The one thing that annoys me about this show is the lack of communication between characters. If I were the leader, I would have a weekly town hall meeting, where all the residents would report any strange/weird occurances that they have seen/heard, or any places that they have discovered.
I am so glad someone is finally saying this. The writing is sub-par. The only reason I am so invested in the show is that I love the concept and it's (for the most part) well acted. However, so much of the writing feels focused on 3 episode story arcs, as opposed to a truly cohesive narrative.
Another good thing is that writing, despite making most of the characters idiots, is still more or less logical. Also I like that they have left many clues spread over entire series, like rats eating a raven in the basement, etc, that you at first don't pay attention to unless you UNDERSTAND them after someone finally tells you.
one important point to note about the feasibility of the irrationality of the decisions for the characters, is that under extreme stress and duress, humans, especially in large groups, living under extreme fear, stress and life threatening ( not to mention horrific ) circumstances for a long period of time would do unreasonable and seemingly stupid things. We have to remember these characters haven't slept for a long period of time, probably weeks. Their decision- making and actions are going to be beyond questionable especially to people like us, observing from the fourth wall perspective.
Disagree. First off, it's not possible to not sleep for weeks. Secondly, humans are known to be very flexible and can accommodate to literally any living situation.
From what I understand, Frank was suppose to nail the windows shut, so they couldn't be opened, not "board" them up. But, yes, alot of things are goofy!
The reason they were mad at the guy who got his family killed by not nailing his windows shut was because the entities manipulate people into opening them, and had manipulated his daughter who easily opened the window, if it were nailed shut, she wouldn't have been able to open it.

I blame the mom she was standing right their whispering to her kid acting like she can-hear she should've been running and yelling at her to get away from the door
You're right! I they missed the quote from that 1st episode scene where Boyd is berating the father. He says "if you have kids, you nail your windows shut!" Most people don't have kids.
The only unrealistic thing is the fact that no ome wuestions Victor or keep track of where he is/going. The townspeople died from his time what tf did he do after? How'd he survive? Why wasn't he eaten?
I disagree. They're only going so far. As soon as Boyd went exploring through the forest, he found them. They are not out of food today. That gives them time to go find them in the day light. The only thing you'd worry about is them freezing. But I don't think it's that cold out yet. There's time to regroup and deal with it. If Boyd didn't run out all crazy like, the others wouldn't have either.
My wife’s job has a morning stand up where they all must meet and talk about what happened yesterday Fromville definitely needs a daily morning stand up.
Don't even have to be smart just use common sense cuz all yall are saying right now is if the characters used common sense the show would be over that means the writing is really bad PERIOD WE NEED MORONS OR ELSE THE STORY STILL BE OVER LIKE WHAT THE HELL

@@in2dbox people like lazy writers so they dont have to actually think
1.Fatima addressed the information sharing already with Elgin. She said they tried, and they could never figure anything out because it never made sense. She hints at it being a taboo because some went crazy trying to figure it out. Victor addressed it with Jade and told him to stop pursing his visions because bad things again a taboo. 2.They stopped boarding up when they got the talismans. The simple reason for getting rid of the boards is for light and air flow. Imagine a house that is closed off from air flow. Major example being the community house it would reek. They simply let their guard down because they went thru what 100+ some days I can't remember atm. Yes, people do at the worst times and places. I'm in the military and seen even the most disciplined people drop their standards in hostile environments. 3. Lot of the people doing stuff also comes down to the entity or whatever's influences. Yes, it's pretty much a plot armor but it has been shown particularly Sara from the start. Now we are seeing it with Boyd being the focus of the entity(s) and a tool. Bringing the worm/dream monster to town for example. 4. It's established that woods have no exit and change at a whim. Boyd has the most experience going into them outside of Victor. But now he has an understanding how bad it is, and they can bring thing back to town that are dangerous. We also don't know how long it took them to round up all of them since Boyd been there for a several years and it started with him. Losing a cow in the woods for even a week is a dead sentence at their current state.
It would be pretty boring if they did all the things you’ve said, some people share information but most of them just accept they can’t leave and when it’s dark go in your house. This season they will share more info and go on the attack FINALLY

Basically the writing is bad because any shred of common sense would destroy every thing
The windows most likely don't need to be boarded up because of the magic rocks. The diner specifically doesn't have any boards over the windows because no one lives there.
Dude, I totally agree with you ) What's also irritating, instead of working all day long in the field, the Fromville inhabitants are always fucking around doing nothing. And then they suddenly: "Boyd, we're out of food...". As if only that now-passed-away Chinese woman has to cook for 30 or 40 persons daily just out of her kindness. The only explanation is that Fromville influences people and makes everyone dumber, otherwise I can't explain why Victor and Tabita are hiding existence of the monster cave, given that literally each day monsters are feeding on someone new, potentially children.
If character were more intelligent then you would have totally different plot. Unfortunately, they need to be stupid at times. For example if you made them totally smart then you would have to end the plot in one season.
Don't overcalculate things.. it's a good show apart from some communication error btw people..maybe cuz of extreme stress i don't care it's still a solid show to watch🤷🏻♂️

