Victor’s “sister” Elouise was just a parentless child that his mom took in and just told him to treat her like his sister. It’s not adding up. Because the dad didn’t even ask “what about Elouise?”. It’s weird!
And screw his hot girlfriend and get stabbed. Could be a worse life, honestly. We need to look at Ellis' drawings and room. Ellis has a pencil drawing of the glass from the Lighthouse on his wall. The painting on the wall behind the bed is obviously Miranda's work- not Ellis'!
Whenever they say they need to tell people and get help. I wonder what exactly they expect the "help" to do? Do they worry that maybe they'll strand the "help."
This series is so good for the right reasons, no matter how it ends up. Nothing is frustrating, behavior of characters is largely not blown out and exaggerated. Seems like they actually know how frustrating much of main-stream series are, therefore I always feel like every minute of each episode is worth the time. Just allowing the teenager girl and black dude to have a conversation and fun without escalating it for no reason shows some dignity from creators...
The town meeting wasn't useless to me as it was to make people understand that Boyd is there to keep them safe specially after what happen if you just go thru the tree. Is for people to trust and listen to Boyd.
I think you are right about Clara, Elton was in the house with her, but when juli comes in he is about to wack her! Clara was in there tormenting him, then she comes in late and not hearing the story but she is the loudest. she giving away herself...
Experience has taught me that people generally do not listen very well at all. In fact, they are often distracted by other things in their minds, they can hear things that were not said, and interpret things in ways that are entirely opposite to what was said. When I was younger, this shocked me. Now that I am older, I anticipate it and take more steps to ensure instructions, or things I say, are heard and understood as they are intended. Regardless, I was also frustrated by the town meeting scene. Writers get carried away with creating conflict and sacrifice smart characters to serve that conflict far too often. That kind of character inconsistency can ruin a show, story, or a character severely if it happens too frequently. I find this happens a lot more in modern television productions. I suspect it's because the writers come and go more frequently, especially if the show carries on for several seasons.
The worst part of the meeting was people not letting Henry finish what he was saying,cuz the whole victors mom story was so important ,that made me so angry !at this point this people doesn’t even deserve to know
55:18 To me, it looks like an old book with a title on the spine, not a journal. It would be cool if it was a journal though. I thought it might be the book Crumbs we saw before.
The only thing Tabby could have done better was to not freak out and cause the accident. Otherwise she didn't have time enough. If she had more time there, outside, she could have searched for other people who might have gotten out, together with Henry.
I think that the numbers, on the map with the green triangles, are either the number of people who arrived and died or the distances that the trees have moved. Also, I think that the numbers in the bottles are dates that people were teleported into Fromville. 2659 = February 6, 1959. The people would or should know the date that they disappeared.
Maybe the numbers in the bottle tree are coordinates, like the exact place on the map from where people come to fromville, or coordinates of where people who were chosen to come to fromville live
Other predictions: 1. There is a big bad that want to escape 2. To escape it needs certain actions from certain people 3. The goal is to make townpeople miserable so special ones (for sure Boyd, Tabitha and Jade, maybe someone else is also essential) need to break the curse that trapped BB (big bad) in this place. 4. BB has magical powers but not limitless. Monsters are its minions. BB can hear the conversations and looks at real world and it says stuff to monsters. 5. Boy in white is a BB or its minon. He is manipulation and putting pieces to places so he can get the result (breaking the curse). He COULD tell Victor how to escape all these years thet they were friends, couldnt he? He does not want Victor to go. 6. Previous cycles were failed attempts. 7. Something went wrong the last cycle so the BB "reset" killing everyone. Or BB realised that it need one person like Victor to do something. Or actually last cycle people were close to break the curse. And Christopher actually saved lur world by sending monters to kill everyone. 8. BB cannot talk to monsters during the night. It only tells them stuff during the day. 9. There are also other monsters in fromville so BB needs to make people conditions bad but also keep most importa t ones alive so they will not stupidly die. These are my thoughts
When we find out about what Jasper knows (In episode 9 or 10, lets be honest), well probably get info on Elloise. Theyre somehow connected, because her dissaperance and the massacre happened at the same time.
30:08 this scene and shot specifically messed with me, why have so much open screen space just for that empty chair next to Elgin. Was on edge because looked like kimono lady was gonna be sitting there, thay whole scene threw me off because felt like potential clues. Never got to see Julie's photo.
23:06 he’s counting how the trees moving, I think, the first number is where the thing used to be and +- is how much it move in one or other direction in relation to the trees new position
Yes, I just checked to be sure, it’s a view master . A view finder is part of a camera but I’m sure others used finder meaning master as that’s an easy thing to mistake. Can’t wait till ep.6 . Hope they have more about the old village. Thanks again
I think the numbers on the tree are hotel or in this case, motel room number. The first number indicates de building or floor/1,2,3 and the next three numbers indicate the room itself. I thought about this because Victor's dad made such a big deal wondering where the motel is when stared at the sign and pool.

Watch the tv series Dark Matter. It was time travel and it depended on his thought process where he would get sent. He also took some kind of drug.
F Yes!!
I don't think Randall was having a seizure, my guess is he was seeing the cicadas again.... Just a guess though.
I think this is the black thing on the table.

