re: FROM (MGM+) SEASON 4 OFFICIAL DISCUSSION THREAD (This show needs watchers!)

They send an email out when it drops on MGM plus and we don’t have much patience

In the middle of a move so we can watched it on an iPad half awake, prob will rewatch once we are settled in

Tabitha is Victor’s sister, so it is safe to say she and Julie have a connection.

That hasn’t been confirmed at all. And more than that, Tabitha is technically his mother, right (or was in some iteration of her being in this Township)?



Slow episode tonight.

Jade is 100% right with Boyd. Why the frick would you go down the path of the mushrooms and then not believe or not be onboard with what Jade actually saw/found out? It’s a waste of time otherwise.

“At some point something’s gonna give, something’s gonna change. You’re gonna lose this whole fricking town.” Mass casualty incoming?

Have we seen anything with the Boyd/Parkinson’s stuff lately? That seemed to be fairly important and then forgotten.

Obviously there’s gonna be a tunnel behind the wall in the basement.

MiY came in a big brown car.

The talisman stick thing (totem) was how Tabitha killed the doll.

Roger’s face was sewn back together. And huge buttons on his eyes like the dolls. Wtf?

“Our fears become part of the forest.” That’s something we’ve talked about before and I’ve brought up several times. And specifically, the people who die here. That’s a huge piece of information.

What a shitty way for Donna to die (if she does). I do love that Kristi hit her a few times with the defibrillator and then called it quits after about 45 seconds.

Oh let’s all fricking bend over backwards for that little frick Ethan just to appease that twerp. It’s not like there isn’t important shite going on and we need to keep kids out of there.

So MiY is trying to get Henry to drink its blood. I wonder if it’s similar to Martin and the whole “blood of my blood” thing.

Julie’s hair looks stupid as hell. This show sure does have some awful haircuts in it.

Another Khatri sighting. And he says the nightmare thing is true. And we got a Martin reference from Boyd. “Running out of time” again.

I do hope the Sophia thing gets sorted out soon. Either let them figure her out or we learn exactly what she/MiY is trying to do.

And here we go with Boyd busting out the basement wall. Yup. Called that.

And this is more evidence that some of the spirits there really are trying to help the people.

I’m still not convinced of the mother theory. Seems to be based on the flashback last season and assuming it’s a memory through reincarnation. But couldn’t Eloise have left her hiding spot and watched what happened?

Instead, we have multiple confirmed instances of Tabitha being a young girl in the town. Who does that sound like?

Oh, I don't disagree with you in principle. And the sister theory was thrown around in previous season discussions I believe, up until the big Tabitha/Jade reveal last season. And honestly, who's to say she wasn't a version of both his sister and his mother at some point. Anything is on the table right now since we haven't gotten solid explanations of how it works, really.

What are we thinking about the whole MiY/Sophia blood in the drink thing? I thought it was pretty poignant that we also got several Martin references from Boyd during this episode, and he was the whole "now my blood is your blood" thing, which Boyd used to kill the Smiley monster.

If we are to assume she is somehow passing MiY's powers (somewhat) to Henry, then where does that go? Is this all just to frick with Victor? That would be cruel as frick.

I still am curious as to what MiY/Sophia knows and doesn't know. Very clearly she knows what the yellow suit is, and was still asking Henry about it. And you'd have to assume it always knows more than it is letting on. But I just wonder if, for example, it knows that Henry is Victor's father...or if it even remembers who Victor is or remembers killing the mom and sister (Miranda and Eloise). Stuff like that.

I assume the writers just don't want you to spend too much time thinking about it because from Ep 1 of S1 to yesterdays episode is only supposed to be about a month and a half.

---

Wow I was just wondering about this last episode. A month and a half??

At the beginning of episode 1 they made sure to show his hand acting up. I think it'll show up in a big way at some point this season.

I wonder if Donna sees anything while she's out. Maybe she makes contact with the souls of the others who have died there?

That timeline assumes everything happens on screen. I think that's unlikely

Need to add to this list

Day 16- Kristi gets a slightly butchier hair cut

Day 17 - Kristi gets a slightly even more butchier hair cut


Day 19 - Kristi cuts off more hair for a slightly butchier look


Day 20 - Kristi cuts her hair again to be a little more curly and butchier


Etc etc

There's almost no way it's only been 6 weeks or so, just based on how much shite has happened like the radio tower being planned and built, injuries healing (Randall), etc. Hell, even though Fatima's pregnancy, even though it was accelerated that was still at least a few weeks.

I'm not saying years have passed or anything, but 6 weeks seems pretty damn low. And that graphic posted only covers certain things that happened onscreen. But as far as we've seen, time still passes normally there, as evidenced by people having their anniversaries celebrated (i.e. Fatima).

But maybe so.

I definitely agree with you, but I looked into it a bit more and found a Reddit post from someone who kind of dug into the timeline and they basically confirmed it. He used different things seen in the show (the sign outside of police station/post office for example) and different things said in the show to build his timeline, and he actually came out with 28 days from EP1 of S1 and EP3 of S4. Apparently the actor who plays Ellis recently said it's only been a few weeks in the show as well. Crazy stuff if true. S1 is 13 days, S2 in 5 days, and S3 is 7 days. Tabitha was only gone for 3-4 days

My wife and i were talking about it last night and she came up with the idea that maybe time works differently.

I don't think so. Victor's dad seemed to age normally before he arrived with Tabitha in the town. I know Jim and Tabitha had an argument after her return about how much he and the kids missed her, but I don't think he mentioned a more specific time frame. I may have to go back and check.

Tabitha also called her mom but I don't remember any clues being given.
