Maybe 2/6/59? Some of those monsters look old-timey.

Okay, so this is my note from the previous page about the bottle tree numbers:

quote:

---

- Boyd and Sara traveled out further than anybody before and found the bottle tree. The bottles had paper messages in them, and Boyd found one dating back to 1864 meaning this place has existed for a long arse time. And I found this in a discussion online with other dates: ",,,numbers scratched into the stone. -1506, 1864, 1609, 1752, 1931, 1883, 1978, 1672, and one more year I can't quite make out." ETA: new number from the trees: 2659.

---

So using the m/d/y date format for the numbers doesn't really make much sense either unless they were literally all within a few days in January. But at least it's feasible.

quote:

---

You predicted Dale would end up in the pool dying? How in the hell did you come up with that on your own?

---

A couple ways, one they've been laying it on heavy with him. Really making you not like the guy. So with that I figured he wasn't making it long. Then in the trailer for this previous episode they had him saying "where's the tree" and "I've had it." So I figured he was going through that tree. And lastly, they showed a few shots of the pool with Boyd and Donna looking distraught. It was all just kind of putting two and two together.

quote:

---

Ah, yeah. You just mean "in the pool" in general. They very clearly foreshadowed his death for sure, but I thought you meant that he would literally be a part of the pool as in he's in the concrete itself.

---

Oh no, definitely not. I'd be playing the lottery if so

I thought he would fall out of the sky like that rock did back in S1 that Victor put in one of the trees

I’m starting to get concerned that we’re halfway through the third season and we still don’t have any actual answers to any of the questions the show has introduced. Instead of resolving anything they just add more questions to decipher. For anyone that watched LOST was that a similar style? That nothing could be resolved into one big reveal at the very end?

I can’t think of one thing the show has actually resolved.

quote:

---

One of my favorite theories that I have heard is the baby inside of Fatima was conceived by the monsters to form some sort of new monster that is not effected by the talisman's, and that there is potentially already a plant within the town, possibly monster or not.

---

that was my initial thought the moment ol girl started eating that rotten food and thought it was delicious. The only thing that makes that possible is that baby growing inside of her. She was a normal character before her pregnancy.

quote:

---

That the faraway trees work and the bottle tree gets you to the lighthouse.

---

or locked in concrete in an abandoned pool to die. Don’t think there’s any answers on how those trees work at all yet and that’s all they had to get them back to reality. Back to square one there

quote:

Don't expect any answers in this week's episode. Maybe next week

this show has jumped the shark to me. nothing is happening but a bunch of filler. also i have no interest at all in the pregnant chick's storyline. very disappointing season thus far after a strong episode 1

I’m trying to pay more attention to details and jot down certain things. There aren’t very many things in this show out there by accident.

I had a nightmare.
You want to talk about it?
No.
…..
I should have done more…
#womenbeshoppin

This fight between Jim and Tabitha doesn’t make much sense. And then Jim disappears for the rest of the episode to get food.”

Julie: I’m just glad some things are finally getting back to normal.



The way Jade says “that would allow her to get..FROM the lighthouse in the woods to Camden, Maine.”

So the bottle tree Boyd and Sara found isn’t the same tree?? Not sure I realized that before now.

And numbers match (1864). Holy shite. We may be getting somewhere.

Fatima, why the frick would you not want to go see the closest thing to a doctor the town has?

Donna, just dump the wheelbarrow of rocks into the pool instead of tossing them down one by one.

It’s absolutely ridiculous that nobody is interested in Jade and the numbers. They should be dedicating town meetings to brainstorming that shite.

So the numbers are the same and the two trees match. Differences: placement and the second tree has them in cursive. And some numbers repeat numerous times.

Jade called them dates.

So the monsters collect shite from the town and the people they kill? Victor: “They like to take things….they just do.”

So Jasper told Christopher a story about this place once. Key to what/where/when it is?

The Henry/Victor scenes tug at me a good bit. The dad is a good actor.

So Fatima isn’t pregnant but she thinks there’s something inside of her. And then Elgin sees the ghost lady in her picture. And then the ghost lady says she can help them get home.

Backwards 2s and backwards 7s in the tree numbers.

“Did it have three red stones….in a circle?” Three points don’t make a circle, Tabitha.

So Tabitha saw this place in her dreams before she for there just like Miranda did. Interesting.

I’m trying to figure out what the pale kids mean. They terrify her but also she’s trying to help them. At this point I am leaning toward them being good/helpful but that’s TBD. Jade thinks they won’t harm her, I assume because he encountered them in the caves with the symbol.

Wonder why Julie and Randall are walking around the woods next week and visiting the old church (?) where they were captured.



I’m not sure why people are mad at this show. It feels like this season is giving us tons of information in little tidbits at a time. If it can land the season finale and connect some dots to advance things this show will be on track to please the frick out of me.

At least they are somewhat talking to each other this season.