Please see my comment on the drone and smart phone. [G4, G5 maybe]. It doesn't require any other network structure, the phone is the network host, the drone connects to it. YOu need the APP that the drone "comes with" (references), which is normally on the web, you'd need to already have it since there is no internet from which to get it.
The actor that plays Victor is doing an incredible job. That scene with his dad was movie material
😭😭😭
💯
same with kenny a couple episodes ago! the acting is top tier in this show!
yeah.. Scott McCord is an incredible actor :)
He really pulls it off. One of the characters/actors on the series.
Victor saying "I couldnt get home" during the reunion with his dad...killed me!!!! Loving this show
Niagara Falls 😭😭😭
@@jaymierae9890 I was chopping onions lol
same
Weirdly, the scene didn't emotionally affect me. I guess the scene was over-hyped and too syrupy for me.
@@angelae5748 I'm not saying the scene...I'm saying the words said during the scene. Victor (Still with a kid's mind) saying "I couldn't get home" in a way that felt like he thought his dad would be disappointed in him. That's the thing that killed me.
Why isn’t anyone freaking out over the fact that even though she got out it brought her right back.
Yeeeessss talking about how could she not bring help. lol 😅
@@candikingdom Wasn't that exactly what happened at the town meeting?!?
Right ? Like she was brought back so there is no hope of getting out cause your gonna come back
half that town is waste of skin fuk em
Exactly she got out and came back real quick so yeah can you really get out . Uh I don't think so!
You can't volunteer to be a martyr and then get mad about the outcome. Both Tian Chen and Randall volunteered to help, and Boyd told each of them "No" or "go back", "or "go inside" multiple times. Both decided not to do that. They put their lives on the line to help others - don't blame Boyd. Don't blame anyone. It is what it is. That comes with the territory if you decide to be a martyr - and that's why there aren't many true martyrs.
Thank you!
Nice statement ,and I be seeing this. And was like. How they go blame it all on Boyd. Cause Boyd always want to deal with things alone but they chose to help. Now the results are for Boyd .hell no! I agree with you.
I completely agree. I can understand reacting on the spot and being pissed off but soon after, get it together.
Agree
But Randall WILL blame Boyd.
For 2.5 seasons, we all wanted a general meeting where everyone would tell each other about their experiences in the town, but when we finally got that meeting, I think everyone just wanted it to end and for everyone there to shut up already xD
I think jades right to many people in a meeting, caused anarchy. People fight and argue nothing gets resolved. That’s why the government keeps most stuff from us 😂 causes uproars.
@@carlie-10 Jade sentence about it is my favourite :P
Yup lmfao, if come to terms that 99% of the ppl in the town are useless and see nothing know nothing and are just there for Boyd to protect and save. There’s only a few important characters, and even between them only half actually see or hear things. A legit town meeting would/should just be victor telling everyone what he knows, nothing anyone else sees or hears means shit, besides letting us know who plays what role.
Lol you explained it perfectly
same lmao sometimes when you ask for what you want for a long time coming you dont even have the same energy
Asking why Tabitha didn't tell anyone outside pissed me off like bro, when yall first entered the town even yall didn't believe.
That meeting pissed me off 😭. No one is sharing the right info or asking the right questions.
Most people are dumb 🤷🏽♂️
I knew it would not be the meeting we wanted. 😢
@@beewest5704 Like Jade said, meetings with more than 3 people are useless. 😄
No one was listening or being patient.
To be honest...the entire show and the lack of answers is making me as upset as those fromilies! We're on episode 5 done, half way thru season, and we havent learned anything new. I wonder if there is no ending planned. That would be a let down.
Typing as I listen. 1) yep bottle holding a melted candle. 2) Mannequin head from the 1940's. She has a plastic clothes pin clipped to the mouth. There is a decoration or tattoo drawn on the neck. 3) They didn't kill Randal so that he could squeal on Boyd for leaving him, undermining his authority (as opposed to him being a day reminder). 4) The black thing with 2 lenses is a "viewfinder" 3d image viewer, with round disks that provided real 3d. This one is probably dated 1950. 5) On the box by the toy police car, that's not a 'map', it's how older labels in the 50's were made, when the paper started to peal off, the blue backing showed. This is just wear. 6) The numbers on the walls, most likely reflect the movements of the trees. Under the white figure is the old map of the tree locations. Victor is tracking them. There is a group of 10 trees circled in the upper right, and direction of movement lines. 7) The white figure is holding up 6 fingers, it's deliberate, not just a bad drawing. I'll post this now, and edit additional comments. EDIT 8) The view out of the window changes dramatically from remembered night to actual day. Almost like it is a different window. Oddly they left the plowed road and the snow pile at the bottom, in the shot, it forms a deliberate line between the town and colony house. Us vs Them. That was a very important shot, as when she first arrived, this was not seen. Now it's meant for us to see. EDIT - 9) When Tabitha and Victor's dad get out, they'll be facing a police investigation for the missing Ambulance men and cop. Leaving is no longer a great option for them. EDIT: 10) The round object in the basement is a wool wheel, you feed sheared wool into it and spin (literally spin) it into yarn. It fits the decor, and would be a common household item before 1900. The press above it, with the T handle is also from the same time period, as is the icebox it is sitting on, and the wooden dresser behind it. They have probably been sitting there as the original objects moved into storage. The room also contains scales, shipping boxes and an artdeco swivel stool with arms, probably from the diner, and a hanging fruit basket rack. EDIT 11) Elgin is wearing a black bird on his t shirt. You will note that it wasn't visible clearly until he entered the basement and put on the hat. EDIT 12) I'm surprised the D4500CT BUS is still there, as the production would have to rent it every time they shoot it, unless they got a deal on a wreck, but it looks new to me. EDIT 13) When the town duplicates the outside world, it only copies part of it, for example, the MOTEL sign but no motel, and no room for one to have ever been there. EDIT 14) the numbers you obtained look to me like 1032, but my copy of the show has the paper scrubbed and no image is visible. EDIT 15) The bottles in the tree are not just to hold the numbers, but also so that the trees can be found again when the wind blows, because the trees move. The trees transport you to random places, but Victor's mother said that one tree was "special" as it would take her to the tower. He forgot to mention that it is reserved for the "chosen one" to go to the tower, which is why when Dale used it, he was transported into concrete. It was punishment. Perhaps transport to the tower is only allowed when you are of Victor's family or have something he owns. Perhaps. When Tabitha entered the tree the bottles clinked in order, indicating a coordinate transfer system. When Dale entered, the bottles did not clink, indicating no coordinates were routed. OK that's all I had to add. Thx.
