As someone who grew up in Tulsa, I’m glad to see shows discuss it. In high school, the massacre is not taught or even discussed. I had no idea it happened until I was like 24.
The 1st and only time in American history the U S military dropped bombs on American soil and they never mentioned that in Tulsa public schools??? this shyt crazy
Didn’t see anyone else say it so I will. The black family moving in wasn’t inspired by Leti buying the house. It was the beginning of “white flight”. Racism is more than just being mean, it has economic impacts as well. With Leti moving in into the neighborhood, the evaluation of houses in the area decreases because of the proximity to black people. So white folks start to move out, the house becomes more and more affordable and more black people move in. That’s why still to this day, the black side of a neighborhood is almost always separated from the white side by major roads or natural land marks. Learned this in college and see it in my home town
@@TangoNevada the black family that moved in across the street from Leti’s house that the whole gang saw when they left Hyppolite’s apartment. Black families couldn’t just move into a neighborhood then.
Leti survived the fall because Christina kept her promise to Ruby and returned Leti's invulnerability. They show this when Jiha goes through Christina's memories. Also, I don't think Christina killed Ruby, she might be in a coma in Christina's basement.
@@adb4056 Now keep in mind, alot of things that happened in the show is not in the book. Dont want you to expect the show in the book. Yes it has some points from the show, but its definitely different reading the book with a better ending. Dont want to spoil it for you
I also think Ruby alive, but not sure if she could still live not in coma. I hope so. But i can't find it in me to give christina credit for leti living through that. I think it was Ruby or someone else somehow.
@@constanttco7509 if it was only a one and done season it would have said series finale not season finale. The showrunners already said that they had plans for multiple seasons.
Paul although you may not fully understand the racial dynamics..it is sooo Important that you have Attempted to understand..that is needed so much today from the White Majority.
I agree. I've seen so many white people write it off, and calling the finale racist against white people. They refuse to try to understand those dynamics.
Thats why I watch this channel! The way you try to understand at least is good. But you're not American so I think that's why you see things differently. Thats a compliment!
Paul isn't white...he's English or Brittish or whatever they call themselves in the UK..."WHITEFOLKS" is an American concept and meant to enforce dominance thru a social class...its like when Alexander the Great was alive, he was Macedonian, not White...and whitefolks are not the majority on this planet...but whitefolks in America need more than understanding, they need to be PROPERLY AND TRUTHFULLY EDUCATED by their school systems, becuz they're being lied to by their own kind
I think there was a lot of symbolism that was overlooked. Tic being baptized before being sacrificed for his family and people is kinda close to symbolizing tic as a black jesus, in a sort of way.
Atticus and Hypolyta are old school Greek names. George and Diana are also Greek mythology. Lot's of Greek miscegenation happened in Sub Saharan Africa before, during and after colonialisation. I'm a 20th century product of Greek miscegenation in a land where the English and Irish were considered better because they were fairer.
My grandmama told me growing up that it ain't no such thing as a "Black Jesus"...becuz thats like 2000 yrs from now, ppl referring to MLK as the "Black Martin"...if u know wut i mean ✊🏾
I personally think Christina gave Letty the mark of Cain again because as she mentioned in the episode she feared of killing Tic (the last of her bloodline) off for nothing. She knows she has to kill Tic for her spell but so she still can have some family (which she finally understands the value of from the car ride as Ruby) she saves the baby with the spell also saving Letty in the process.
I think you missed a big point in Dee’s scene in the car...everything that happens has a point and she is reading an Excerpt from the book where she says blood other than Tic’s needs to be spilled...that’s why she goes back and kills Christina
@@BigDapPacino ehhh not really she was still invulnerable and immortal when that happened she didn’t really bleed as soon as she pulled the knife out the wound healed
Thanks for clearing that up because I wondered why would they make Dee the one who killed her! I struggle with Christina role as the villain because she wasn’t really a villain in my eyes! She keep every promise she made to them, she fell in love with Ruby, she showed remorse for maybe killing Tic for nothing if the spell failed! I don’t know, I almost hated to see her die!
@@divadee04ds no she was very passive and very selfish. Everything she did was to gain power and didn’t care who she had to hurt to her what she wanted
I think you forgot about earlier in the season, ruby told leti that “she’ll never sing that song” and in this episode, there she was.....singing it. That should’ve tipped off leti at least, 😆
@@lochofmceo she specifically says I know y'all don't want to hear that mess on the radio, sha-boom sha-boom sha-boring. Then Letty shouts out whole lotta shakin, which they then sing together.
It’s been a pleasure watching this season with your reviews. Poor Ruby & Atticus. Ironically if Christina wasn’t so obsessed with immortality she could have been accepted as family with Atticus & crew and their descendants white & black would have been a powerful dynasty.
@@ggu7r76g It was already too happy for Eldritch Horror. This show stopped being horror genre and became superhero genre about half way through. Not saying I didn't enjoy it, but it definitely left its Lovercraftian mood for a more high fantasy feel by the end. The ending felt more like a high budget episode of Supernatural.
Christina's ultimate goal was to be more powerful than the "WHITE MAN"...that is way more important than comin to the cook out and doin the electric slide wit some ppl at the bottom of the barrel...so u really can't blame Christina
what's interesting imo is that christina certainly sparks a conversation about feminisms from both sides, white and black. they both shared a common interest in proving their self worth and power but christina was willing to do at all costs including black women whereas Ruby wanted to empower black women without the need to step over white women??
Christina put the mark back on to her, keeping her promise to Ruby to not hurt her..This can be seen in her memories. I guess Christina kinda loves her.
yup but ruby still needed to be punished in her eyes for trying to betray her. christina is not a one-sided villain, which I love. because we see real life "villains" who loves their spouse or children but commit atrocious crimes
Make no sense for her to return the immortality mark given she tossed her off the tower anyway? To what purpose other than to cheat the audience with a fake out. Why would she leave the one person who could possibly stop her alive? Makes absolutely no sense.
