From

I don't know man, I just remember every episode feeling like it could've been solved if the people involved just spent 2 seconds talking to each other, but instead they play information vault with each other to add confusion and piss me off.

Given the reality-bending feats that the monsters/forest are capable of, the only solutions that it can possibly be are:

1. All in someone's head/nightmare
2. Aliens abducted them and put them in a zoo
3. Matrix-style computer simulation
4. They're in hell/purgatory

There's really nothing else it can be, and yeah we will never find out because they're just going to keep stretching it out until they get unceremoniously canceled.

I'm guessing everyone who "dies" is actually freed. That's why the mom got pushed out of a lighthouse. I'm not sure if it's a test of some one's will for some light-as-a-feather bullshit to get into heaven or ascend or whatever or if they're specifically looking for some one who never gives up hope to possibly lead people somewhere like interstellar travel to a new planet or something.

Hopefully it's something more thought out than just "they all did bad and are in Hell lul." But that LOST shit with it being Purgatory nailed it pretty early in the show so who knows.

This x10 - it actually irked me a lot when the mother pre-emptively decides to be weird and cryptic with everyone, it actually turned out worse than the cliche 'Ok my story makes no sense but I'm not craaaaaaazy' ( screamed in crazy voice ).

It's not like she has anything to hide - even if she thinks people won't believe her about monsters ( fair ), mostly the truth is entirely plausible anyway - van crashed and they got abducted by gun-toting crazies that wouldn't let them leave. She's got names and accurate descriptions of actual real people too. Apparently the alternative is just wander around as a homeless person hoping inspiration strikes ?

Anyway, I liked first ep better than all of s2 - at least stuff actually happens ;p

This show is like fucking a girl for 20 minutes and not being able to bust. No payoff.

It jumps from one absurd mystery box to the next ad infinitum.

Show is terrible, not sure why this post was resurrected.

I'm enjoying this season SO FAR. Curious if they'll actually manage to capture one.

Last night's episode opened up several new mystery boxes!

Not about From but MGM itself. Now that the writer strike is well done with which delayed things AND Amazon has finally integrated MGM fully AND Amazon has built their own studios which took time, whew, these projects are confirmed and moving ahead/has movement.
Spaceballs 2
Bond
Space Force
Space 2001 remake
Legally Blonde
Robocop series
And and and
New Stargate movies and series![under set production and writing]
Turns out Amazon after spending 6.5B on MGM they found out nothing had been done on these valuable IPs including Bond/Stargate despite those 2 still making profits today. Official announcement expected by Christmas. It's happening. Shame they don't have Dredd haha

Should also add, MGM didn't actually sell any production value just IP/content over with staff, so Amazon had to build their own production facilities and between Covid/Strike had issues with that so when they did finally build them they had a massive backlog of prepared schedules, this is why Stargate got canned a few years back, that and the same week they were going to break it, the writing strike happened. The delay now is Amazon knows Stargate will be more expensive than all the other projects combined, on the tune of 7-11million per episode so they are thinking of splitting distrubution and have offers out. Currently Sony is in the lead for providing production greatly reducing cost to Amazon for a slice along the way. Hence Christmasish is when we'll hear yup, it's going down or no, we stupid.

Even though I hate remakes and sequels, it would be rather cool if they fired up another SG-1 series with a new crew. If we are in fact dewokifying now, then it potentially could be fun.

Initially the plan was to go with a future SG1/Atlantis timeline and ignore that SU ever existed. I'd imagine that is still the case since over 30 people of SG-1 have died IRL now and many of the others are showing their age like Richard Dean looks like boss hog and even Dr Jackson doubled his weight and Teal'c looks old as fuck. The only exception was they was going to write in the dude playing Eli from SU in somehow, but not only has he aged, he much thinner now. Truth be told, them dumping season 6 of Atlantis to make SU and making it ALA Battlestar style to compete was a terrible mistake. SG is literally endless possibilities due to the gates and galaxies. It should have continued on.

The saving grace of a new one is the people behind The Expanse have basically demanded to be involved in it, but the downside is last I heard Amazon/MGM gave Wright the cold shoulder and he knows the SG world better than anyone. We'll see when the calls go out. I'm hearing by Christmas either we'll be excited or it'll be off the shelf for a good while. I think it is riding on Sony helping pick up the insane tab as basically 10M a episode and most involved are demanding a minimal 3 year/season contract.

Back to From. I am glad I am pirating this and not paying for MGM. It is almost as low value as Beacon 23 was which I also Jack Sparrowed. Arrrrrr

Alright. It took me a while but I got there. I want everyone in this to die horribly.

Wife & I binged S1 & 2 last week and the first 3 eps of S3 yesterday.

It might be the most frustrating show of all time. The characters literally never talk about the weird shit that happens to them and it frustrates the hell out of me.

See a crazy vision? Tell no one. Receive a scary phone call? Tell no one. Hear a voice over the radio? Tell no one. Meet & get blood poisoned by some scary corpse guy in the woods? Tell no one.

Tell me about it.

One of the biggest mysteries on this show is how do the fat fucks remain so fat.

Season 1 they said they basically had infinite food and that's why the diner was always running. They just had food basically "show up" and the animals were constantly producing stuff like milk and eggs. At some point the food stops showing up and that's where all the panic starts with the gardening, etc.
