Matt Zerella posted:I mean, she’s killed 2 rabbits like its nothing, theres a wolf flashback. IDK, maybe they get really good at hunting? O word, I wasn't making fun of you or nothing. You said it was just a tummy-feel guess and that's about as good as anything I've got is. I was making the "birthday cake" comment as a joke because it would be super lovely of the writers if they did actually set it up like that and it turned out to just be some random other meat. I like twists as much as the next guy, but straight up just lying to audience sucks and is dumb. Pulling stuff now that we have a thread : a new study bible! posted:I'm assuming the glint they notice from the lake was from a set of binoculars or something. Unless the glint was a reflection from a window or something, but from my experience a reflection of sunlight in the distance= a scope. Also, upon a quick rewatch, it appears to be moving and swelling a bit, so it seems unlikely to me that it was from a fixed object. Maybe I'm missing something? Lol, I'm with your wife, that girl is Jersey as gently caress. She couldn't do her state prouder if she was actively covered in petro-chemicals. I bet she has like 47 dirt bikes and drives them all like an rear end in a top hat. As to the glint going by reality, so who knows cause it's a show, but shining like that is just what reflective surfaces do from far away. The reason why a rifle scope or binoculars does that is cause it's a small object reflecting a long way off, so small movements (like your hand moving slightly) happen. But this also can happen with just wind or something and it could totally be a window or whatever. I get what you mean with the over-used cliche of a glinting scope though and I might be reacting so hard against it cause I hate that over-used trash. Looten Plunder posted:I agree the Lynskey affair plot is weak, but it's Melanie Lynskey so I don't care. She's awesome. 1)They were going after Travis, the older son of the coach back in 96 a.k.a. the latest in dangling barn ornaments 2) We are left to assume that, cause otherwise she's got a real thing going for Jeffs. 3) Yes, they are different people. Highly different people. Is anyone else constantly keeping track of that necklace in the back of their minds?

Looten Plunder posted:What did Jackie do to Vanessa in the first episode to make her pissed at her? I assume there was some sort of dodgy selfish act during the plane crash? Well in the opening of the second episode, Jackie left her to burn to death in a plane crash. I can see how that'd get someone's dander up.

coronatae posted:-Taissa's wife is a hallucination I kind of appreciate how stupid this one is as just a theory for the sake of having a theory. Taissa's wife has done nothing worth positing this, so you might as well just say any random poo poo is a hallucination while you're at it. Like, the plane being a figment of their imagination makes the same amount of sense. It wouldn't be a plot twist, it'd just be... some kind of bent thing no one cared about. (I look forward to saying equally dumb poo poo within the next week and getting roundly mocked.) So since I'm not the only one paying attention to the necklace, maybe it'll seem less weird that I'm doing it with just about every object that's a carry-over between the timelines. Like did anyone else notice that the hunting knife from the first episode is on the table in the cabin? Or the symbol on the tree had less negative space than the one on the postcard. A major part of the plot is that it's basically survival horror, so drat loving skippy I'm gonna be tracking every thing I can short of actually writing up a spreadsheet.

Looking forward to more tonight! Until further notice I’m making up dumb joke names to refer to the timelines, feel free to join me or not. The 1996 era is One Hot Minute cause that album has Aeroplane and ‘94 is close enough I was 6 deal with it. The Lady of the Flies cannibal fun-times are Mesquite Misty’s House of BBQ. The modern stuff is the one I’m least sure of cause it’s just now but it’s currently just Burp Sound Effect. I’m open to suggestions to refine my stupid joke names.

I got chainmail as a first thought, but that seems unlikely unless Laura Lee brought her armor of god lol. My next guess was some kind of aircraft netting, but all I know about that is “airplanes have some kind of metal netting, I think, maybe?” So please take your complimentary bag of rock salt with my conjecture.

angerbeet posted:Yay, there's a thread now They do? My Canada knowledge is minimal and all on the Eastern side, but I thought the plane went down in the Canadian Rockies so this would be British Columbia or Alberta? Did I make that up? As I said, my Canadian geography sucks, but the premise of the show is that they're flying from Jersey to Seattle, so if they went over Ontario they're taking a scenic god drat route. But even if that's correct, I've never been further West than Toronto so for all I know the forests are all date palms once you pass Winnipeg. coronatae posted:goddammit i snorted LOUDLY at my desk I greatest goal on the internet is to cause people to laugh at their screens and have to awkwardly explain it.