@Future Society Of Gentlemen I dont think so, she genuinely cared for ruby, but obviously it was conditional. It was her "love" for ruby that was her downfall because she maintained the promise.
Did y'all notice that Leti & Ruby's mother's name was Eloise Baptiste🧐! Jurnee Smollett (Leti) starred in "Eve's Bayou" she played Eve Baptiste (Eve went to the witch doctor to get her daddy killed) a movie in the 90's , and their family name was Baptiste!! Her aunt was Mozelle Baptiste a known Psychic.
I had a feeling that there would be a Creole connection...there is no mention of who Leti's father is ?!? and why is her complexion is different from the Sister or Brother...her Mother knew a Voodoo Priestess!
I also want to applaud your dedication to educating yourself and learning more about black history here in America. Each of your reviews were really amazing and I always looked forward to your reviews/recaps each week. Great job sir!
Tic might not be dead. Before they left for Ardam, he specifically said there are multiple versions of earth and different realities. The Tic that was sacrificed might not even be our Tic.
I think this is one reality that had to happen for the greater good. Because I’m so lost on how they never spoken on Tic saving George, Montrose and Dora. How did that happen? How did he go to the past? Wouldn’t that create an alternate ending? I think they’re in a time loop. I hope this is not how it ends
I don’t think he is either. Remember in another episode tic got handed something with a robotic hand? Now we know that’s Dee I feel like that has something to do with it
I think he was lying to Montrose to get him to go along with their plan. He and Leti exchange a look in this scene and they both look sad, so I think they were hinting that he lied and Leti knows it.
The only time in the history of civilization that great grandparents, grandparents, parents, and all the children cud sit down together and all of whom are property to another family sitting somewhere else...that will cause trans generational problems and ECSPECIALLY when their history of Self-knowledge is completely deleted from their lineage...thats like if humans take all the lions outta free nature and cage them for 400 yrs, the nature of lions will never be the same
Not just trans trauma, black and also Asian I love this show HP Lovecraft would be turning in his grave if he saw what we did to his book with his racist ass
One of the biggest reveals in this episode is that Titus stole the book of names to begin with, which makes sense. I really hope we get another season.
The fires after failing the spell make sense too when you consider that Titus and his decendents all died trying to use that stolen power in a book that they couldn't read.
This was a great season definitely a 10/10 and I can’t wait to rewatch it all again. I loved this. I’m glad they uncovered the false history America portrays to cover up their horrific crimes. This was amazing
I think maybe Christina honoured Ruby's wish that Leti wouldn't be harmed and returned the spell? It could also be what you said, it wasn't exactly clear! I do think if there's a second season there'll be a time jump, maybe not as far though. The show is set in Chicago so maybe to the riots in 1968? Although in fairness they have plenty of injustices to choose from in America.
Gonna pin this as it’s probably me who’s wrong. I don’t get why Christina would give her it back and then try and kill her. Surely you remove it before you push her out the tower but 🤷♂️
I actually thought it was because Ruby who put the invulnerability spell on her with her dying breath. Rewatch the scene where christina gets stabbed by Letti during the ritual and there's a bunch of flashbacks. So while with Christina, Ruby learned enough magic to know how to make her letti invulnerable again. But I guess then the argument is: why didn't Ruby use her dying breath to make herself invulnerable instead? 🤔
@FarnsworthIII facts . She left dee just to go on some adventure because she wanted to be seen as more than just a mother or George’s wife . Typical liberal women
I find Christine to be an interesting character. She seemed to be a nice person to me but she was very ambitious and it didn't matter who was in her path. She loved exploring magic but ultimately became the villain.
The thing that separates Christina from the rest of the white people in this show is that she does not seem to exemplify racism against the protagonist merely because they’re black. Christina was not a racist, she was a woman hungry for emancipation, she has been denied and belittled by white men all her life. I think she actually have empathy, She sees Ruby as her equal, she never looked down at Ruby, because she knows how they both are familiar with being oppressed. Both wanting to have opportunities denied because of their identity. I never saw Christina as a villain, she saved Dee, resurrect Leti twice, saved both Leti and Tic from racist police. Christina was more of an ally than anything. Dee however is now fueled by pure rage, she barely even knew Christina, she didnt even hesitate to brutally killed Christina , Dee is a child and harbors so much hatred towards a whole race, i understand why shes mad, but Christina saved Dee an episode ago..Dee is gonna be evil
Just because she could have loved ruby, which to me is debatable based on her actions does not mean she wasn’t a racist. The mere fact she uses actual people as sacrifices makes her an amoral person and she use the advantages her race gives her throughout the entire show.. she was far from a good person. And just because you don’t believe in the delusional theories of racist does not mean you aren’t a racist because racism is a system and systematically Christina and any white peoples benefit from it. If people truly understood racism and how it effectively effects every aspect of our lives people would be less confused over rather or not Christina was a good person.
@@farhanrafi8481 Well if Dee knew that Christina would only help potentially save Dee's life only if Tic would come willingly to sacrifice his own... I'm sure that wouldn't sit well with her. "You want to kill one of my family members(and did) in order to save me?, and all these problems are the result of you and your family anyway." Oh she definitely had justification. I don't think Dee is evil and I don't think Christina was evil either.
Its the ancient age old question to humanity..."WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL" it all depends on one's personal life experiences and survival of the tribe
Can't thank you enough for this analysis series, you did such a good job breaking these down that even as a Black American myself I learned a lot and so did my family lol.
You did a great job analyzing these episodes. This show was amazing, so I am surprised that some of the other TH-cam analysts haven't covered this one. I will definitely be here for season 2. In the meantime, I will be checking out some of the other stuff on this channel!
Wow! What an ending to a great show! I was really hoping Tic would survive, but I understand his sacrifice, yet I still don’t understand why they made it so easy to get caught when they had the goddamn book of spells at their disposal. They could’ve easily laid protections spells and such on all of them and gone in guns blazing, plus Letty falling for her sister turning that fast was unbelievable. The moment she should up with the vial I new something was wrong.
Brother.....no one....and I mean no one does these lovecraft reviews better than yourself sir. Salute you and the time you put in to make your reviews as unbiased as possible. Excellent work brother!
