I will skip season 3. Don't want to get "losted" again. It will be easy just pretend the season is not airing yet. I like the show but feels disjointed. The three person thing is clearly something they came up with between seasons and feels forced. If in said between seasons they came up with a whole story and path remains to be seen.
@@siddspain Yeah there's a lot of nonsense going on and the 3 person thing is like that dumb show Under the Dome which is same idea bunch of people trapped inside a mysterious invisible dome and need 4 hands to unlock the dome. Same thing here you need 3 sacrifice in chains like Martin and then bunch of ghost kids in some sacrificial chamber. Just go with it and enjoy the silliness. I'll bet the whole thing is a dream and they'll wake up from a coma like Tabitha after she gets pushed off the lighthouse and dies in the dream world she wakes up in the real world. Season 3 will be how can she go back to rescue everyone.
Lol man I was just thinking this!! it’s like everything that happens to everyone is a secret. Like no, if we’re going to be stuck in the twilight zone together then we need to report everything lol.
Yes, probably the worst thing about this season. Boyd did not even tell everyone what he found, which is the very reason he went into the forest with Sara to begin with. The lack of communication given this setting is worse actually than Lost, since the first several seasons the survivors did not know anything supernatural was happening to anyone but them, so there was at least a "reason" for it as they were afraid they were just seeing things or everyone would think they were nuts. But this is a place they cannot escape from being chased by indestructible monsters that they know can mimic humans and tells them lies..LOL. It takes me out of it anytime anyone on here thinks someone seeing something is nuts or they do not believe them. Like it is clearly a supernatural place so anything anyone sees would be relevant. It is eye rolling when anyone when asked what they know refuses to answer here. Just a naked device to not move the story forward too quick.
I dont think this will change, in fact Im pretty sure its being done intentionally. The writers want to prolong the story so theyre dumbing down the characters and making them act irrationally. They did this was Lost too; 3/4 of the plot was just characters not sharing important info almost to a degree of full on incompetence.
You have no idea how many times my blood was BOILING over the fact that no one suggested that everyone should come together and share their visions to see where it could all lead.
Well actually that’s what I’m trying to say while watching, but in our office, I realized that all of us are not really having conversations on how to solve problems so somehow I can relate to people going on in their own ways. It’s more realistic in sense. 😂😂
@@satorugojo5878that's why stranger things made us satisfied. But this one keeps you eager for the moment that everyone's visions and everything that happens( can't be explained) lead to a single fact . In stranger things the characters themselves reached to conclusions at the end but from hands over every decision and prediction to us
If Tabitha made it to the real world i think Victor's sister made it as well. Tabitha knows victors sister exists so maybe she'll go looking for her and figure out how to get everyone out.
dude i have a terrible feeling that they will make her lose memory in S3 , or worst make it that she wake up in an alternate universe where every person is fine but not them selves , and she will be treated like she is insane
but the problem is their age. is her sister still alive? victor is old and her sister is older. what if her sister is locked up in a mental facility because people dismiss her as crazy
@@this_name_is_not_available6923 Victor was probably 10 in 1978 which would make him 54-55 years old on the show. That's still relatively young. The sister is probably pushing 60.
Everyone saying that ppl need to talk and compare notes more- I agree. And its an issue of (possible) lazy writing but also a bit of reality when it comes to human beings; meaning, we dont always work together in a crisis towards our own best interests. Also- the actor who plays Boyd said that people not communicating well was an on-purpose plot point of S2 and with the action being almost non-stop, everyone was always reeling and didnt really have time to sit and reason. He said that in S3 this will be corrected and there will be a LOT of talking. Lol
Lack of communication is intentional here. This is a trick used to build tension and engage the audience. The makers/writers purposely show us characters having uniquely different pockets of information and it all comes together at the end, finally making sense. The audience wouldn't be dying to know the reality of this show, if we knew or could predict the plot.
Another show that employs this tactic is The umbrella academy. In every season every character is own his own journey and they all come together in the final episode.
I think whoever dies in town their ghost is also trapped there. And I also think that Victor's sister followed her mother to the tree, and that the mother never made it in, but the sister did. And the sister made it back to the real world and that she will somehow find Tabitha.
s1 was really SOOO good, I literally stayed up until 2 am just to finish all 10 episodes. However, the season 2 feels so slow and like the above person here said, it was all filler (except for few episodes). Wish they could wrap things up on season 3 now, I can't wait, hope it'll be as good as s1
@@hrf6548 theres more to the show than just the "Main" story line. i dont think theres any filler, you just dont like all of the story lines (and thats fine)....I enjoyed pretty much everything so i obviously disagree
@@JosephRuvelasyeah i felt like the “filler” always lead to a payoff, as long as theyre able to wrap it up in a neat bow during season 3 it will be amazing
On "feeding": I think breaking the music box and bringing the three back reduced the level of despair people had because it gave these people a feeling of agency. Thus reducing suffering. Because of this (or perhaps out of spite) the Antagonist Force decided that the people weren't despairing enough. So, no more summer: just winter where nothing can grow. Moreover, no more gunning for just people: it wants to put fear and suffering back into these people, thus the effigies.
Tabitha with the lunchbox is not an random act. She will manage to find eloise and the way she prooves Victor is alive is by showing her that lunchbox. Then, both will find a way to return to fromville and share they knoledge. The environment will push back (by the movement of the trees) and they will no longer find the bottle tree. Season 3 will be about that. And yes, the lighthouse works exactly like that torch, the fire (magic ball of fire) casts an illusion over that place that makes fromville what it is. print that; i'll see you guys next year.
There is a picture floating around of Julie and Ethan inside of Saint Anthony’s hospital in a waiting room, wearing the same clothes they were wearing in this last episode
Tabitha goes out through light house, Boyd uses torch to destroy music box, the monsters only goes out at night, there is something bigger related to light to get people free.
Thank you!! Great take. I've watched the From seasons a couple of times. Miraculously, I find new easter eggs! I'm also a little worried that none of the mysteries of this place will ever be explained. One of the characters in season 2 says something to the effect that " life is one big unexplained mystery. One planet circling a ball of fire." We're like the townspeople, trying to solve the unexplained mysteries. The truth these aren't mysteries just lies to foster hope, generate high optimism, that they will eventually escape. The entity controlling all of this only allows them to do stuff that fosters more hope...such as believing in the talismans, or the fox holes kept them alive, or they can talk to dead loved ones, or build a radio to communicate to the outside world, or that a small child (Victor) could survive 30 plus years on his own or the biggest lie, that Fromville actually exists! The dungeon only appears when Boyd lights the torch. Lighthouse shines a light that brings Fromville into existence! Fromville is built on deception and confusion.
i think its you only get to leave if you die a specific way cause the boy in white said this is the only way if you could die in any way and wake up wouldn't he just tell everyone to kill them selves to save them so i'm pretty sure everyone is dead this would also make sense in the symbolism of the lighthouse guiding you to safety if your lost and the light house being is the only know way to get out it's as if the light house is guiding lost souls back to the real world
I have a thought that maybe if the other folks that 'escape' into the 'real world' (maybe like Boyd's wife if she's there) don't remember being in the town and since Tabitha left the 'proper' way she'll have the recollection to jog the other escapee's memories of their ordeal. Also I couldn't see properly what was in the background atop the lighthouse, but the visuals reminded me of multiple waterfalls idk, it's probably something else though.
I was thinking the same thing with the other dead people also being back in the real world but with no recollection apart from tabitha (and possibly eloise).
I haven’t watch this video yet but i’m just assuming what i want to happen next season. - Tabitha would try to find Victor’s mom (now a very elderly woman) and grown sister to try inform the rest somehow. - A new survivor(s) came in with one being a officer or detective knowing at least half of them, trying to find them by recalling where they were last seen before vanishing. - Sara’s ability to communicate and Boyd’s worm sparks light and more closer to how they can get out. Unanswered questions like the teleportation three, seven trapped kids, the light tower, boy in white, those malnourished corpses, the random insects, mysterious phone calls and whatever better be explained before it got canceled. After least, elaborated just to get a clear view.
I dont think Tabitha dies in order to wake up in the real world. There is a portal... so after she breaks through the glass of the lighthouse, she falls through the portal to this other plane. Hence the cuts on her face when she wakes up. It could be the original plane she came from or a third plane that we are now being shown. To me that's the best way to justify the cuts on her face. Maybe from the original car crash? But it seemed more like cuts from falling face first through the glass. Unless this is a Freddy situation where you can get hurt in this other simulation/dream state...
I am not sure she is in the real world. The hospital's logo is the same as the Symbol Jade sees everywhere. Plus the name of the hospital is St Anthony's. He was the patron Saint of Ship wrecks and lost people ... light house ... lost people ... I feel like she could still be in the lighthouse.
@@michaelstephenson3144 I've wondered that too! If perhaps she isn't out at all. I agree the hospital name is sus.. but when I compared the jade symbol with the hospital logo and I didn't think they looked the same. Maybe that's just me 🤷♀️
A lot of people are wondering why everyone in the town does not have a meeting. If we’re in a town where monsters come at night, animals appear out of no where, no being able to leave the town but I tell someone about the far away tree and they say I’m crazy I wouldn’t look forward to a town meeting at all
Hooked on this show, cant wait for next season. Any other fans of shows like this please give me all your recommendations - looking for something else to binge.
Eloise is the old woman with uncurable disease? She made it to thr light house and crossed. Then eventually made it back again. Which is why she was excited?
You guys, they literally GIVE AWAY ANSWERS THE WHOLE TIME... When you think about it, None of this stuff that is happening is possible. I don't think it's magic. I think it's a nightmare that reflects every characters personal hell, their fears and hopes. There seems to be a lot of foreshadowing. Characters like Abby, Jim, Father Katri, Randall, Fatima, Donna, Sara, Victor and Ethan all give us hints throughout both seasons. My theory is that they are all in a dreamlike state. Boyd's wife said that she was shooting everyone to wake them up from the bad dream. Martin who was chained up, said "what if Abby was right, and this is all a bad dream". Fatima loves the view from their bedroom because she said it makes "even a nightmare look like a dream. Donna said this place easnt so bad because "IN HERE" the monsters have the decency to show you what they are. And Victor doesnt remember things, (that he had a sister for example) he says he doesnt know if it's real or it's a dream. People always forget dreams but they certainly don't forget huge events that happened 30 years ago in their childhood. Then in the last episode of season 2, Tabitha finally wakes up from a coma!!! Being in a coma is essentially like being asleep. How did she escape the town? She fell, she was pushed by the boy in white. When you fall in a dream, you wake up in real life before hitting the ground. Which indicates that when people in the town die, they wake up in the "real world" maybe that's what happens when you're stuck in a coma, you fight the "nightmare" til you eventually wake up from the coma. Same as when you're having a nightmare. You also think that your dreams are real, until you wake up. Which explains why they all think it's real. I think everyone in that town got into some kind of car accident, since they were all driving until they reached the tree. There's also some forshaddowing with this! When they were writing questions on the wall, Tabithawrore down "Did we survive from the RV?" Or something, not to mention they had a head on collision with Jade and his friend who were both high on drugs (two accidents simultaneously, in different places that lead both cars to that town)... That would also explain why they all come from different parts of the country but somehow end up in the same town. They are in a dreamlike state, stuck between life and death. Their souls are stuck in purgatory (the town) the souls are just waiting to either move on to the afterlife or make it back to the real world. Sometimes people are in between. Tabitha fought for her life end got out of the nightmarish coma. Wheras someone like Father Katri lost the fight becuase the monsters killed him. He prayed before he died, I think his soul moved on to heaven. He said "this is not how my journey was supposed to end" indicating that he wasn't ready to die in real life, but he lost his fight unfortunately. Jim was on to something with his theory of this being a kind of experiment. (Perhaps there's scientists running a simulation on people who are in comas. Anither clue was the bartender talking about the cat in the box. Alive and dead at the same time. The town is simply a spiritual realm, that's why eveything that happens is unrealistic.
wow you really disected this season, thank you for such a well put video. i also wanna note that they changed the drawing of the kids and lighthouse originally yellow and brown then yellow and blue.