Thanks great comment!
GREAT observations, Eric!
Oh, one thing I forgot in my big speech below, lol, is that when Boyd yelled "You CANT break me!" the only witness was the dog, who immediately bolted to tell the creatures. The dog's a spy. I'd like to go back over the entire series to see when the dog appears and what he learns.
@@EricDeanCampbell I think Fromville hears everything said....above ground, anyway.
Victor said the basement was for secrets- AND the hiding places for people before the Talismans were found were underground in those trap door cellars we saw when Boyd's family came to town. Maybe the monsters can't see/hear underground and that kept people safe?
@@EricDeanCampbellyou are the only person who I have seen so far that has said what I’ve said. I feel like I found my twin 😅 I thought that the bottle tree was like a machine or CPU like system as well. Omg. There’s so much for us to discuss 🥲
I just want to say how much I appreciate your videos, there are so many out there just filling their videos with recaps pretending they have clues. You are the only one doing it for real! Thank you 🙏
Say it again because all these channels keep saying they have clues in their titles. The thing is that their clues are terrible. "Fromland" TH-cam channel is by far the best. This channel is right next to it.
In terms of production this channel "Geekademy" is the best. Second to none

Hey, I don't know if someone has paid attention to the scene in the basement when Julie and Elgin found the stuff from '80s:
"This is '80s vintage."
"Can you imagine people running through the woods in, like, fluorescent spandex?"
"With their big-ass hair getting caught in the branches?"
In my opinion, it's proof that people still were coming to Fromville after the massacre in 1978 and Victor wasn't alone for decades as a lot of people think.
I agree with you - I don't think he was alone, either that he was hiding/living away from town and didn't know others came, or (more likely) suppressed and lost memories. Much more likely than no one being there imo and this was absolutely a clue to that
I agree 100%! I was yelling at the TV 😂 "yeah, go to the cops and tell them your people are stuck in monsterville and see what happens"
Tabitha obviously left the boy in white out of her explanation.
Victor lost hope when he was alone, I think that's why he lived so long.
The boy in white is helping Victor, his friend. Victor's dad is the key.
Right? The woman found in the wood with a concussion is talking crazy?
She'd be Baker Act'd in a flash.
If she went to the police they would have automatically questioned her about where her family is thought she did something to them and she would have been locked up in a mental asylum oh wait they don't have those anymore okay she would have been put in jail!!! That's the new mental asylum!!!!
@@mz.yumyum1461She probably would have been arrested…but hey, more time in the real world! 😊
My favorite quotes from FROM
“Stop the GD bus!”
“Donna! There’s a bus parked outside the diner!”
“The marker was dry., it was a bad gift!”
“If there are more than three people at a meeting, it’s pointless.”
“You’re still the worst fng priest I ever met!”
“Are you real?” “Yeah, I’m fng real., are you fng real??”
“You so much complain… complain, complain… Stop complain!”
Yes, You made me laugh, there are more Jade lines that I love but these are a great start.
"What are you on?" ....." What do you mean? I'm on the ground."
These are fantastic. I can only add:
“You’re even cuter when you’re awake.”
_“I would have rode you like an alabaster dragon.”_
RIP Trudy
@@edoboleyn😂 love it.
@@MF-ty2zn1 ditto
Go find the torch Boyd used to see the cave. Bring it to the town and light it and voila, the motel appears … the only problem with that is other things may appear also in the town. More sinister, older things.
I think when they do the ultrasound on Fatima, their going to see Diddy holding a bottle of baby oil.
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Meek mill voice: daaaaaaadddy yeaahah uHghJjjjjJJJjhhhhh
😂
🤣
I think burying personal effects of the dead prevents them from becoming monsters.
That's why the Boy In White told Victor to bury that stuff in the suitcase.