Thanks for the breakdowns Paul, excellent work - it's such a great way to make that episode last just a little bit longer. Thoroughly enjoyed the insights and discussion! It will definitely be interesting to see which era the next season will pick up and which events in particular. If we assume that it will be when George is a grown man, it should be at the end of the 60s, beginning of the 70s, so civil rights era... I'm sure there are quite a few events from that time that also got swept under the rug of history and are well worth bringing into light again.
Honestly hated this ending Felt a bit too rushed/convoluted And the sound track/ music mixing felt like they were throwing together multiple themes and pieces. Liked the show and keep watching since the beginning for the interesting main plot. But I don't think the writers and directors cashed in on an amazing idea.
I agree. When watching the finale it felt like things were still evolving versus the culmination of all things laid bare. I watched it again and still felt things were happening that were unexplained. I wish we got Ruby's final choice shown and what the last words between her and Christina were.
I agree that the ending felt rushed and I feel it had too many endings. For the music: They were adding current music throughout the whole show so that part didn't shock or jolt me.
This first season sounds like an absolute thrill ride and your reviews of the eps. were always informative. It will be interesting to see what the second season has in store.
I think there's a big early hint that Ruby wasn't who she said she was because she is wearing Christina's typical style of hat that she's always seen in while riding with the family in Woody!!!
Loved this show. Ashamed it won't be renewed though. It was one of the most educational fantasy shows I've ever seen. I had no idea Sunset Towns were a real thing. It's a real eye opener.
Christina has proven to us that she “loves” Ruby. I put the quotes because I don’t even know what love means to Christina but she does exhibit “it” nonetheless. She killed her out of emotional rage I presume. “How could you betray me?” That sort of thing. I mean the lady literally allowed herself to get fucked up so she could try to feel what Ruby felt when Till died.
Let us know your thoughts on the finale and what your theories are. Thank you again for watching our videos and breakdowns. Much love and hopefully see you soon.
Letty got the mark of cane from christina as they show us from the ending ritual scene via kumiko's vision and atticus was reading the binding spell which letty received in the episode 9 to open the book..
We'll see Tic again...remember he had his whole adventure in the future...if we get another season I'm sure we'll get to see what happened, ending with Dee pushing him back through the portal with her robo-arm.
When black people moved to the white neighborhoods back then, it inspired "white flight". They didn't want to live near black people, and they took their wealth out to the suburbs. They often kept ownership of the property and rented it out. They became slumlords because they rarely visited the property until it was time to collect rent. This lead to the suburbs looking nice, their school districts having better education and the inner cities go downhill. I used to live in a house next to and older black woman, she said the whites offered her money for her home so that the neighborhood stayed whites only, but she and others refused and her white neighbors left the area.
I suspect that it was George who saved his mother, and that the child will grow up to be a powerful sorcerer. And I am hoping that Season 2 will include a flashback to how Dee got her arm: perhaps her own centuries with Seraphina, learning who she really is? That would explain why the happy, precocious kid seems to have suddenly become a cold-blooded murderer. And it would be really fun to see Tic's encounter with George in the future: it allows the character to return without cheapening his sacrifice.
I guess Christina did love Ruby. Also I think, as many others, this series finale was kinda rushed, for me, for episodes 1-9 Christina was more of a grey area character, and now this sudden jump to being a big bad. I was thinking they would defeat Christina enough to make her abandon her plans and someone from another Lodge, or Titus, would appear and they all would be forced to fight this new evil together.
1. Dee was talking about black people when she said "They still didn't learn" . Meaning they shouldn't have shown Christina mercy by leaving her alive, because some black people turn the other cheek to people don't deserve it. However... If she WAS referring to white people then she was most likely talking about the fact that white people have the audacity to kill steal and oppress then cry for help and forgiveness from us later. Either way it works out 2. I think Atticus is coming back somehow. And ruby is in a coma from the looks of the memories 3. Christiana was evil and if you looked at her ass anything other than such she fooled you just like Ruby. Even though she loved her. She loves power more.
THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For sharing your valued opinion and reviews of this very well done and so informative and so entertaining TV show . I learned so much from you, so many things I missed you helped point out, all very much appreciated. Will continue to follow and learn and learn from all your reviews. Again thanks and please stay safe
@@stephiybabii @Heavy Spoilers I think Ruby did it/ put the spell back, but it could have been christina, but i honestly feel she is too evil to do something that does not serve her directly
Stephanie Richardson unnecessarily rude. He put a lot of time and effort into creating these videos. With so much info, of course he would get some things wrong. Don’t be an ass
Your breakdowns are on a high level of informed and better than 99% of the academic instructors. This information is NOT taught in the USA school and the vast majority of people are purposely kept ignorant of these horrors that is called US American History. The only book that find is helpful is Howard Zinn's book "A People's History of the United States" which is not used in the vast majority of schools. His book really highlights history from the People's Perspective. So thank you for being open and able to research so much history for your reviews. The Context is important and so many refused to even believe what is in this series actually happened. There is a major denial in the Country. So thank you for really offering a deeper meaning to your reviews.
I hope I fall in love with another show that you review. It’s been a pleasure. Thank you for handling such racially sensitive material as eloquently as respectfully as you have.
Excellent job navigating this difficult matter, Definition. This brother appreciates and enjoys all of your content (been watching your channel for a while now).
Thank you so much for all the time and research you put into these. I’ve been enjoying your reviews since the beginning. I appreciate how tender you were with sensitive subjects. Can’t wait to enjoy the rest of your content!
I took the ending scene as if Dee might turn into a bad guy though? Only me? That lil girl had no buisness killing off Christina w her bare robotic hands somethings Off !!!
When she read the book in the car,she realized that Christina would have to die to disrupt the warlocks.That’s why she said ‘they still haven’t learned....(leti and everyone left Christina alive,assuming that Christina would stop seeking magic.) However,I hated that Dee was the one to kill Christina.
