  • I also have some frustrations regarding “From”, a lot of episodes are drama filler, and that filler is definitely badly written. I admit there are scenes that I simply skipped when I could tell that nothing important would come out of them lmao. The idea behind the story is super interesting though, and that keeps me coming back. I’m really curious what this place is.

    I think some moments are really well executed, the mystery in the first episodes, and when they built the radio tower and Jim heard that voice… First hope and later absolute terror! That’s some writing! But yeah, a lot of it is ruined by pointless filler :/.

    I love the intro, both visuals and the song. So climactic! And I come back for my favorite characters: Jade, Tabitha, Victor, Boyd. The rest is meh and some are downright terrible lmao.

    The finale of this season gave me some hope for the next one, but the episodes in the middle were disappointing, I agree. We’ll see!




  • Wow, what an episode! I think it was the best one so far. People actually exchanging information and working toward solving something, plot moving forward… that was great!

    I loved Jade and Tabitha as usual. I wonder what “anghkooey” means and why the children in Jade’s “vision” were laying like this, looking at that opening… I mean it explains the symbol, but what was actually happening there?

    Boyd finally got himself together and he was powerful this episode. I don’t think we can trust “Abby”, she’s probably not Abby at all. She’s been actively trying to hinder his progress from the beginning, I think.

    Even Sara managed to prove useful… Randall spent the episode unconscious, that’s a big plus for me lmao. Fuck Reggie though, his acting isn’t even funny anymore. And Jim… he’s useless and seems to be offended that everyone’s smarter than him. I am afraid he will blame Victor for Tabitha’s absence :(

    Tabitha and Victor are so precious ❤. I love them.

    The ending shocked me actually, I don’t know what to think. Is it safe to believe that Tabitha actually got out? If the lighthouse is the way out, does it mean that it holds this entire place together? Maybe it should be destroyed like the music box?
    Next season can’t arrive soon enough :( This last episode has shown that the writers seem to have some actual outline of the plot, not just making it up as they go. I am so curious what happens next.


  • 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.




  • I had that with Dark. Still no other mystery show comes even close to it, if I feel like watching something similar, my only choice is to rewatch it.
    And now the same thing with Severance (season 1 was so good but now it feels like forever waiting for the next one 😩).

    The worst was 1899 though. The mystery drew me in, I didn’t want the season to end… Then Netflix cancelled the show, just like that. No more seasons beyond the first one. Fuck Netflix, I cancelled my subscription after that.


  • The simple fact is that most people these days use social media (almost) exclusively through apps their phones. Yes, you can install it as a PWA through your browser, but that’s a possibility most non-techy people aren’t even aware of, nor is it really explained anywhere. Not having apps in official app stores is a major hurdle to adoption.

    So we are at the stage where people are unable to operate a simple mobile website, and everything has to be turned into its own special app?

    I don’t know, for me kbin doesn’t have to get as big as reddit to be a cool place to hang out. Not sure if I’m interested in an influx of people who only post selfies and shitty tiktok videos and don’t bother reading the community rules because they’re on mobile and seeing the sidebar requires tapping on a button but they don’t know how to do that or something.

    Maybe I’m just bitter from reading all the comments on reddit and seeing how people don’t even bother understanding what happened with the API etc. and just keep screaming “give content now”.




  • r/UnresolvedMysteries. I really liked this subreddit. Now I took a look at the thread about API changes which is stickied there and it just seems a lot of people are asking “can someone explain to me what’s going on/who cares about 3rd party apps” (and my favorite one - “it’s all power-hungry mods’ fault”), so it doesn’t seem like the community will migrate from reddit.

    I miss reading all the write-ups, not only about true crime but also other mysteries.

    I’ll also add: LiminalSpace and ididnthaveeggs (for all the insane recipe reviews lol).