16:09 That's an interesting proposition. Victor found his mother's body next to the bottle tree, he said she didn't make it in. But we know the little girl, Eloise, ran after the mom as soon as she left the hiding place. So perhaps the reason the mom died so close to the tree is bc she stopped to fend off the monsters while her *daughter,* Eloise, got into the trunk (and was teleported to the lighthouse). After all, Victor didn't mention anything about finding his sister's body... If that happened, I assume she would've went inside for shelter & naturally climbed to the top. There, perhaps the boy in white also pushed her over the edge & thus she was set free, with no way to return. (she might've also been placed in a mental hospital in the outside world, bc her memories would've sounded insane)
I guess Tilly could be The Mastermind behind a big devil ceremony. She wanted to live longer so she come to harvest the lives of each 80 years. All these people in the town are in some kind of evil purgatory. Their soul was trapped in this area. This Forest and the ceremony method has existed since Viking to harvest the soul to fight the evil/ god. The tower or the center of the zone. The center of zone normally have the weakest energy. So the wife can escape the zone of looping and back to the real world. As for Tilly, normally, people would not dance in the rain, because they believe they will be back in the bus. When she got off the bus, she was celebrating, and she had no intention to get back on the bus.
Look at the sign on the computer screen that says St Anthony hospital which you pointed out. It looks very similar to the sign which is took jade on a 'quest' into the caves
broooo call me crazy but i think you missed a big hint. When Tabatha awakes at the hospital, the camera pans to the computer screen at the hospital where you pointed out the hospital's name.However, I think the director was actually hinting at the logo of the hospital which looks like the same logo that we've all been seeing across the whole show, indicating that the children and the light house are all connected to the hospital!
I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE FIRST EPISODE THAT CAUSED HER TO GO INTO THAT TOWER. WHEN SHE SAW THE MONSTER, IT SEEMED TO APPEAR AS SOMEONE SHE MAY KNEW. SHE MAY HAVE CAUSED A DEATH OR COVERED UP A CRIME. I HOPE THEY ANSWER THAT
Not sure how to connect this in, but if we're looking at "hope" as a symbol for something, MULTIPLE times in the series so far the townspeople have called Boyd their "hope"
The problem here is that everyone in the show feels like they are the one that needs to do the saving and also no one want to share their findings,what they see in the visions and also findings… Like what the F…
I have to admit that this is the best Sci fi series that's kept me on the edge of my seat since. Season 3, let's go. Cause I need some serious answers 🙄.
dude i think when the boy pushed her from the lighthouse she just got teleported out of the town and thats what happened to victor's mother i think that the fall was the only way out and not a way to wake up
i got so annoyed that they didnt function like a team and try to figure it out together. but noo lets just split in groups and investigate our own visions and clues. And yes i belive jade was right from the start it is a escape room and i think lighthouse is what would lead out. cant wait for seasson 3
My theory is this: the Lighthouse is clearly the main symbol and the key of that place. Google says the lighthouses represent strength, safety, and sometimes death. In addition, they symbolize danger, isolation, or the end of a journey. So reaching its peak could be the way out of a coma or the way out of that dimension ( hell ? ). They are often talking about light in the dark and hope. Hope for what? Hope from getting back to life from the dead, of course. But just few subconscious have really the strenght to reach the light in the dark, to unravel symbols to find the way out, the others there are just lost souls or npc. Anyway, if this doesn't make too much sense, i know for sure that this show looks a lot like some movies like: Source Code, Dark City or The Maze Runner.
Can we all take recognition that the actor who plays Victor has done such an excellent job? He was a child when he got there, but with the environment and lack of adult guidance he was never able to mentally grow up and has remained (in a way) pure?
This town needs to have a nightly/weekly meeting where they all share ALL new information with each other. The lack of communication is KILLING us all 😂
Human's aren't, instinctively, great communicators. We all have our unique way of doing things. Trust issues, confidence issues, paranoia, doubt, stubbornness. The show expresses each of these traits really well among the characters. Some are more content, some are less patient, some are deeply confused, others embrace the weirdness. Some are more selfish. It's completely understandable that they haven't all simply sat down and had a meeting.
My predictions for the plot: -> Tabitha will team up with Eloise and find a way back -> Tabitha is gonna show the rest the exit route -> Most ppl will leave using the exit route -> A few brave will stay and fight the evil entity to ultimately destroy the place (probably Boyd and Kenny amongst a few others) -> A lot will lose their lives in this ultimate finale (some during escaping, some at the boss fight) I also think we probably gonna see some flashbacks to the very early days of fromville
In Friday the 13th (Game), when You die and Your friends uses the telephone, You respawn as another friend with a shotgun to kill Jason Vorgesse. My interpretion is that Tabitha will go crazy to find the enterance to the town again because the Fallen Tree is the reason of finding it into the town, and only if You see that fallen tree, You will actually find the town. But I believe She may appear in the final moments and the town will find an alternative out
I actually crave some flashbacks from the early days of Fromville or, hell, even just how the lives of residents were. People might have mixed opinions on flashbacks in Lost, but I think From would benefited from having some on their own. Not to mention that watching flashback is just plainly more interesting than having an expository monologue dump
honestly that would be a great ending also dragging this a long is just gonna hurt the show so they should end it while they can i saw somewhere that they had five seasons planned.
I think Tabitha is not the first. Victor's sister might have also made it out of the town. Victor's LUNCHBOX will be the way for Tabitha to reach Eloise. I will go out on a limb here to suggest that season 3 will alternate between two universes - Tabitha & Eloise on a quest to find a way back into the town vs Boyd and the gang figuring out at least some of the mysteries of the town. CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 3. HOPE FOR MORE EPISODES AND LONGER SEASON🤞
Definitely not. I think they'd be more than capable of wrapping all of it up in season 3 if that was their intentions. That's a lot of time to do a lot of stuff.
They could wrap it all up in one last Season but I think they are going to milk it and the shows current pace is pretty slow... I think they will go 5-7 seasons because of how big the show has gotten
@damlordTwendam unless there is something involved messing with time that wouldn't be possible, Eloise was Victor's older sister. If anyone on the town is Eloise I'd have to say itd be Tilly.
I think the reasoning in the show for Victor giving Tabatha the lunchbox is so that Victors Sister will recognise it in the 'Real World'. Tabatha will probably search for her.
@@red7703 no she didn't die victor only found his mother's body he never found the sister. i bet my money on the theory that victor's sister is in same hospital working as staff or maybe patient in some mental condition.
I think it’s a possibility she will be in the same hospital as Tabitha. Either she works there or could possibly be a patient in the psychiatric ward. If she told people about what she went through they would definitely think she was delusional.
I love this show. My one major gripe is that nobody shares the information they have learned with the other people, lol. Everyone has a piece of a puzzle, and just keeps it to themselves and head out on adventures alone
I mean I get why Dey don’t because NO TRUST nobody really knows anyone so Dey don’t know who can behind what or who but he’ll dey aint got no choice but to trust one another
I am surprised I haven't seen anyone else make the connection that the children repeatedly are showing us what they want them to do. They are knocking down that toy tower over and over again. And in the cave painting it shows the tower painted red (in this case we think that signifies evil). It seems clear to me that this is how they all go home. They have to destroy the lighthouse. In fact you could even make the case that the lighthouse is very much like the torch Boyd uses. It brings real people into this place that exists between life and the spirit world and keeps them trapped here until the light goes out.
That's a good theory but why is it only Tabitha can only see the lighthouse? Boyd, Donna, Kenny have all ventured into the forest but have never spotted the lighthouse.
@@candizippie What's worse is that the more easily impressed fans lap it up and subsequently enable them to essentially waste an amazing concept and premise. I watched a few other mystery series this week and the writing and acting, for one, beats From, but they're still not as lucky to have such a maleable and intriguing concept which the writers just WASTE. Why are people saying we finally got answers this episode??? WE DIDN'T, the writers just dug the hole deeper and honestly I don't think they know where they are going with all of this. Too many loose ends, too many plotholes, too many Deus Ex Machina and saving face by alluding to a Lovecraftian mystery. Newsflash!!!! You writers aren't Lovecraft!!! So don't try it!!! It's such a cop out! Lazy writers!
I think the lighthouse may be the only way of escaping, and every time someone escapes from the lighthouse a bottle is added to the bottle tree with the date they escaped . This would explain why the bottle Boyd opened was showing one of the dates carved in the lighthouse, and why a bottle fell down the stairs as Tabitha was going up the lighthouse.
This was an issue I more or less had with season 2. Each individual episode by themselves is great imo, but in terms of building a narrative, it definently needs to start solving more mysteries than leaving more mysteries. With Season 3's announcement, I hope it will be the start of the writer's solving more than leaving more mysteries.
No matter what, I honestly think Victor will be the key to end all of this. Not because he has been their the longest or because he has helped Tabitha and Jade with major plot points in the series. But, because he seems to be the only one not affected by the place. He's also the only one that doesn't want to leave, or if anything, isn't in a rush to do so. "This is my home." I love Victor but for someone who has been in that place for 30+ years he has to know more than he's letting on, even if he doesn't remember. Hell, its only been at most a couple months since Season 1 has started and Tabitha is already back in the real world. Can you imagine what they could do with 30 years?
Victor is just too scarred, he's still a little boy. And I'm certain when he escapes, he will wake up as a little boy again. The dimension they're in doesn't give a crap about time, seeing as how Tabitha was supposedly in only a 3 day coma.
@@robyou8511you are totally wrong about the time thing, because when kristi met marielle, marielle told her she has been searching her for 6 months, and also she became drug addict because of her, it means time is same in both worlds
Seems like Boyd's wife shooting people and Tabitha being pushed out of the light house have something to do with escaping the town. Perhaps when people are killed by the demons it feeds the entity with their suffering. However, if people die or are 'killed' by other means they end up back in the real world outside of the town.
@@rskl8083we also never saw her actually hit the ground. I bet that the victims are in a coma, if they die in the town they die in real life, but if they go through the lighthouse, which may be a portal of sorts, they make it out alive.
The season finale tried to redeem this season but let’s be real… this is what should have happened: *Season 2 Episode 1* *Boyd: ”Yo guys so I’m back from the woods, saw a bottle tree, got bitten by a giant spider, and saw a massive lighthouse”* *Victor: “Oh word? I know about the bottle tree and the lighthouse and my mom said going there can help everyone go home”* *Everyone: “Alright bet let’s go there in the morning”* Literally no other filler BS had to happen this season.
Yeah that's my problem with the show too. The fact that nobody talks to each other feels so forced. The show needs everyone to keep secrets for some reason. Meanwhile, it feels like nothing happens in the rest of the episodes.
I get that but it's a show. They drag it out for content. It is frustrating that they don't share everything with each other but then the show would be over lol if you don't like it just don't watch it. it's that simple.
@@levinia333 I didn't say I didn't like it. I happen to think the world building and surreal aspects are great, I just think the interpersonal drama between the characters that fills up the run time isnt compelling enough, compared to say the early seasons of Lost where the characters were interesting. I'm allowed to watch and critique a show.
Unless u go back but from another dimension and another person’s body. Because the reflection of Tabitha on the hospital’s window was a different person.
“I’m hoping next season provides us with some big revelations.” I’m thinking the forest is a metaphor for the writers. They feed on our hope and then destroy us.
Also one thing I wondered about was the attempt to radio for help. The moment they got "someone" on the line, everybody realized they had no idea what to tell the outside world. "Help, we're stuck in this place with monsters and can't get out, also we can't tell you where it is, please help us", yeah what would that have accomplished? Even if they had somehow managed to convince a high ranking theoretical physicist from the government, what exactly would "help" have been looking for? And even if, hypothetically, they'd be able to send the entire military in there, they'd just be stuck as everyone else.
What I’d tell them is everyone’s names who are there to show that’s where the missing people ended up, as for how much help the outside world will be seems a little indeterminate until the next season comes out with Tabitha on the other side, however I still think this place exists somewhere in the outside world and escaping a maze is a lot easier when have someone outside yelling.