Oh no I get that but I still think it’s something more sinister that may happen. She was cursed & no one knows if that played a good or negative thing on her. She lost her whole arm 😭 she really may be on some evil shit but it can be nothing as well. Looking forward to see what they do with her character
@@RNM-bu4rj All that aside, was that really enough motivation for Dee to kill Christina? Like did she even know Christina or even had an encounter in the whole show?
This show was so perfect start to finish I honestly could do without a second season. But I’d be there for a second season if they choose to do one. With Jonathan Majors now being cast as Kang the Conquer in the Marvel MCU I don’t know if he’ll be in the show for long. I also liked they showed Leti falling off the tower and then cut to Dee reading the book. By the book not disappearing since Leti’s son wrote it told you she was going to live before they cut to her laying in the field waking up.
We do know how Lettie has the invulnerability spell. Christina puts the spell back on her. She told her that it can be used to heal in episode 8 at the church. You see her saying the spell at the top of the tower towards the end. It also shows that she is STILL keeping her word to Ruby.
Hey mate, literally just finished the season. Thanks for your breakdown, insight and sensitivity to the very real social/ historical aspects of the series. Respect ✊🏽
So many questions left unanswered for me? Did Christina sabotage her father's ceremony, cause that's the only her plan could move forward. Why was her spell so different from the one her father performed in the second episode? What did Leti say to Ruby at their mother's resting site?
Not in those exact words but you are right, everything was rushed, dialogues cut short, it felt like they are so eager to cut off loose ends and just get everything over with, characters just got along like magic, no further exploration of previous plots, not the finale I was waiting for.
I watched every episode because the production quality and acting were excellent. The Hippolyta episode was amazing and the Dee and Ruby episodes were creepy as hell, but overall I somehow just have a mediocre feeling about the show. It just seemed so rushed and some of the things they were spending so much time building up to just got discarded. For example, they spent so long talking about the missing pages only to find them and even saving the cursed woman guarding them in the process only to burn the pages and slash her throat. I understand the that during that time there was a lot of character development taking place but the journey they went on while developing the characters could have been literally anything if they were just going to destroy it and move on. Also, everything just seemed so loosely strung together including the entire Korean succubis story. It was another great episode, but it feels like it was duct-taped to the rest of the story.
Dee deserves better. How could the grownups just brought her along to a war zone, and left her in the jungle where they knew is filled with monsters at night. When all things were settled, the others just left without her. They just mistreated dee a few days before, and nearly got her killed. No wonder she turned violent in the end.
They left Dee with Tic’s Shogoth for protection. I didn’t see it as Dee turning to violence. She killed a future possible threat to her family. I see that as strength
Witnessing a child kill by her own will is a bit hard for me, even with all these heartbreaking and terrible events, including those really took place, that came before.
I literally said the same thing!! They knew about the monsters in the woods and left her there THEN at the end they just walked off like she wasn't supposed to be waiting in the car for them. If they thought it was so dangerous and no one was willing to stay in the car and protect her, they should have left her at home
You give the absolute best breakdowns! I appreciate the research you but into your videos it shows you care about the information you’re putting out. Now, I’m going watch the season finally of LCC.
Christina put the spell of invulnerability back on Leti after she fell. They showed this when Ji-Ah saw Tics and Christina's past actions flash before her
Calculus is an example of a concept that I don’t fully grasp but the more I “inform” myself I start to understand. When ppl say they don’t understand/can’t grasp topics on the black experience it kinda tells me that one doesn’t want to learn or try (if not actively seeking, or just leave it up to a tv show to learn about a snippet of a significant part of history)...
I liked the episode but some things didn’t sit right with me in the moment particularly the ending with Diana. Nonetheless This show was a horror/Sci-fi love letter to fans😂🙌🏿
I understand Ruby. She is a tired Black Woman. She didn't want to be white... she just thought she wouldn't have to work so hard. Ruby's family gave her nothing. Christina/William gave her everything not just a house, lights, water and gas... but they accepted Ruby everyway she was Black/White or covered in peeling flesh. That's why Ruby accepted Christina as a woman. Christina didn't trick Ruby into a coma. Ruby willing went into a coma because she wanted Christina to have her dream as twisted as it was.

She keep every promise she made to them, she fell in love with Ruby, she showed remorse for maybe killing Tic for nothing if the spell failed! I don’t know, I almost hated to see her die!
@@sabrinaalease When Cristina was stabbed there was a lot of blood. she still sheds blood the spells stopped her from dying.
@@divadee04ds no she was very passive and very selfish. Everything she did was to gain power and didn’t care who she had to hurt to her what she wanted
I feel sad for Montrose, him rewitnessing Tulsa, his lover's murder and now his son's death :(
I think you forgot about earlier in the season, ruby told leti that “she’ll never sing that song” and in this episode, there she was.....singing it. That should’ve tipped off leti at least, 😆
What ep
@@lochofmceo episode 1 actually, 😆. During the block party
@@lochofmceo she specifically says I know y'all don't want to hear that mess on the radio, sha-boom sha-boom sha-boring. Then Letty shouts out whole lotta shakin, which they then sing together.
i literally came here to point that out!
You’re right. Full fucking circle. Woooow. Good catch
It’s been a pleasure watching this season with your reviews. Poor Ruby & Atticus. Ironically if Christina wasn’t so obsessed with immortality she could have been accepted as family with Atticus & crew and their descendants white & black would have been a powerful dynasty.
Facts!!!!❤
The ending felt really sad, so much death! I wish there had been a happier resolution to the series. Overall still a great show!
@@ggu7r76g It was already too happy for Eldritch Horror. This show stopped being horror genre and became superhero genre about half way through. Not saying I didn't enjoy it, but it definitely left its Lovercraftian mood for a more high fantasy feel by the end. The ending felt more like a high budget episode of Supernatural.
Christina's ultimate goal was to be more powerful than the "WHITE MAN"...that is way more important than comin to the cook out and doin the electric slide wit some ppl at the bottom of the barrel...so u really can't blame Christina
what's interesting imo is that christina certainly sparks a conversation about feminisms from both sides, white and black. they both shared a common interest in proving their self worth and power but christina was willing to do at all costs including black women whereas Ruby wanted to empower black women without the need to step over white women??
