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.
I feel like the food supply issue has kind of disappeared. I was expecting them to say make lots of coffee, I mean how much of that kind of stuff can they have left? With the change of seasons, I thought they really were going to run out. And the chicken, goats and such could have been some of the drama. But it seems they favored the whole alien autopsy plot.
Okay is it just me or was the acting from that Reggie guy bad? It was so bad that it became funny lol. Even the way he rung the bell cracked me up.
I really thought the “they come for three,” would be Elgin, Kenny, and Marielle. Somehow it ended up being Marielle, Randall, and Julie. But is no one safe since the lady who lived with Reggie died from napping?
SO GLAD DONNA MADE IT OUT ALIVE. Loved how Boyd took back control of the situation and told Randall to stfu. Thought it was interesting that they were willing to hand over the gun to Randall after all that though. Seems like the bile bullets didn’t work.
Can definitely understand why the main characters aren’t willing to share information with everyone else lmao. When all those side characters kept asking Fatima how long they had to stay awake for as if she didn’t just learn that they needed to stay awake couple seconds ago.
Excited for the final episode but also dreading it because I know they’re gonna end on a huuuuuge cliffhanger.