So… here’s what I’m thinking: “Fromville” is, in essence, a Nightmare. The seven children were used in some sort of ritual to make a nightmare manifest, creating a physical reality out of it. There was a lot of talk about dreams in this finale, with I think is a huge hint. That’s why things seemingly don’t make sense. Medieval castles, spooky woods, actual freaking monsters, even ghosts… all things a child might see in a nightmare. That’s why the story Jim tells his son is repeatedly referenced. A scary bedtime story might give a kid a nightmare, and in Fromville, nightmares are very real. Even the music box is an item you might place on a child’s bedside table to help them sleep, but this music box is broken, worn, damaged. Its purpose has been twisted. Now, for clarification: That doesn’t mean the whole show *is* a dream. If there are any Lovecraft fans out there, Fromville would basically be somewhere in the Dreamlands. It’s a place that is accessed in dreams, but also by other means. A very real dimension of existence that plays host to the things and beings we see in our dreams or nightmares.
Very good theory! Your definitely onto something with that. That was my thoughts too about it, and especially with the ending and what happened with Tabitha. You know when your having a dream and all of a sudden you starting falling in it and it jolts you awake..I think that's why the little boy pushed her out of the tower to jolt her awake out of the nightmare.
I personally think that the voice on the other end is Fromland itself directly speaking. The same entity that creates electricity from underground and the same one that emits a low freaquency static on the radio. Whats more is I think that the whole forrest is the entity in itself. This Oncooey being I think was created through the light house ritual where those 7 or so kids were sacraficed and exists as a network of roots beneath the land.
Im a bit confused how this could be a dream since time clearly passes by in both "Fromville" and the "real world." We know time in "Fromville" correlates with the "real world" when kristi met marielle, marielle told her she has been searching her for 6 months. There has to be a way the the body within the real world to be maintained, which makes this theory unlikely, only possible if theres a "mastermind" and actually running a simulation (kinda lame in my opinion). And this mastermind theory still leaves many questions like how time go by so seemlessly when traveling between worlds seen when they first encountered the fallen tree.
The Bottle Tree traps evil spirits and Boyd took one down in season one. Sarah said he shouldn't do that. I think that's when the evil spirit got out. The other bottles probably contain other horrors. When Tabitha had her dream of inside the tower in season one, she kicked a bottle down the stairs. Boyd tells Donna "if the three die, there's no putting the genie back in the bottle". Too many bottles for coincidence. Tabitha taking Victor's lunchbox with her to the "real world" is def no coincidence either/ I'm willing to bet that someone will recognize it and they'll work together to get back and save everyone.
That’s my problem with the tower leading you to the “real world” victor would have known cause the boy in white would have BEEN showed him. I don’t think it leads you out but to another level of whatever reality they in. The boy even apologized to pushing her out. Why would he apologize if he was pushing her home.
@@kcakiidBecause hes showing her that the lighthouse is a lie. She escaped from being pushed out of the lighthouse right? She broke a window on that thing before she left meaning she damaged the building on her way out before reawaking in reality. It appears that if the townsfolk manage to destroy the lighthouse then they can escape. He pushed her out because she would have never guessed that the lighthouse was evil. Whats more comforting than seeing a lighthouse when your in the dark? The last thing youd expect is for it to be evil or worse. And the last thing youd ever want to do is try destroy that comforting light. Which is what makes it the perfect object to misdirect people to their own deaths. The perfect lie in other words.
Also if you didn’t notice, the bottle says 1864 , civil war times. And when Tabitha has the vision of climbing the tower, she sees dates scratched onto the stairs, one says 1864, boyd opened that bottle up while jade earlier got chased by a civil war soldier who looked burnt or dead or something?? I couldn’t tell but burnt like Freddy krueger, maybe there is supposed to be 8 children, the one in the middle of teh circle is Victor but he survived as he stayed inside, one of the children is maybe his sister
I thought I was the only one who suspected Tilly. Tilly is too calm to be in such a fucked up place. She always knows things. She is like the Grandpa (001) in Squid Game.
For me it's Victor. He is what's keep the game running. I don't believe he survived by just hiding. He's the mastermind I think. He's the one who knows everything and made it seem like he's also broken just like the others. Maybe part of his story is true like he lost his mother and his sister. Maybe he did and that's what make him create a simulation, a world where he can play. He looks suspicious to me. Eversince. No one gets to survive that long by just hiding especially when you're just a kid
They should make this a game franchise, with generative AI to make your decisions consequential and no game overs. You kill a character, another drives into the town for you to use.
Mystery series are fun but two seasons in, few things answered, I do worry if this time next year we'll be saying the same thing: "we're left with more questions than answers but hopefully next season..." I feel like they're spreading things too thin, and therefore it's hard to really invest in certain characters. I find Fatima and Ellis completely disinteresting, for example, and the wedding fell well and truly flat. Someone like Jade, however, I can't wait to see more of what he does but we just don't get enough of people like him who are trying to figure thjngs out
I have a hard time remembering the names of the characters on this show because they are not fleshed out. I do enjoy Boyd, Donna, Randall, and Jade because all of them are go-getter characters. Or maybe they’re more experienced actors so they are more interesting on screen.
@ashley.taylor174 I think it's the first thing, they're go-getters. It's always confused me why they're not trying to learn as much as possible every single day. Most are just so apathetic
Agree, I found myself fast forwarding with Fatim and Ellis. There is a-lot of woffel that happens in season 2 and just wish they would get to the point and start finding some answers. I also think was a waste of screen time when they guy stole guns and shot Boyd. I will be so pissed off if season 3 is delayed or not made and wish they can start answering some questions. Season 3 will only come out in another year :(
Then stop watching. You've had two seasons to decide. If your looking for quick answers. Just get off board now. Your not getting them until later. They start answering questions it will be over.
I feel like they gave just enough clues and answers to make season 3 worth the wait. I love this show and it's unique to anything else currently on air. Now finales over definitely going go back re watch them
It’s clear the boy is still playing a game in the car with his sister. And the show is the real life version of the game he is making up. He knows so much, the drawings, the rules, what’s going to happen next, the quests
@@justinsanegaming9724 We didnt get awnsers but we got loads of info that helps narrow down whats happening. I think season 2 is very good at telling you whats happening, it just respects the intelligence of the audience too much to spoonfeed us all the awnsers.
@@gavinferguson2938 We got answers to an extent they answer certain things vaguely and that in my opinion is up to interpretation which is part charm of the show. However they definitely keep giving us hints on how things work just very shrouded which is fine by me
I’m late on this but I’m obsessed with this series. I’ve watched 1 and 2 and I’ve learned or heard something new each time. What I do think is Abbie is not trying to help. I think she is always trying to get Boyd to go with her and he doesn’t. But I believe she has either crossed over or the evil has co-opted her to taunt Boyd. Anywho I can’t wait till next season. 10 episodes is not enough. Oh oh take a look at they reflection in the window when Tabitha looks out. It’s not her reflection.
So, if Boyd saw Julie and the others chained in that place, while their bodies were elsewhere, does that mean that Martin is a living man, whose body was in another location (or time)?
The chained room just like music box is literal and figurative. Martin was literally real and there because he transferred the worms to Boyd. However, the chained room is in another realm and Julie and the others screams or souls were chained there.
That’s seems pretty wishy washy. Some people are physically there while others are only there in an ephemeral way. Plus I’m pretty sure Boyd touches Julie when he runs over to her. No one has seen what happens when Boyd goes to Martin. I think if someone was watching Boyd they might see him go into a trance in just stand there until he returns. One counter argument to what I just said is that the 3 new prisoners have the weird gray eyes but Martin and Boyd have normal eyes. So there does seem to be some sort of difference. Something just occurred to me. When it was revealed the three were dying it was said, once they die that it. But why say that? Isn’t that true for anyone? Once you die, you are dead. So why state that unless in this case, when you die,”that’s it” doesn’t mean just dead. Maybe “that’s it” means now you are fully and completely trapped in the dungeon and your body is there as well?
Sarah said the town might be turning people's nightmares into realities, so assuming that's true Eloise is probably dead because she drew the Civil Soldiers that Jade was haunted by. Viktor mentions that his sister was scared of the stories her mother told her about the soldiers.
There is one thing that seems no one noticed, and makes my head hurt thinking about it... at the beginning of episode 1, season 2, who threw the rope for boyd to climb out of the pit? That old dude was chained to the wall and there was no one else around, so who did it??
I think it was just an affirmation that beings and objects in Fromville are not governed by the regular laws of physics, and things are often materialized or “conjured up” out of nowhere, thus further affirming that they are designed and controlled by an overseeing force.
That's why I think Martin is evil. I think he tricked Boyd so he could infect him and replace the others with his locust plague. I don't think Martin was an actual person, most likely an evil entity.
The hills (and vantage point) viewed from her hospital window were the exact same hills as viewed from the top of the lighthouse. It almost like the Director was trying to tell us that FROMville sits upon the same land taken from time and space.
but dude , she was found in a forest and transported to the hospital , it doesn't make sense for her to see the same view ; that being said its a good observation
@@botmoderator3405 and keep in mind those boats in that mural in the cave. The only water in this place was that pond they were going to swim. I remember Elgin taking much interest in that pond.
I have a theory about Tabby's ending. She went to the tower to rescue the children because that's where Victor's mom believed they were. But there were no children in the tower right? Then the boy in white says "this is the only way" and pushes her out the window. I'm thinking Victor's mom wasn't exactly wrong about where the children are. The children aren't IN the tower, but the tower is a portal to where the children are. And the boy in white meant "this is the only way" to save the children. I think they're in St. Anthony hospital, maybe being experimented on due to having been born with psychic powers or something like that. So Tabby has to find and rescue them there in the real world. I was also thinking in that scene where they appear around Jade in the cave, I've heard people theorize that the rocks they're lying on represent altars. But what if the rocks actually represent hospital beds? And the children are lying on them as they look up at Jade's symbol, which is strangely similar to the symbol of St. Anthony Hospital (shown on the computer monitor).
I 100% that tabitha’s journey isn’t over but I don’t think she’s in the real world. Maybe another part of the reality they’re in. Maybe the people in the hospital are evil and try to make her think she’s back but she soon realizes that it’s just another reality and has to escape
This is a great theory. St. Anthony is the saint most Catholics pray to for lost things or finding one’s path. He is known to help people find what they are looking for. In Tabby’s case, the children or maybe Victor’s sister?
Ohhh! Victor's mom probably took the sister to the lighthouse and then went back to get Victor and was killed! I kinda wonder if Victor really knows how to leave the place and he's just not saying. He's constantly holding on to information
Maybe he thinks trying to escape killed his mom so he doesn't want to say anything. Plus we know he doesn't want to leave its the only home he has known.
@@beewest5704yep I agree. We have to remember he has a mind of a child. He has never truly grown up or developed well. He doesn't want to accidentally cause the deaths of others. His mother was found dead when she tried to leave or find answers. Of course Victor would be reluctant to talk so much about it. It's actually quite frustrating to see everybody trying to threaten and harass him
Anyone else notice the patient room number? 2225 (2+2 2+5)= 47. I might be reaching but I think it’s something considering how the number 47 is/was. That’s definitely not Tabitha in the reflection of the window. And the hospital logo looking eerily like the symbol?!?! I think this is just a different level of the simulation or wherever they are.
EXACTLY what I’ve been thinking. And the room number!! Holy shit. The number 47 being everywhere, I think Tilly is somehow connected as she mentioned she had 4 children and 7 grandchildren.
"They touch, they break, they steal, no one here is free" Touch: Julie (touch everyone's lives) Break: Randall (breaks rules) Steal: Marielle (stole medicine) maybe explains why they got chosen.
Technically that applies to everyone there. They all steal what doesn't belong to them. All of their clothes and belongings belong to deceased people. They break things, likd Donna mashing up the house. Jim and Jade running around tearing up lamps and anything with wires in it. And they all touch each other's lives. We've seen ellis, fatima, boyd, donna, jim, Tabitha. Literally everyone do all of those things.
I truly believe that Julie touched & took the flower in season 1 from the front of house colony & placed it in her room. Next episode you see a female creature with the same flower Julie took outside the window that got in the house, due to Kevin falling in love with her.