Christina put the mark back on to her, keeping her promise to Ruby to not hurt her..This can be seen in her memories. I guess Christina kinda loves her.
yup but ruby still needed to be punished in her eyes for trying to betray her. christina is not a one-sided villain, which I love. because we see real life "villains" who loves their spouse or children but commit atrocious crimes
Yup- I also believe Ruby is ion a coma.
Make no sense for her to return the immortality mark given she tossed her off the tower anyway? To what purpose other than to cheat the audience with a fake out. Why would she leave the one person who could possibly stop her alive? Makes absolutely no sense.
@Future Society Of Gentlemen I dont think so, she genuinely cared for ruby, but obviously it was conditional. It was her "love" for ruby that was her downfall because she maintained the promise.
Maybe this comfirms that Ruby is dead since her dying wish would be to protect Letti.
Did y'all notice that Leti & Ruby's mother's name was Eloise Baptiste🧐! Jurnee Smollett (Leti) starred in "Eve's Bayou" she played Eve Baptiste (Eve went to the witch doctor to get her daddy killed) a movie in the 90's , and their family name was Baptiste!! Her aunt was Mozelle Baptiste a known Psychic.
I didn't even realize this, and I LOVE Eve's Bayou. Great catch!
Did you realize that Leti was wearing the same top that Lynn Whitfield wore in Eve's Bayou. Heard about it on the podcast.
Facts!!! Hunter got fans that’s been with her since the bayou frfr. She perfected them acting skills and never gives less than an A+ performance.
I had a feeling that there would be a Creole connection...there is no mention of who Leti's father is ?!? and why is her complexion is different from the Sister or Brother...her Mother knew a Voodoo Priestess!
@@omarmedina7156 I didn't even notice that!! I gotta go look! When this last episode?
I also want to applaud your dedication to educating yourself and learning more about black history here in America. Each of your reviews were really amazing and I always looked forward to your reviews/recaps each week. Great job sir!
Tic might not be dead. Before they left for Ardam, he specifically said there are multiple versions of earth and different realities. The Tic that was sacrificed might not even be our Tic.
Ooooh snap
I think this is one reality that had to happen for the greater good. Because I’m so lost on how they never spoken on Tic saving George, Montrose and Dora. How did that happen? How did he go to the past? Wouldn’t that create an alternate ending? I think they’re in a time loop. I hope this is not how it ends
Tic also said this is one potential future..
I don’t think he is either. Remember in another episode tic got handed something with a robotic hand? Now we know that’s Dee I feel like that has something to do with it
I think he was lying to Montrose to get him to go along with their plan. He and Leti exchange a look in this scene and they both look sad, so I think they were hinting that he lied and Leti knows it.
Personally, I think the show did a good job of portraying transgenerational trauma.
lovecreaft.. black asain.. bi.... oh well... HBO.
Yup!!
The only time in the history of civilization that great grandparents, grandparents, parents, and all the children cud sit down together and all of whom are property to another family sitting somewhere else...that will cause trans generational problems and ECSPECIALLY when their history of Self-knowledge is completely deleted from their lineage...thats like if humans take all the lions outta free nature and cage them for 400 yrs, the nature of lions will never be the same
Yes it really did
Not just trans trauma, black and also Asian I love this show HP Lovecraft would be turning in his grave if he saw what we did to his book with his racist ass
One of the biggest reveals in this episode is that Titus stole the book of names to begin with, which makes sense. I really hope we get another season.
I’m sure Yahima hinted at it when they were talking about the translations
The fires after failing the spell make sense too when you consider that Titus and his decendents all died trying to use that stolen power in a book that they couldn't read.
It stated it in the show.
@@vingram100 totally
I caught that too. I hadnt seen many people mention it. I think it got lost in the sauce but I thought that was hella important to note
This was a great season definitely a 10/10 and I can’t wait to rewatch it all again. I loved this. I’m glad they uncovered the false history America portrays to cover up their horrific crimes. This was amazing
I totally agree and cannot wait to rematch it also....
Episode 2 was definitely the worst episode in my opinion
@@rgkong8783 100 agree...episode 2 almost made cancel my AT&T/HBO/MAX/COMEDY CENTRAL/ADULT SWIM/NBC/GENERAL ELECTRIC subscription
Does anyone remember Christina telling Lettie that the invulnerability can also heal ??? In the church.....right after she initially gave it to her 👀
I think maybe Christina honoured Ruby's wish that Leti wouldn't be harmed and returned the spell? It could also be what you said, it wasn't exactly clear!
I do think if there's a second season there'll be a time jump, maybe not as far though. The show is set in Chicago so maybe to the riots in 1968? Although in fairness they have plenty of injustices to choose from in America.
Gonna pin this as it’s probably me who’s wrong. I don’t get why Christina would give her it back and then try and kill her. Surely you remove it before you push her out the tower but 🤷♂️
@@heavyspoilers thanks! It could be a number of things though in fairness 😅
It was apart of the flashes when jiha was connected to Tic and Christina it was a quick scene
I actually thought it was because Ruby who put the invulnerability spell on her with her dying breath. Rewatch the scene where christina gets stabbed by Letti during the ritual and there's a bunch of flashbacks. So while with Christina, Ruby learned enough magic to know how to make her letti invulnerable again.
But I guess then the argument is: why didn't Ruby use her dying breath to make herself invulnerable instead? 🤔
Christina as ruby after the fight with letti returned it
This show was absolutely phenomenal. Your recaps have been stellar and beneficial to unraveling parts that aren’t 100% clear. Thank you!
the line about the fire being the embodiment of hannah’s rage is important, it calls back to the poem in episode 9 Catch The Fire by Sonia Sanchez
Impressive that you got this done so soon after this episode. I like your breakdown. Shows me that I overlooked a few things. Thanks for this.
I loved this show. So cool to see Black people in this type of setting. Such a well written and acted show.
