00:00:00
perhaps the biggest complaint I hear
00:00:02
when it comes to the television show
00:00:03
from is the lack of answers I'll admit
00:00:06
it that when I first started watching
00:00:07
the show I feared they were making the
00:00:09
same mistake that lost did they kept
00:00:11
putting in random mysterious stuff with
00:00:14
no intention of giving us answers but
00:00:16
season 3 gave me hope I started to see
00:00:19
how stuff set up all the way in season 1
00:00:21
were being answered in season 3 The
00:00:23
Bottle Tree is a great example now that
00:00:25
got me thinking what about all the other
00:00:28
stuff that hasn't been answered you
00:00:30
could honestly do an individual video
00:00:32
about each of these questions and I've
00:00:34
also just come up with a man in yellow
00:00:36
video that you'll want to check out so
00:00:37
this video is more of a reminder than a
00:00:40
deep dive into each one if there happens
00:00:42
to be a topic you guys really really
00:00:44
want me to do an in-depth video on
00:00:46
please let me know in the comments and
00:00:47
if I have time I'll give it a look
00:00:49
remember back in season 1 this guy
00:00:51
smashed by a boulder in the root Celler
00:00:53
we haven't seen them since we know that
00:00:55
this root seller is the end location for
00:00:58
a certain far away tree during the night
00:01:00
of the Colony House Massacre Julie goes
00:01:03
through it and arrives here since this
00:01:05
is a vision of Jades it doesn't
00:01:07
necessarily mean the poor man was
00:01:09
crushed by a boulder that followed him
00:01:11
through a farway tree however Henry
00:01:13
remarks that larger things in this world
00:01:15
have gone missing such as the motel
00:01:18
there's a sign but no building it begs
00:01:20
the question if farway trees are just
00:01:22
the beginning when it comes to traveling
00:01:24
throughout this world could entire
00:01:26
buildings get sucked into the ground and
00:01:29
end up somewhere else completely
00:01:30
speaking of these trees we really don't
00:01:33
know how they operate when Tabitha went
00:01:35
through one at the end of season 2 she
00:01:37
arrived near the lighthouse but when
00:01:39
Dale did it in season 3 he ended up in
00:01:41
the side of a pool it would appear they
00:01:43
could change where you end up and this
00:01:45
could have something to do with how
00:01:46
Victor says the trees move the
00:01:48
lighthouse is also another unexplained
00:01:51
mystery it's in the middle of a forest
00:01:53
with seemingly no water around it
00:01:56
leading me to believe instead of guiding
00:01:58
ships to land it's guiding soul to
00:02:00
Salvation inside this Lighthouse are
00:02:02
numbers etched in the wall and if you've
00:02:04
seen my season ending video you'll know
00:02:06
I think these are dates in which
00:02:08
different versions of the story started
00:02:10
and stopped but just how the boy in
00:02:12
white pushing Tabitha out of the tower
00:02:15
resulted in her waking up in Camden
00:02:16
Maine coincidentally the same town
00:02:19
Victor's dad is from remains unclear in
00:02:21
season 1 we're introduced to these large
00:02:24
rocks very much out of place in this
00:02:26
flat field similar rocks this time with
00:02:28
red pigment are seen near the old
00:02:31
settlement I'm curious if they have
00:02:33
anything to do with the rock slabs the
00:02:35
anui children were sacrificed on these
00:02:38
red rocks are also where we see young
00:02:39
Tabitha or at least the version of her
00:02:41
she had in a dream as a child with her
00:02:44
old clothing here we can deduce this
00:02:46
wasn't a dream rather a real memory of
00:02:49
the spirit that now inhabits her this
00:02:51
old settlement is filled with tons of
00:02:53
mystery if this town is simply a story
00:02:55
told over and over again it's possible
00:02:58
this settlement was the town sever
00:03:00
Cycles ago we still don't know just what
00:03:02
exactly these totems on the outskirts
00:03:04
are supposed to do but usually things
00:03:06
like this are used to ward off something
00:03:08
evil and why is Randall who to our
00:03:10
knowledge has never visited the old
00:03:12
settlement carving replicas of them
00:03:14
Randall for sure is someone reincarnated
00:03:16
and that will be a part of the fun of
00:03:18
season 4 trying to guess which towns
00:03:20
people come from past versions of the
00:03:22
story then there's this mysterious thing
00:03:24
that pounded on the cabins at night was
00:03:26
it a creature or something else and how
00:03:28
did the food problem get magically
00:03:30
solved with all these crops especially
00:03:32
with no one around to tend to them most
00:03:34
likely it has something to do with the
00:03:36
entity wanting to give the town's people
00:03:38
hope so it feeds off of It season 3
00:03:41
gives us brief glimpses into how the
00:03:43
story of this town originated a group of
00:03:45
couples decided to sacrifice their
00:03:47
