Alright a couple more things I noticed.
-yes the pendant around Warrens neck, injured Wyck's hand in the same way it did to Warren. Somebody mentioned this previously, good catch.
-when Wyck got back in the boat, how was he able to pull himself into the boat with a ladder? He sort of appeared as a thud and watching this again Tom has this puzzled look on his face like something is off with Wyck. Wyck gets on the boat grouchy not happy to be alive and he waited quite awhile to ask about Richard in the coffin. Kinda like he knew already but had to ask to Tom to play dumb. Very strange scene and a head scratcher as to why Tom was looking at Wyck like something was off.
Maybe the entity helped save him or there was a pact created while in the water.
-One funny thing was after they dug Warren up explaining it to Tom, Wyck grabbed a sharpie and circled the pendant in Warren's portrait. So not there a permanent marker on the paining.
-Going thru a 2nd time, I'm picking up on the dry subtle comedy more.

it’s really an awesome rewatch.

One of my favorite jokes I didnt get the first time is in the 1700s episode when the assassin comes to stab Robert Warren in the dark he’s originally standing over Sarah and she like clears he throw and points at Robert.

Cracked up when that happened. It is a pretty clever little scene though when you think about it, because i'd wager generally most men back then slept closest to the door, so his assumption would be so was Richard. Could also make you think that Richard may have assumed someone may try and kill him at some point, so he purposefully didn't sleep there

I LOL when that happened and she just quietly points to him

yall need to watch the end of series interview the Ringer did with the writer and director. They talk about the humor and even different lines they had that they changed.

It starts at the 31 minute mark

I thought the look from Tom was because he thought Wyck owed him an "attaboy" but was just being grouchy. Then he was satisfied when Wyck told him he did well.

The boat was lit up. It makes much more sense for Wyck to find the boat than for Tom to find Wyck

Fair point, that could be. I might be trying to too much into it.
But how would Wyck know to give Tom an attaboy? Wyck supposedly doesn't know that everything worked out.
If it was you that just got back on the boat, you would be happy and the first thing you would ask is, "did the plan work? Is Warren dead?"

You wouldn't be complaining about Tom being in the cabin or complaining about what was moved on the control panel and then finally decide to ask about plan and if it worked. It was odd. I didn't really pay attention the 1st time thru but the 2nd time after somebody here mentioned the oddness of Wyck getting back on the boat, it is an intriguing and subtle scene.
How did a 65 yr old man get back on the boat without a ladder?

Something that is bugging me on this show and I think it is leading me to think there is some kind of time issues with this island.

But why are all the vehicles from the 80's and earlier. The newest vehicle is probably Tom's and the Sheriff's. Those are late 80's vehicles. Why is every car so old.
No I haven't paid attention to the misc cars around town, but it just seems odd.

I’m sure it is quite expensive to have a car shipped to the island, and since most of the people can’t leave the island shopping for a new car is probably hard also.

Not to mention, if you can't leave a small Island, imagine how few miles you would put on a car.

I just listened to a podcast with the creator. It is interesting that a bigger deal isn't being made about her being a woman. That is as it should be. When the work is superb, you don't need to prop it up with identity politics. It simply stands on its own. I appreciate more that fact that she is female when it is not being shoved down my throat. Also, she is pretty funny in person. I get why she has been successful as a comedy writer.

Agreed, remember when Kurt offered to stay in the hotel room for 10 seconds he passed it off as no big deal, then after 30 seconds he (and the room) looked unusually disheveled.



And at the beginning after Shep resurfaced, his chart showed him as being only 37 years old.

I agree. There's something odd about how it seems this island is on earth in the present day, but seems to be 30-40 years back. Tom's car had a CD player in it from the late 90's early 2000's. I doubt cars surrounded by salt water on an island are lasting 30+ years.

Ruth says she is 84 years old and that she won Miss Widows Bay in 1959. That all makes sense with her being born around 1942, and it being 2026 now.

Great point paperwasp. I missed the Shep age thing. The Inn owner going in the suite for 30 sec was bizarre.
Why didn't the same thing happen to Tom in the Suite with the time thing. He only had the curtain open up on him. Unless the video on the TV appeared stuck with the guy walking along the water, maybe that was a time glitch.

I'd say technically we don't know it didn't happen to him, but most of that episode we saw him outside the room and we never really saw a perspective of him inside the room from somebody outside of it. He essentially blacked out and woke up in the room. We got the small bit with him in it, but that could have seemed like normal time to him in there but was only a few seconds outside.

I’m pretty sure they came out and said it was just intended to be a typo on his medical chart. I liked it better when we could assume he aged so poorly due to his alcoholism and life on the island.

There was also something about Patricia saying she found out her biological age was 28, even though later they mention she's in her 40s.

That's right paperwasp. I remember her throwing that out there. I remember thinking that was odd.

Almost done with season 1. I really , really like this show. Episode 5 was incredible. The one where she threw the party and that evil book was giving her instructions. This show was incredibly cast imo.

That’s probably my favorite episode of the season. Patricia is great and the subtle background at times both during the party and around the planning was hilarious. Also, Rosemary just being nonchalant while Patricia is going insane was too good.

“I tried to be supportive “

Meanwhile she’s chopping heads off birds. Lol