Canada yeah, sure, that makes sense. But Ontario is almost directly North. I can't believe I'm doing this, but here's the flight path. It's way South of Ontario. I don't actually, actually care. I'm just kind of befuddled because they could have chosen any places to crash at or fly-between and they picked weird ones. It's just a bizarre decision on the writers' part.

Hakkesshu posted:Can't believe no one has mentioned how loving awesome the intro sequence is Hey if that’s your opinion, go to town. I think it’s eminently forgettable and pretty bland. Not bad, of course, but it’s miles away from great opening themes like Deadwood. But I’m also ranking it against my dream version which is a grunge take on the soundtrack to Ravenous. Or a cover of grunge music by the guy who did Ravenous. Not that I don’t want it to be good. If I’m the lone weirdo and this is more popular it’s good for the show so fine by me.

veni veni veni posted:Can someone explain to me how putting a Walkman with nothing plugged into it into a bucket turns it into a bitchin sound system? A lot of walkmen (mans?) had a little external speaker, and if you put a small speaker in a metal concavity like a bucket or a bowl, it gets surprisingly loud. You're basically reflecting all of the sound waves in a concentrated, single direction so it works a lot better than you'd think with just a little effort. It's not gonna sound like that, of course, but the music was being edited in from a studio recording so of course it's not. You can actually do this with your phone as an experiment if you want. I know this because I listen to podcasts when I cook and stuff, and when my headphones broke once I got creative. I eventually found out that once I got the touch, my lovely little phone could play podcasts loud and crisp enough that I could hear them across the room even when I was using a stand mixer or taking a shower or something.

Comrade Fakename posted:I’d say that by far the most likely culprit for the murder and postcards is Natalie. She won’t be the girl eaten in the prologue, but she will appear to die but actually have survived somehow without the rest of the girls’ knowledge and is getting revenge. She’s one of the main characters and was conspicuous in her absence in the present day from the start, and since we’re now primed to assume she’s dead, it will be a twist if she isn’t. ...? Natalie, one of the four main characters in the modern day as portrayed by Juliette Lewis?

O okay. Word. That makes a lot more sense. Yeah, the show is currently leaving Jackie's fate very much ????? and I assume that's gonna be a major mystery going forward. There were a couple mentions in the last episode, but they very carefully didn't say any specifics, just lots of rephrases about "what happened to Jackie". Sorry if I insulted you or something, but I was really, really profoundly confused.

I don’t make long-term predictions cause I prefer to not draw hard conclusions from limited data (a.k.a. I’m a coward), but I wonder if the necklace thing might not be a red herring. It’d be low-hanging fruit to set us up with the idea that it’s Jackie’s necklace on the person who is killed at the beginning, and we’re playing this whole shells and pea game, but really the show was playing straight and Jackie bites it in the first 4 minutes of the show. It has a bluntness I like. Or Lottie’s a fuckin’ wizard or something idk.

Show owns bones. So far the main “criticisms” seem to be : 1) But what is the mystery?!?? What is going to happen on this mystery show about a mystery!?!? 2) O god, I hope this doesn’t turn into another Lost. I just want to love again, don’t hurt me. I’m firmly in the latter category, but the show hasn’t actually done anything to warrant it, so it feels kind of like recovering from bullying. Would recommend so far.

Word. Just making sure there wasn't a specific thing we were keying off and we're all just doing this on the principles of general suspicion. I'm gonna say that he's secretly the ghost wolf that Taissa keeps seeing. Not that he's like a werewolf. No, he just puts on a derpy little costume and growls outside her window sometimes.
