Ellis was extremely stupidly stabbed. Just like Sarah's brother. But this is a clear lead-up to the fact that panic is coming and there will be a bunch of corpses. And, as patlaty noticed, this is clearly planned. I am generally surprised that Donna trusted the newcomers' family, although perhaps this is due to the fact that a Chinese woman lives in the house. But where was Jade then?
A ballerina is a babaika of the Smile level or It goes. The one that only you can see, but which can physically destroy you. Maybe she threw off the rope?
Elgin turned out to be very brave for such a complex kid. The whole trip was very stressful.
I hope Kenny forgave Boyd, because clearly this is not the time to be angry about the past.
I wonder if they didn't attack Boyd because he didn't show that he was afraid, or did they want to see what would happen? They obviously didn't know about the blood. It's a pity, of course, that the most charismatic was killed, now we won't know why he behaved like that on the bus. And, probably, this is a one-time victory, you won't get such blood anymore. Unless, of course, she stayed in Boyd and is now in Ellis.
It's a pity they didn't show how the skinhead's adventure ended there.
@driveshaft: Jade very eloquently explained that so many people in the house are not OK, and dumped to live in a bar. Moreover, there is a sleeping place in the course of vacated.
@a1326655: I saw that someone had already looked. I typed from tv series watch into the search engine, the watchseries.cyou website fell out, one of the sources there was with subtitles. The quality is so-so, but after waiting a week, I couldn't stand the urine. You can also watch it as a movie, but without subtitles. And since the series is already on Zetflix, they usually post it by noon.
Elgin was very surprised and pleased with such a quick response, well done. And, yes, at least something has moved.
However, now I think more and more, there are anchor people in every race who move the plot... more precisely, life in their community. And someone just doesn't understand what's going on, well, someone is like cannon fodder. But people like Victor and Jade are those who are trying (or tried) to do something, but suffer from the fact that nothing works out.
After this episode, interest in the series returned, and then I began to wait for two episodes to come out and watch in one gulp. The strategy turned out to be good 😂
Well, finally, at least some dynamics. So, one theory was tested (that the smileys would not approach Boyd), it turned out to be incorrect, but we got an answer to the question what would happen if the worms got into the smile. The answer is expected. I was amused by how they abruptly stopped smiling :D Now the question is what will happen to him in the sun. Will he disappear? Will it burn? Will he stay? I hope they will answer us in the next episode, and not at the end of the season.
Very cool work with the camera in the car, just well done.
But something else surprises me. Why do they still not believe when someone says they see something or hear something. Here half of the people have some kind of glitches, people, you live in a city from which it is literally impossible to get out, and at night humanoid smileys come who literally tear and devour people. But no, Boyd has dementia.
Kenny started throwing something up. And he was the one who pointed the gun to get Boyd to give blood. Boyd refuses and what, Kenny? What will you do? Will you shoot? Will you kill me? Yes, it will certainly help a lot, it will be awesome, it will be possible to scoop up blood from the floor and pour it into Ellis.
You know, while watching it, I also had a question: why the fuck doesn't anyone believe Boyd? From the point of view of the world in which the characters are located, this is generally stupid. But on the other hand: Boyd has a disease, plus people remember what Boyd's wife did. Here, too, it's scary to trust right away, because it seemed to one that it was necessary to shoot everyone so that they would wake up, and the other has worms crawling under the skin that no one sees. Plus, if Boyd told this to Jade, Sarah or Tabitha, who can see the glitches themselves, then this is one conversation. But the people that Boyd told didn't come across it and didn't experience anything like it themselves.
About Kenny pointing a gun at Boyd, I yelled, too. Well, like: and what? At most, a gun could distract Boyd so that someone would knock him out from behind.
About worms. If the worms remained, then it would be possible to sneak into the shelter of the smileys during the day and kill them while they sleep.
And about Kenny. I don't know, for some reason I understand him. He lost his father, found out that a person close to him was covering up for the killer and lying to him. He's angry. Even if you look at it from the point of view of justice. They have laws, they face a night in a cage for this. Fine. We'll forgive Sarah. Someone will decide that he can kill too. Next, in this episode, a guy stabbed Boyd's son. Even if it was by accident, but in general such a stupid situation happened there. He tried to kick out the newly arrived comrades, threatened them with a knife, then stabbed Ellis, because of this Elgin, Fatima and Ellis had to risk their lives to go out at night. In theory, it should also be thrown into a cage for the night. I wonder how events will develop in this regard. Because if you forgive both this guy and Sarah, then with a possible brewing rebellion, the last deterrent in the form of a cage will lose its meaning.
I understood that only residents of the city can get into the cage, not the colony. The newcomers are either adjacent to Boyd's camp, and live according to its charter, or to Donna, the colonists have a lot of different arrangements
@oksakotya: According to their laws, Kenny and his mother should also be put in a cage. Do you remember what they put Frank in there for? I didn't clog the windows, I didn't spend the night at home - in general, for not taking enough care of my loved ones, as a result of which they died. If Kenny and his mom had taken care of their sick father/husband themselves, the nurse would have been upstairs with the patient at that time and Sarah would not have done anything in front of her.
@id545555296: Kenny and his mother actually took care of him, bringing him to the clinic. They even told him: it's important that you be in a place where you can't open the doors. They can't board up the doors, lol, or keep him awake at night, and there was a basement in the hospital where they locked him from the outside + took care of him.
In general, it is not only about taking care of loved ones, but in general, so that every resident of the city takes care of others and does not put other people's lives in danger. Kenny and his Mother did the right thing when they sent his father to a place where he was supposed to be taken care of
@QueenOfGems: Why couldn't they be in a place where he couldn't open the doors? What would have happened if his wife had taken him to the basement? Why did an outsider have to take care of him for his grandfather's benefit?
@oksakotya: and how did you determine that you did the right thing? If they had spent the night in a clinic, and not in a separate house, how would it have put other people's lives in danger? How did Frank put other people's lives in danger? What is the difference between him and Kenny? If his daughter had stayed not with her mother, but with an outsider, would he not have been to blame?
@id545555296: Are you suggesting that they should be in the clinic too? I don't know, maybe Christie and the other residents of the clinic weren't thrilled? In general, this is strange - well, it is so accepted among them that people in such conditions are taken care of by those who understand this, and relatives spend time together and do not interfere with professionals. How did this cause his death?
@QueenOfGems: No, Christie was not unhappy, she offered to spend the night at the clinic. I have already written how this caused death - the nurse could not find herself in two places at the same time, so while she was putting her grandfather to bed, Sarah killed Jade's friend and took off the amulet. What makes you think that's the way they do it? It's not accepted anywhere. It's just that there are people who take their relatives to boarding schools. People with dementia don't need any professionals, they're just like children. And there are no professionals in this city, Kenny is as professional in police work as he is in caring for the elderly.