Naaa theyve been in their long enough for that not to be an-excuse
nice video! you made a lot of very good points! as someone who loves this show and always recommends it, I have had issues with the stupidity of the characters and lack of communication! it has got to be shown in more detail if there are reasons why they (the main characters at least) aren't sharing all the information they have to get more brains on the problems! i was overall a fan of the first episode of S3 but the end couldn't of happened if they didn't act stupid! i hope they don't rely on characters being dumb in order to move the plot for the rest of this season because thar could be what ruins the show IMO!
I'm holding out hope but they are doing the same thing I hated about season 2 already. No one communicates wo they look like idiots and it's frustrating to watch. Jim, Boyd, Jade and Tabitha worked my nerves this episode, Ethan too actually because I started rewatching the show to refresh myself on the million mysterious things they hinted at that haven't gone anywhere yet and the first episode Boyd puts that guy in a cage because he didn't nail the window shut knowing kids are stupid(even though his wife was there and didn't even try to stop it), but yet that doesn't apply to Ethan even though he constantly does reckless, stupid child things. He was missing at the beginning of the episode, why is it even possible for him to get out at night or open anything? And don't get me started on Boyd, not even a lock on the barn? Even if they somehow didn't worry about the monsters, the other humans are trying to take them. For a show like this to work, the writers need to pay attention to details. We're supposed to believe that all these things have meaning and will come together but they can't even put the characters in scenes that make their actions make sense. I'm giving it a few episodes to feel it out but between that and already adding more monsters with whatever the cabins and totems are, I'm concerned.
They already said in season one that you nail in the windows to prevent children from opening. You only board up the opening if it was compromised/broken. You need to rewatch season one instead of putting out misinformation. I feel like you continuously do this..
The reason Boyd flipped out in episode 2 was because the father didn’t nail the windows shut, not because he didn’t board the windows. Dude you definitely need to look more into the videos you make.
The obvious reason why they stopped boarding up the windows was when Boyd found the talismans.

Guys I think you are all missing something. This place has bad energy. And the same way it has healed some people it has caused victor to loose / suppress memories and if it can do that im more than sure it is affecting everyone's sense of reason!!! The longer your there i believe this happens. So the lack of information sharing is being caused by the affects of the town.
You make a good point of the the search by Jim, but i like the writing as a whole... a mistake once or twice is human... people are stupid... that's what humans do...
I don’t agree with what you say, also if they all got together and talked first few seasons it would be over. Also it’s only been weeks in from since the Mathews came. So realistically they have not really been there that long. And all had their own stuff to deal with. I think the writers are great. Some mishaps but that can happen.

Ur argument goes out the window when u choose to ignore bad writing leaving info for no reason is dumb
I agree with the fact that these characters seem to be allergic to communication. I agree that asking Boyd how to get to the tower rather than Victor when the whole reason theyre going is to find Tabitha and Victor was who took her there... thats goofy. But some of this youre just over analyzing. Im sure Boyd's character would have known it was possibly a trap to draw them outside, but he couldnt have known some of the creatures were already in the barn. And Frank was scolded for not boarding his windows because he had a child. Thats the rule... "if you have kids you nail the windows shut!!!". Its not mandatory that everyone nail their windows. After discovering the talismans Im sure they took the boards off the windows because they knew as long as they keep them shut they were straight and being able to let the sunshine in and have some sense of normalcy is a must in a constant high stress situation like this. Thats why Soldiers and Marines will decorate their hooches in combat zones.
I enjoy the show but I'm afraid it will end up similar to lost, too much unanswered questions + creating more still. The show relies heavily on mystery but not at all on explanation
Thanks for calling out the obvious. The premise of the show is excellent, but the execution has been betond poor. There are way too many useless characters, some seemingly with no purpose and zero logic to their actions. Why don't they set traps for the monsters? Why has no one tried to learn more from Victor? Guns don't work against the monsters, but lets just keep them and shoot them nonetheless. Why no town hall meetings focused on problem solving?
Dan , i love your commentary , and i agree, the producers of this show have not given us one answer and they never will. and if they do it will be at the end of the show and the answers will be lame. did you ever watch LOST?
You are doing too much. Just because a character makes a bad decision or doesn’t act like you think they should doesn’t mean the writing is bad. The writing is to keep people engaged, so they will write things so people will yell at the tv screen. Have you never seen a scary movie when people run in the wrong direction and the audience yells at how that was a dumb move.
you take this seriously than you should its not real, its tv. you came for the 11 year old like he was a grown man in real life who chased the goat lol . Relax some, its only tv. Not many tv shows make complete 100 percent logical real life sense.
Gee I wonder how many show ideas Dan has tried to finesse with no luck? Better just stop watching because this show has given you an odd way of sentence structure and very strange voice and accent. Jarring to our ears 👂.
@smallkok3566 Certainly, people have opinions but to be watching a show and seeing all that's happening and then making a video or batching in comment sections about how much smarter you are or how much better you'd handle things in this nightmare situation is a little strange but congratulations I guess.
The one thing that annoys me about this show is the lack of communication between characters. If I were the leader, I would have a weekly town hall meeting, where all the residents would report any strange/weird occurances that they have seen/heard, or any places that they have discovered.
It's hack writing, unfortunately. It's the easiest way to create a conflict or crisis.