Hippolyta’s biggest sacrifice was returning in the first place. And the Life Would Be a Dream sequence reminded me of the Almost Famous bus scene.
@FarnsworthIII nah.
@FarnsworthIII Incel? Sucks to be you.
@FarnsworthIII facts . She left dee just to go on some adventure because she wanted to be seen as more than just a mother or George’s wife . Typical liberal women
I haven't been entertained like that in a while I overjoyed Lovecraft Country
Excellent finale!!! Excellent breakdown!!! Excellent Monday!!!
meh..
Thanks
I find Christine to be an interesting character. She seemed to be a nice person to me but she was very ambitious and it didn't matter who was in her path. She loved exploring magic but ultimately became the villain.
The thing that separates Christina from the rest of the white people in this show is that she does not seem to exemplify racism against the protagonist merely because they’re black. Christina was not a racist, she was a woman hungry for emancipation, she has been denied and belittled by white men all her life. I think she actually have empathy, She sees Ruby as her equal, she never looked down at Ruby, because she knows how they both are familiar with being oppressed. Both wanting to have opportunities denied because of their identity. I never saw Christina as a villain, she saved Dee, resurrect Leti twice, saved both Leti and Tic from racist police. Christina was more of an ally than anything. Dee however is now fueled by pure rage, she barely even knew Christina, she didnt even hesitate to brutally killed Christina , Dee is a child and harbors so much hatred towards a whole race, i understand why shes mad, but Christina saved Dee an episode ago..Dee is gonna be evil
@@farhanrafi8481 she did not she Ruby as an equal. She told her this in episode 7
Just because she could have loved ruby, which to me is debatable based on her actions does not mean she wasn’t a racist. The mere fact she uses actual people as sacrifices makes her an amoral person and she use the advantages her race gives her throughout the entire show.. she was far from a good person. And just because you don’t believe in the delusional theories of racist does not mean you aren’t a racist because racism is a system and systematically Christina and any white peoples benefit from it. If people truly understood racism and how it effectively effects every aspect of our lives people would be less confused over rather or not Christina was a good person.
@@farhanrafi8481 Well if Dee knew that Christina would only help potentially save Dee's life only if Tic would come willingly to sacrifice his own... I'm sure that wouldn't sit well with her. "You want to kill one of my family members(and did) in order to save me?, and all these problems are the result of you and your family anyway." Oh she definitely had justification. I don't think Dee is evil and I don't think Christina was evil either.
Its the ancient age old question to humanity..."WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL"
it all depends on one's personal life experiences and survival of the tribe
Can't thank you enough for this analysis series, you did such a good job breaking these down that even as a Black American myself I learned a lot and so did my family lol.
Season 2 hype is real, baby!!!
I've really enjoyed your breakdowns of this and the boys. Thank you for taking the time to do this
No problem, thanks for the comment
You did a great job analyzing these episodes. This show was amazing, so I am surprised that some of the other TH-cam analysts haven't covered this one. I will definitely be here for season 2. In the meantime, I will be checking out some of the other stuff on this channel!
Woo hoo! I've been looking forward to this.
Hope you enjoy it
Wow! What an ending to a great show! I was really hoping Tic would survive, but I understand his sacrifice, yet I still don’t understand why they made it so easy to get caught when they had the goddamn book of spells at their disposal. They could’ve easily laid protections spells and such on all of them and gone in guns blazing, plus Letty falling for her sister turning that fast was unbelievable. The moment she should up with the vial I new something was wrong.
Touching wrap-up at the end. I get the sense that this was a profound viewing experience for you. It was for me, too.
Brother.....no one....and I mean no one does these lovecraft reviews better than yourself sir. Salute you and the time you put in to make your reviews as unbiased as possible. Excellent work brother!
Thanks for the breakdowns Paul, excellent work - it's such a great way to make that episode last just a little bit longer. Thoroughly enjoyed the insights and discussion! It will definitely be interesting to see which era the next season will pick up and which events in particular. If we assume that it will be when George is a grown man, it should be at the end of the 60s, beginning of the 70s, so civil rights era... I'm sure there are quite a few events from that time that also got swept under the rug of history and are well worth bringing into light again.
Thank you! Always worry I end up making videos almost as long as the episodes themselves so glad you enjoy em. I can definitely see a time jump
I so very much appreciate you taking the time to learn more and more each week of this show. You really delivered great reviews/breakdowns.
Honestly hated this ending
Felt a bit too rushed/convoluted
And the sound track/ music mixing felt like they were throwing together multiple themes and pieces.
Liked the show and keep watching since the beginning for the interesting main plot. But I don't think the writers and directors cashed in on an amazing idea.
I agree.
That first rap song was soooooo ass...
@@justinwalker2460 i get that they tried to build hype. But idk whos smart idea it was to put current rap in a show set in the 60s
I agree. When watching the finale it felt like things were still evolving versus the culmination of all things laid bare. I watched it again and still felt things were happening that were unexplained. I wish we got Ruby's final choice shown and what the last words between her and Christina were.
I agree that the ending felt rushed and I feel it had too many endings.
For the music: They were adding current music throughout the whole show so that part didn't shock or jolt me.
This first season sounds like an absolute thrill ride and your reviews of the eps. were always informative. It will be interesting to see what the second season has in store.
The artist hippy said taught her is to draw is actually a comic book artist for marvel and black panther 😊
I just finished the episode. Came straight here. Gonna miss your breakdowns. Thanks for all your hard work.
I think there's a big early hint that Ruby wasn't who she said she was because she is wearing Christina's typical style of hat that she's always seen in while riding with the family in Woody!!!
Plus Ruby said she hated that song they were singing in car
Loved this show. Ashamed it won't be renewed though. It was one of the most educational fantasy shows I've ever seen. I had no idea Sunset Towns were a real thing. It's a real eye opener.
Christina has proven to us that she “loves” Ruby.
I put the quotes because I don’t even know what love means to Christina but she does exhibit “it” nonetheless.
She killed her out of emotional rage I presume.
“How could you betray me?”
That sort of thing.