Frank put other people's lives in danger by drinking instead of clogging the windows in the house where he and his family live. I don't know why other caring people couldn't do it, but in general, Boyd says that he repeatedly asked him to clog the windows. About Kenny and his family. I do not know why Kenny's mother or himself did not spend the night at the clinic. Christie suggested to Kenny that his mother stay there overnight. Maybe she couldn't bear to see her husband like that. I don't know. Kenny said that his father thought his brothers were knocking and pushed Kenny's mother. And she and Boyd discussed that it was unbearable to see their parents in such a state. Plus, the mother lives by illusions (again, according to Kenny and believes that her husband will recover), and plus she makes a very good contribution to society as a whole, cooks in a diner and runs a warehouse with junk. Maybe she's doing all this to worry less about her husband. In any case, they didn't send him to some kind of prison, but to a place where people who don't mind doing it should take care of him. In my eyes, they did the right thing. Plus, from the brief moments with Kenny's father, we can see that he was really taken care of there. And no one could predict Sarah's behavior. Your reasoning can then be used by Tabitha and her husband (I forgot his name) They should also blame the fact that they sent a small one with Sarah to look at animals and because of this their son was in danger, and Sarah's brother turned out to be dead. And Boyd is also in the cage, since he did not anticipate Sarah's behavior. Oh, well, Christie can be at the same time. She indirectly supported Sarah in Ethan's murder. My opinion: Frank deserves a cage. Sarah too. I don't care about the voices. The guy from this series who stabbed Alice too, but given that he's from the colony, I don't know how they'll deal with him.
@oksakotya: This is not my reasoning, please don't think about it for me. I'm not accusing anyone of anything. You're the one talking about who's in the cage. What I'm saying is that from the outside, I don't see the difference between Frank and Kenny. Did Frank fill up the windows? Well, Kenny didn't put a lock on the door so that his father couldn't go out at night. Frank didn't leave one daughter, but with his mother. The difference between their situations is that Kenny and his mother both refused to take care of their father, and Frank was drinking alone, and his wife took care of her daughter. So if they had both given up their daughter, would they have given her to someone else, then Frank wouldn't have earned the cage? So it's his fault that his wife didn't give up on his daughter? And you somehow imagine everything one-sidedly, you only mention that it was unbearable for loved ones to see the old man like this, so they got rid of him so as not to suffer. But you don't mention that the old man was crying and asking to go home, he couldn't bear it either. Therefore, it should sound different. Someone had to suffer and they got rid of him, not so that no one would suffer, but so that they would not suffer. The fact that in your eyes they did the right thing is just as normal as the fact that in my eyes doing the right thing is completely different. It's good if you're sincere and you'll be glad when your children do the right thing by you, and you won't whine that you want to go home like the grandfather from the series. I'll be glad if they do to me what I think is right. You also came up with Tabitha and Jim - they didn't let Ethan and Sarah go, Tabitha went with them, and yes, that's how it should be, if she let the baby go to hell with who, yes, it would be her own fault that something bad happened to him.
Thank you, I understand your point of view. Both you and I are entitled to our opinion. Specifically in this situation, I sincerely believe that it really was the right decision. I really forgot about Tabitha, that she went to the farm with Sarah and Ethan. And as for Frank, if Frank's daughter or wife and daughter had stayed overnight in the same hospital for some reason on the very night when Sarah decided to listen to voices, then Frank would be alive now and no one would blame him. I perceive this situation like this: there are rules in society where everyone takes care of everyone, especially people from the colony take care of their own, people from the city take care of their family, but also, if possible, of other members of societies. Frank, in the understanding of society, is the head of the family, he chose to live in a house, not in a colony, so he is responsible for his wife and daughter (as Boyd said), Boyd repeatedly asked Frank to clog the windows, but Frank scored a bolt on the mayor's requests and decided to break away. Because of this, his family was torn apart. He's been punished. All. Here, too, I sincerely believe that everything was right
@oksakotya: you are twisting again: "if Frank's daughter or wife and daughter had stayed overnight in the same hospital for some reason" - we are not considering the situation that Kenny's mother and father stayed overnight in the hospital for some reason. So what does the wife and daughter have to do with it? An analogy, I repeat, will be: Frank and his wife left their daughter in the hospital in the care of "professionals", she cried, asked not to leave her, but they said they could not live in a house with a child, because she could open the door /window, it was dangerous. This is the situation you think is right, admit it to yourself. "Frank is the head of the family in the understanding of society, he chose to live in a house, not in a colony" - and the Lew family chose to live in a colony or something? Or in the understanding of society, the head of the family is a grandfather with dementia? "Frank would be alive now and no one would accuse him" - this is also your speculation. Frank was accused only by a priest traveling without a bible and you) and other viewers, of course) but I mean, he wasn't forced to go into the box. He wanted to die because he didn't want to live without them. So he would have been alive not if his loved ones had died in another house, but if he had treated them differently, for example, as they treated Kenny's grandfather and mother, or in some other way, well, as a misfortune that you can live with. Well, the fact that Kenny did not know that it was Sarah who let the monsters in, and his mother thought that her ex-husband let them in himself, suggests that they did not think that the hospital was absolutely safe. They weren't running around then, they weren't yelling, let's investigate how this could happen, because they knew before that, yes, grandfather could open the door, but there would also be some people from the hospital, not us.
@ElllaDee: But something else surprises me. Why do they still not believe when someone says they see something or hear something.
Here, too, I'm falling out of this. Dudes, reality check: you are surrounded by complete paranormalness, you are in a looped area of space into which you teleport from random territories all over the country, nehs roam around, tearing people into shreds. But even this is not the most important thing - one of the main companions of the whistling flask is the lack of criticism of its condition. Boyd's wife is a classic example, she was confident in her words, so confident that she was ready to kill her son and husband. Boyd has repeated to you several times that he understands perfectly well how it all looks from the outside. Well, Camon. At least Christie should know this, she has honey. education.
@ShaMarinka: And what are they wrong about? Just because they don't understand the world they find themselves in doesn't mean that any nonsense someone says should be perceived as the truth. There were many signs that these worms were a figment of his imagination. Firstly, as they said, his illness can lead to dementia; secondly, imaginary worms under the skin are a fairly common fantasy in mental disorders; thirdly, Kenny noticed parallels between Frank's behavior and his father... And what were the alternatives? Either not to transfuse the blood and let his son die, or to transfuse and then deal with the consequences, if they come at all.
On the contrary, I am more surprised how they, seeing his behavior, allowed him to walk around with a gun.