And remember, theonsters each keep items or personal effects inside the monster tunnels.
Now we see the stuff "buried" in a trunk from the 80's in the basement.
I can't believe there wasn't a can of hairspray in there. Or hair gel. Journey on cassette tape.
I think destroying the personal effects destroys the monsters. I think it's their weakness.
We all know Dale would be the one in the pool, but I expected him to fall from a great height or something, not fulfill the VERY CLEAR foreshadowing done in season 1 🤣
I thought he would be half stuck with his lower body
@@kriildYes.
What foreshadowing?
@@SoulyGSomething about CONCRETE evidence I think
Which foreshadow??*
They never showed the polaroid of Julie. I'm pretty sure that when we do see it, it will be a screaming dull-eyed Julie; because a camera captures the image of a person. The image of Julie is that she is feeling the screaming, hearing it; because she's still captive and no longer herself.
AGREED. I think they'll wait to show Julie in the photo as a smiling monster.
I thought the same. It's gonna be a doozy
Yes I was waiting for this moment I need to see that picture! 😱
Maybe the Kimono Lady will also be behind her.
@@wildmarjoramdieselpunk6396 Could be. I'd die laughing if the Kimono ghost was making faces and sticking out her tongue behind Julie in the pics...
Henry is now "missing" in Fromville. What does this mean in the main world?
Tabitha came to his house and did an internet search of herself. There's a record of that. He was last seen with her in a car accident. The cop and EMTs with them ended up in Fromville.
Connections will be made between Henry, Tabitha, Acosta and the EMTs.
An investigation will start and NOT at a local level, and that's if it isn't already going on.
Henry said the leading detective died 20 years prior. New layers were added since then.
Even if this didn't start out as a government experiment, I know that some agency has their eyes and ears on Fromville. The town has to emit a huge quantity of energy. CERN or somebody knows it's there but can't access it and can't warn the general public.
When I say Tabitha should've done more, I mean she should've been on somebody's message board trying to see if anyone, even ONE person, is talking about Fromville. No, she shouldn't have went to the police because at a local level, they're useless.
Randal wasnt having a seizure. Let me explain, one of the things we were taught when dealing with casualties overseas is to make sure your buddy dosen't have his weapon in his hand if he comes to. What happens is they may relive their last conscious moment and act it out. Randal just regained conciousness and thiught he was still being messed with by the monsters. That and blood loss, he's in shock. Hope that helps.
Poor Randall- they had to stitch his face closer without painkillers.
I hope they gave him morphine once he was at the Medical building/school.
@@jasoncaldwell5627 good news is most of his skin was there, so they could just clean it all and flop it back on for it to heal up with the stitches.
@@BattleDamageProps But will Fromville allow it to heal? Remember that some people heal crazy fast like Ethan and Ellis while others, like Jim aren't healing at all or much SLOWER than normal. He's still wincing from his cracked ribs he got in S2 ep1!
I think Fromville is going to make Randall hurt to prod him on to confronting/challenging Boyd.
@@jasoncaldwell5627 season 2 episode one was maybe a week ago in their time. The in universe timeline feom when the mathews arrived til the current episode is.what, a month? Two?
@@BattleDamageProps I started to count the days with the help of the "days since the last incident" count on the sheriff office and it looked like one episode was one day, but I think it would take a rewatch to know precisely the timeline. It would also be interesting to know when Fatima became "pregnant".
I am so glad Boyd yelled at the people of the town!
Like I get the idea that maybe it’s good to keep everyone’s spirits up but enough is enough, all these people are adults and need to join reality and help out!
When those 14 people were killed by the monsters after Fatima’s party, the whole household left Donna alone to clean up and bury everyone like wtf?!!
No more of this nonsense, all hands on deck lol sorry rant over lol
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@shalinalewis2957 lol thank you ☺️ 🤣😅
yeah the people of Boydville really need to listen to Boyd. It's his town after all.
@@CasanovaPugilist147 hahahaha yeah I mean they are all fine to let Boyd and Donna and Tian Chen do all the work around town while they just walk around and do nada but when things go wrong, everyone’s got better ideas lol
@@elizabitty213 Thank you! I understand that characters do have tasks in the town off-screen and we consistently see people working together to farm, but few have taken on the kind of responsibility Boyd, Donna, Tian Chen, Kenny, and Kristi have. I would include Sara on that list, given that she consistently seeks opportunities to help despite the knowledge that no one fully trusts or likes her, but she wisely avoided that meeting. In the first season, I was wondering on Earth Kenny and Boyd had to dig graves, too, although in the second season, it appears that Sara buried the lady killed by those cicadas.
No one in that meeting volunteered to organize information, interview inhabitants for their strange experiences or visions, start mapping the mysterious trees, WRITE DOWN what Tabitha and Henry were telling them-which seems like a good idea, given this town’s propensity for sudden death.
In the promotional stills from the upcoming episode, it looks like Donna is the one building a sort of cairn or wall around Dale’s body. No one else could help out?
A handful of characters stepped forward to bear enormous responsibilities and a lot of other people stepped back, confident that someone else was handling everything.
This is by far my favourite episode. The emotional roller coaster was insane. Getting to laugh with Elgin and Julie. Crying for Henry and Victors reunion. The shock of someone being literally encased in concrete, I had my hand over my mouth the whole time, like Oh My Goooood.
