re: "FROM" on EPIX

Im glad that priests backstory didn’t go the way I thought it was. Good arc for him.

I enjoyed this episode. Some good action

I watched E7 last night.....























The monsters are so strange. Like when that nerd lets in that hot monster and she (obviously) kills him, she opens the window and the monsters just stroll around the house casually not really trying to kill anyone. The people in the house are running around all crazy when all they really have to do is go outside and walk briskly and they'll be fine.

I am interested to see where the story goes now that the house people are in town.

So Victor had shown Ethan the special trees that you could drop a rock into and it landed further away. And now he takes Julie to one and puts her in the tree and she ends up in a special room? I assume that was the same basement thing that Jade found in the woods that one day?

It was also a little strange to see Julie, who I believe is 14, asking Fatima to kiss her.

I am hoping that now that the community is sort of forced together (even though I suspect the house people will go back there at some point), that the story can move forward. I really want to see what Boyd can find if he ventures out into the night with the talisman.

Sucks to see Father Khatri go. His character was interesting, and I wanted to see him flesh out things with Sara more. But at least he seems to have convinced Boyd a little bit in her potential importance.

So it looks like Jim wants to build a big tower to try to antenna on. I wonder if the season will end with a cliffhanger that he gets some sort of message on it (as opposed to just static). Or maybe even something weird, like we learn there are multiple other places like this that exist.

Still digging the show a lot though.

Good episode tonight. Finally got to see the story of why Boyd and his son are at odds. Penultimate episode next week, so some shite is probably going down.

Finished E8. Fantastic episode.

I love all of the parent/kid stuff. Maybe it resonates more with me now that I have a kid. But it was great.

Holy shite, Abby. Did not see that coming. Wow. That was a great scene. And I agree that seeing what caused conflict between Boyd and Ellis was nice to see. And man, putting your wife down before she could kill your son. Brutal.

And Boyd yelling about his son gave me some mad LOST flashbacks.

I like that we see how the talismans were found. Also like that we didn’t get a full explanation on them, but we at least see how they came about.

I’m interested to see what comes of this antenna idea on top of colony house. They seem to be pushing that as a pretty major play. Hope it’s not just a dead end, and it feels like a good cliffhanger for them to hear something on the CB.

That was a GREAT scene between Boyd and Ellis.

We need some more Victor info/history. I wonder if he could be the key to it all since he can see the boy in white during the day and seems to know lots of secrets about this place. And I know Ethan can see the kid too, but Victor has been there forever (since he was a kid apparently).

I'm guessing maybe they can get in your head somehow and influence your thinking, like if you start talking to them.

That’s exactly what it was. Or maybe not even sex specifically, but he was obviously a beta nerd type. So any female attention resonates deeply with him. And the monster exploited that.

He even knew he wasn’t supposed to let her in, but he bought into the flirty bullshite from a monster. Even in ghost/monster land, pussy is undefeated.

At first I thought the opening scene of the series (when the little girl let the old lady in) was the girl’s grandmother. But it ended up not being that. I just thought I remembered her saying something like that or calling her a familiar grandma type name.

Yeah, seems like it was something like that. Weirdly, I cannot find that opening scene (video) on the internet right now. So I may try to watch it again later when I am at home to see exactly what she says.

And I don't know if the monsters :get inside your head" as much as they are just very convincing. Like tricking a child to let in an old grandmotherly lady. Or tricking a beta nerd to let in a hot chick. I don't think they are actually vampires, although some of their mysticism seems to be similar (like having to be invited/let in, for example).

Any idea if these episodes will ever be free on Amazon/Hulu?

I can't bring myself to sign up for another damn paid channel. Was hoping it would work with directv login, but it doesn't. I'm stuck at Episode 3.