Interestingly, the worms became visible only at night. And it turns out if such blood is a weapon against smiles, then the ballerina protects them? Did she chain that guy? And then there is some kind of light in the forest, a voice in the radio, electricity from the air, a sign, various glitches, catacombs, children and a pyramid moving trees. Something has been screwed up too much, I can't imagine how you can make a single thing out of it) even if progress begins, then for the 4 remaining episodes it's good if they give some kind of muddy open answer that will clarify part of what is happening, and then wait for the new season (there we'll throw in a bunch more and if people will still be interested, then we will repeat the trick)
@Зритель000: as for "the worms became visible only at night" - it seemed to me that their visibility was as if someone just turned on in time to move Boyd further along the quest)
@id8253959: Oh, and how else would he know how the rest of the smiles would react. Here he will give the worms to one of them, and the others will tear him up and leave him lying on the street. What's next, how to transfuse the blood from his corpse? If someone comes out after the corpse and tries to drag it to the hospital, the smiles will tear them apart.
It seems to me dumber that Boyd so boldly went to the monsters, if he had been devoured, then his son would have died too, because he would have remained without blood. And why didn't these monsters touch Boyd? Well, all the previous episodes, they did not wait for half an hour, stood watching, and immediately attacked. That was a strange scene for me. And the series is good overall
Perhaps this grandfather, who gave the worms to Boyd, was chained by smiles because they could not kill him because of his blood, but what kind of box and ballerina is this?!🤷♀️ We are waiting for the next series
@a1326655: plus my grandfather said that smiles are bullshit compared to what comes when the music ends. It's even scary to think about what he's talking about...
It's been more than half the season, not even the tiniest hint of answers Well, you can't do that, at least they threw in something that later turned out to be untrue, but so far we have absolutely nothing 🙄
"Leaves changing colours, falling off the trees. Never seen that before." She laughed out loud.
The plot has finally progressed, hooray 🎆 Boyd got carried away to talk. It would have been so long ago, honestly. I hope everyone at the clinic will tell the others in the next episode what happened there. Without silence or dialogues of the format "I have a cow, I'm going to go."
The transfusion was somehow far-fetched. There are a crowd of such around Ellis, well, anyway, some of them also have the first group, besides Boyd. Purely statistically. What will they do with Dale, what is there according to the rules of the colony?
Such a creep this smile, to which Boyd gave worms. I can't, it reminds me a lot of Teddy Perkins from "Atlanta" 🥴 It turns out that worms can be fought with smiles. If I were in their place, I would take the corpse off the road, in case it would come in handy.
@scarcelyinside: the first group, and a rare Rh negative. This is blood that does not accept any other than with exactly the same characteristics, and there are five people in total.
@hugomoreirs: Well, considering that he was actively moving (first he sat on the sofa, then he trudged into the car) leaving a knife in the wound is not a very smart idea. This can be done if he lies motionless until help arrives, otherwise the knife will just cut even more tissue.
A good series. The reception with the transfer of worms along the chain is somewhat cheesy and a little off the ceiling, but for the sake of movement I am ready to forgive. Kapets kripovaya ballerina.
I was also interested in watching about the dude who was moved to the bus. It's a pity they didn't show it. The theory that smiles will not touch someone who is not afraid of them is intriguing. Otherwise, of course, just like the commentators above, she got mad at Kenny with a gun, why? Well, it's a little frustrating, in my opinion, the acting in places, as well as the slightly off-the-ceiling plot twists. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to the next episode.
@sashakai: if the theory about "do not touch those who are not afraid" is correct, then there is a discrepancy: Smilers should not touch newcomers. Logically, those who just got to this place think that they are just people, not monsters.
I think this theory can be discarded, they didn't touch Boyd, not because he wasn't afraid, I think he was just afraid, but they just wanted to see what would happen next and play, they don't kill everyone at once, but they "play" with some, torment slowly
@Tatyanich: it seemed that he was still scared, and then, after the death of the redhead, he fled from the others. But he has a history with blood, so I wouldn't measure it by Boyd)))
@Sorceress772: This is a good point! Maybe not only the lack of fear plays a role here, but also disinterest and awareness, but this is completely overblown on my part. So I agree that the theory about the absence of fear is shaky
In general, it seems to me that they did not touch him, because he decided to play with them the way they usually play. They were wondering what he would do, so they didn't touch him.
Well, the sho for "Land of Love, Land of Hope?" began, I was hoping that the bus dude would fry some of the monsters and the major would stir something up, but then some shit went, maybe it would clarify a lot, Boyd's blood, but for the whole series it would stretch and the walking stuff also nonsense!🤦🏽♀️😒
I am always amazed at how in TV series and movies people wounded by a knife immediately pull it out with ease and begin to die from blood loss🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ well, only a 3-year-old child does not know that objects stuck in you cannot be pulled out of the body before entering the hospital
@00rainbow00: this is still OK, because when you notice that there is something extraneous in you, not even there, but sticking out of you, it causes panic and a desire to remove this something rather. What is much more unrealistic is how often in movies / TV series characters start to instantly bend over from a knife wound.
@00rainbow00: well, for me, the justification for this was that they do not have a hospital as such and a simple nurse sits in the doctors, not a vascular surgeon
And for some reason it seems to me that Boyd did not fully convey the worms.. Perhaps his blood will later become the antidote to smiles and now Alice will have it too.. Let's see how it goes from here.. Hm.. They twisted it normally like this!
And Tabitha never told me that she saw where the smileys were sleeping. Damn, I don't know. First of all, if I found out, I would run screaming all over the village to tell everyone about it
@driveshaft: by the way, did no one really think to try to splash gasoline on them and set them on fire? Everyone has arrived in cars, there is fuel, the creatures walk slowly. Okay, the first few days, but people have been living there for at least a year, and they haven't even tried.
@driveshaft: I think it was possible to come up with something in a year. Bottles, traps. Security zones, dug in and mowed down I even admit that you burn them one night, and they will be reborn the next. But it's interesting to see)
@vayana: Ordinary people live there. Only Boyd has some kind of research streak, the rest are as passive as possible. Without him, they would still be in the pits every night. Although, if the place had to constantly create stress, then if you tried to make traps or something else, a storm would start or some kind of accident would happen. And if giant spiders come from the forest or smileys start walking during the day, or something scarier than smiles comes?
@driveshaft: The huntress aunt (Donna) also knows something, I think it's even in the genre, if there are horrors, then the witch, burn! and not to build a radio tower on magic wires. Maybe the screenwriters are leading to something special, but it's not clear what \_/
@ogoltelo: I had an idea that I could try to lure them all into some house, lock all the entrances, windows and hang a talisman at the exit, and if it worked, then that's it, let them hang out there, go for a walk at night, do whatever you want
@ogoltelo: oh, well, then it's logical , it's just that in my head the decoy man should have had time to hang up a pebble and run out, closing the doors)
Well, it was only necessary to identify a circle of relatively interesting characters for yourself, as they decided not to show them at all in this series.
On the one hand, the plot has moved forward for the first time since the beginning of the season, on the other hand, what a stupid drama this is with Ellis. It is clear that this was necessary in order to get the worms out of Boyd and somehow stimulate him, but it is absolutely impossible to worry about his son, just like it was with Jim in the first series, because the plot armor on them is so thick.
