FROM Season 3 Episode 1 Breakdown, Theories and Review: WE ARE SO BACK!

[@EmansReviews]

What did you think about this episode?

[@Mrs.frostedsweets]

It was wild!! My heart is still racing.

[@EmansReviews]

@@Mrs.frostedsweets same!

[@TishaA_29_O]

Ok overall……100mph in the last 5 minutes and I was left with a racing heart and wanting more!!! I cried while they tortured Tien Chen (and Boyd). Anyone notice how much blue and yellow was in the episode? I’m wondering if this is the first time I’ve noticed it or if it was very noticeable. Wondering how they are using colors….. Also noticed how worried Kenny was about Ethan and Julie losing both parents there….and then he lost his second parent there.

[@eddieterrell5457]

Something interesting was when Boyd told father chatri right before he smashed the music box that thing said this place feeds on hope and let everyone die, that wasn’t my wife! What are you?? This may lead somewhere.

[@RiyazGuerra]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but can't they fish for food? Or are there no lakes nearby?

[@No-ke9ok]

Mrs. Lui was the soul of that town. She fed and cared for everyone 😢

[@sydnelle]

she was but no crops + no animals= no food. she had a language barrier but sadly it was no point of her being there. she did have that motherly love which will be missed. hopefully her son can pick up his moms theory and share with boyd

[@blacprophet1153]

I know that it is wrong but I was hoping that the monsters eat that little boy after he opened up that door to chase after a goat! He cannot be trusted just like the little girl who got tricked by the monsters to open up the window and Boyd left hom to the monsters!!

Victor has survived his whole life in that town for a reason. People need to learn to follow/Listen to Victor.

[@iHeartMusiq]

Agree

[@Noshushpls]

I think this episode alone answers a lot of people questions on how he survived, he knows how to handle a weapon and he stayed the most calm with the animals getting what he could in the bar and saving Jade at the same time he also didn’t hesitate to get the animals he knows they’re important Victor really does know what he’s doing which we knew but he’s always seemed more of a passive player this episode really showed us why he survived so long by himself

[@LivBlanks]

Why though. He literally can't help anyone. I know he's damaged and blah blah but nobody have the time NOR the patience for his annoying self. He never answers questions directly and always goes on some mystery quote bs. So just no.

[@myagarci]

Yess but season 3 Episode 1 Shatter End ? Why stop on episode 2 ?

[@dannydishes]

It’s so good they finally used the idea of the monsters waiting inside instead of just chasing, definitely adds to the idea that the place is adapting and this is all a game to the monsters

[@hollywoodpineapple8337]

YEAH, they definitely up their game. They weren't really plotting or doing much just walking around. I guess with everything that went on they are changing their strategy. I wonder if they caused the place to change or they are just aware of it and using it to their advantage but they don't control it. It's also interesting they don't want to kill Boyd.

[@Davidscomix]

⁠@@hollywoodpineapple8337I think it’s the latter because they didn’t know the worms could kill them.

[@voges1001]

I think the monsters got new coaches and better training in the offseason this time. Their team is really improved and could win it all this season.

[@itowilltube]

Lol. Team #monster# is using a cheat code@@voges1001

[@sebastianmichael5819]

They were always smart, troughout the whole series, if anything I think the calm before the storm just crushed their hope harder, things are getting progressivelly worse, and the monsters seem to be sort of coordinated with the enviroment changes, boyd wouldn't be as crushed if he didn't know her as well as he did at that point, especially since it will ruin even more his relationship with Kenny, at this point they are like father and son. Patience is key to greater despair, monsters know it. The thing I love about this show is that they don't give you a big blow at once, when you think it can't get worse it does, they could have killed the livestock and destroyed the crops sooner, starving them, it's just not as fun.

[@sumtingwong8592]

I'm so attached to all these characters so they really got me with this whole episode, beyond stressed after that. Rip Kenny's Mom

[@hiddendsyr865]

So I have noticed that whenever people die in fromville they are almost immediately replaced by a new person or group depending on the amount of people that died. It starts with the very first episode where the entire family dies including the father (This happens very slightly after the mathews arive) and that's why they get replaced with the Mathew's family, now you may wonder well jade and toby came the same day and yes but that was an unnatural phenomena in which we are told it does not happen very often. Next after colony house was attacked we lost a ton of people, you know what happened the VERY NEXT DAY? The bus shows up basically refilling the population. The reason I bring this up is I believe that with Tian Chens death I think someone or a couple people will show up with something to help us get through this rough patch with food shortages and winter on the horizon. EDIT: Just to add to this, my head cannon is that Tabitha and victors father will be arrested and on the way back to the precinct they along with the officer are transported back into fromville, this obviously happens a few episodes in the season to give Tabitha enough time to discover some things.