If the only way out is the lighthouse, then that’s messed up because there’s no way for you to go back and share this information with the others once you’re out. Victor mentions that his mother never made it to the bottle tree, but we’re never told anything about Eloise, which suggests that she made it out.
@@Skinniest_KweenHe was a child when a whole town was murdered, including both his mother and, to his knowledge, his sister. He obviously has multiple forms of trauma and PTSD which explains his behavior. Also we know that he trauma blocked out memories, which means he wasn’t withholding information intentionally, and if he was it was to keep others safe, because that’s why he was drawing.
@@xxcheesexx6960 oh, I know all this, and I get it. I just don’t care. He needs to pull his socks up and realise its game time. Lot of people saw a lot of messed up shit in this place.
^ Exactly. It’s no fucking excuse at this point in the show. Victor needs to man up and share the info he has. He sees Fromville as his home, so he is purposely not trying to escape and clearly doesn’t want to help the others escape either. So many stupid fuckass characters in this show that I’ve literally started to skip over each time they pop up in a scene. Marielle, Elgin, Victor, Ellis have become permanent skips for me. I just don’t care about the side stories anymore. It was kinda endearing during season 1, but now I’m only interesting in Jade, Jim, Boyd & Tabitha. Sara is tolerable. Kenny is a crybaby bitch & Kristi & Marielle are completely useless. They only added that story arc between them just to show off an LGBT couple. Makes me roll my eyes so hard.
Okay I have a wild theory. The “Angkhooey” the children keep chanting “looks” quite similar to St. “Anthony” , the hospital Tabitha woke up in. I think the scene of Jade surrounded by the 7 children looking up to see that symbol might mirror the reality of the children strapped up in a lab of some sort and looking up at the hospital logo. They are constantly drugged up (I think they power the entire experiment or whatever) and the “Angkhooey” they chant is the blurry recognition they have of where they are. The kids also being in white definitely gives lab/hospital vibes.
I thought similar with the logo on the monitor next to the hospital bed when Tabitha woke up. I found it odd they would show this, when shortly after the nurse says the hospital name
I think the angkhoeey is Anthony but how they pronounce it. I could definitely see this with no questions asked being Anthony as in ST. Anthonys. I can see it being an experiment and when they die in the other world/town they die in real life but like Tabitha did she went to the lighthouse our guiding light and was pushed out but instead of it being an evil place it was the only way to escape the town. I definitely can see this being the case in the show.
Life Lessions from FROM : 1. Just remember... Next time if you see a broken tree on the road, just push/pull it with your vehicle to make a little bit of space and go straight, no TURNING BACK, okay. 2. Just remember... Next time whoever knocks your door or window at night, DO NOT OPEN. 3. Just remember... If you are in a really bad situation that you can't hope for an EXIT, learn to LIVE with it, DO NOT FINGER your DESTINY. 4. Just remember... Just because you've been living with Netflix and Prime, do not UNDERESTIMATE the legend...MGM+ that brought you Tom & Jerry since your father was born.
I think tabithas stroyline season 3 being trying to go back is going to answer a few questions. Namely what conditions are needed when people get trapped and where they are. So this gives me hope that we will get all our questions answered at the end of the show
@@themiskatonicsociety2087 😂 you think they are making it up as they go? I'm wondering the direction this show will take, if they can get on a freaking path that makes sense...but that's wishful thinking.
@@themiskatonicsociety2087 you do realise for the production companies to greenlight stuff like this they'd need an overall outline of the shows direction. They aint gonna spend millions on a "50% wing it project". Its more likely that the reason our questions arent being answered is because they want to make more seasons and money.
Just a thought, if the entity relies on hope then that scene with Tilly doing the pray with the 7 was the smoking gun that she's not to be trusted. She's basically providing hope to that group. Tilly is the entity.. Final answer
@@fourfistsforfunk or maybe that really is Abby telepathically communicating through a dream.. I think if you die in from by the town you stay dead, however if you die by someone good you live.
I don't think the writers know where they want to go with the plot. There are easily 50 different questions that can't be explained away unless it's "dream" or "simulation" stuff to just blur the lines. There's no good answer that's going to make the last 2 seasons satisfying bc the pacing is bad and they would rather create new issues instead of solving ANY OF THE OLD ONES!! It drags. Ps Victor is a plot device. You mean to tell me you knew this went to the lighthouse the whole time ? GTFOH
exactly what you said bro, they have provided so many loose ends that either they're going to need to spend an entire season explaining them (which wouldn't be surprising because of how slow the pace has been) or they're going to have some really shitty writing that quickly explains all these random mysteries. Another option is they just leave a shit ton of plot holes which is annoying because all of us are here analyzing every single detail. I started off being absolutely captivated by this series, but tbh I'm starting to think we are going to end up extremely disappointed.
@@daftfreak13 right. Same thing I'm thinking. It's hard to see an ending that makes sense and doesn't sound like some lame cover all bs story. They had a good start. Then went 20 directions and now it's witchcraft, magic, aliens, demons, time warp, spiders, sleep monsters, cicadas, worms, ghosts, time loops, etc etc etc. like a collection of stories instead of a coherent cohesive idea. I already know I'll be mad when they finish if they finish
Its a horror/thriller, it doesnt need to explain everything. Just because its not explained doesnt mean it didnt have some form of law or order it follows.
From is where several dimensions intersect. Jade changes dimensions when she sees the symbols. Sara can hear other dimensions. Boyd brought parasites from one dimension to another. Tabitha is trapped in another. Radio and lights can help communicate between parallel realities
Boy, I can just feel the pending disappointment from the series finale. This whole season was basically a filler and they are pilling mysteries upon mysteries upon mysteries. Even if this show has 20 seasons, if they keep the current format - 90% of the introduced plot points will get no resolution.
Isn't "filler" just part of every show? It's nice to get answers but the show is so much more than just solving the mystery. It's also the interactions between characters, character development, the building of the From "universe."
They touch, they break, they steal is not talking about the people in the town, it is describing those in control there. They touched, they broke{dead lady in ep 9), they steal(yo life). All the RUclips theories and reddit all have it wrong imo. They touch them in their sleep. they break their body, then they steal their life. Loved the detail in your videos, just wanted to share my opinion.
What can be touched broken or stolen ? A heart ✊ Julie touched Elgins heart with her warmth Marielle stole Kristys heart with love and getting clean Randall broke Jim's heart when he took his idea to find answers and corrupted it

Akkooey means *HELP US
1978(most recent number on the steps) + 47 (our lucky number) = 2025!! 🫣 That gives us 2 more seasons!!!
I will skip season 3. Don't want to get "losted" again. It will be easy just pretend the season is not airing yet. I like the show but feels disjointed. The three person thing is clearly something they came up with between seasons and feels forced. If in said between seasons they came up with a whole story and path remains to be seen.
@@siddspain Yeah there's a lot of nonsense going on and the 3 person thing is like that dumb show Under the Dome which is same idea bunch of people trapped inside a mysterious invisible dome and need 4 hands to unlock the dome. Same thing here you need 3 sacrifice in chains like Martin and then bunch of ghost kids in some sacrificial chamber. Just go with it and enjoy the silliness. I'll bet the whole thing is a dream and they'll wake up from a coma like Tabitha after she gets pushed off the lighthouse and dies in the dream world she wakes up in the real world. Season 3 will be how can she go back to rescue everyone.
It’s time for a town meeting - the lack of information sharing is a plot hole.
They need mandatory community meetings every 12 hours 😂
Lol man I was just thinking this!!
it’s like everything that happens to everyone is a secret. Like no, if we’re going to be stuck in the twilight zone together then we need to report everything lol.
Yes, probably the worst thing about this season. Boyd did not even tell everyone what he found, which is the very reason he went into the forest with Sara to begin with. The lack of communication given this setting is worse actually than Lost, since the first several seasons the survivors did not know anything supernatural was happening to anyone but them, so there was at least a "reason" for it as they were afraid they were just seeing things or everyone would think they were nuts.
But this is a place they cannot escape from being chased by indestructible monsters that they know can mimic humans and tells them lies..LOL. It takes me out of it anytime anyone on here thinks someone seeing something is nuts or they do not believe them. Like it is clearly a supernatural place so anything anyone sees would be relevant. It is eye rolling when anyone when asked what they know refuses to answer here. Just a naked device to not move the story forward too quick.
agree
I dont think this will change, in fact Im pretty sure its being done intentionally. The writers want to prolong the story so theyre dumbing down the characters and making them act irrationally. They did this was Lost too; 3/4 of the plot was just characters not sharing important info almost to a degree of full on incompetence.
You have no idea how many times my blood was BOILING over the fact that no one suggested that everyone should come together and share their visions to see where it could all lead.
Well actually that’s what I’m trying to say while watching, but in our office, I realized that all of us are not really having conversations on how to solve problems so somehow I can relate to people going on in their own ways. It’s more realistic in sense. 😂😂
It ain't Stranger Things bruv
@@satorugojo5878that's why stranger things made us satisfied. But this one keeps you eager for the moment that everyone's visions and everything that happens( can't be explained) lead to a single fact . In stranger things the characters themselves reached to conclusions at the end but from hands over every decision and prediction to us
I stopped watching 😂it for this reason
!!! I thought the same thing. Or when a person goes somewhere and doesn't warn where he or she is going…why?!
If Tabitha made it to the real world i think Victor's sister made it as well. Tabitha knows victors sister exists so maybe she'll go looking for her and figure out how to get everyone out.
dude i have a terrible feeling that they will make her lose memory in S3 , or worst make it that she wake up in an alternate universe where every person is fine but not them selves , and she will be treated like she is insane
I thought same thing
but the problem is their age. is her sister still alive? victor is old and her sister is older. what if her sister is locked up in a mental facility because people dismiss her as crazy
@@this_name_is_not_available6923 Victor was probably 10 in 1978 which would make him 54-55 years old on the show. That's still relatively young. The sister is probably pushing 60.
Interesting theory! 😳
Everyone saying that ppl need to talk and compare notes more- I agree. And its an issue of (possible) lazy writing but also a bit of reality when it comes to human beings; meaning, we dont always work together in a crisis towards our own best interests.
Also- the actor who plays Boyd said that people not communicating well was an on-purpose plot point of S2 and with the action being almost non-stop, everyone was always reeling and didnt really have time to sit and reason.
He said that in S3 this will be corrected and there will be a LOT of talking. Lol
Lack of communication is intentional here. This is a trick used to build tension and engage the audience. The makers/writers purposely show us characters having uniquely different pockets of information and it all comes together at the end, finally making sense.
The audience wouldn't be dying to know the reality of this show, if we knew or could predict the plot.
Another show that employs this tactic is The umbrella academy. In every season every character is own his own journey and they all come together in the final episode.
I think whoever dies in town their ghost is also trapped there. And I also think that Victor's sister followed her mother to the tree, and that the mother never made it in, but the sister did. And the sister made it back to the real world and that she will somehow find Tabitha.
The mother died by the tree how could Eloise have made it further
@@Kswiss25 Her body was never found.. no way that's by accident.
The best series I've seen so far. Unpredictable, exciting and scary. I really like it.
S2 was all filler except 2 eps
U kidding it was a shit show with horrible writing. The story literally goes no where
s1 was really SOOO good, I literally stayed up until 2 am just to finish all 10 episodes. However, the season 2 feels so slow and like the above person here said, it was all filler (except for few episodes). Wish they could wrap things up on season 3 now, I can't wait, hope it'll be as good as s1
@@hrf6548 theres more to the show than just the "Main" story line. i dont think theres any filler, you just dont like all of the story lines (and thats fine)....I enjoyed pretty much everything so i obviously disagree
@@JosephRuvelasyeah i felt like the “filler” always lead to a payoff, as long as theyre able to wrap it up in a neat bow during season 3 it will be amazing
On "feeding":
I think breaking the music box and bringing the three back reduced the level of despair people had because it gave these people a feeling of agency. Thus reducing suffering.
Because of this (or perhaps out of spite) the Antagonist Force decided that the people weren't despairing enough. So, no more summer: just winter where nothing can grow. Moreover, no more gunning for just people: it wants to put fear and suffering back into these people, thus the effigies.