In total, a plus sign for some kind of movement, and Elgin who showed himself well, minus for the lack of interesting characters and a snotty pseudo-tragedy, they also added pregnancy, gspd, for that.
@Me-wow: Pregnancy has been asking for a long time, they live in a fornication hut. Everything is common, but there are no pregnant people. But I doubt that there will be a timescale for her to give birth, rather, she will die with the child. Although I like the theory that Elgin is her son.
Oh, my God, is that moving? Have we really waited for a breakthrough? The car ride was more intense and dynamic than the whole season. Although scenario guns still shoot nonsense (a far-fetched wound, an unexpected disposal of worms and a blockage of smiles - we don't know how, but why not like this), but at least some events have begun.
I liked almost all the commentators, everything is to the point, everything is to the point) I like that you and I are sitting here ourselves as residents of the town, and we can't jump off either)) fortunately, only everyone is sane, unlike.
@Gordey: Tabitha will tell you in the next episode, judging by the teaser. Of course, the subtitles have already been leaked, but the roles are not indicated there. https://youtu.be/US_AyFEfULA
@driveshaft: oh, not the fact that he will tell, judging by the teaser (thanks for the link), there will be something like: - What tunnels? - And? What? It's, listen, my kids are hungry there, I'm going
This series was much more dynamic and enjoyable than the previous ones. There are so many events in one episode. I really like how they are able to finish the series, I really want to find out what's next every time, even if the series was not very interesting.
@a1303660: I read a post that they said in an interview that this is not a Lost and they have answers to all questions in advance. I don't know. After new riddles were added in the second season and they didn't even try to explain the old ones (for example, the WHOLE walk of Boyd and Sarah), my expectations are already very low. Here the setting is interesting and the song is great (I never rewind).
@WildBart: They said the same thing about Lost. The story of the brothers was basic and ready from the very beginning. The same thing is obvious here. The center is ready, but the way their heroes fall on the knife just so that they don't invite the ballerina anymore, says that they literally hack on the sides in real time.
@zenkov: It's a little more difficult with Lost, where they were forced to rivet the seasons, because it was a cash cow. He is not a cash cow from the outside, so I hope it will be better here and if the creators know the answers to all their questions, then they have a plan for the number of episodes, at least an approximate one, and it would be great if they stuck to it. For me, three seasons is just normal, it's not worth it anymore
I liked the idea of a ballerina, purely visually and it's scary damn. That way, you can catch Vietnamese flashbacks later on some conditional Swan Lake. Honestly, this ballerina is the scariest thing for me in this series))
@Tatyanich: well, in general, Boyd's strangulation goes in parallel with the fact that he passed the worms by cutting the throat of a smile But most likely I'm thinking about it 🤗😂
The ballerina is very creepy. She probably only shows up at night, too. And the music is creepy .
As for the worms and the smile, something tells me that he is not dead. It seems that he and the ballerina will now find a common language. And the residents will have to hide better.
I watched the series and decided to read the comments. Everyone, like me, is happy for at least some kind of dynamics, some kind of movement in the series. Otherwise, all the previous episodes were just blah blah blah. Now it's very interesting what they're going to do with this weirdo. And what awaits them next.
When a child tells you that he is scared, it's time to say "I understand, I'm scared of myself" XD A very strange scheme was given out by the sheriff: his son was stabbed, he dies without a transfusion, but it is more important for his father not to transfer the worm. To give it to an assistant - no, to give it to my son, and from my son in the morning to a maniac with voices in his head - no, to run to monsters, communication with whom can 99% turn into a torn brush up to the shoulder - yes! Moreover, if he had been torn to pieces on the spot, then his son would definitely have died. Smiles do not cause fear at all. In the first episodes, although they walked slowly, they attacked quickly. And then a one-year-old baby can crawl away from them. Run through the woods all night and do not know grief.
@Sorceress772: well, if you think about it, dick knows what kind of worms they are, mb is worse than death, judging by the old man, so it's good that he thought of it
@tupo_lol: Yes, well, I'm not arguing, but the scene looked fantastically stupid. Well, imagine that there is not a Smile, but an evil dog: cut your hand, then bring it to the dog's neck (twice!!!! Where there is a huge mouth of 2 cm!!), while there are 3 dogs on your sides who also want meat. The scene of the newcomer running to the car looked just as stupid, where the smiles could even lock their hands for a game of "trickle". Or do they have no purpose to kill/devour?
@Sorceress772: Yes, in this series, I also grinned at the moment with this "running away from smiles", I mean, we were shown such a strong fear of the guys, how they panic, but fear of what? Monsters drag no faster than a baby who has just learned to stand. It seems that it wasn't so difficult to hide from them when there were no talismans, the main thing was not to be surrounded (but judging by the situation with Boyd, even the environment is not scary). And why did they just leave when one was killed? Why didn't they attack Boyd in retaliation for the "comrade"? like, "fuck, this guy is fucked up, he just came out and fucked up our guy, we're ticking, guys"? :D
@albinka_: in general, these smiles themselves are very strange guys, it would be nice if their motives were clear, but they do not seek to kill, they walk slowly, smile creepily and if they are very lucky, they will kill someone. And I remembered the moment when Donna said that her sister was tortured, in that case, what did they want to know from her? Again, the creators seem to have safely forgotten about it
@tupo_lol: they didn't try to find out a hundred percent, they just like to hurt. My theory is that they feed on fear, and first of all they arrange all the catch-up so that everyone is scared. And they kill in order to make the survivors more afraid.
@albinka_: we were shown such a strong fear of the guys, how they panic, but the fear of what? Monsters drag no faster than a baby who has just learned to stand. It seems that it wasn't so difficult to hide from them when there were no talismans, the main thing was not to be surrounded (but judging by the situation with Boyd, even the environment is not scary). ================================== The Holy Father may have reasoned something like that. As a result, I relaxed, chet was walking quietly outside the house, looking around. Well, I got it
@Sorceress772: remember the first episode (or the second, I don't remember exactly) of the first season, where they fled to a common house. There, the monsters came in a crowd and just stood on the porch, and the monster kid also managed to chat with Julie and get shot. And nothing, no one was going to attack there. So that's how they've been behaving since the first episodes.
