FROM | "These Fragile Lives" - S.03 - E.07 | Recap and Theories

[@nautilusfiles]

The HD version of the video is taking forever to encode on YT's end, so it might not be available for the early-birds. Sorry for the inconvenience, but a 20 minute wait should resolve it.

[@Ready4Raw]

1. Randall and Julie were drawn back to the ruins by From's dark entity. 2. Victor will get Jasper to talk, but maybe not until the final episode. and 3. I wish Tilly had minded her business more. She meant well but also had more knowledge about Fromville and Fatima than she led on. I think she saw the tarot card and knew something was wrong with Fatima. Sacrificing herself to be killed accelerated Fatima's plight and transformation. I think that was no accident on Tilly's behalf.

[@markkuykendall5475]

End of vid questions: 1. Don't know, but I'm uncomfortable with the loose end that is Martin. 2. Japser will speak and it'll be a mixed bag. He'll provide valuable information but also cause harm with his words. 3. I've never bought into the Tillie-is-sketchy idea. I see even less reason to now.

[@lisasimpson8895]

i think jasper will talk to jade and no one else

[@markkuykendall5475]

This is off topic for the episode but I've not seen anyone explore this possibility and I feel like a moron for not thinking of it myself since Kristy dissected that chump that Boyd wacked with the blood worms: The monsters are all dry inside. They're desiccated. Okay, fine. I'm wondering now how the monsters react to water, particularly if waterr is forced down their gullets.

[@nautilusfiles]

Interesting! I hadn't thought of that, but yeah that could be the case. Water could be a weakness or worse, for them. Water keeps coming up in some obvious but also subtle ways (the kimono lady watery hands, the lake at the cabins, Ethan's fairytale, etc). Maybe it's time they find out if these ghouls can swim!

[@WineandFrom]

@@markkuykendall5475 interesting indeed

[@freelanxe]

Tillie got to see at least one of the tarrow cards, she definitely knows more then us lead on.

[@ikimeht]

Not sure how canonical it is but a behind the scenes photo mgm posted had the first card visible and it was the Page of Swords. That might mean absolutely nothing since it's not shown in the actual show though

[@lorenzoFCIM1908]

I believe that the water in fromville like the lakes and rivers are the way out of the town.

[@BudravenOG]

'Don't go chasing waterfalls' starts playing on the jukebox

[@xkassidy]

Hearing Tillie explain how she's already grieved for her life before they arrived in Fromville made me realize that's why she stands out from the rest of them. her actions and emotions were always sus to me because it wasn't how a normal person would act once they found out they would be declared dead among friends - but to Tillie this wasn't news to her since she got her diagnosis. I also think that is why you associated John Locke from Lost with her. As for Fatima, I think every time she or someone goes on to explain the "cravings" she's been having, they do a cutaway. Maybe this is obvious: she hasn't mentioned the blood cravings to anyone, right? They're only talking about the rotting food part. Otherwise, I think they'd be a lot more concerned than they are now. I'm afraid Fatima will wait until it's too late to be honest with them. As for Victor and the puppet, I'm really excited to see where the writers will go with that one. It really comes down to how sci-fi Fromville is and where the line is drawn. Do puppets talk, or will it be Victor's subconscious? If you help a ghost, will you escape? When you remember a night terror, will it come true??? I don't think this episode was "worse" than the others, but the last one was just so awesome that perspectively this episode had to set more dominos up to be knocked down later. Damn I love this. i can't wait for you to recap the new severance season !

[@nautilusfiles]

She's definitely cut form the John Locke cloth. She seemed, to me, like someone who was just happy to be alive and present.

[@Giant2005]

Man, I was not on the "Tillie is evil" bus, but this episode changed that for me. Her final line implies she knows something beyond what she should. There is definitely more to her than how she presented herself.

[@markkuykendall5475]

Oh hey, another off topic thing....The "bar"(gas station) in town has a public pay phonebooth outside it that looks like it's in decent shape and would probably work if the town wasn't in the middle of a magic country. We all know that those booths have phone books in them. I wonder what the townies could learn from that phone book? Has anyone picked the phone up and tried it?

[@LemonSte]

yeah its interesting that was mentioned in the ep

[@WineandFrom]

This is their worst rated episode and I agree with that vote. So boring and seems like they are creating new questions without ever answering the ones they created ages ago. Where's the boy in white these days? And where is that dog? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@nautilusfiles]

I think it would be in the best interest of the story, and the sanity of the writers, to stick to 2 or 3 threads and ride them out for the entire season. The constant jumping around has to be hard to wrangle into something coherent.