Tabitha with the lunchbox is not an random act. She will manage to find eloise and the way she prooves Victor is alive is by showing her that lunchbox. Then, both will find a way to return to fromville and share they knoledge. The environment will push back (by the movement of the trees) and they will no longer find the bottle tree. Season 3 will be about that.
And yes, the lighthouse works exactly like that torch, the fire (magic ball of fire) casts an illusion over that place that makes fromville what it is.
print that; i'll see you guys next year.
Ooooo, I really like this idea!
Read this right after I posted a similar theory, I'm with you on this one.
im liking every theory that made more sense in the comment sec.
One of the things I was hoping she did was destroy the gears and levers powering up the Light House
But victor keeps track of the trees so he’ll be able to know where the bottle tree is unless it moves drastically
underrated serie
There is a picture floating around of Julie and Ethan inside of Saint Anthony’s hospital in a waiting room, wearing the same clothes they were wearing in this last episode
Where? What episode?
What picture? That seems like a huge revelation if it’s true.
I had my eye on old lady Tilley too! She said she’s been riding all over the country to different places, perhaps searching for the tree.
Have so many questions but the one thing I can say for sure, is that I can’t stand Randall
Tabitha goes out through light house, Boyd uses torch to destroy music box, the monsters only goes out at night, there is something bigger related to light to get people free.
This is really becoming similar to Lost with a little bit of Alice in the borderlands. Possibly a similar ending of a mixture of both.
Thank you!! Great take. I've watched the From seasons a couple of times. Miraculously, I find new easter eggs! I'm also a little worried that none of the mysteries of this place will ever be explained. One of the characters in season 2 says something to the effect that " life is one big unexplained mystery. One planet circling a ball of fire."
We're like the townspeople, trying to solve the unexplained mysteries. The truth these aren't mysteries just lies to foster hope, generate high optimism, that they will eventually escape. The entity controlling all of this only allows them to do stuff that fosters more hope...such as believing in the talismans, or the fox holes kept them alive, or they can talk to dead loved ones, or build a radio to communicate to the outside world, or that a small child (Victor) could survive 30 plus years on his own or the biggest lie, that Fromville actually exists! The dungeon only appears when Boyd lights the torch. Lighthouse shines a light that brings Fromville into existence! Fromville is built on deception and confusion.
i think its you only get to leave if you die a specific way cause the boy in white said this is the only way if you could die in any way and wake up wouldn't he just tell everyone to kill them selves to save them so i'm pretty sure everyone is dead this would also make sense in the symbolism of the lighthouse guiding you to safety if your lost and the light house being is the only know way to get out it's as if the light house is guiding lost souls back to the real world
This is an excellent analysis.
I have a thought that maybe if the other folks that 'escape' into the 'real world' (maybe like Boyd's wife if she's there) don't remember being in the town and since Tabitha left the 'proper' way she'll have the recollection to jog the other escapee's memories of their ordeal.
Also I couldn't see properly what was in the background atop the lighthouse, but the visuals reminded me of multiple waterfalls idk, it's probably something else though.
I was thinking the same thing with the other dead people also being back in the real world but with no recollection apart from tabitha (and possibly eloise).
I haven’t watch this video yet but i’m just assuming what i want to happen next season.
- Tabitha would try to find Victor’s mom (now a very elderly woman) and grown sister to try inform the rest somehow.
- A new survivor(s) came in with one being a officer or detective knowing at least half of them, trying to find them by recalling where they were last seen before vanishing.
- Sara’s ability to communicate and Boyd’s worm sparks light and more closer to how they can get out.
Unanswered questions like the teleportation three, seven trapped kids, the light tower, boy in white, those malnourished corpses, the random insects, mysterious phone calls and whatever better be explained before it got canceled. After least, elaborated just to get a clear view.

Seems like one of the reasons the episode was titled ‘Once Upon a Time?”
I dont think Tabitha dies in order to wake up in the real world. There is a portal... so after she breaks through the glass of the lighthouse, she falls through the portal to this other plane. Hence the cuts on her face when she wakes up. It could be the original plane she came from or a third plane that we are now being shown.
To me that's the best way to justify the cuts on her face. Maybe from the original car crash? But it seemed more like cuts from falling face first through the glass.
Unless this is a Freddy situation where you can get hurt in this other simulation/dream state...
I am not sure she is in the real world. The hospital's logo is the same as the Symbol Jade sees everywhere. Plus the name of the hospital is St Anthony's. He was the patron Saint of Ship wrecks and lost people ... light house ... lost people ... I feel like she could still be in the lighthouse.
@@michaelstephenson3144 I've wondered that too! If perhaps she isn't out at all.
I agree the hospital name is sus.. but when I compared the jade symbol with the hospital logo and I didn't think they looked the same. Maybe that's just me 🤷♀️
I don’t understand why the sheriff Boyd never told anyone about the lighthouse.
A lot of people are wondering why everyone in the town does not have a meeting. If we’re in a town where monsters come at night, animals appear out of no where, no being able to leave the town but I tell someone about the far away tree and they say I’m crazy I wouldn’t look forward to a town meeting at all
The symbol also has 7 open spaces in it
I really love this show. Perfect amount of episodes per season. So good.
Hooked on this show, cant wait for next season. Any other fans of shows like this please give me all your recommendations - looking for something else to binge.
Eloise is the old woman with uncurable disease? She made it to thr light house and crossed. Then eventually made it back again. Which is why she was excited?
But what about Tabaith reflection in the window?!! That clearly wasn't her. What's the theory behind that? 🤔
Hey I seen that it look like another woman like the show quantum leep
You guys, they literally GIVE AWAY ANSWERS THE WHOLE TIME... When you think about it, None of this stuff that is happening is possible. I don't think it's magic. I think it's a nightmare that reflects every characters personal hell, their fears and hopes. There seems to be a lot of foreshadowing.
Characters like Abby, Jim, Father Katri, Randall, Fatima, Donna, Sara, Victor and Ethan all give us hints throughout both seasons.
My theory is that they are all in a dreamlike state. Boyd's wife said that she was shooting everyone to wake them up from the bad dream. Martin who was chained up, said "what if Abby was right, and this is all a bad dream". Fatima loves the view from their bedroom because she said it makes "even a nightmare look like a dream. Donna said this place easnt so bad because "IN HERE" the monsters have the decency to show you what they are. And Victor doesnt remember things, (that he had a sister for example) he says he doesnt know if it's real or it's a dream. People always forget dreams but they certainly don't forget huge events that happened 30 years ago in their childhood.
Then in the last episode of season 2, Tabitha finally wakes up from a coma!!! Being in a coma is essentially like being asleep.
How did she escape the town? She fell, she was pushed by the boy in white. When you fall in a dream, you wake up in real life before hitting the ground. Which indicates that when people in the town die, they wake up in the "real world" maybe that's what happens when you're stuck in a coma, you fight the "nightmare" til you eventually wake up from the coma.
Same as when you're having a nightmare. You also think that your dreams are real, until you wake up. Which explains why they all think it's real. I think everyone in that town got into some kind of car accident, since they were all driving until they reached the tree.
There's also some forshaddowing with this! When they were writing questions on the wall, Tabithawrore down "Did we survive from the RV?" Or something, not to mention they had a head on collision with Jade and his friend who were both high on drugs (two accidents simultaneously, in different places that lead both cars to that town)...
That would also explain why they all come from different parts of the country but somehow end up in the same town.
They are in a dreamlike state, stuck between life and death. Their souls are stuck in purgatory (the town) the souls are just waiting to either move on to the afterlife or make it back to the real world.
Sometimes people are in between. Tabitha fought for her life end got out of the nightmarish coma. Wheras someone like Father Katri lost the fight becuase the monsters killed him. He prayed before he died, I think his soul moved on to heaven. He said "this is not how my journey was supposed to end" indicating that he wasn't ready to die in real life, but he lost his fight unfortunately.
Jim was on to something with his theory of this being a kind of experiment. (Perhaps there's scientists running a simulation on people who are in comas. Anither clue was the bartender talking about the cat in the box. Alive and dead at the same time. The town is simply a spiritual realm, that's why eveything that happens is unrealistic.
Basically inception. It’s like a dream within a dream 😅
wow you really disected this season, thank you for such a well put video. i also wanna note that they changed the drawing of the kids and lighthouse originally yellow and brown then yellow and blue.
16:09 That's an interesting proposition. Victor found his mother's body next to the bottle tree, he said she didn't make it in.
But we know the little girl, Eloise, ran after the mom as soon as she left the hiding place. So perhaps the reason the mom died so close to the tree is bc she stopped to fend off the monsters while her *daughter,* Eloise, got into the trunk (and was teleported to the lighthouse). After all, Victor didn't mention anything about finding his sister's body...
If that happened, I assume she would've went inside for shelter & naturally climbed to the top. There, perhaps the boy in white also pushed her over the edge & thus she was set free, with no way to return. (she might've also been placed in a mental hospital in the outside world, bc her memories would've sounded insane)
I guess Tilly could be The Mastermind behind a big devil ceremony. She wanted to live longer so she come to harvest the lives of each 80 years. All these people in the town are in some kind of evil purgatory. Their soul was trapped in this area. This Forest and the ceremony method has existed since Viking to harvest the soul to fight the evil/ god. The tower or the center of the zone. The center of zone normally have the weakest energy. So the wife can escape the zone of looping and back to the real world. As for Tilly, normally, people would not dance in the rain, because they believe they will be back in the bus. When she got off the bus, she was celebrating, and she had no intention to get back on the bus.
Look at the sign on the computer screen that says St Anthony hospital which you pointed out. It looks very similar to the sign which is took jade on a 'quest' into the caves
15:11 No, it's different.
Similar. Not identical. Similar
@@lewis7557 It's not similar. It has 4 lines in a wavy cross pattern, perfectly symetrical, and no circle. It's totally different.
Look closely
I was honestly surprised to hear this was made only a few hours away from where I live
broooo call me crazy but i think you missed a big hint. When Tabatha awakes at the hospital, the camera pans to the computer screen at the hospital where you pointed out the hospital's name.However, I think the director was actually hinting at the logo of the hospital which looks like the same logo that we've all been seeing across the whole show, indicating that the children and the light house are all connected to the hospital!
I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE FIRST EPISODE THAT CAUSED HER TO GO INTO THAT TOWER. WHEN SHE SAW THE MONSTER, IT SEEMED TO APPEAR AS SOMEONE SHE MAY KNEW. SHE MAY HAVE CAUSED A DEATH OR COVERED UP A CRIME. I HOPE THEY ANSWER THAT
Not sure how to connect this in, but if we're looking at "hope" as a symbol for something, MULTIPLE times in the series so far the townspeople have called Boyd their "hope"
The problem here is that everyone in the show feels like they are the one that needs to do the saving and also no one want to share their findings,what they see in the visions and also findings… Like what the F…
I have to admit that this is the best Sci fi series that's kept me on the edge of my seat since. Season 3, let's go. Cause I need some serious answers 🙄.
dude i think when the boy pushed her from the lighthouse she just got
teleported out of the town and thats what happened to victor's mother
i think that the fall was the only way out and not a way to wake up
Who threw Boyd the rope at the beginning if the only person up the chimney, in the dungeon was chained up
IK the hospital did not know Tabitha's identity. I remember seeing a shot of her with the bracelet on and it said Jane Doe on it.
i got so annoyed that they didnt function like a team and try to figure it out together. but noo lets just split in groups and investigate our own visions and clues. And yes i belive jade was right from the start it is a escape room and i think lighthouse is what would lead out. cant wait for seasson 3
I need season 3 now!
My theory is this: the Lighthouse is clearly the main symbol and the key of that place. Google says the lighthouses represent strength, safety, and sometimes death. In addition, they symbolize danger, isolation, or the end of a journey. So reaching its peak could be the way out of a coma or the way out of that dimension ( hell ? ). They are often talking about light in the dark and hope. Hope for what? Hope from getting back to life from the dead, of course. But just few subconscious have really the strenght to reach the light in the dark, to unravel symbols to find the way out, the others there are just lost souls or npc. Anyway, if this doesn't make too much sense, i know for sure that this show looks a lot like some movies like: Source Code, Dark City or The Maze Runner.