@Sorceress772: Smilers like to play with the mind, this has been discussed since the first episode. It was with the girl who opened the window, and with the guy who fell in love with one of them. They like the game itself
Really, something has finally happened all season, although not much and nothing good, actually. I will note 2 points - it feels like without Christie, they would all have died pretty quickly and she is one of the few who does at least something and at the same time brings a constant useful impact unlike the rest. the 2nd moment is to expose some white men with outspoken wisdom and show which university characters are good - as it is in Hollywood in 23, they simply cannot do otherwise, that the man in the kitchen who stabbed extremely stupidly Ellis deliberately throws shit on the fan (do not forget that blow in episode 1 from Donna, ha), that the newcomer on the bus is how openly expressed an aggressive redneck that it even looks inappropriate within the script pulling all these owls from twin peaks onto the globe, well, since they can't prescribe characters without considering this, what can you do, can't help it. The ballerina with the Pas de Deux image is beautiful, of course, but it was overdone with repetitions in the series, it was enough to show that scene in the church and it was already powerful enough. The most interesting thing is, of course, all this "bad blood" and the smile lying after that, who may have fallen asleep or passed out or in paralysis (I can't believe that he finally died because nothing happened after cutting them, they say they can't be killed, but it's sad), all this reminded me of Bloodborne and Old Blood, those who know those who understand what happened to the blood there, there is the same admixture with the level of insanity and the emerging images / monsters that Boyd sees. In general, of course, how absurdly slow they are already walking, and the fact that he just walked away from them as if they were not interested became very spoiling the perception, especially when Donna pushes philosophy about Fear here, what kind of fear can there be if they do not even try to scare or attack, extremely stupidly, apparently after season 1 they were also tired of that that the script is moving at a snail's pace.
Again, all this would not have happened if everyone had gathered at least once and thought about what the hell was going on, gathered all the knowledge and experience, decided what to do next, held some kind of vote on important issues, and then everyone just goes crazy in their own way, and this belief in hippies- the commune, given what is happening here, will eventually lead to an attack worse than the one that was in season 1 and everyone will simply be devoured one way or another. Fatima's hypocrisy when she immediately burst into tears as soon as she realized that she almost lost (even if pregnancy is involved there is no excuse for such behavior, especially for saying about Sarah, she does not know what and how at all) is simply outrageous, as is the fact that no one cares about anything. It's a pity they didn't show Jade, the only adequate dude in the whole series who is at least trying to do something and asks really important questions. However, Jim also started and has been for a long time, they should have sat down and talked together, or something. But as Father Guthrie said : "but sometimes insanity is the most rational answer possible"-only when Boyd has it, and not everyone else. The paradox is that when something happens and it concerns really key characters with whom something can be done within the framework of the script, it immediately becomes more interesting and the intrigue returns from season 1, but besides this, and if it happens as the entire 1st half of season 2 passes, they will not go far at such a pace, no one he asks for a loss even close, but kamon, you could at the beginning, do not expect that people will watch this for 10 seasons, you are not that good, accelerate, double and wind up before it's too late and finally answer at least something instead of throwing up, because the feeling is that in the end they will either come to the answers or is it all a mass hallucination of Victor.
I wanted to write about theories about the fear of smiling. I see it this way: Option 1: The ultimate goal is to devour someone. But human fear is an interesting entertainment. For example, shaking people running away from slow-moving smiles at night, or even houses trembling behind glass. In this case, the person behind the glass with the amulet, who is not afraid of them, is simply not interesting to them - they cannot eat him, and they will not get fear from him either. Option 2: Fear (possibly also pain/suffering) is the absolute goal of smiling. And murders only serve this purpose, as well as torture games and other entertainment. This option is more likely if the smiles are not subjective, but just a system (one of) influencing the inhabitants of this place under the control of observers. Option 3: Smiles are chaotic evil by nature: therefore, we do not have to talk about any goals. Everything that harms people is suitable.
Additionally: You can even speculate that talismans DO NOT actually PROTECT against the entry of smiles into the house, but simply complicate their game with people. But as a plus, there is more fear in well-known crowded places, and if you are lucky, you can eat.
@WildBart: no, about the mascot, I think it still works, because they can't enter with it on the wall, but when they take it off, they calmly enter, but they don't even see what it weighs, there were such cases in the first season, and this one 🤔
Oh, how glad I was that the pregnancy cliche was bypassed in such circumstances, but here it is on you, and it flew from where they did not expect (I actually waited at the end of season 1) For me it will be interesting only if the child turns out to be half a smile, half a worm, in other cases all the moments with this "miracle" will have to be squandered
@anabeltesfaye: in general, in any such series, this technique infuriates me. You are nowhere, in mortal danger, your future is unpredictable, what should you do? Complicate your life as a child, of course! Fatima came to the city at an age when she didn't know about protection yet, or what🤦
@Captain_Icicle: Well, it's a strange presentation. Most likely, there are simply no contraceptives there. They can't go to the pharmacy and shop. If there was something with you in the car, it was over a long time ago, no one goes on business or even on vacation with a year's supply of condoms. The old-fashioned way to make a bull bubble?
@Captain_Icicle: Damn it. There is no Internet, there are no TV series, I doubt even about books. It doesn't look like they are actively developing the territory; the children are not organized either. Vegetable gardens the size of my balcony). One hardworking Asian woman feeds everyone. What should everyone do for months, except for sex?!
@Captain_Icicle: Two sexually mature people who really like each other and no complicated moral dilemmas prevent them from being together (like spouses left outside the walls of the town), it is very difficult to refrain from intimacy, given that they have been there for quite a long time together. You say that as if in this world no one ever accidentally flies in "foolishly", getting carried away and forgetting about protection, or using some ridiculous reasons not to protect themselves. Perhaps they tried to do this by some "folk" means, such as "counting days" or interrupted sexual intercourse (of course, it kind of doesn't matter, in the context of the fact that these are the characters of the series and they need "drama", I write about how it could be in life).
@albinka_: of course, in the ordinary world, this happens stupidly. And because it happens in an unusual world, it doesn't stop being stupid, which pisses me off, which I wrote about in the original comment)
@Captain_Icicle: well, yes, the main thing is that there should be no more cliched situations with this pregnancy and a bunch of episodes with whining about it.
@Captain_Icicle: in the next episode, she will tell you that she was infertile. And that she thinks this place is bullying her with this pregnancy, that this is another of the trials
@albinka_: well, listen, two sexually mature people should sometimes turn on their heads, it is clear that no one expects them all to suddenly become Mormons, especially taking into account that they live in a hippie commune and "last day", I doubt that they used at least the same stupid pap that in in some cases, it can really help, but it was also worth thinking that two sexually mature people do not have to poke their pussies to satisfy their needs (here the classic of garbage came to mind and a stingy tear rolled))
Fuck, and it was an unexpected one, so the worms are killing these creatures, probably our theories that they will not pass to Boyd have failed, something interesting has begun... Only, these visions with the ballerina are strange.. I like it so much when people who have been doubting some moments here for months, I would have believed everything in their place, like, hello, you live in a city from which there is no way out, and also all sorts of shit hunts you at night and you doubt such little things as worms under By the skin, are you serious... 😶
@NickPaulson: well, there are two ways about visions: either these are real visions, or a person has a cuckoo, which in these conditions is quite real and it seems that quite often (there is even a mental illness when a person sees insects under the skin). But the solution is generally the same in these two variants (and it is very strange that they do not do this at once) - immediately isolate, lock up and observe. If there are visions, he can mess up and kill everyone (like a girl), if the roof is going, he can kill everyone like the sheriff's wife. So I would have forced them into the cells.