children in return for immortality but
00:03:50
the specifics of who promised them this
00:03:52
when and how it all played out is still
00:03:54
a big question mark Smiley's rebirth is
00:03:57
also mired in mystery he was killed by
00:03:59
Boy 's blood which was infected by a man
00:04:02
named Martin we still don't know how
00:04:03
exactly Boyd was transported to Martin's
00:04:06
dungeon is he a story Walker like Julie
00:04:09
is it this place or did it have
00:04:10
something to do with the torch he lit
00:04:12
either way Martin infected Boyd saying
00:04:15
my blood is your blood Boyd uses this
00:04:18
blood which reacts violently to Smiley
00:04:20
resulting in his death speaking of
00:04:22
Martin he's a whole mystery to himself
00:04:24
he doesn't know who Boyd is but somehow
00:04:26
knows Julie and that Boyd killed his own
00:04:29
wife when ch he performs an autopsy on
00:04:31
Smiley it appears a tooth is retrieved
00:04:33
the only other character besides Fatima
00:04:35
who we've seen lose a tooth is this
00:04:37
corpse found in The Root Cellar however
00:04:39
that may be from decomposition but who
00:04:42
is this guy I've seen a lot of people
00:04:43
guessing it's Jade based on the
00:04:45
similarity between his outfit in season
00:04:47
1 and the beard but if you look closely
00:04:50
this is a different shirt also bonus
00:04:52
points if you caught Jade wearing a
00:04:53
similar looking bracelet to the one
00:04:55
Tabitha and Miranda made for their
00:04:57
husbands a nice nod to the eventual
00:04:59
realization that Jade and Tabitha Are
00:05:01
Spiritual husband and wife of sorts
00:05:03
Smiley's body ends up erupting in cicas
00:05:06
this is a very interesting choice and
00:05:08
insects in cicas spend years underground
00:05:10
and undertake a metamorphosis of sorts
00:05:13
shedding their exoskeleton in a process
00:05:15
Ain to rebirth Smiley will literally be
00:05:18
reborn Underground when these cicas
00:05:20
enter into the bodies of Julie Randall
00:05:22
and Marielle these bodies are put into a
00:05:24
dreamlike state where Boyd will end up
00:05:27
destroying the music box which releases
00:05:29
them from the their Slumber this whole
00:05:31
thing has never been explained nor how
00:05:33
the cicada's choice of victims relate to
00:05:35
the lullabi they touch they break they
00:05:37
steal however you could make an argument
00:05:40
Randall breaks Marielle Steals and Julie
00:05:42
touches we also don't know the extent of
00:05:45
this trauma it's so bad for Randall he
00:05:48
almost gives himself electroshock
00:05:50
therapy however Mariel does everything
00:05:52
in her power not to talk about it I do
00:05:54
think something could be dormant in
00:05:56
these guys that hasn't left them in
00:05:59
season 3 Victor talks about how the boy
00:06:01
in white tked him with Gathering items
00:06:03
from the dead after he awoke the night
00:06:05
of the Town Massacre of which Victor was
00:06:07
the only Survivor was it the man in
00:06:09
yellow who did this did he do it by
00:06:11
himself was it the creatures it seems as
00:06:13
though the defining event that restarts
00:06:15
this story is a big Massacre such as
00:06:18
this one which may explain the last date
00:06:20
etched in the lighthouse is 1978 we
00:06:23
don't know much about Victor's life
00:06:25
during this post Massacre period which
00:06:27
is a bit of a red flag he didn't even
00:06:29
have a Talisman to keep him safe in the
00:06:31
wake of this attack the boy in white
00:06:33
tasked Victor with collecting items of
00:06:35
significance from the town's people and
00:06:36
we'll also see that the monsters
00:06:38
themselves hoard specific items down in
00:06:40
the tunnels so obviously something is
00:06:43
going on here this monster who is
00:06:45
somehow in human form during the day
00:06:47
tells Victor he needs to stop coming
00:06:49
down into the tunnels just how many
00:06:51
times has Victor been down there and for
00:06:53
what purpose there's also The
00:06:55
Disappearance of Victor's sister Eloise
00:06:58
according to Victor he found pieces of
00:07:00
her but she was so small he couldn't
00:07:02
really tell with Victor telling us
00:07:03
Eloise was a master at hideand-seek I
00:07:06
can pretty much guarantee we'll see this
00:07:08
character in the future I tend to
00:07:10
believe she's somewhere in from unless
00:07:12
she made it back home like Tabitha but
00:07:14
lost her memory one of the oddest
00:07:16
characters introduced near the end of
00:07:18
season 2 was the kimono woman not
00:07:20
everyone can see her and she has the
00:07:22
ability unlike the monsters to enter
00:07:24
into homes that have Talisman on them
00:07:26
the Talisman themselves are a mystery
00:07:28
all we know is that boy found them in a
00:07:30
strange Hut and they somehow prevent the
00:07:32
creatures from entering a building the
00:07:34
kimono woman appears to be some sort of
00:07:36
Undead Midwife helping the monsters
00:07:38
bring back Smiley speaking of giving