I mean the lady literally allowed herself to get fucked up so she could try to feel what Ruby felt when Till died.
Thank you for correctly and respectful covering this show. I'm glad I subscribed ♥️
Let us know your thoughts on the finale and what your theories are. Thank you again for watching our videos and breakdowns. Much love and hopefully see you soon.
batshit story....
Letty got the mark of cane from christina as they show us from the ending ritual scene via kumiko's vision and atticus was reading the binding spell which letty received in the episode 9 to open the book..
Lettie really did get burned on set in episode 9. ✔ her IG page
If Letti had learned how to put the mark of Cain back on herself, there's no way she wouldn't have also put it on Tic and probably everyone else, too.
This has been a great breakdown series! I can tell you’ve learned a lot about the racism and oppression that happened.
I'm very late but just want to say a big Thank You for your analysis! I could not have truly grasped the show without you. Well done!!
They can bring him back right I cried so hard
my favorite episode is rewind 1921 and that scene with the poem by sonia sanchez "where is your fire" was such a powerful goosebumpy scene
Phenomenal show, I really hope it gets a second season
Can’t wait for season Twoo
Can't wait to see Jonathan as Kang!!!
We'll see Tic again...remember he had his whole adventure in the future...if we get another season I'm sure we'll get to see what happened, ending with Dee pushing him back through the portal with her robo-arm.
When black people moved to the white neighborhoods back then, it inspired "white flight". They didn't want to live near black people, and they took their wealth out to the suburbs. They often kept ownership of the property and rented it out. They became slumlords because they rarely visited the property until it was time to collect rent. This lead to the suburbs looking nice, their school districts having better education and the inner cities go downhill. I used to live in a house next to and older black woman, she said the whites offered her money for her home so that the neighborhood stayed whites only, but she and others refused and her white neighbors left the area.
Bro I just realized the lady with the metal arm that gave tic the book and pushed him back in the portal was dee😱😱
I suspect that it was George who saved his mother, and that the child will grow up to be a powerful sorcerer. And I am hoping that Season 2 will include a flashback to how Dee got her arm: perhaps her own centuries with Seraphina, learning who she really is? That would explain why the happy, precocious kid seems to have suddenly become a cold-blooded murderer. And it would be really fun to see Tic's encounter with George in the future: it allows the character to return without cheapening his sacrifice.
I guess Christina did love Ruby. Also I think, as many others, this series finale was kinda rushed, for me, for episodes 1-9 Christina was more of a grey area character, and now this sudden jump to being a big bad. I was thinking they would defeat Christina enough to make her abandon her plans and someone from another Lodge, or Titus, would appear and they all would be forced to fight this new evil together.
1. Dee was talking about black people when she said "They still didn't learn" . Meaning they shouldn't have shown Christina mercy by leaving her alive, because some black people turn the other cheek to people don't deserve it. However... If she WAS referring to white people then she was most likely talking about the fact that white people have the audacity to kill steal and oppress then cry for help and forgiveness from us later. Either way it works out
2. I think Atticus is coming back somehow. And ruby is in a coma from the looks of the memories
3. Christiana was evil and if you looked at her ass anything other than such she fooled you just like Ruby. Even though she loved her. She loves power more.
THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For sharing your valued opinion and reviews of this very well done and so informative and so entertaining TV show . I learned so much from you, so many things I missed you helped point out, all very much appreciated. Will continue to follow and learn and learn from all your reviews. Again thanks and please stay safe
Christina said the invulnerability spell while she pushed leti over the edge to keep her promise to ruby to not hurt her sister.
Love your breakdowns, they have done a great job with this show.
It seems you're watching all the episodes very carefully.
Very, lots of stuff I don’t wanna get wrong
@@heavyspoilers not carefully enough.
Christina gave the mark back.
Dee said THEY don’t learn.
Subtitles are our friends.
@@stephiybabii 😂
@@stephiybabii @Heavy Spoilers I think Ruby did it/ put the spell back, but it could have been christina, but i honestly feel she is too evil to do something that does not serve her directly
Stephanie Richardson unnecessarily rude. He put a lot of time and effort into creating these videos. With so much info, of course he would get some things wrong. Don’t be an ass
Always looked forward to your recaps of this show! Great job!!
Firstly I want that shoggoth monster and that mechanical arm. Secondly those dancing twins scared the living shit outta me
Your breakdowns are on a high level of informed and better than 99% of the academic instructors. This information is NOT taught in the USA school and the vast majority of people are purposely kept ignorant of these horrors that is called US American History. The only book that find is helpful is Howard Zinn's book "A People's History of the United States" which is not used in the vast majority of schools. His book really highlights history from the People's Perspective. So thank you for being open and able to research so much history for your reviews. The Context is important and so many refused to even believe what is in this series actually happened. There is a major denial in the Country. So thank you for really offering a deeper meaning to your reviews.
I hope I fall in love with another show that you review. It’s been a pleasure. Thank you for handling such racially sensitive material as eloquently as respectfully as you have.
No problem, thanks for the comment
You’re the MVP. Best reviews on TH-cam. Thanks and hope to see you with millions of subscribers.
Thank you 🙏
Circles have no points... best jokes on TH-cam folks!
Excellent job navigating this difficult matter, Definition. This brother appreciates and enjoys all of your content (been watching your channel for a while now).
And that's how Black Magic came to be.
Thank you so much for all the time and research you put into these. I’ve been enjoying your reviews since the beginning. I appreciate how tender you were with sensitive subjects. Can’t wait to enjoy the rest of your content!
🙌🙌🙌
I took the ending scene as if Dee might turn into a bad guy though? Only me? That lil girl had no buisness killing off Christina w her bare robotic hands somethings Off !!!
When she read the book in the car,she realized that Christina would have to die to disrupt the warlocks.That’s why she said ‘they still haven’t learned....(leti and everyone left Christina alive,assuming that Christina would stop seeking magic.)
However,I hated that Dee was the one to kill Christina.