[@CthonicEchoes]

You're onto something for sure, I think, there's a whole thread on this theory on Reddit

[@elizabitty213]

Yes! I agree and I have a theory about people and their fear is what gives the energy in fromville. Like when people are panicking or sad the radios turn on and when the tower was being built and the storm came and everyone was scared and going crazy all the bulbs exploded like an energy overload

[@dreamgirl6272]

We know from the trailer a brand new ambulance will pull up to town so why not police officers you might be onto something

[@kelsiowens1321]

Yes I think u may be onto something bc there’s post to be 2 new characters added

[@Davidscomix]

@@elizabitty213The monsters said it was their hope that gives the town power not their fear. The thing with the tower could be due to the fact that everyone was hopeful it’d work.

[@RickyRickOnDaBeat]

With the knowledge that NOTHING can leave the town, I can’t wrap my head around why Boyd felt the need to risk lives to go get the animals right that second. Why not go find them the second the sun comes up?

[@DoflaminGood]

Thank you ! Im not alone

[@greasher926]

Even if the monsters killed the animals, they can salvage the meat in the morning. It takes a while for a fresh animal to cool down, and the nights are probably cold enough now that the meat won’t spoil.

[@davidnansar8884]

Why would u eat meat killed by the monsters.. and secondly. Boyd didn't ask anybody to come out.. He even asked them to go back but they refused.. it's not his fault she died..

[@adriandesi2809]

There is a LOT of forest out there. If they are exploring for days (ie Jim and Kenny lookingfor Tabitha), then it would be difficult to track down the animals again.

[@davidnansar8884]

@@adriandesi2809 thank you.. Finally Somebody that Thinks things through

[@empressleesa2252]

The Matthews annoy every bone in me except Julie. I never understand how Jim keeps surviving. Ethan is older enough to get slapped cause he is no dummy to the situation so to do that was foolish. And Kenny the second time a parent is killed messing with the Matthews. But will come back and blame Boyd and not himself..Poor Mrs Lui. You was a real one.

[@LadyImano]

Love these theories! I just want to add that I feel like the monsters poisoned the crops. I’ve been uncomfortable from DAY ONE with them leaving their crops outdoors overnight unprotected. The situation with the animals confirmed it for me - the monsters realized they could attack their food supply when they heard Donna say that they were in trouble because the storm wiped out half of their crops. They need to grow them indoors in containers.

[@Ets638]

Really! Grow food for the amount of people in Fromville inside?? Where? How? When? I’m sure you were really worried about this prior to it becoming a real issue. You are an enlightened one.

[@LadyImano]

@@Ets638 I’m just a logical one. Would you leave your food outside with those things and come out the next morning and eat it? And yes, it’s even worth dedicating a whole house to acting as a greenhouse, repurposing or building containers, and throw a talisman in there. I have to say… I’ve loved the From community to date, because people share their theories and we all work together to try to figure this mystery out. That’s the spirit of this community. I encourage you to keep the negativity to yourself if you respond to other people in the future, because it would be a shame to see this community lose that special spark it has.

I think Tabitha went to Victors home town through the tree because his address was on her when she went through the tree.

[@shaquilleknights3197]

🤯 that makes a lot of sense.

[@WhatzHappeningNow9]

Two problems with the theory, 1. She fell from the tower and teleported, didn't use the tree. 2. Victor never got transported even though he had the address as well.

[@breeze904]

Omg that's what I came up with. Whatever artifact, from that time or place, may take you there. I hope she finds a way back.

[@Krain420]

Went down the rabbit hole and Victors lunchbox holds a very interesting history. Apparently there is a connection between the date 1597 and the land itself. “In 1597, Cornelius Wytfliet, a geographer from Leuven, created a map of Northeast North America that included the Penobscot River in present-day Maine.” Tying this together is a mythical land called Norumbega. Perhaps its history holds a key to what’s going on in this town.

[@Krain420]

Also, to answer your effigy question I read up on the history of pagan effigies and by the appearance of them being constructed with thorns/vines means a close relation to fairies or the fairy world. They also are a symbol of sins, sorrows or hardships sculpted in the form of the punished souls hence their human like appearance. My guess is this was one of many towns that were drawn in or consumed by this place. Another theory is the trees/entities are doing more than just moving. They are looking for more victims/towns to consume or to punish. Maybe a generational curse.