00:07:40
birth we still don't know why nothing
00:07:42
showed up on Fatima's sonogram although
00:07:45
we know whatever entity has a control
00:07:47
over this town can manipulate
00:07:48
Electronics like radios lights and
00:07:50
jukeboxes rarely mentioned since season
00:07:53
1 is the Flight of the chromino its tale
00:07:55
of a lost Dragon needing to find a map
00:07:57
to get home is likely a metaphor for our
00:08:00
Town's people struggling to get back to
00:08:02
the real world who was talking to Sarah
00:08:04
in season 1 remember she had killed the
00:08:07
boy etched on her skin at one point she
00:08:09
does say they are voices plural it's not
00:08:12
just one person they also had her draw
00:08:14
this picture which ended up being a
00:08:16
candy bar father cotri Drew so the voice
00:08:18
is no things similar to the man in
00:08:20
yellow back to the creatures we still
00:08:22
don't know why they wear period clothing
00:08:24
but if the previous Town story ran from
00:08:25
1931 to 1978 these could be characters
00:08:29
from that time period and what about
00:08:31
this guy who remembers Julie in season 1
00:08:34
how did he know who Julie was we'll see
00:08:36
him briefly in the smiley birthing scene
00:08:38
there's also this really interesting
00:08:40
theory that the night the creatures
00:08:41
tried to get into Gym's flipped over
00:08:43
camper they say lines like row row your
00:08:46
boat and don't let them go into the
00:08:53
water this could tie into the boat
00:08:55
Theory where one of the ways to get out
00:08:56
of the town is with a boat
00:08:58
coincidentally one is missing from the
00:08:59
Polaroid the kimona woman took and we
00:09:02
don't really know why we also don't know
00:09:04
how this town chooses who finds the tree
00:09:06
in the road and how everyone comes from
00:09:07
all these spots across only the United
00:09:10
States accompanying this tree are a
00:09:12
murder of crows which could just be
00:09:14
symbolism but one flies into colony
00:09:16
house as Fatima is about to get her
00:09:18
tarot cards read by Tilly we never did
00:09:20
get to see what these cards said Tilly
00:09:22
is also a huge mystery and I don't think
00:09:24
we're done with her either I believe she
00:09:26
was previously in this town and was
00:09:28
looking for a way back in in order to
00:09:30
help Fatima in her journey giving birth
00:09:33
to Smiley we see her dancing for joy as
00:09:35
she arrives back in town and she is
00:09:37
awfully helpful during Fatima's
00:09:39
pregnancy and sees no problem with her
00:09:41
eating literal rotting food there are
00:09:43
also a slew of Dead characters which
00:09:45
somehow linger around town visiting
00:09:47
different characters when convenient
00:09:49
from the German Shepherd in season 1
00:09:51
father Contry and even Tom the bartender
00:09:54
Jade said energy here seems to defy the
00:09:56
first law of thermodynamics and instead
00:09:58
of energy transferring from one thing to
00:10:00
another here it lingers the whole idea
00:10:03
of reincarnation can also be further
00:10:05
explored characters like Elgen share
00:10:08
certain commonalities like a missing eye
00:10:10
with the civil war soldier and Pioneer
00:10:12
this would suggest Elgen is The
00:10:13
Reincarnation of this character
00:10:15
stretching back hundreds of years who
00:10:17
Moved Sarah and Boyd's tent in their
00:10:19
Journey to the lighthouse in season 1
00:10:21
and what was this Forest of spiderwebs
00:10:23
Ethan refers in one of his dreams of a
00:10:25
spider descending from the ceiling and
00:10:27
he also has a drawing of a spider this
00:10:29
is something that's yet to be revealed
00:10:31
there are some interesting threads like
00:10:33
that time Boyd tried to create a
00:10:34
creature trap and how Randall said the
00:10:36
creatures follow a fixed pattern every
00:10:38
night these seem to have fallen by the
00:10:40
wayside we haven't even begun to explore
00:10:42
the significance of Miranda's paintings
00:10:44
they seem to depict events that have
00:10:46
happened in the past and will continue
00:10:48
to happen in the future as the story
00:10:50
repeats why was a Costa's first name
00:10:52
hidden for so long in the finale we
00:10:54
learn it's Dany to my knowledge there's
00:10:56
only ever been one mention of a Dany in
00:10:58
this show and that person was the driver
00:11:00
of the car that fell into the motel pool
00:11:03
with the anui kids having successfully
00:11:05
alerted Jaden Tabitha to their past will
00:11:07
we see any more of them and what will
00:11:09
happen after the events of the finale
00:11:11
most of the Town doesn't know that
00:11:13
Fatima killed Tilly while Boyd and Sara
00:11:15
literally committed torture what
00:11:17
consequences will they face going
00:11:19
forward now those were the unanswered
00:11:21
questions I could think of which ones
00:11:22
did I miss and which ones are you most
00:11:24
looking forward to getting answered I
00:11:26