[@lisasimpson8895]

boy in white is probably being recast because he's grown up now hahah

[@PedroApp]

Probably the dog is from the real world, just to show that there is a "gate" somewhere

[@Parmenedes]

There are two things that I think are likely to happen before the end of the season: 1) Fatima is going to get her Armani sweater back from Julie. We know that monsters have an attachment to items, and that is the only item that I can recall Fatima being attached to. 2) I think we'll find out that Marielle is the (or at least a) mole. She has been really sus this season - pretending like the cicada thing didn't happen, Nicky's mysterious death after being stabilized, followed by her thinking that Randal was asking if she was ok because of that, the mysterious meds she gave Fatima and Randal, etc. Also, upon rewatching the season, I've noticed that there are a lot of shots that put much emphasis on the characters drinking tapwater. Makes me wonder if something is in that stuff. Edit: I'm also wondering if Victor is going to end up hanging himself (possibly because he thinks it will save the town), given all the shots of him with that big creepy rope in his bedroom.

[@coffeebooksandthoughts]

That rope was used to save him and Julie when the Colony house was invaded by the monsters.

[@Parmenedes]

Yeah I know. It's just curious the way they frame the shots with that rope in it this season.

[@coffeebooksandthoughts]

@@Parmenedes It's definitely something I've noticed as well. Victor didn't have it hanging and ready to use prior to the invasion, but it's still up now. Maybe it will come into play again. But I doubt Victor will use it to off himself.

[@dakf660]

Great video

[@nautilusfiles]

Glad you liked it!

[@leilou19]

1. I think there are 2 Randalls. When he runs off into the woods after the cicada attack, you hear his voice say "go home" How? Julie can't drive stick. 2. I think Victor will have a nervous breakdown it will cause Henry to repeat what he said to Donna. Jasper will not talk. 3. Tillie is still sus. I think she was gonna help Fatima terminate the "pregnancy"

[@IndigobluBeauty]

I don’t think tillie was a mole but I definitely think she knew more. Didn’t the tarot cards tell her she’d end up in fromville or maybe I’m misremembering?!

[@nikopolkarhangelsk]

1. I am not sure if we will have another cicada monster appearance but there is more to the story when it comes to three people who were affected. So far Randal looks like he is in worst shape of all. 2. I am not really too interested in Jasper. It might turn out to be jump the shark moment for me but for now I am waiting for it to play out. It feels like one of town's weird voices like Jim's phone call and radio call,Sara's voices, kimono lady...they are unreliable narrators and I think they are like Martin - manipulative and with hidden agenda. Most probably leading to another new horror or just more people dying. 3. Never thought Tilly is anything more than a cooky old lady.

[@nautilusfiles]

Regarding Jasper; I think that's likely what it is. I think he's one of the many voices/visions that torment the townies. I think the entity might speak through the doll to mess with the victim.

[@in_vino_veritas7938]

Maybe Jasper will speak to Ethan. And I still don't think Tilly was bad or sus

[@CalaverasRC]

I’m actually enjoying the last 3 EP’s idk lmao I guess I have low standards

[@nautilusfiles]

Ain't nothing wrong with that!

[@1000yeardragon]

Man I hope they put Fatima in the box, I know they won't but I'm soooooo sick of her, even more so than I was of Dale.

[@WineandFrom]

Agreed. I'm also so tired of Tabetha and Jim.

[@1000yeardragon]

@WineandFrom I'm sick of them always using their emotions and never any reasoned thought or logic, but that can be said about everyone there really but their's is especially bad

[@pandalyn2267]

Same. All three of them are super annoying. Now we have Acosta to add to the bag.

[@LarissaDelavia]

got my like because of zoinks it made me laught

[@cptmcrni]

The show is suffering from Walking Dead Syndrome - the writers have all these characters and keep having them drama talk in groups of two. Somehow Victor will leave jasper alone for Jade to happen upon - Jasper will tell something to Jade, but no one else will be present. Where is the boy in white lately? haven't seen him since Tabitha got back!?

[@nautilusfiles]

Agreed. If they stuck to a few threads but included and limiting things to pairings, the story would flow much better. Each story arcs inches forward, and that usually doesn't go over well with an audience unless the circumstances are compelling enough, like say GoT.

[@zeyadfarghlay1945]

Hi dud how càn i contact with you for working with you

[@LemonSte]

Tillie is a weird one. part of me thinks she's a mole, part of me always felt like she was kind of an audience insert? Maybe both? Something was definitely always off with her. I don't think it's meaningless. I wonder if she intended to provoke fatima in order for fatima to flee and maybe continue her transformation.

[@SabeFett]

Pretty disappointed with the episode overall. This was the first time I felt like an episode wasted my time for the most part. The ending was the most exciting part and then it, well, ended. Hoping the next episode gives us more.

[@nautilusfiles]

💯!

[@jett742]

If Fatima isn’t changing than perhaps that room Elgin found is where she gives birth