Can we all take recognition that the actor who plays Victor has done such an excellent job? He was a child when he got there, but with the environment and lack of adult guidance he was never able to mentally grow up and has remained (in a way) pure?
My fav character ❤
Fully agree, he plays really well his character!
I also think he's on the spectrum, no? Anyway, he is one of my favorite characters, so good!
I think he’s behind it all
Victor's also a sensitive if you ask me. Some folks are born able to tune in on stuff the rest of us don't and he's one of several there now.
This town needs to have a nightly/weekly meeting where they all share ALL new information with each other. The lack of communication is KILLING us all 😂
And them...
I have the same frustration, but that would be too easy, I can see it happening closer to the climax of the series, whatever season that may happen
They don’t trust each other remember
Human's aren't, instinctively, great communicators. We all have our unique way of doing things. Trust issues, confidence issues, paranoia, doubt, stubbornness. The show expresses each of these traits really well among the characters. Some are more content, some are less patient, some are deeply confused, others embrace the weirdness. Some are more selfish. It's completely understandable that they haven't all simply sat down and had a meeting.
😂 Sounds like a good way to end a TV show in less than 8 episodes
My predictions for the plot:
-> Tabitha will team up with Eloise and find a way back
-> Tabitha is gonna show the rest the exit route
-> Most ppl will leave using the exit route
-> A few brave will stay and fight the evil entity to ultimately destroy the place (probably Boyd and Kenny amongst a few others)
-> A lot will lose their lives in this ultimate finale (some during escaping, some at the boss fight)
I also think we probably gonna see some flashbacks to the very early days of fromville
Donna sure as shit will stay to fight…and I figure she’ll die to save everyone else. Tough characters like hers always do.
In Friday the 13th (Game), when You die and Your friends uses the telephone, You respawn as another friend with a shotgun to kill Jason Vorgesse.
My interpretion is that Tabitha will go crazy to find the enterance to the town again because the Fallen Tree is the reason of finding it into the town, and only if You see that fallen tree, You will actually find the town. But I believe She may appear in the final moments and the town will find an alternative out
I actually crave some flashbacks from the early days of Fromville or, hell, even just how the lives of residents were. People might have mixed opinions on flashbacks in Lost, but I think From would benefited from having some on their own. Not to mention that watching flashback is just plainly more interesting than having an expository monologue dump
@@MayTheOddsBeInYourFavori see her dying tryna save the house
honestly that would be a great ending also dragging this a long is just gonna hurt the show so they should end it while they can i saw somewhere that they had five seasons planned.
I think Tabitha is not the first. Victor's sister might have also made it out of the town. Victor's LUNCHBOX will be the way for Tabitha to reach Eloise. I will go out on a limb here to suggest that season 3 will alternate between two universes - Tabitha & Eloise on a quest to find a way back into the town vs Boyd and the gang figuring out at least some of the mysteries of the town. CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 3. HOPE FOR MORE EPISODES AND LONGER SEASON🤞
Definitely not. I think they'd be more than capable of wrapping all of it up in season 3 if that was their intentions. That's a lot of time to do a lot of stuff.
Or they find some other way to communicate with them. Going back is just insane. This aint squid games 😂
They could wrap it all up in one last Season but I think they are going to milk it and the shows current pace is pretty slow... I think they will go 5-7 seasons because of how big the show has gotten
Tabitha could be Victor's long lost sister
@damlordTwendam unless there is something involved messing with time that wouldn't be possible, Eloise was Victor's older sister. If anyone on the town is Eloise I'd have to say itd be Tilly.
I think the reasoning in the show for Victor giving Tabatha the lunchbox is so that Victors Sister will recognise it in the 'Real World'. Tabatha will probably search for her.
Didn't Victor's sister died as well because she chase after their mother?
@@red7703 Victor said he found his mothers body by bottle tree so she never made it through. No mention of the Sister body.
@@red7703 no she didn't die victor only found his mother's body he never found the sister. i bet my money on the theory that victor's sister is in same hospital working as staff or maybe patient in some mental condition.
I think it’s a possibility she will be in the same hospital as Tabitha. Either she works there or could possibly be a patient in the psychiatric ward. If she told people about what she went through they would definitely think she was delusional.
I think so too shessh
I love this show.
My one major gripe is that nobody shares the information they have learned with the other people, lol.
Everyone has a piece of a puzzle, and just keeps it to themselves and head out on adventures alone
true😐
Yep that's annoying me..
I mean I get why Dey don’t because NO TRUST nobody really knows anyone so Dey don’t know who can behind what or who but he’ll dey aint got no choice but to trust one another
Sameeee
@@umnasaif8875 did it debut today ? Is it today ?
I am surprised I haven't seen anyone else make the connection that the children repeatedly are showing us what they want them to do. They are knocking down that toy tower over and over again. And in the cave painting it shows the tower painted red (in this case we think that signifies evil). It seems clear to me that this is how they all go home. They have to destroy the lighthouse. In fact you could even make the case that the lighthouse is very much like the torch Boyd uses. It brings real people into this place that exists between life and the spirit world and keeps them trapped here until the light goes out.
Now you say this I can’t believe I didn’t see this to!!
the lighthouse is powered by a torch just like Boyds actually so that's a pretty good theory.
Damn thats a good theory 😱
That's a good theory but why is it only Tabitha can only see the lighthouse? Boyd, Donna, Kenny have all ventured into the forest but have never spotted the lighthouse.
@@naturistfredBoyd and Sara both saw the lighthouse when they were in the forest.
Jade is speaking for us, the audience , and quite possibly for the writers in the opening scene on the porch.
👏
*about the writers
I find it really fucking insulting actually that the writers put that in
@@The_InfantMalePollockFrancis Yes! And they're admitting they don't have a clue yet where the story is going. Just keep signing those contracts...
@@candizippie What's worse is that the more easily impressed fans lap it up and subsequently enable them to essentially waste an amazing concept and premise. I watched a few other mystery series this week and the writing and acting, for one, beats From, but they're still not as lucky to have such a maleable and intriguing concept which the writers just WASTE. Why are people saying we finally got answers this episode??? WE DIDN'T, the writers just dug the hole deeper and honestly I don't think they know where they are going with all of this. Too many loose ends, too many plotholes, too many Deus Ex Machina and saving face by alluding to a Lovecraftian mystery. Newsflash!!!! You writers aren't Lovecraft!!! So don't try it!!! It's such a cop out! Lazy writers!
I think the lighthouse may be the only way of escaping, and every time someone escapes from the lighthouse a bottle is added to the bottle tree with the date they escaped .
This would explain why the bottle Boyd opened was showing one of the dates carved in the lighthouse, and why a bottle fell down the stairs as Tabitha was going up the lighthouse.
Nice theory on that
maybeeeee
They give one new piece of information for every 10 new mysteries
Yup xD
This was an issue I more or less had with season 2. Each individual episode by themselves is great imo, but in terms of building a narrative, it definently needs to start solving more mysteries than leaving more mysteries. With Season 3's announcement, I hope it will be the start of the writer's solving more than leaving more mysteries.
No matter what, I honestly think Victor will be the key to end all of this. Not because he has been their the longest or because he has helped Tabitha and Jade with major plot points in the series. But, because he seems to be the only one not affected by the place. He's also the only one that doesn't want to leave, or if anything, isn't in a rush to do so. "This is my home." I love Victor but for someone who has been in that place for 30+ years he has to know more than he's letting on, even if he doesn't remember. Hell, its only been at most a couple months since Season 1 has started and Tabitha is already back in the real world. Can you imagine what they could do with 30 years?
Victor is just too scarred, he's still a little boy. And I'm certain when he escapes, he will wake up as a little boy again. The dimension they're in doesn't give a crap about time, seeing as how Tabitha was supposedly in only a 3 day coma.
@@robyou8511 3 day coma, but we dont know how long she was in the woods before being found.
Maybe the real villain or creator of that place is just the most unsuspected
@@codlinks78how she survived food and water during that time?
@@robyou8511you are totally wrong about the time thing, because when kristi met marielle, marielle told her she has been searching her for 6 months, and also she became drug addict because of her, it means time is same in both worlds
Jade took the bike from the girl who got glass in her eye. He was like, oh this is for me and took it from her and has been riding every since
🚴 😂
Straight up he just never gave it back😂
I thought I was the only one who noticed this, like why isn't that girl trying to get it back? 😂
@itskhensi5150 cos Jade is a snack, rawwr 😂😂
I don't think the bike is hers...they all share stuff there in the colony house..ig she doesn't own the bicycle
Seems like Boyd's wife shooting people and Tabitha being pushed out of the light house have something to do with escaping the town. Perhaps when people are killed by the demons it feeds the entity with their suffering. However, if people die or are 'killed' by other means they end up back in the real world outside of the town.
That would be good news for Nathan and Sara
Nah. u die there.. u die forever
I dont think so, because tabitha makes it out without dying
@@rskl8083we also never saw her actually hit the ground. I bet that the victims are in a coma, if they die in the town they die in real life, but if they go through the lighthouse, which may be a portal of sorts, they make it out alive.
That’s actually a good theory. It’s too bad that we haven’t gotten a season 3 yet
I really like the theory about Tilly, it has some good evidence that she might not be just some old lady.
She may be inside agent like the one from the ( spoiler ) :
squid game.
I kinda like her just being a silly old lady though
Yeah Tilly is the mother of all this chaos i believe 😢
Yeah I don't like her
Who's Tilly...did she come on the bus
The season finale tried to redeem this season but let’s be real… this is what should have happened:
*Season 2 Episode 1*
*Boyd: ”Yo guys so I’m back from the woods, saw a bottle tree, got bitten by a giant spider, and saw a massive lighthouse”*
*Victor: “Oh word? I know about the bottle tree and the lighthouse and my mom said going there can help everyone go home”*
*Everyone: “Alright bet let’s go there in the morning”*
Literally no other filler BS had to happen this season.
Lol U forgot when Boyd got back from the woods the was a bus load. Of people waiting and he had a new problem with worms under his skin.
Yeah that's my problem with the show too. The fact that nobody talks to each other feels so forced. The show needs everyone to keep secrets for some reason. Meanwhile, it feels like nothing happens in the rest of the episodes.
I get that but it's a show. They drag it out for content. It is frustrating that they don't share everything with each other but then the show would be over lol if you don't like it just don't watch it. it's that simple.
@@levinia333 I didn't say I didn't like it. I happen to think the world building and surreal aspects are great, I just think the interpersonal drama between the characters that fills up the run time isnt compelling enough, compared to say the early seasons of Lost where the characters were interesting. I'm allowed to watch and critique a show.
Unless u go back but from another dimension and another person’s body. Because the reflection of Tabitha on the hospital’s window was a different person.
Tabitha next season: "We have to go back, Kate!"
W Comment.
Exactly 😂
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!
Yep😂
Don't tell me what I can't do 😭😭
“I’m hoping next season provides us with some big revelations.” I’m thinking the forest is a metaphor for the writers. They feed on our hope and then destroy us.
😂😂😅😅
Aww! The sickest part of From is that we are actually the ones being tortured!
Lolol facts
hahahhahah
Yup they are gonna milk the shit outta it. Doubt we get any answers next season. Just more questions 😂
Also one thing I wondered about was the attempt to radio for help.
The moment they got "someone" on the line, everybody realized they had no idea what to tell the outside world.
"Help, we're stuck in this place with monsters and can't get out, also we can't tell you where it is, please help us", yeah what would that have accomplished? Even if they had somehow managed to convince a high ranking theoretical physicist from the government, what exactly would "help" have been looking for? And even if, hypothetically, they'd be able to send the entire military in there, they'd just be stuck as everyone else.
What I’d tell them is everyone’s names who are there to show that’s where the missing people ended up, as for how much help the outside world will be seems a little indeterminate until the next season comes out with Tabitha on the other side, however I still think this place exists somewhere in the outside world and escaping a maze is a lot easier when have someone outside yelling.
@@danilochavarria7348 Good points!