[@Noshushpls]

Yep and norumbega was related with Norse settlements and the runes in from world are Norse

[@saibfps8929]

My theory is that the preist in the church may know what Tabitha was talking about cause if you go back in re watch the church scene Tabitha says "He's the one that let my baby fall off that table" and when she leaves the confession booth the preist says "What was HIS name" but she never mentioned Thomas name or gender 🤔

Maybe this happened to the priest once before. A distressed woman coming in talking about this weird place where monsters crawl and how she lost someone - a boy. It could be Victor's sister or mom.

[@deadlyecho]

Because he doesn't trust Victor, so he instead asked Boyd, who definitely has the most experience in going into the forest and coming back alive.... remember they don't know if Tabatha has made it out... Regarding the cows and sheeps, they went for the cows because they are easier to chase and more valuable they know they already lost a bunch of them anyways... they could have rushed them in the nearest house... but I think it's difficult given their size... also people forget when you're too afraid, your thought process and decision making is not optimal and bright..

[@path5657]

People hating on Ethan for going after the goat... But think about it, the adults just spent the ENTIRE episode stressing about how important the livestock are to their survival. He knows it's one and only resource they have. He's literally just been told that the goat he's been friends with since the first season is going to save the town. So when he sees all the adults being brave and selfless as they try to get the animals to saftey, of COURSE he's going to open the door to save Alma!! He's a kid who came here believing in heroes and quests... He doesnt want to standby when he believes he can help save the town.

[@stevenharper7118]

I was under the impression that them being pulled around in the woods was actually the lighthouse rearranging the woods each night like an randomization of the "world map" so to say, each night. This would account for them being pushed/pulled in a certain direction and then ending up randomly in the spider nest.

That was a first episode and a half, wow seriously... have not felt genuine chills watching a horror series/film for a long while. Have to say, as someone that gets sleep paralysis quite often, Elgin's sleep monster reminded me of the entity in my sleep paralysis episodes. It sometimes leads me to force myself to stay awake -I know as soon as I fall asleep again, she'll be there waiting for me. Really chilling scene. I absolutely do not trust Tilly... Not ready to face the aftermath of what happened to one of my favourite characters next week. :(

Poor Mrs. Liu... (she'll be back in characters talking to her although she is gone) I will write that I think Ethan could end up being the future Victor- History repeating itself if the townsfolk end up wiped out and he's the only one left standing.

21:04 yes, she tried to drown Elgin. Elgin even mentions that when the people found him asleep he wasn't in water, but he was spitting up water like he was drowning until they woke him up. It was similar to the Cicadas burning Kenny in his dream and then he had a burn on his arm when he woke up.

[@tyizzle80]

I dont think bathtub lady is evil. As a matter of fact she has some sort of strong Bond to Elgin. She touched his face in a very loving way. Like a Mother does when she hasn't seen her child in a while.

[@TangixMochii]

But the bathtub lady also tried to drown him in season 2. I do think that entity is just like the ballerina that haunted Boyd

[@1Bandt]

[@tyizzle80]

@1Bandt I have changed my stance now I wrote this a month ago. You know on From you Theories can change from week to week 🤣

[@TheQSwizzle]

With the portal taking her directly to Victor's hometown after his mother specifically said the lighthouse is where they could go home makes me think each person in Fromville has their own portal scattered across the woods they must take to go back home. (Lighthouses are also prominent feature in coastal Maine)

[@brandonreed09]

The portal took her to the same Lighthouse that Boyd and Sarah had seen. It's also the same Lighthouse Tabitha saw in her own dreams in season 1. It's in Fromville. It was the Boy in White pushing Tabitha that sent her out of Fromville and into Maine. It was just delayed until she was out of the Lighthouse.

@@brandonreed09 I was referring to the portal the boy pushed her through when she fell out of the lighthouse

Crazy, heartbreaking episode!! We've gotten so many connections and "mirroring" of Victor's family and The Matthews. I have a theory we may find out Victor's mom also lost a baby. I have always thought the boy in white was Somehow associated with Thomas And that could explain why Victor and Ethan saw him. Both families being mirror images of one another but from different Cycles in the town

[@dharrington420]

the monsters could be acting more methodically because the music box was destroyed, whatever came from the music box was worse than them.

[@Mesa4u2nv]

This show just gets better and better. I was at a complete loss at the end of this episode - like how are they gonna survive when these monsters are just getting more brutal and all the best people in the town are just throwing in the towel or running on fumes. I think they have to follow these monsters lead and start setting traps for them to at least keep them off their food supply & idk get a carrier pigeon out to Tabitha about getting some good soil and materials for a greenhouse into the town whenever she comes back. I do think she will eventually make her way back.

[@RtytheRT]

Is no one going to mention that Victor looks as old as his dad?