@NickPaulson: it's just that even in such conditions, if someone had told me about worms under the skin, I would have thought that the person's nerves couldn't stand it. Besides, in this city, many people catch some kind of visions, but!!!! no one tells each other about it. If there was a mass format, then we can say about the regularity, and so - "oh my God, the guy is talking to himself, he has schizophrenia!"
@Sorceress772: Ahazh, yes, yes, but in such conditions I would already believe in everything, I literally wrote a comment about it at the top, and about the fact that no one tells anyone what is happening to them, then yes, this is trash
The movement seems to have begun, it pleases! But sometimes everything that happens is so stupid, starting from a domestic stabbing in the colony, ending with a brave newcomer who rushed to help transport Alice in the car, WITHOUT ASKING ANYONE IF THERE ARE KEYS AT ALL AND WHERE THEY LIE.
Brilliant, 10/10.
The scenes in terms of stupidity resemble horror films of category "B".
@thunder165: To be honest, I got the impression that he knows or can do something that no one else knows or can do. Well, that is, when he got ready and jumped out into the street - for me it looked like he thought, "that's right, I have a cheat code! (smiles won't eat me) well, okay, I'll risk getting burned, I'll go get the car." I don't know, maybe it's the bugs of the acting or the script, it would be a pity if I'm wrong, but it seemed like this to me.
@QueenOfGems: it also seemed that way, it would be good, it was justified, otherwise so far he has not shown his involvement in anything other than antics on the bus.
There was also such a feeling, but it passed when he panicked in the car while he was frantically searching for the keys, and the smiles were approaching
I can't understand why none of them got interested in amulets in 16 episodes. What gives power to amulets? No one has studied or tested them like that. What if we copy the symbols from the amulets to other objects and materials? Even guilty people can test instead of a dumb box. What do these symbols mean? Tabitha, like Victor, is silent about the dungeons, but there are walls painted with smiles, and these drawings can also be important for understanding what kind of place this is and how to get out. Everything would matter if people concentrated and tried to get out, and not passively (for the most part) existed
Jade, by the way, met Tabitha at the entrance to the dungeons, and did not even think to notice, to be interested, to ask what kind of cave. If he has failed, then there is even less hope for the rest
@Grace1112: After everything we've seen in the series: all the absurdities in behavior, including absurd examples of avoiding communication - do you still want the use of rational methods of thinking and a scientific approach by the characters from the humanitarian writers of this series?
P.S. I'm not even looking for an in-series explanation for another absurdity: the standard one - and again the screenwriters screwed it up.
@Grace1112: Even guilty people can test instead of a dumb box. ============================= What does "even" mean? They are the only ones who can, in fact. And how many were put in the box? One. Also with a lot of tears \ snot \ lamentations \ doubts. Well, yes, it was possible to test something on it, but everyone was on edge, and they didn't think about it. Not the biggest scenario jamb, as for me.
I don't really like Christie's new hairstyle, and I was also infuriated by the moment with her girlfriend, like Christie is so worried about her, and this girl is like, well, everything is behind
Monsters are some kind of downs in general) Well, either they become like that by taking on a human form😂 I don't understand what they need at all. Why do they walk so slowly, why do they kill, why didn't Boyd get killed right now... So many questions, God)
Who ordered the movement? Get it) The plot is progressing a little, but questions are still being added, for example, what kind of ballerina with a box that Boyd sees, and why did his "infected" blood kill smiley? It suggests the confrontation of some chthonic monsters that manipulate people and use them for their own purposes (the voices of Sarah and other residents, the boy in white, the children of Ankui, the ballerina, the visions of Jade..) Then the study of monsters will begin by dissecting their fallen kinsman, interestingly, we look further 🤔
What is worth noting in this series is that some characters lack theatrical behavior. And short-term secrets. For example, Boyd does not linger with revelations about the events in the cave and very soon discovers this secret. This is not enough in the series, and it's not about suspense, but the fact that such facts from the point of view of the behavior of a living person simply cannot be kept silent. Everything is in complete deep shit, and hiding some supernatural bullshit in a supernatural place is counterproductive. Khatri's father appeared again and his actions are clearly not enough in the series. He fixed at least some kind of antipode to the sheriff's views, but he nevertheless raised him as a leader. In this series, the characters wander around hopelessness, listlessly investigating something there. I don't understand the meaning of what is happening. This may be the case with cimes. The fact that Boyd dropped a debuff on a smile is probably a one-time action, otherwise where else can I get it?
I just wrote in season 1 about why someone else didn't get pregnant in the absence of contraception. And here you get it, sign it. Although such a scenario move is quite banal.
A ballerina is a babaika of the Smile level or It goes. The one that only you can see, but which can physically destroy you. Maybe she threw off the rope?
Elgin turned out to be very brave for such a complex kid. The whole trip was very stressful.
I hope Kenny forgave Boyd, because clearly this is not the time to be angry about the past.
I wonder if they didn't attack Boyd because he didn't show that he was afraid, or did they want to see what would happen? They obviously didn't know about the blood. It's a pity, of course, that the most charismatic was killed, now we won't know why he behaved like that on the bus. And, probably, this is a one-time victory, you won't get such blood anymore. Unless, of course, she stayed in Boyd and is now in Ellis.
It's a pity they didn't show how the skinhead's adventure ended there.
Or just say, Go for the arrow!, they perform voice commands)
However, now I think more and more, there are anchor people in every race who move the plot... more precisely, life in their community. And someone just doesn't understand what's going on, well, someone is like cannon fodder. But people like Victor and Jade are those who are trying (or tried) to do something, but suffer from the fact that nothing works out.
After this episode, interest in the series returned, and then I began to wait for two episodes to come out and watch in one gulp. The strategy turned out to be good 😂
So, one theory was tested (that the smileys would not approach Boyd), it turned out to be incorrect, but we got an answer to the question what would happen if the worms got into the smile. The answer is expected. I was amused by how they abruptly stopped smiling :D
Now the question is what will happen to him in the sun. Will he disappear? Will it burn? Will he stay? I hope they will answer us in the next episode, and not at the end of the season.
Very cool work with the camera in the car, just well done.
But something else surprises me. Why do they still not believe when someone says they see something or hear something. Here half of the people have some kind of glitches, people, you live in a city from which it is literally impossible to get out, and at night humanoid smileys come who literally tear and devour people. But no, Boyd has dementia.
Kenny started throwing something up. And he was the one who pointed the gun to get Boyd to give blood. Boyd refuses and what, Kenny? What will you do? Will you shoot? Will you kill me? Yes, it will certainly help a lot, it will be awesome, it will be possible to scoop up blood from the floor and pour it into Ellis.
A series without Jade and Victor is sad :(
From the point of view of the world in which the characters are located, this is generally stupid.
But on the other hand: Boyd has a disease, plus people remember what Boyd's wife did. Here, too, it's scary to trust right away, because it seemed to one that it was necessary to shoot everyone so that they would wake up, and the other has worms crawling under the skin that no one sees.
