Episode Description: Panic spreads through town as the residents face a chilling new threat to their survival; Jim realizes the magnitude of the mistake he made by enlisting Randall in his cause.
I wish the episodes were longer. Once you skip the initial annoying “Previously on From”, the episode feels very short.
Reggie gave us “The Room” level of acting. At least it was entertaining lmao. Tbh he was easier for me to watch than the saga of Marielle’s withdrawal, it has way too much screen time and it doesn’t move the plot forward (except for that new development in this episode, I guess). Not to mention that since Marielle has arrived, Kristi became basically useless and erratic. It’s infuriating how she kept leaving Marielle alone. And I hate the haircut lol.
No words to describe how much I hate Randall; I was truly hoping for his demise this episode. I really like how Boyd handled him, not sure about giving him gun though. Of course, not sure what will actually happen with him after all this. Donna survived though, that’s all I need. Jim is such an ass, Tabitha and Jade are doing best without him lmao. It’s just that he should not be left alone because he has too many stupid ideas. Also, Ethan sucks :/
When the music was playing in the RV, number 47 was shown on the screen of the radio. I wonder if it has any significance.
Sara and Kenny 😐. I’m sorry but I’m just fast forwarding their scenes. These monologues are really badly acted I feel. And it’s constantly the same thing, over and over.
I don’t know what to think. I love mystery, and I know it’s a mystery box show, but we have very little answers and more and more new mysteries/questions. The last episode will end on an absolutely gigantic cliffhanger, that’s for sure. I just hope that the writers genuinely know where they intend to go with this. And that the show doesn’t get cancelled. Otherwise, it feels like not a single thing will be solved.