Oh no I get that but I still think it’s something more sinister that may happen. She was cursed & no one knows if that played a good or negative thing on her. She lost her whole arm 😭 she really may be on some evil shit but it can be nothing as well. Looking forward to see what they do with her character
@@RNM-bu4rj All that aside, was that really enough motivation for Dee to kill Christina? Like did she even know Christina or even had an encounter in the whole show?
I took the ending the same way. My I tail
Thought was D becoming the new villain.
Nah, she is unapologetic in killing the problem at the source.
You're the best! Thx for all that you've done!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great breakdown and Epic episode! Really they come back for a season 2 and find a way to revive Tic!
Thanks for your review!!! This was absolutely awesome commentary.
This show was so perfect start to finish I honestly could do without a second season. But I’d be there for a second season if they choose to do one. With Jonathan Majors now being cast as Kang the Conquer in the Marvel MCU I don’t know if he’ll be in the show for long.
I also liked they showed Leti falling off the tower and then cut to Dee reading the book. By the book not disappearing since Leti’s son wrote it told you she was going to live before they cut to her laying in the field waking up.
I very much appreciated your interpretations every week. I waited for them. Thank you!!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️this show is such an emotional roller coaster for me
You’re recaps are always the best. Fan since your Watchmen recaps. Thanks for all you do
We do know how Lettie has the invulnerability spell. Christina puts the spell back on her. She told her that it can be used to heal in episode 8 at the church. You see her saying the spell at the top of the tower towards the end. It also shows that she is STILL keeping her word to Ruby.
Hey mate, literally just finished the season. Thanks for your breakdown, insight and sensitivity to the very real social/ historical aspects of the series. Respect ✊🏽
So many questions left unanswered for me? Did Christina sabotage her father's ceremony, cause that's the only her plan could move forward. Why was her spell so different from the one her father performed in the second episode? What did Leti say to Ruby at their mother's resting site?
Yeah, in the book she/he pretty much set it up so that Samuel would die so that Caleb could take over the lodges
@@heavyspoilers thank you, I'll be getting the book very soon.
Loved your analysis! Thank you so so much!
Hated this episode. It should have been 2 hours long and should have made a better attempt at closing all the other great episodes out. Booooo!!!
Hey, why don't you start your own show?
@@Charmedsas1 if you play the mascot. Back that shit down. U know they slapped this episode together like a cold sandwich.
@@sonyasays7538 I mean millions of people still like cold sandwiches babe
@@mynameisuju not the kind made w the butt ends.
Not in those exact words but you are right, everything was rushed, dialogues cut short, it felt like they are so eager to cut off loose ends and just get everything over with, characters just got along like magic, no further exploration of previous plots, not the finale I was waiting for.
Great breakdown at usual....please keep it up Paul... Love the content
I watched every episode because the production quality and acting were excellent. The Hippolyta episode was amazing and the Dee and Ruby episodes were creepy as hell, but overall I somehow just have a mediocre feeling about the show. It just seemed so rushed and some of the things they were spending so much time building up to just got discarded. For example, they spent so long talking about the missing pages only to find them and even saving the cursed woman guarding them in the process only to burn the pages and slash her throat. I understand the that during that time there was a lot of character development taking place but the journey they went on while developing the characters could have been literally anything if they were just going to destroy it and move on. Also, everything just seemed so loosely strung together including the entire Korean succubis story. It was another great episode, but it feels like it was duct-taped to the rest of the story.
Well said 👍
I would have not understood this show as much without your insights. I think we’ve all grown because of it! Thank you 😊
Dee deserves better.
How could the grownups just brought her along to a war zone, and left her in the jungle where they knew is filled with monsters at night. When all things were settled, the others just left without her. They just mistreated dee a few days before, and nearly got her killed.
No wonder she turned violent in the end.
They left Dee with Tic’s Shogoth for protection. I didn’t see it as Dee turning to violence. She killed a future possible threat to her family. I see that as strength
Witnessing a child kill by her own will is a bit hard for me, even with all these heartbreaking and terrible events, including those really took place, that came before.
I literally said the same thing!! They knew about the monsters in the woods and left her there THEN at the end they just walked off like she wasn't supposed to be waiting in the car for them. If they thought it was so dangerous and no one was willing to stay in the car and protect her, they should have left her at home
@@NoirValkyrie She had a shogoth to protect her, Tic would be alive if that same shogoth was protecting him.
You give the absolute best breakdowns! I appreciate the research you but into your videos it shows you care about the information you’re putting out. Now, I’m going watch the season finally of LCC.
I'm miffed at Tic's final fate. And I'm confused on how Leti got resurrected.
Still, thanks for the recap. Hopefully, there's Season 2.
Christina put the spell of invulnerability back on Leti after she fell. They showed this when Ji-Ah saw Tics and Christina's past actions flash before her
@@respektmyname15 Thanks for replying. Will watch the replay.
Calculus is an example of a concept that I don’t fully grasp but the more I “inform” myself I start to understand. When ppl say they don’t understand/can’t grasp topics on the black experience it kinda tells me that one doesn’t want to learn or try (if not actively seeking, or just leave it up to a tv show to learn about a snippet of a significant part of history)...
Ruby could still be alive just in a coma. Hypolyta might've studied medicine in her 200 years.
Your powers of observation are quite impressive. Another great video.
I liked the episode but some things didn’t sit right with me in the moment particularly the ending with Diana. Nonetheless This show was a horror/Sci-fi love letter to fans😂🙌🏿
I understand Ruby. She is a tired Black Woman. She didn't want to be white... she just thought she wouldn't have to work so hard. Ruby's family gave her nothing. Christina/William gave her everything not just a house, lights, water and gas... but they accepted Ruby everyway she was Black/White or covered in peeling flesh. That's why Ruby accepted Christina as a woman. Christina didn't trick Ruby into a coma. Ruby willing went into a coma because she wanted Christina to have her dream as twisted as it was.
Are we still not gonna talk about the moving Creme of Wheat mural eyes moving in Episode 8??
I think I saw somewhere that the spell Lancaster had put on her made paintings do that. Think I saw it in a comment from that episode on this channel