Good thing is FINALLY people are starting to discuss things! I really loved Tabitha and Jade's conversation in front of the tree. I'm also enjoying Sarah and Victors relationship, its very sweet. But during the town meeting I was super pissed off with Donna, she interrupted Henry when he was about to mention the bottle tree in the real world 🤯 like woman please shush!
I find it very fascinating that Henry was void of hope for years but as soon as Tabitha arrived and told him Victor was alive, his hope was back, and then he was immediately pulled into Fromville. Also fascinating how Henry pointed out there's a motel sign and no motel. It made me think, maybe all the buildings were pulled into Fromville first, like all the trinkets and cars are.
Dang this show is bringing all the emotion this year. Man Victors reunion with his Dad was great TV. Wow!
Now hopefully people will shut up about daily or weekly town meetings 😂
I was introducing the show to a friend, and we watched the first episode together. While watching, I noticed something interesting: just before they enter Colony House, the jock creature (Name he has been given on the From Wiki) asks Julie, "Don’t you recognize me?" This immediately made me wonder if that is meant to Thomas. The line felt more significant upon rewatching, especially now that we know about the phone calls Thomas has been making. It’s a small detail, but I think it’s worth keeping an eye on!
Things are heating up in Boydville.. I mean Fromville. Really liking this season so far. Can't wait for next episode and see what happens next in Boydville... Fromville Fromville I mean Fromville.
Lol Boydville, he did say it was his town. I was like when did it become yours🤔
@@LeaGholson-t6w it's always has been Boyd's. Don't you forget it😉
Is Victor onto something wanting to find Jasper? Did Fromville try to distract him by bringing his father to the town?
Your rant was so hilarious and satisfying! That town meeting was frustrating af.
Thanks for the amazing videos. You’re so humble . Best from theory creator 🥳
The bottle on the coffee table in colony house was used as a candle holder. A popular idea in the 60's/70s using wine bottles typically - god Im old lol
People still do this!😊
Jim sees no evil Hears no evil Speaks no SENSE If his role is to piss you off- job done! Far cry from his Pinnocio role in Once Upon a Time
This treatment of Tabitha is reminiscent of the witch trial and public suspicion I think will occur in the origin story.
I get the point of ppl asking questions about police - they are now desperate and think, she could just go there, ask about missing ppl and say that she knows where they are. But 1) c'mon, who would believe in town with monsters, 2) you can't just ask google maps to create a road to Fromville.
If town wants to solve the tree riddle they must collect all information, not just in fragments. Boyd also didn't talk a lot about his tree experience. They could invite Julie , because she also used the tree.
I'm disappointed about this whole meeting - instead of listening and asking right questions, they were just shouting.
Loving the longer videos!
Hey, so glad you MADE another video. This is the best commentary one can find for all things FROM. I LOVE IT! This is my therapy session- Have you ever heard of the show Talking Dead? It’s an after-show for fans of the Walking Dead. You would be great at interviewing the stars and analyzing the storyline! Plus, I would love to hear interviews from the writers., think about it! Fans could play quiz show games about your theories and win merchandising related to the From show- like a mini bottle tree, or a metal lunchbox via Victor. 😅😂 Thanks for your thoughts- it does my soul well
The moment they stepped into the basement I thought "Igor is gonna have field day here!" 😆
😄
Your rant about the town meeting was hilarious, because it was EXACTLY how I felt too!!!😂
😂😂😂 love your rants. Glad I stumbled on your channel!
One of my favorite channels on this topic. Thank you for the amazing content 🩷
Great video as always Igor. Doesn't the basement in Colony House where Julie and Elgin found the polaroid camera look like the same location in Victor's flashback of Christopher talking to Jasper. Likewise, the basement stone arches look like the arches of the Martin's dungeon. Lastly, the bicycle looks like the bicycle that Jade stole. Keep up the great work.
I think the numbers in the bottles are house numbers. I think that Tabetha went safely from the tree to the lighthouse and out because Victor gave her his lunch box and it had his house number written inside. Perhaps they need to have a certain destination and a house number to get out.
This by far is the funniest episode reaction I’ve ever seen! “Who are they gonna call? Sam and Dean Winchester?” 🤣🤣🤣 You were soooo pissed. 🤣
That George Carlin opening bit was brilliant.
that final scene actually disturbed me damn
Lowkey made my skin crawl
Scarred me
One major flaw is how not many people confront Victor and ask him you've been here the longest. What have you found out about this place?
All i've seen is people talk to him about stuff and he runs away.
Hopefully in the next season we see more of Victor putting pieces together instead of ignoring people and running away.
He's the most valuable and useless character in town lol
I think they are 3 bottle trees and the roots connect making the symbol he keeps seeing.
I think each dimension gets a Bottle Tree. Fromville, Camden, the Lighthouse are all in separate dimensions.
I think the four digit numbers inside the bottles are coordinates for the tree teleporter. Removing them moves the teleporter destination so the Tree no longer goes to the Lighthouse but into the pool wall.
@@jasoncaldwell5627or you can home with a “lost” item…maybe?