So… here’s what I’m thinking:
“Fromville” is, in essence, a Nightmare. The seven children were used in some sort of ritual to make a nightmare manifest, creating a physical reality out of it. There was a lot of talk about dreams in this finale, with I think is a huge hint.
That’s why things seemingly don’t make sense. Medieval castles, spooky woods, actual freaking monsters, even ghosts… all things a child might see in a nightmare. That’s why the story Jim tells his son is repeatedly referenced. A scary bedtime story might give a kid a nightmare, and in Fromville, nightmares are very real. Even the music box is an item you might place on a child’s bedside table to help them sleep, but this music box is broken, worn, damaged. Its purpose has been twisted.
Now, for clarification: That doesn’t mean the whole show *is* a dream. If there are any Lovecraft fans out there, Fromville would basically be somewhere in the Dreamlands. It’s a place that is accessed in dreams, but also by other means. A very real dimension of existence that plays host to the things and beings we see in our dreams or nightmares.
Nice theories. I'm thinking Fromville is more like The Mountains of Madness, with the entity being the Dreamer in the Witch House
Very good theory! Your definitely onto something with that. That was my thoughts too about it, and especially with the ending and what happened with Tabitha. You know when your having a dream and all of a sudden you starting falling in it and it jolts you awake..I think that's why the little boy pushed her out of the tower to jolt her awake out of the nightmare.
I personally think that the voice on the other end is Fromland itself directly speaking. The same entity that creates electricity from underground and the same one that emits a low freaquency static on the radio. Whats more is I think that the whole forrest is the entity in itself. This Oncooey being I think was created through the light house ritual where those 7 or so kids were sacraficed and exists as a network of roots beneath the land.
Im a bit confused how this could be a dream since time clearly passes by in both "Fromville" and the "real world." We know time in "Fromville" correlates with the "real world" when kristi met marielle, marielle told her she has been searching her for 6 months. There has to be a way the the body within the real world to be maintained, which makes this theory unlikely, only possible if theres a "mastermind" and actually running a simulation (kinda lame in my opinion). And this mastermind theory still leaves many questions like how time go by so seemlessly when traveling between worlds seen when they first encountered the fallen tree.
@christopherchu2275 the commenter said that it ISNT a dream, its like a dimension where dreams and nightmares are manifested, but its also real
The Bottle Tree traps evil spirits and Boyd took one down in season one.
Sarah said he shouldn't do that. I think that's when the evil spirit got out. The other bottles probably contain other horrors.
When Tabitha had her dream of inside the tower in season one, she kicked a bottle down the stairs.
Boyd tells Donna "if the three die, there's no putting the genie back in the bottle".
Too many bottles for coincidence.
Tabitha taking Victor's lunchbox with her to the "real world" is def no coincidence either/ I'm willing to bet that someone will recognize it and they'll work together to get back and save everyone.
That’s my problem with the tower leading you to the “real world” victor would have known cause the boy in white would have BEEN showed him. I don’t think it leads you out but to another level of whatever reality they in. The boy even apologized to pushing her out. Why would he apologize if he was pushing her home.
What if the monsters are there to stop the town people from leaving so they don’t break the bottles
And that’s why the boy in white sends them back to town!
@@kcakiidBecause hes showing her that the lighthouse is a lie. She escaped from being pushed out of the lighthouse right? She broke a window on that thing before she left meaning she damaged the building on her way out before reawaking in reality. It appears that if the townsfolk manage to destroy the lighthouse then they can escape. He pushed her out because she would have never guessed that the lighthouse was evil. Whats more comforting than seeing a lighthouse when your in the dark? The last thing youd expect is for it to be evil or worse. And the last thing youd ever want to do is try destroy that comforting light. Which is what makes it the perfect object to misdirect people to their own deaths. The perfect lie in other words.
Also if you didn’t notice, the bottle says 1864 , civil war times.
And when Tabitha has the vision of climbing the tower, she sees dates scratched onto the stairs, one says 1864, boyd opened that bottle up while jade earlier got chased by a civil war soldier who looked burnt or dead or something?? I couldn’t tell but burnt like Freddy krueger, maybe there is supposed to be 8 children, the one in the middle of teh circle is Victor but he survived as he stayed inside, one of the children is maybe his sister
I thought I was the only one who suspected Tilly. Tilly is too calm to be in such a fucked up place. She always knows things. She is like the Grandpa (001) in Squid Game.
who is tilly?
the old lady@@chillingal4770
@chillingal4770 the old lady who came fro the US crew and gave up her morphine
For me it's Victor. He is what's keep the game running. I don't believe he survived by just hiding. He's the mastermind I think. He's the one who knows everything and made it seem like he's also broken just like the others. Maybe part of his story is true like he lost his mother and his sister. Maybe he did and that's what make him create a simulation, a world where he can play. He looks suspicious to me. Eversince. No one gets to survive that long by just hiding especially when you're just a kid
@@jesaget6791it’s him or Donna for sure
They should make this a game franchise, with generative AI to make your decisions consequential and no game overs. You kill a character, another drives into the town for you to use.
I 💯 agree
That'd be so worth playing
I often think of it as an RPG concept so I 100% agree and would play such a game!
World of Horror. It’s on steam. It’s Japanese themed. Very hard choices, very difficult game but rewarding to save the town and kill the baddies
A From telltale game would be heat
Mystery series are fun but two seasons in, few things answered, I do worry if this time next year we'll be saying the same thing: "we're left with more questions than answers but hopefully next season..."
I feel like they're spreading things too thin, and therefore it's hard to really invest in certain characters. I find Fatima and Ellis completely disinteresting, for example, and the wedding fell well and truly flat. Someone like Jade, however, I can't wait to see more of what he does but we just don't get enough of people like him who are trying to figure thjngs out
I have a hard time remembering the names of the characters on this show because they are not fleshed out. I do enjoy Boyd, Donna, Randall, and Jade because all of them are go-getter characters. Or maybe they’re more experienced actors so they are more interesting on screen.
@ashley.taylor174 I think it's the first thing, they're go-getters. It's always confused me why they're not trying to learn as much as possible every single day. Most are just so apathetic
If you're gonna spread out the story like this at least do 2 seasons a year goddamit
season 2 definitely played out like they didn't expect they were getting renewed after season 1 lol
Agree, I found myself fast forwarding with Fatim and Ellis. There is a-lot of woffel that happens in season 2 and just wish they would get to the point and start finding some answers. I also think was a waste of screen time when they guy stole guns and shot Boyd. I will be so pissed off if season 3 is delayed or not made and wish they can start answering some questions. Season 3 will only come out in another year :(
From season 2.. the art of making 2 episodes worth of content into an entire season
yeah man I'm starting to get pretty frustrated lol. And not in a good suspenseful way.
@@Chris-ft2yx it’s not by the same people. just two producers. not any of the same show writers, which is why from has such shitty writing
@@Chris-ft2yxyou definitely didn’t do your research it’s not made by the same people as lost 😂
Then stop watching. You've had two seasons to decide. If your looking for quick answers. Just get off board now. Your not getting them until later. They start answering questions it will be over.
@@meoff7602 if they even make it past season 3 ;)
I feel like they gave just enough clues and answers to make season 3 worth the wait. I love this show and it's unique to anything else currently on air. Now finales over definitely going go back re watch them
I don't feel like we got any answers this season, only more questions
It’s clear the boy is still playing a game in the car with his sister. And the show is the real life version of the game he is making up. He knows so much, the drawings, the rules, what’s going to happen next, the quests
we got know answers at all more questions if you can point out one question that was answered be my guest
@@justinsanegaming9724 We didnt get awnsers but we got loads of info that helps narrow down whats happening. I think season 2 is very good at telling you whats happening, it just respects the intelligence of the audience too much to spoonfeed us all the awnsers.
@@gavinferguson2938 We got answers to an extent they answer certain things vaguely and that in my opinion is up to interpretation which is part charm of the show. However they definitely keep giving us hints on how things work just very shrouded which is fine by me
I’m late on this but I’m obsessed with this series. I’ve watched 1 and 2 and I’ve learned or heard something new each time. What I do think is Abbie is not trying to help. I think she is always trying to get Boyd to go with her and he doesn’t. But I believe she has either crossed over or the evil has co-opted her to taunt Boyd. Anywho I can’t wait till next season. 10 episodes is not enough. Oh oh take a look at they reflection in the window when Tabitha looks out. It’s not her reflection.
So, if Boyd saw Julie and the others chained in that place, while their bodies were elsewhere, does that mean that Martin is a living man, whose body was in another location (or time)?
I wondered that. Could it be that he's in the town or forest somewhere, forgotten about?
The chained room just like music box is literal and figurative. Martin was literally real and there because he transferred the worms to Boyd. However, the chained room is in another realm and Julie and the others screams or souls were chained there.
martin didnt have the weird grey eyes so maybe he escaped and ot trapped in the opposite place?
Martin died
That’s seems pretty wishy washy. Some people are physically there while others are only there in an ephemeral way. Plus I’m pretty sure Boyd touches Julie when he runs over to her. No one has seen what happens when Boyd goes to Martin. I think if someone was watching Boyd they might see him go into a trance in just stand there until he returns. One counter argument to what I just said is that the 3 new prisoners have the weird gray eyes but Martin and Boyd have normal eyes. So there does seem to be some sort of difference. Something just occurred to me. When it was revealed the three were dying it was said, once they die that it. But why say that? Isn’t that true for anyone? Once you die, you are dead. So why state that unless in this case, when you die,”that’s it” doesn’t mean just dead. Maybe “that’s it” means now you are fully and completely trapped in the dungeon and your body is there as well?
It was a bit irritating wastin preciously minutes on a stupid wedding.
But the wedding was what made Boyd realize about lighting the torch 🤷🏻♂️
Sarah said the town might be turning people's nightmares into realities, so assuming that's true Eloise is probably dead because she drew the Civil Soldiers that Jade was haunted by. Viktor mentions that his sister was scared of the stories her mother told her about the soldiers.
I don’t think they need to be dead in order for the town to haunt them with their nightmares
@@Boomer045 I think so, the same happend with Jayde!
@@nayjer2576 jade is not dead so your theory doesn't work
There is one thing that seems no one noticed, and makes my head hurt thinking about it... at the beginning of episode 1, season 2, who threw the rope for boyd to climb out of the pit? That old dude was chained to the wall and there was no one else around, so who did it??
I think it was just an affirmation that beings and objects in Fromville are not governed by the regular laws of physics, and things are often materialized or “conjured up” out of nowhere, thus further affirming that they are designed and controlled by an overseeing force.
That's why I think Martin is evil. I think he tricked Boyd so he could infect him and replace the others with his locust plague. I don't think Martin was an actual person, most likely an evil entity.
Boyd was never in a hole I don’t think, as when he goes back there is no hole
@@jcedits360 Well to be fair he never dug at the ground to see if the pit was real but covered up or not.
Same.... that's the same question that I had... like the old dude was chained up who threw the rope.
I just finished season1+ 2 after binge watching over 4 days & im so glad the next season is only 7 weeks away im so invested in this 😭
The hills (and vantage point) viewed from her hospital window were the exact same hills as viewed from the top of the lighthouse. It almost like the Director was trying to tell us that FROMville sits upon the same land taken from time and space.
but dude , she was found in a forest and transported to the hospital , it doesn't make sense for her to see the same view ; that being said its a good observation
@@RED01SEAI disagree. She was taken to the nearest hospital. She may have only been found a few miles away. It’s definitely possible.
A light house with no water, and a place with water but no lighthouse? Interesting 🤔
@@botmoderator3405 and keep in mind those boats in that mural in the cave. The only water in this place was that pond they were going to swim. I remember Elgin taking much interest in that pond.
@@botmoderator3405
One of the monster also have navy uniform
I have a theory about Tabby's ending. She went to the tower to rescue the children because that's where Victor's mom believed they were. But there were no children in the tower right? Then the boy in white says "this is the only way" and pushes her out the window. I'm thinking Victor's mom wasn't exactly wrong about where the children are. The children aren't IN the tower, but the tower is a portal to where the children are. And the boy in white meant "this is the only way" to save the children. I think they're in St. Anthony hospital, maybe being experimented on due to having been born with psychic powers or something like that. So Tabby has to find and rescue them there in the real world. I was also thinking in that scene where they appear around Jade in the cave, I've heard people theorize that the rocks they're lying on represent altars. But what if the rocks actually represent hospital beds? And the children are lying on them as they look up at Jade's symbol, which is strangely similar to the symbol of St. Anthony Hospital (shown on the computer monitor).