[@DJoySinc]

@RtytheRT Maybe it is Victor's sister's husband. Maybe she made it back, grew up, got married, but continued to be haunted by the memories of her time in Fromville. That would explain the paintings seen in the season 3 trailer. Her husband would be around Victor's age. Tabitha just assumed it was Victor's dad and in the next episode she will be corrected by him. I don't know, that's my guess because yah, Victor's dad should be a lot older. Either way, it was a great episode.

[@Mogorman87]

Yeah that’s the one thing that doesn’t make sense in this show 😂😂😂

[@greasher926]

The actor who plays Victor, Scott McCord, is 53. The Actor who plays Victors dad is Robert Joy, he is 73. He’s definitely old enough to play his dad. Victor has been living in a high stress environment, stress will age you very fast!

[@Ian-dm4ed]

The show has stated that the place feeds on hope among other things, which seems to indicate that it is a supernatural entity living within the real world that attaches to these characters and brings them into itself. This means that it has the ability to bring them in but also let them out to a certain degree. You could be in the real world with the entity still attached to you which explains the little boy in white. This also hints that maybe the characters can never fully leave unless the entity allows it

[@DermotBrophy]

i like how you say this like its fact or you figured it out the shows plot sesaon 3 andwe are given zero answers to anything thats going on why was there a man in a room with chains why do the creatures only come out at night how do the trees work where is the electricity coming from the show is feeling more like lost mysteries either to drag it out or becaue once we know its pretty much the endgame

[@Ian-dm4ed]

@@DermotBrophy Well I'm just using clues the show has given and following logically but I do agree this is my opinion. All your questions are too specific and could still make sense if the place was a living entity. Lost was terrible and still had a supernatural entity

Thank you for your insight in theories, brother I'm hooked on this show and I have a lot of questions and theories of my own but I don't know many people outside of the internet watching the show. Keep doing what you do E! 🙏🏿

[@TheJayair]

My Theory is that, there things at play keeping these monsters at bay. From the random people walking into the town and never going out. The more you look at this, is that the humans are the herd and the monsters are the actual shepherds. I mean think electricity with no connection to a grid or power source, Animals who were just there. Who placed them.

[@fivegingers7329]

The season's first episode was perfectly composed. The grandma monster was a combination of terrifying and horrifying! The town's residents appear to be facing hardship this season. My hope is that creators and writers can connect loss and hope while also helping us empathize with the characters.

[@Teeville1]

Excellent review as usual! I find it interesting that the boy in White is in the real world. I believe he is the one bringing certain people to the town to help. It is no accident that Mr. Fish and Loaves and others made it to the town. I believe he is trying to help them survive the game in his own way. Choosing a person known for organizing and setting up a camp with little resources for the purposes of survival is genius. Keep up the good work Eman. See you on the next video!😉

[@jczbas]

I think if he touches u / push off light house that’s how he’s able to be seen IRL

[@phillylady]

I agree with you EMan on the monsters and “this place” working in sync to keep the people there. It’s not lost on me how “this place” has provided for the inhabitants in terms of food and shelter, so long as the people stay inside at nights and not try to leave. The people can essentially live their lives during the day, but must remain inside at nights. Maybe that’s how Victor was able to survive for so long; after losing his family as a child he had no way of getting home (thus no desire to), and thus the mysterious animals and vegetables were provided in abundance. Once Boyd got set on leaving that’s when all “hell” broke loose.

[@brandonreed09]

3:30 Jacob on Lost could project himself throughout the Island, in a type of ghost form. He also had a lighthouse temple that had a mirror device that you could use to see specific places around the world, like Jack's house. I think the Boy in White can do something similar, even project himself outside of Fromville and into Camden. It also seems like he can control who sees him, like when Ethan could see him but nobody else for awhile or when Sarah saw him but Boyd didn't before getting into the Farway Tree.

The monsters tricked them by leaving the animals to streets!!!Boyd did the stupid decision that caused others to put their life in danger😢

[@rainbowsixODST]

Stupid? Maybe. But those animals were the last food source they had. If they lost them in the woods they’d all starve. Boyd’s reaction was driven by instinct and a desire to save the community. It wasn’t a “bad” choice just not a wise one. If I had been Boyd I’d like to think I would have stopped and asked myself “why” the animals were out and “where” the monsters were.

[@neilshijilkumar2042]

@@rainbowsixODST But risking life for them is ok but I'm not satisfied because if they had the idea or a way to kill the monsters.. then taking that weapon and killing them ,if practically possible,then Boyd is 👍 right... else it was a bad idea but also at the same time he can't see like that too... I'm 50-50..😭

Boyd's out there, saving people leave him alone. The other option was they have no food, which is death and bedlam cause some are trying to take food only for themselves and that would be the towns people attacking each other.