Omg I cried like a baby when Victor reunited with his father 😢 also could those number are coordinates? I also think the numbers Victor has written down could maybe be about the trees? Idk I remember he counts the amount of inches the trees move. Also I just gotta say Thank you because your videos are literally the best when it comes to discussing From.
I think exactly the same as you! Victor numbers have a map too with green triangles (trees) and the numbers inside bottles wore all out when dale enters the three so I think they are coordinates and victor knows more about the magic trees
Felt bad for Acosta, but I also thought it was ironic and funny how Boyd went nuts on her, when she was already very visibly guilty, then when Boyd admits guilt to Bakta, she's immediately there for him and he has support and understanding.
Feel he's gonna eventually come around and take her in under his wing. She's basically a female Kenny, just wants to help organize the town.
She offered to help. Boyd needs help but he pushed her away. I thought her plan was sound…it will have at least kept
Dale busy!
Her plan was solid too, Boyd should have everyone in town helping him with his "catch one of those monsters" project
The black thing looks like a “View finder” a toy that you hold up to your eyes like binoculars and you see cool 3-d pics of different animals, objects, people… usually Disney characters or similar One of my favorite nostalgic toys: Now, they sell them to look like it, but you can upload your own pictures to it- but , back in the day, you had these tiny, circular negative size inserts that fit them. Hold it up to the light, and you have a vivid, three D pic
I had one as a kid in the 60's
It is a Viewmaster. I still have the one I got for Christmas in the 60’s along with reels of the moon landing, TV shows and movies.
I got "Bambi" and "Cars" movie lol
I believe The Boy in White understands (or perhaps controls?) the faraway trees’ mechanics, and if he’s not involved in the usage of them in some capacity, the person who steps into one of them gets a Dale ticket.
The bottle tree is seemingly the only one that can potentially take worthy/invited people to the lighthouse, but there are other trees that took people to places where they were supposed to go too. How the numbers are connected to it, I really cannot guess yet, but I don’t think they are about that one specific tree, more like the trees in general. Trees and their roots are a huge theme in the show.
I don’t think the faraway trees are temperamental per se, we just don’t understand how they work yet. I should watch the whole series again to double check, but if I remember correctly, there was not a single instance when someone used a faraway tree (and lived to tell the tale) without the Boy in White’s interference or say so. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Thank you for mentioning they are married - so this is the last on screen moment she and her husband are in the same scene (unless Dale haunts Donna) and I believe FROM is the first thing they have been in together since the production where they met.
Ellis is so useless, but he tells Boyd that all he does is sit around? wtf
Subscribed! Love your deep dives!
Interesting note about seizures. They take place in your frontal cortex, which is also responsible for your emotions. So it seems like this place gives people seizures and effects to make them emotionally, weak and more vulnerable to the monsters.
LOL!!! This is the funniest recap that you've done to date, I was laughing my butt off! I so appreciate everything that you stated, and I felt the exact same way. Great recap/review, I can't wait for the next one. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This episode was jam packed! WOW! 🤯
Cannot wait to hear your theories on this! Now I watch ❤
We are never finding out what is outside the tiny cabins. 💯
What did they want Tabitha to do. Even if she got people to believe, help her, and return with them - How would the new arrivals help them get out? How can the police help them remotely?
that intro made me watch the whole video and like and subscribe, great job I love the way you analyzed the episode
Victor was measuring steps to trees from the old Mathews house. So, tree distance in steps difference is probably those plus numbers on the drawing.
I think the numbers at the tree are coordinates? Makes sense cus it takes you places and if you mess up… you end up half encased in cement.
22:17 the map you mentioned, Jade found the same box of blocks when he went into Victor's room,
Thank you for teaching us a bit about story writing! Yes I agree, I’m hopeful the creators will follow through with a storyline and complete some! I’m frustrated too!
I think maybe Victor was adding and subtracting his steps to reach the tree line? It does look like he drew trees right next to his equation… and its mentioned that the trees are “alive”
21:10 it’s a drawing of a bride monster in a white wedding dress with a veil that can be seen in episode 4 walking on her own in the dark woods
14:30 Nicky died so we could have the cannibal scene with Fatima. Also I was wondering if the bullet might have damaged Nicky's intestine so the blood was tainted with "wastes".
32:46 They are being stupid because if Tabitha had said something to the police and they believed her, she would have probably ended up being a test subject and not in any position to help Fromville people. Yes I watched X-Files a lot :D
44:50 It looks like some kind of crafting device, maybe a spinning wheel to make yarn.
48:00 We don't know if Julie's picture is normal, they start playing with it before they look at it, there still is a possibility for a weird thing on the picture.
1:03:14 I'm sure most of us and not only Boyd had this "told you so" moment. We just knew. Also I think the CGI is meant to look like that because it makes Dale's agony even more grotesque and horrific.
Tabitha could have told these things to her mom. Anything makes more sense than her lying saying they're all safe together
Tabitha also would've become a suspect in a potential murder case of her family, because where are they? and no a magic village filled with night monsters is not an answer.
She would have either been locked up in jail or a psychiatric institution tbh. She already had a police escort with her in the ambulance. So I also would not have said anything and just kept a low profile.
The first clips are EXACTLY how I felt watching the diner scene ! So frustrating!