Omg I got goosebumps. I think you’re on to something. It’s too much of a coincidence how alike the symbols look.
I 100% that tabitha’s journey isn’t over but I don’t think she’s in the real world. Maybe another part of the reality they’re in. Maybe the people in the hospital are evil and try to make her think she’s back but she soon realizes that it’s just another reality and has to escape
First theory that makes so much sense and is really cool!
Stranger things vibes
This is a great theory. St. Anthony is the saint most Catholics pray to for lost things or finding one’s path. He is known to help people find what they are looking for. In Tabby’s case, the children or maybe Victor’s sister?
Ohhh! Victor's mom probably took the sister to the lighthouse and then went back to get Victor and was killed! I kinda wonder if Victor really knows how to leave the place and he's just not saying. He's constantly holding on to information
Maybe he thinks trying to escape killed his mom so he doesn't want to say anything. Plus we know he doesn't want to leave its the only home he has known.
@@beewest5704yep I agree. We have to remember he has a mind of a child. He has never truly grown up or developed well. He doesn't want to accidentally cause the deaths of others. His mother was found dead when she tried to leave or find answers. Of course Victor would be reluctant to talk so much about it.
It's actually quite frustrating to see everybody trying to threaten and harass him
Anyone else notice the patient room number? 2225 (2+2 2+5)= 47.
I might be reaching but I think it’s something considering how the number 47 is/was.
That’s definitely not Tabitha in the reflection of the window.
And the hospital logo looking eerily like the symbol?!?!
I think this is just a different level of the simulation or wherever they are.
her reflection is her, it's just the sunlight lighting up her hair.
she kinda looks like victors mom? 15:50 ? just saying although im sure im wrong
EXACTLY what I’ve been thinking. And the room number!! Holy shit.
The number 47 being everywhere, I think Tilly is somehow connected as she mentioned she had 4 children and 7 grandchildren.
If you subtract the two most recent years written on the lighthouse stairs, you get another 47 (1978-1931=47)
Good eye gum shoe!!!🙏🏽🤙🏽

I just revealed how old I am.😫
"They touch, they break, they steal, no one here is free"
Touch: Julie (touch everyone's lives)
Break: Randall (breaks rules)
Steal: Marielle (stole medicine)
maybe explains why they got chosen.
He literally says the same thing in this video.
Technically that applies to everyone there. They all steal what doesn't belong to them. All of their clothes and belongings belong to deceased people. They break things, likd Donna mashing up the house. Jim and Jade running around tearing up lamps and anything with wires in it. And they all touch each other's lives. We've seen ellis, fatima, boyd, donna, jim, Tabitha. Literally everyone do all of those things.
I truly believe that Julie touched & took the flower in season 1 from the front of house colony & placed it in her room. Next episode you see a female creature with the same flower Julie took outside the window that got in the house, due to Kevin falling in love with her.
If the only way out is the lighthouse, then that’s messed up because there’s no way for you to go back and share this information with the others once you’re out.
Victor mentions that his mother never made it to the bottle tree, but we’re never told anything about Eloise, which suggests that she made it out.
OMG IT MAKES ME MAD HOW VICTOR DOESN'T WANNA SAY ANYTHING
@@judas7585 I can’t STAND him!! He makes my blood boil when he withholds information.
@@Skinniest_KweenHe was a child when a whole town was murdered, including both his mother and, to his knowledge, his sister. He obviously has multiple forms of trauma and PTSD which explains his behavior. Also we know that he trauma blocked out memories, which means he wasn’t withholding information intentionally, and if he was it was to keep others safe, because that’s why he was drawing.
@@xxcheesexx6960 oh, I know all this, and I get it. I just don’t care. He needs to pull his socks up and realise its game time. Lot of people saw a lot of messed up shit in this place.
^ Exactly. It’s no fucking excuse at this point in the show. Victor needs to man up and share the info he has. He sees Fromville as his home, so he is purposely not trying to escape and clearly doesn’t want to help the others escape either. So many stupid fuckass characters in this show that I’ve literally started to skip over each time they pop up in a scene. Marielle, Elgin, Victor, Ellis have become permanent skips for me. I just don’t care about the side stories anymore. It was kinda endearing during season 1, but now I’m only interesting in Jade, Jim, Boyd & Tabitha. Sara is tolerable. Kenny is a crybaby bitch & Kristi & Marielle are completely useless. They only added that story arc between them just to show off an LGBT couple. Makes me roll my eyes so hard.
Okay I have a wild theory.
The “Angkhooey” the children keep chanting “looks” quite similar to St. “Anthony” , the hospital Tabitha woke up in.
I think the scene of Jade surrounded by the 7 children looking up to see that symbol might mirror the reality of the children strapped up in a lab of some sort and looking up at the hospital logo.
They are constantly drugged up (I think they power the entire experiment or whatever) and the “Angkhooey” they chant is the blurry recognition they have of where they are.
The kids also being in white definitely gives lab/hospital vibes.
Just realized it actually “sounds” similar too lol.
They saying “Aunt kooey” victors mom
I thought similar with the logo on the monitor next to the hospital bed when Tabitha woke up. I found it odd they would show this, when shortly after the nurse says the hospital name
Nah defo not your far off buddy😅
I think the angkhoeey is Anthony but how they pronounce it. I could definitely see this with no questions asked being Anthony as in ST. Anthonys. I can see it being an experiment and when they die in the other world/town they die in real life but like Tabitha did she went to the lighthouse our guiding light and was pushed out but instead of it being an evil place it was the only way to escape the town. I definitely can see this being the case in the show.
I can’t wait for season 3. I need it now !!!
Life Lessions from FROM :
1. Just remember... Next time if you see a broken tree on the road, just push/pull it with your vehicle to make a little bit of space and go straight, no TURNING BACK, okay.
2. Just remember... Next time whoever knocks your door or window at night, DO NOT OPEN.
3. Just remember... If you are in a really bad situation that you can't hope for an EXIT, learn to LIVE with it, DO NOT FINGER your DESTINY.
4. Just remember... Just because you've been living with Netflix and Prime, do not UNDERESTIMATE the legend...MGM+ that brought you Tom & Jerry since your father was born.
XD
I think tabithas stroyline season 3 being trying to go back is going to answer a few questions. Namely what conditions are needed when people get trapped and where they are. So this gives me hope that we will get all our questions answered at the end of the show
It’s cute you think the writers have the answers too our questions.
@@themiskatonicsociety2087 😂 you think they are making it up as they go? I'm wondering the direction this show will take, if they can get on a freaking path that makes sense...but that's wishful thinking.
yeah i feel so too and i definitly feel tabitha entering fromville is the season finale of S3. the writers are definitely streching this series😅
@@greenytaddict I think it’s about half and half. Half a plan and half winging it
@@themiskatonicsociety2087 you do realise for the production companies to greenlight stuff like this they'd need an overall outline of the shows direction. They aint gonna spend millions on a "50% wing it project". Its more likely that the reason our questions arent being answered is because they want to make more seasons and money.
Just a thought, if the entity relies on hope then that scene with Tilly doing the pray with the 7 was the smoking gun that she's not to be trusted. She's basically providing hope to that group. Tilly is the entity.. Final answer
Maybe "Abby" lied. I mean maybe "told" the truth too: "hope makes them suffer more".
So it ain't about hope in the first place ;)
@@fourfistsforfunk "Abby" most definitely lied. All those ghosts and voices so far have lied and only caused more trouble and death.
@@fourfistsforfunk or maybe that really is Abby telepathically communicating through a dream.. I think if you die in from by the town you stay dead, however if you die by someone good you live.
@@Trav83that isn’t really Abby. It’s the entity.
@@devioncampbell7330 that's to be determined
I don't think the writers know where they want to go with the plot. There are easily 50 different questions that can't be explained away unless it's "dream" or "simulation" stuff to just blur the lines. There's no good answer that's going to make the last 2 seasons satisfying bc the pacing is bad and they would rather create new issues instead of solving ANY OF THE OLD ONES!! It drags.
Ps Victor is a plot device. You mean to tell me you knew this went to the lighthouse the whole time ? GTFOH
Yeah him and Sarah oh and here's some dead ppl to coach u along
exactly what you said bro, they have provided so many loose ends that either they're going to need to spend an entire season explaining them (which wouldn't be surprising because of how slow the pace has been) or they're going to have some really shitty writing that quickly explains all these random mysteries.
Another option is they just leave a shit ton of plot holes which is annoying because all of us are here analyzing every single detail.
I started off being absolutely captivated by this series, but tbh I'm starting to think we are going to end up extremely disappointed.
@@daftfreak13 right. Same thing I'm thinking. It's hard to see an ending that makes sense and doesn't sound like some lame cover all bs story. They had a good start. Then went 20 directions and now it's witchcraft, magic, aliens, demons, time warp, spiders, sleep monsters, cicadas, worms, ghosts, time loops, etc etc etc. like a collection of stories instead of a coherent cohesive idea. I already know I'll be mad when they finish if they finish
@@danski1961 they really gave up on trying to connect dots awhile ago. Now it's how can we make them watch for the next ep
Its a horror/thriller, it doesnt need to explain everything. Just because its not explained doesnt mean it didnt have some form of law or order it follows.
7:25 Could the place be cursed by the natives? When the explorers came it was a trap for them? There was the civil war soldier too
The monsters remind me of skin walkers too
Think Story, cool video keep up the amazing work
I think Martin scammed Boyd into bringing that entity back to town. I feel like he was a bad guy in the situation or was being used to manipulate him
I think he was evil. How could he be giving the rope down to Boyd and chained up? It is another trick for the entity to get his way.
He just wanted to die
He was definetly sus, he knew he scratched Boyd up and it did not look like an accident imo.
@@ammarkhan6883 He wanted his suffering to end and didn't care if he made others suffer its not that hard to figure out
@@anthonyhaney626 yea true
From is where several dimensions intersect. Jade changes dimensions when she sees the symbols. Sara can hear other dimensions. Boyd brought parasites from one dimension to another. Tabitha is trapped in another. Radio and lights can help communicate between parallel realities
Let me guess, the boy´s name is Jacob... and he has a brother who dresses in black.
100% Tabatha is finding her way back after finding Victor's sister in season 3.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!
LOST all over again!
Boy, I can just feel the pending disappointment from the series finale. This whole season was basically a filler and they are pilling mysteries upon mysteries upon mysteries. Even if this show has 20 seasons, if they keep the current format - 90% of the introduced plot points will get no resolution.
Isn't "filler" just part of every show? It's nice to get answers but the show is so much more than just solving the mystery. It's also the interactions between characters, character development, the building of the From "universe."
This show is Pure Confusion 😂
They touch, they break, they steal is not talking about the people in the town, it is describing those in control there. They touched, they broke{dead lady in ep 9), they steal(yo life). All the RUclips theories and reddit all have it wrong imo. They touch them in their sleep. they break their body, then they steal their life. Loved the detail in your videos, just wanted to share my opinion.
Great point . Sarah said ‘it’ was excited when it touched Kenny
It “touched” Kenny
It “broke” that lady who died in bed
It “stole” those 3 people
No one appreciated Elgin for being a brave stranger for getting Ellis to the town when he got stabbed that just got under my skin
Right they didn’t thank him at all
What can be touched broken or stolen ? A heart ✊ Julie touched Elgins heart with her warmth Marielle stole Kristys heart with love and getting clean Randall broke Jim's heart when he took his idea to find answers and corrupted it
I agree with Julie's, but I'll say Marielle stole medicine and Randall broke so many rules :P
@@nicola646 both of those things are true about the characters but my point was in reference to the rhyme correlation to the heart.
Hope, it's why the monsters walk instead of run, to give hope and prolong the suffering.
