*"A fate that worse than death"* is what i was thinking in the last scene. Great. Fricking. Job. Alex.

[@rakancer4336]

Artistically disturbing. It is extremely gratifying to see a production at this level in analog horror media. It is an extremely deep psychological horror story that does not use futile and artificial tricks to create an essenceless terror. Here, the terror is built in stages, it is slow and delightful to follow where, in its climax moments, it leaves you euphoric and completely terrified. This is a totally believable story, that's what makes it even more terrifying, frustration, depression, loneliness, longing, mystery, are some of the nuances I can glean from what I saw. And yes... That's how real horror is made. I really hope that the next volumes don't tend to reproduce what was done here, as it is unique and different from the others. It is truly a polished jewel, Alex Kister's greatest production and also the best work in technical and substantial aspects in an Analog Horror medium.

[@bushdid91195]

You know, while i like 4 and everything that came after it, this is a major improvement.

Alex's talent to create luminal spaces is incredible, around 7:30 when he enters the room it seems like two different worlds

[@MrCool94721]

So I think I have this right in time placement wise. This is either right after Adam and the wife incident or a few months or weeks after. Jude (Adam’s father) was put in witness protection after his wife was murder and his kid taken (since probably people thought he was behind it). He had a friend who’d take him out of state but I believe his own anxiety got in the way hence the anxiety commercials and pills. The cartoon of the Shepard represents not only what happened after to the shepherd earlier in the Gabriel video scenes we’ve seen before, but it also represents Jude currently. Jude is the shepherd that the alternates manipulated, Adam is the lamb that was killed and replaced, and the farmer is Lynn who asked him to come back for her and Adam that same day she was killed. The alternate we see now is N who can apparently taken on a variety of different forms and possible also impersonated the officer Davis we saw in this vid since he seemed a tad off. If I missed anything feel free to correct me

[@sboy2044]

Lynn offed herself, she wasn’t murdered. And why did Jude not respond to Thatcher when he was done talking to Ruth?

[@plopcornmachine2375]

I think part of this whole narrative, as referenced by the announcement by the Temporal Agency at the beginning is that time is sort of messed up. So I think that is why things seem out of order.

[@MrCool94721]

@@sboy2044 that’s right is she did I just see it as an alternate responsibility so I see it as murder since they cause people to off themselves through psychological trauma

[@happy_valentin3424]

Everything seems right but I personally think Lt. Thatcher is the alternate we see in vol 333 and is a sort of foot soldier for N and Gabriel to appear and fully break a person

[@ProfoundMentalRetardation3]

[@Bruhmanofyear2]

Okay so here's interpretation of this volume 1. Jude, just like how Judas betrayed Jesus somehow betrayed his family to the alternates which is what the man on the other line of the phone referred to. 2. The Thatcher that appears in this video is an alternate. 3. Jude had an overdose on the pills and hallucinated the alternate that took Adam and caused Lynn to sewerslide along with the other disturbing imagery. 4. In the claymations, the Lamb represents Adam and specifically his future version we see in Vol. 2, The Farmer represents Lynn and the Shephard (the one who's actually chained up, not Jesus) represents Jude.

[@sboy2044]

The Intruder took Adam tho?

[@kukumba56]

Good observations. I only disagree with #2. Thatcher's encounter with the alternate happens at the police station after he leaves Weaver behind at the Murray home. At this point I think he was just a cop enforcing the TDA, 2 weeks after his promotion to Lt.

Alex, my GOAT, you and your team have TRULY outdone yourselves with this one. The visible growth from over the past 3 years has been inspiring to say the least, and I’m so happy to see that through every roadblock and obstacle, you were able to deliver something truly spectacular. This feels like a culmination of every great thing from all of your previous work (not just TMC) all carefully crafted into one brilliant volume. Again, this was truly a treat to watch at the premiere, and I sincerely cannot wait for what’s next to come. And with 1 Million subs just right around the corner, I think it’s safe to say that dedicating yourself to your work here on KZbin was certainly WORTH THE RISK ❤️ Keep up the excellent work, and have a great rest of your day mate. You’ve earned it 👏👏👏👏👏

I love the connection between the events with Jude and the events with the Shepherd. The Shepherd had one of his lambs made isn't something new by Angel Gabriel. The Shepherd was then led away by (what I have to assume) is a follower of Gabriel, and killed. Jude, just like the Shepherd, had one of his children (his lamb) made into something new by Gabriel. And he was later led to death because of it. Also! Both Jude and the Shepherd searched for forgiveness (The Shepherd prayed for it, and Jude tried to run for start a new life) Super cool stuff. Love the symbolism, love this series so so much.

From what I’ve got for now, I believe Jude may have taken too many of his prescription pills and is hallucinating encounters with alternates. It is likely he is infected with M.A.D., from what I know. Given the scene at the end, where we only see Jude, it seems the alternates he is seeing aren’t really there. I’ll edit this tomorrow and add more on my interpretation and my theories.

[@CynicalButOptimistic]

Maybe that's why the Kuai O'O bird call was used in the teaser? "Calling for someone who doesn't exist."

[@folly_regretevator]

@@CynicalButOptimistic Thinking about that, that’s actually super smart. There could be to interpretations of that. He’s crying out for help when nobody’s there to help him, like Mark, or he’s being tormented by alternates that aren’t really there.

[@Zeromasterxv]

​@@folly_regretevatorIt's a theory but that thatcher was an alternate. He may have been the alternate from volume 333. I also think that everything was planned. If Jude didn't die because of the MAD he suffered from, then the Alternate would have killed him to make it happen.

[@yair6999]

@@CynicalButOptimisticIt was a mating call, so my theory is that since it was a teaser, it was suppose to tease that this vol was around Jude (yk someone who lost their mate) but i also kind of connected it to thatcher and adam (evelin and that other chick thatcher lost) But nice theory tho that bird mate call i guess connects to a whole lot of things in the series 😅