Victor and his pops made me cry never cried so much in a show
I think we can quit it with the notion that Henry is a bad dude or hiding something.
The missing motel is kind of the elephant in the room. And we'll, Henry just said it. I wonder if it will be important.
You would think the town folk would be more cautious after surviving even a single night 8n Fromville.
I also have this notion regarding the numbers. What if they are the distance of the trees. The same numbers Victor had made his life work.
And did anyone notice the merry go round is in one of the images with a giant arrow pointing at it?
I have always been Team Henry. He never did anything that led me to believe he was an abusive jerk. He didn’t even move on…he could have married again and had kids…but he was devoted, poor guy. 😢 I would get so mad at people that said, oh Victor said no and ran because his dad was abusive…nope…Victor was just worried about how his dad would see him as a child-adult. Or that Miranda ran from him…I feel she was just taking the kids to school…hence the lunchbox. Why do people always assume the worst?
For me, when Henry commented about the motel, it was the writers placing the viewer in the story through Henry. He's like a tourist in Fromville, and saying out loud things many things we would have thought. I also sometimes wonder where is the water from the pool, and why isn't there random water and gunk at the bottom if it's drained and not maintained. I'd be interested to see if they use him to give us other answers.
Totally agree he's not a bad dude. He's got a great gentle energy and I think his presence will help Victor work through his trauma enough to figure out his past
I have never been more convinced that Victor mapped out the bottle trees and he made them.
Maybe- but there's a huge map on the rear of Victor's trailer that we need to see again.
If you follow Julie down the stairs of Colony House (21.44), the wall behind her has a large red stain (ripped wallpaper) with 2 holes that look like eyes. It looks like the red monster from the cave drawings. I can't believe it's a coincidence.
It’s funny how we all wanted a town meeting…then we got this!
@geekademy I really think something happened to Randall in his backstory that involves abandonment. If you think back to his first night in the bus, the monsters were talking to him and tapping on the door. Randall then started flipping out on them, and as he was talking they walked away. He started yelling at them not to walk away from him. When he yelled at Boyd it just made me flash back to that moment. I think the monsters are using that weakness to manipulate him.
Well, Ricky He did say we were gonna be bamboozled and then a little pissed about having to wait for an answer till the next season, so really excited to see what will turn my head around and increase my blood pressure 🤣
The map is the faraway trees and the places it takes you. Victor has been keeping track of the trees and where you end up. Also i believe in the finale of last season Jade saw the symbol and it work like a map of which trees lets you leave pike a subway map!
From is the stroy of the solar cycle begining in Aries, now we are at the winter solstice. It is all astrology and astronomy. I've also found the meaning of the numbers. It's significant in astrology:
Meaning of Seeing 2659
"If you keep seeing the number 2659, it is a message from the universe that you are on the right path. It signifies that you have the support and guidance of the spiritual realm as you navigate through life.
The repeated appearance of 2659 may also indicate that you are entering a phase of significant transformation and growth. Embrace change and trust that it is leading you towards a brighter future."
No one rants as good as us Slavs😂It felt so satisfying❤️
If we include quantum mechanics. The children watching the roots grown might have caused a constant collapse of the wave-function (somehow) and created the Fromville CTC paradox loop, now, evidently this is not a time related loop but only spatial loop. We also know that the lighthouse and dungeon are not accessible by normal means. Meaning they might be further loops. The faraway trees are redirectional cones within the anomaly loop. Imagine a circle and the cones dictate the directional curvature of the loop. Onces you move within a cone you are redirected wherever the cone goes. Thus they keep going back to the plac they began at. But that does not mean there can't be secondary cones that direct off the circle ind to other sub-loops, the faraway trees. The numbers in the bottles must have something to do with the state of the cones and how to redirect them.
Is it related to light? Boyd lighting the torch brought him back to the dungeon, but just when the torch was back to it's original state. Also the lighthouse is an important light source.
Or maybe its object related. There is a reason why the show has given importance to the objects in storage, in Vic's suitcase and Sarah's christmas ornament, in the cave and now under colony house. I can't help but feel like it's related to quantum states and the observer theory and how to collapse the wave-function into specific states. And these objects help collapse the function into certain states because of memories.
In quantum physics, a tree exists in every possible quantum state until it is observed. For example, a tree could be both fallen and not fallen at the same time. The outcome of the tree depends on the observer's observation. It is strange that the characters only enter the loop once they observe the fallen trees/roots and collapse that wave-function for that state. While the children observe the trees to make sure they remain in the not-fallen state, causing the loop. Bacause of this, it makes sense that the re-directional cone anomalies are within trees too.
How did someone in the times before Einstein figure out that continuously collapsing the wave-function would cause a CTC? IDK. Maybe it was a modern experiment (70's) and it caused a retroactive anomally.
If state-related, would placing the trees back in the not-fallen state be the solution, just like putting the torch back in the burning state caused a spatial change?
Well. It seems it might be a time related loop as well. While the show explained it in a methaphotical way, i did it scientifically.
Lets see where this goes. The dungeon seem to definitely be a subloop.
Unless Victor’s “sister” Elouise was just a parentless child that his mom took in and just told him to treat her like his sister. It’s not adding up. Because the dad didn’t even ask “what about Elouise?”. It’s weird!