Plus, if Boyd told this to Jade, Sarah or Tabitha, who can see the glitches themselves, then this is one conversation. But the people that Boyd told didn't come across it and didn't experience anything like it themselves.
About worms. If the worms remained, then it would be possible to sneak into the shelter of the smileys during the day and kill them while they sleep.
Even if you look at it from the point of view of justice. They have laws, they face a night in a cage for this. Fine. We'll forgive Sarah. Someone will decide that he can kill too. Next, in this episode, a guy stabbed Boyd's son. Even if it was by accident, but in general such a stupid situation happened there. He tried to kick out the newly arrived comrades, threatened them with a knife, then stabbed Ellis, because of this Elgin, Fatima and Ellis had to risk their lives to go out at night. In theory, it should also be thrown into a cage for the night. I wonder how events will develop in this regard. Because if you forgive both this guy and Sarah, then with a possible brewing rebellion, the last deterrent in the form of a cage will lose its meaning.
In general, this is strange - well, it is so accepted among them that people in such conditions are taken care of by those who understand this, and relatives spend time together and do not interfere with professionals. How did this cause his death?
About Kenny and his family. I do not know why Kenny's mother or himself did not spend the night at the clinic. Christie suggested to Kenny that his mother stay there overnight. Maybe she couldn't bear to see her husband like that. I don't know.
Kenny said that his father thought his brothers were knocking and pushed Kenny's mother. And she and Boyd discussed that it was unbearable to see their parents in such a state. Plus, the mother lives by illusions (again, according to Kenny and believes that her husband will recover), and plus she makes a very good contribution to society as a whole, cooks in a diner and runs a warehouse with junk. Maybe she's doing all this to worry less about her husband. In any case, they didn't send him to some kind of prison, but to a place where people who don't mind doing it should take care of him. In my eyes, they did the right thing. Plus, from the brief moments with Kenny's father, we can see that he was really taken care of there. And no one could predict Sarah's behavior. Your reasoning can then be used by Tabitha and her husband (I forgot his name) They should also blame the fact that they sent a small one with Sarah to look at animals and because of this their son was in danger, and Sarah's brother turned out to be dead. And Boyd is also in the cage, since he did not anticipate Sarah's behavior. Oh, well, Christie can be at the same time. She indirectly supported Sarah in Ethan's murder.
My opinion: Frank deserves a cage. Sarah too. I don't care about the voices. The guy from this series who stabbed Alice too, but given that he's from the colony, I don't know how they'll deal with him.
And you somehow imagine everything one-sidedly, you only mention that it was unbearable for loved ones to see the old man like this, so they got rid of him so as not to suffer. But you don't mention that the old man was crying and asking to go home, he couldn't bear it either. Therefore, it should sound different. Someone had to suffer and they got rid of him, not so that no one would suffer, but so that they would not suffer.
The fact that in your eyes they did the right thing is just as normal as the fact that in my eyes doing the right thing is completely different. It's good if you're sincere and you'll be glad when your children do the right thing by you, and you won't whine that you want to go home like the grandfather from the series. I'll be glad if they do to me what I think is right.
You also came up with Tabitha and Jim - they didn't let Ethan and Sarah go, Tabitha went with them, and yes, that's how it should be, if she let the baby go to hell with who, yes, it would be her own fault that something bad happened to him.
"Frank is the head of the family in the understanding of society, he chose to live in a house, not in a colony" - and the Lew family chose to live in a colony or something? Or in the understanding of society, the head of the family is a grandfather with dementia?
"Frank would be alive now and no one would accuse him" - this is also your speculation. Frank was accused only by a priest traveling without a bible and you) and other viewers, of course) but I mean, he wasn't forced to go into the box. He wanted to die because he didn't want to live without them. So he would have been alive not if his loved ones had died in another house, but if he had treated them differently, for example, as they treated Kenny's grandfather and mother, or in some other way, well, as a misfortune that you can live with.
Well, the fact that Kenny did not know that it was Sarah who let the monsters in, and his mother thought that her ex-husband let them in himself, suggests that they did not think that the hospital was absolutely safe. They weren't running around then, they weren't yelling, let's investigate how this could happen, because they knew before that, yes, grandfather could open the door, but there would also be some people from the hospital, not us.
Here, too, I'm falling out of this. Dudes, reality check: you are surrounded by complete paranormalness, you are in a looped area of space into which you teleport from random territories all over the country, nehs roam around, tearing people into shreds. But even this is not the most important thing - one of the main companions of the whistling flask is the lack of criticism of its condition. Boyd's wife is a classic example, she was confident in her words, so confident that she was ready to kill her son and husband. Boyd has repeated to you several times that he understands perfectly well how it all looks from the outside. Well, Camon. At least Christie should know this, she has honey. education.
On the contrary, I am more surprised how they, seeing his behavior, allowed him to walk around with a gun.
Well, you can't do that, at least they threw in something that later turned out to be untrue, but so far we have absolutely nothing 🙄
Or did I miss something?
She laughed out loud.
The plot has finally progressed, hooray 🎆
Boyd got carried away to talk. It would have been so long ago, honestly. I hope everyone at the clinic will tell the others in the next episode what happened there. Without silence or dialogues of the format "I have a cow, I'm going to go."
The transfusion was somehow far-fetched. There are a crowd of such around Ellis, well, anyway, some of them also have the first group, besides Boyd. Purely statistically.
What will they do with Dale, what is there according to the rules of the colony?
Such a creep this smile, to which Boyd gave worms. I can't, it reminds me a lot of Teddy Perkins from "Atlanta" 🥴
It turns out that worms can be fought with smiles. If I were in their place, I would take the corpse off the road, in case it would come in handy.
Otherwise, of course, just like the commentators above, she got mad at Kenny with a gun, why?
Well, it's a little frustrating, in my opinion, the acting in places, as well as the slightly off-the-ceiling plot twists.
Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Okay, the first few days, but people have been living there for at least a year, and they haven't even tried.
I even admit that you burn them one night, and they will be reborn the next. But it's interesting to see)
it's even in the genre, if there are horrors, then the witch, burn!
and not to build a radio tower on magic wires.
Maybe the screenwriters are leading to something special, but it's not clear what \_/
, it's just that in my head the decoy man should have had time to hang up a pebble and run out, closing the doors)
On the one hand, the plot has moved forward for the first time since the beginning of the season, on the other hand, what a stupid drama this is with Ellis. It is clear that this was necessary in order to get the worms out of Boyd and somehow stimulate him, but it is absolutely impossible to worry about his son, just like it was with Jim in the first series, because the plot armor on them is so thick.
In total, a plus sign for some kind of movement, and Elgin who showed himself well, minus for the lack of interesting characters and a snotty pseudo-tragedy, they also added pregnancy, gspd, for that.
https://youtu.be/US_AyFEfULA
- What tunnels?