Henry mentioned Eloise this episode.
Boyd's kid has some balls. All he does is get high and draw all day.
And screw his hot girlfriend and get stabbed.
Could be a worse life, honestly.
We need to look at Ellis' drawings and room.
Ellis has a pencil drawing of the glass from the Lighthouse on his wall.
The painting on the wall behind the bed is obviously Miranda's work- not Ellis'!
Whenever they say they need to tell people and get help. I wonder what exactly they expect the "help" to do? Do they worry that maybe they'll strand the "help."
You are tops in FROM content! Look forward to your videos every week
This series is so good for the right reasons, no matter how it ends up. Nothing is frustrating, behavior of characters is largely not blown out and exaggerated. Seems like they actually know how frustrating much of main-stream series are, therefore I always feel like every minute of each episode is worth the time. Just allowing the teenager girl and black dude to have a conversation and fun without escalating it for no reason shows some dignity from creators...
Now we see why colony and town are split… the town meeting didnt work 🤣😭
The town meeting wasn't useless to me as it was to make people understand that Boyd is there to keep them safe specially after what happen if you just go thru the tree. Is for people to trust and listen to Boyd.
I think you are right about Clara, Elton was in the house with her, but when juli comes in he is about to wack her! Clara was in there tormenting him, then she comes in late and not hearing the story but she is the loudest. she giving away herself...
I was so glad to see dale go, he was on my nerves so bad i was yelling at the tv lol
Experience has taught me that people generally do not listen very well at all. In fact, they are often distracted by other things in their minds, they can hear things that were not said, and interpret things in ways that are entirely opposite to what was said. When I was younger, this shocked me. Now that I am older, I anticipate it and take more steps to ensure instructions, or things I say, are heard and understood as they are intended.
Regardless, I was also frustrated by the town meeting scene. Writers get carried away with creating conflict and sacrifice smart characters to serve that conflict far too often. That kind of character inconsistency can ruin a show, story, or a character severely if it happens too frequently. I find this happens a lot more in modern television productions. I suspect it's because the writers come and go more frequently, especially if the show carries on for several seasons.
The worst part of the meeting was people not letting Henry finish what he was saying,cuz the whole victors mom story was so important ,that made me so angry !at this point this people doesn’t even deserve to know
55:18 To me, it looks like an old book with a title on the spine, not a journal. It would be cool if it was a journal though. I thought it might be the book Crumbs we saw before.
The only thing Tabby could have done better was to not freak out and cause the accident.
Otherwise she didn't have time enough.
If she had more time there, outside, she could have searched for other people who might have gotten out, together with Henry.
He was calculating the movement of the trees perhaps
I think that the numbers, on the map with the green triangles, are either the number of people who arrived and died or the distances that the trees have moved.
Also, I think that the numbers in the bottles are dates that people were teleported into Fromville. 2659 = February 6, 1959. The people would or should know the date that they disappeared.
Maybe the numbers in the bottle tree are coordinates, like the exact place on the map from where people come to fromville, or coordinates of where people who were chosen to come to fromville live
Other predictions:
1. There is a big bad that want to escape
2. To escape it needs certain actions from certain people
3. The goal is to make townpeople miserable so special ones (for sure Boyd, Tabitha and Jade, maybe someone else is also essential) need to break the curse that trapped BB (big bad) in this place.
4. BB has magical powers but not limitless. Monsters are its minions. BB can hear the conversations and looks at real world and it says stuff to monsters.
5. Boy in white is a BB or its minon. He is manipulation and putting pieces to places so he can get the result (breaking the curse).
He COULD tell Victor how to escape all these years thet they were friends, couldnt he? He does not want Victor to go.
6. Previous cycles were failed attempts.
7. Something went wrong the last cycle so the BB "reset" killing everyone. Or BB realised that it need one person like Victor to do something. Or actually last cycle people were close to break the curse. And Christopher actually saved lur world by sending monters to kill everyone.
8. BB cannot talk to monsters during the night. It only tells them stuff during the day.
9. There are also other monsters in fromville so BB needs to make people conditions bad but also keep most importa t ones alive so they will not stupidly die.
These are my thoughts
When we find out about what Jasper knows (In episode 9 or 10, lets be honest), well probably get info on Elloise. Theyre somehow connected, because her dissaperance and the massacre happened at the same time.
30:08 this scene and shot specifically messed with me, why have so much open screen space just for that empty chair next to Elgin. Was on edge because looked like kimono lady was gonna be sitting there, thay whole scene threw me off because felt like potential clues. Never got to see Julie's photo.
23:06 he’s counting how the trees moving, I think, the first number is where the thing used to be and +- is how much it move in one or other direction in relation to the trees new position
Yes, I just checked to be sure, it’s a view master . A view finder is part of a camera but I’m sure others used finder meaning master as that’s an easy thing to mistake.
Can’t wait till ep.6 . Hope they have more about the old village. Thanks again
I think the numbers on the tree are hotel or in this case, motel room number. The first number indicates de building or floor/1,2,3 and the next three numbers indicate the room itself. I thought about this because Victor's dad made such a big deal wondering where the motel is when stared at the sign and pool.