- And? What? It's, listen, my kids are hungry there, I'm going
I really like how they are able to finish the series, I really want to find out what's next every time, even if the series was not very interesting.
I don't know. After new riddles were added in the second season and they didn't even try to explain the old ones (for example, the WHOLE walk of Boyd and Sarah), my expectations are already very low. Here the setting is interesting and the song is great (I never rewind).
But most likely I'm thinking about it 🤗😂
As for the worms and the smile, something tells me that he is not dead. It seems that he and the ballerina will now find a common language. And the residents will have to hide better.
A very strange scheme was given out by the sheriff: his son was stabbed, he dies without a transfusion, but it is more important for his father not to transfer the worm. To give it to an assistant - no, to give it to my son, and from my son in the morning to a maniac with voices in his head - no, to run to monsters, communication with whom can 99% turn into a torn brush up to the shoulder - yes! Moreover, if he had been torn to pieces on the spot, then his son would definitely have died.
Smiles do not cause fear at all. In the first episodes, although they walked slowly, they attacked quickly. And then a one-year-old baby can crawl away from them. Run through the woods all night and do not know grief.
The scene of the newcomer running to the car looked just as stupid, where the smiles could even lock their hands for a game of "trickle".
Or do they have no purpose to kill/devour?
And why did they just leave when one was killed? Why didn't they attack Boyd in retaliation for the "comrade"? like, "fuck, this guy is fucked up, he just came out and fucked up our guy, we're ticking, guys"? :D
My theory is that they feed on fear, and first of all they arrange all the catch-up so that everyone is scared. And they kill in order to make the survivors more afraid.
we were shown such a strong fear of the guys, how they panic, but the fear of what? Monsters drag no faster than a baby who has just learned to stand. It seems that it wasn't so difficult to hide from them when there were no talismans, the main thing was not to be surrounded (but judging by the situation with Boyd, even the environment is not scary).
==================================
The Holy Father may have reasoned something like that. As a result, I relaxed, chet was walking quietly outside the house, looking around. Well, I got it
I will note 2 points - it feels like without Christie, they would all have died pretty quickly and she is one of the few who does at least something and at the same time brings a constant useful impact unlike the rest. the 2nd moment is to expose some white men with outspoken wisdom and show which university characters are good - as it is in Hollywood in 23, they simply cannot do otherwise, that the man in the kitchen who stabbed extremely stupidly Ellis deliberately throws shit on the fan (do not forget that blow in episode 1 from Donna, ha), that the newcomer on the bus is how openly expressed an aggressive redneck that it even looks inappropriate within the script pulling all these owls from twin peaks onto the globe, well, since they can't prescribe characters without considering this, what can you do, can't help it.
The ballerina with the Pas de Deux image is beautiful, of course, but it was overdone with repetitions in the series, it was enough to show that scene in the church and it was already powerful enough.
The most interesting thing is, of course, all this "bad blood" and the smile lying after that, who may have fallen asleep or passed out or in paralysis (I can't believe that he finally died because nothing happened after cutting them, they say they can't be killed, but it's sad), all this reminded me of Bloodborne and Old Blood, those who know those who understand what happened to the blood there, there is the same admixture with the level of insanity and the emerging images / monsters that Boyd sees. In general, of course, how absurdly slow they are already walking, and the fact that he just walked away from them as if they were not interested became very spoiling the perception, especially when Donna pushes philosophy about Fear here, what kind of fear can there be if they do not even try to scare or attack, extremely stupidly, apparently after season 1 they were also tired of that that the script is moving at a snail's pace.
But as Father Guthrie said : "but sometimes insanity is the most rational answer possible"-only when Boyd has it, and not everyone else.
The paradox is that when something happens and it concerns really key characters with whom something can be done within the framework of the script, it immediately becomes more interesting and the intrigue returns from season 1, but besides this, and if it happens as the entire 1st half of season 2 passes, they will not go far at such a pace, no one he asks for a loss even close, but kamon, you could at the beginning, do not expect that people will watch this for 10 seasons, you are not that good, accelerate, double and wind up before it's too late and finally answer at least something instead of throwing up, because the feeling is that in the end they will either come to the answers or is it all a mass hallucination of Victor.
Option 1: The ultimate goal is to devour someone. But human fear is an interesting entertainment.
For example, shaking people running away from slow-moving smiles at night, or even houses trembling behind glass.
In this case, the person behind the glass with the amulet, who is not afraid of them, is simply not interesting to them - they cannot eat him, and they will not get fear from him either.
Option 2: Fear (possibly also pain/suffering) is the absolute goal of smiling.
And murders only serve this purpose, as well as torture games and other entertainment.
This option is more likely if the smiles are not subjective, but just a system (one of) influencing the inhabitants of this place under the control of observers.
Option 3: Smiles are chaotic evil by nature: therefore, we do not have to talk about any goals. Everything that harms people is suitable.
Additionally: You can even speculate that talismans DO NOT actually PROTECT against the entry of smiles into the house, but simply complicate their game with people. But as a plus, there is more fear in well-known crowded places, and if you are lucky, you can eat.
For me it will be interesting only if the child turns out to be half a smile, half a worm, in other cases all the moments with this "miracle" will have to be squandered
I like it so much when people who have been doubting some moments here for months, I would have believed everything in their place, like, hello, you live in a city from which there is no way out, and also all sorts of shit hunts you at night and you doubt such little things as worms under By the skin, are you serious... 😶
Besides, in this city, many people catch some kind of visions, but!!!! no one tells each other about it. If there was a mass format, then we can say about the regularity, and so - "oh my God, the guy is talking to himself, he has schizophrenia!"
Brilliant, 10/10.
The scenes in terms of stupidity resemble horror films of category "B".
I don't know, maybe it's the bugs of the acting or the script, it would be a pity if I'm wrong, but it seemed like this to me.
P.S. I'm not even looking for an in-series explanation for another absurdity: the standard one - and again the screenwriters screwed it up.
Even guilty people can test instead of a dumb box.
=============================
What does "even" mean? They are the only ones who can, in fact. And how many were put in the box? One. Also with a lot of tears \ snot \ lamentations \ doubts. Well, yes, it was possible to test something on it, but everyone was on edge, and they didn't think about it. Not the biggest scenario jamb, as for me.
I don't understand what they need at all. Why do they walk so slowly, why do they kill, why didn't Boyd get killed right now... So many questions, God)
The plot is progressing a little, but questions are still being added, for example, what kind of ballerina with a box that Boyd sees, and why did his "infected" blood kill smiley? It suggests the confrontation of some chthonic monsters that manipulate people and use them for their own purposes (the voices of Sarah and other residents, the boy in white, the children of Ankui, the ballerina, the visions of Jade..)
Then the study of monsters will begin by dissecting their fallen kinsman, interestingly, we look further 🤔
Although such a scenario move is quite banal.
