[@cmasterson]

I figure out from. lol. 😂 the answer is right in our face the entire time. Now I’m gonna tell you and all your viewers soon. I thought about it last night and its chef kiss. The writers are geniuses.

[@cmasterson]

I figured out what story from is close to. It’s gonna blow your mind. The answer is one we all know. WIZARD OF OZ. But horror. Dorthy gets taken to a different place after an event (tree in the road/ tornado). In the story she meets characters that are looking for something they already have. One looking for courage (Kenny), one looking for a heart, one a brain, and she just wants to go back home. She can go back home anytime. White witch guides her down the yellow brick road (boy in white guding and yellow being a theme). Evil witch that has flying monkeys (birds/ ravens). 🐦‍⬛ In the end someone is pulling the strings and that person is someone she interacted with in the beginning. I can go on and on but I think you get the point. The story is just a modern horror wizard of Oz with extras to make it an intriguing tv show.

[@TimMartin-hf3mb]

It could be both Jade and Tabatha who are chosen, after all they both showed up in that town at the same time.

[@The_Barefoot_Wrestler8824]

why does everybody perceive it, like Boyd got other people killed or risked lives? The only one who can have beef with him is jade, because he snatched the talisman and ran outside, Victor and Tein see the situation, and they pick to come outside and try to help.. Boyd even told Tein go, She said we do it together.. Boyd never called for help. He did not really get her killed. They way it's been presented so far the monsters should be able to leave a room if the talisman is on the wall, Boyd put one in the barn they are already inside, after they kill people of course, they seem to knock them to the ground when they leave, also colony house they killed and they could leave. So it seems like if they hang or if they or on the floor, monsters can leave but maybe not enter.

[@smilingknight8603]

It’s not so much about Tien Chen coming outside, what makes Boyd probably feel responsible is the fact that they tortured her in front of him solely to try and break him. In that sense it is kind of his responsibility for what happened. If the monsters weren’t trying to break Boyd, they probably never would’ve let the animals out in the first place

[@beckyt72]

I posted same question

[@ServiceProcess]

Boyd isn't responsible for what happened to Tian Chen, as when he was trying to herd the cow in he told her to go back to the house and she insisted on helping him.

[@margiem1534]

He was definitely responsible, the only reason they tortured her was to try and break him.

[@JeremyIceAndFire33]

Looking at the scene as a whole, Tien Chen coming outside in isolation isn't Boyds fault i agree, but all of the other surrounding circumstances are because of Boyd. They killed Tien Chen solely for the purpose of breaking Boyd. This whole ambush was all about hurting someone Boyd cares about, the monsters only let the animals out of their pen in the first place to set this trap for Boyd. In that sense he does bear some of the responsibility for what happened imo. And it looks like even Boyd is blaming himself for it as well if the "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" was any indication.

[@debbieebbiebobebbie]

He should have done exactly what Donna said and stay his ass in the post office.

Tien chen💔 Kenny 💔💔 Boyd😭💔💔💔

[@DawggBone]

Notice how everyone was on the “road” when they entered the town? The carousel, the looping road, they are stuck. Where? Stuck in the wheel of karma. Trauma generates karma, karma is guilt. The town is actually there to help them heal from the trauma. Remember the Matthews lost a child, so to heal they must save a child. So now you can see how the monsters are helping Boyd. Boyd can't save everyone, that's his trauma, when he realizes that he is free. That's why the tree appeared leading him to Martin, if he kills martin (like martin asked) he heals his trauma. Now you can basically map out every character's trauma and solution to that trauma. The phone? The call from Thomas, Jim is ready to heal, so the boy in white and his tree will appear soon, and give him the chance to heal.

[@lexiedovahkiin]

I like this. It flips the narrative.

[@MF-ty2zn]

Sara, Julie, Victor, and Tabitha went through trees. They're not cured. Boyd isn't cured. He has PTSD.

[@LahMoo-zn6nn]

So the monster Killing Kenny’s parent is helping him heal?

[@Father_Daniel]

Fantastic ep again! Boyd in the barn and Kenny calling for his mom crushed me! I can't wait to find more info from Henry. "Thomas" on the phone was insane!! I've been obsessed with Thomas and BIW, I feel there is a connection between them somehow (rewatch s1 ep4) I also have a theory that we'll find out Victors mom lost a child too and that's why he saw the BIW also.

[@LloydsSky9]

Jeremy... That tid bit about trapping them with the talisman is exactly what they probably will do. Spread that message, bro!

[@Makidah1]

I really hadn't thought about the king in yellow. Both stories are very similar. I think you have a very good point! Dear Boyd, please don't lose your sons! These demons don't seem to like families. I don't want Boyd to lose either of his sons. that being Ellis and Kenny. Boyd's shoulders and heart is strong enough to father them both. ❤❤❤

[@JeremyIceAndFire33]

Yea Boyd really stepped up for Kenny in ep 2.

[@wildmarjoramdieselpunk6396]

Every time I see the crows flying around, I think of the movie, The Endless. The birds were flying in a way that conveyed a border to a strange place. It would be a great movie to show during your horror movie run, the movie is From adjacent. I feel the movie about a dummy, Magic, would be adjacent to From too!

[@SandraMwambenu]

I think the talisman can't keep the monsters locked up... remember the time Kenny's mom and boyd locked the ban with the talisman to protect them from the monsters... but unfortunately they were already inside, so I think the talisman can't keep the monsters locked inside coz how did the monsters leave the next morning jade arrived??....

[@JeremyIceAndFire33]

@SandraMwambenu the monsters were able to leave because the talismans don't work if the monsters are already inside, but if someone managed to get a monster inside the barn or another enclosed space & hang a talismans up on the outside wall where they can't reach it, that could potentially be worth trying.

I wonder if there is a direct link with drugs and these visions. Henry said he and their mom were hippies and did drugs one last time, then she starts having these visions. We know Jade likes to do different recreational drugs, even before getting to the town. Maybe it creates an opening certain entities can take advantage of.

[@JeremyIceAndFire33]

YES! We were discussing this exact topic in the Discord, it seems like an altered state of consciousness is definitely playing some kind of role in inducing some of these visions ppl are having. Miranda, Tabitha, Jade, Ethan, Elgin, Khatri, all were in some kind of altered state of consciousness upon entering FROMVILLE, either high or asleep, & they've all seen or heard weird things since. We're starting to notice a pattern

The man in yellow could be Henry. He wears very yellowish clothing, the couch is the same pattern and shades, and even his home is a lot of heavy yellows. This could be a trick to lead him back to Victor. Hide in plain sight. These people are all pawns in a larger deal. It all seems controlled. Victor never mentions his father if I recall, just his Mom and sister.

[@wise_one45]

I think instead of going down the rabbit hole, it is safe to say those things feed of fear not hope. Why they do things in a manner that just make people be in constant fear for the lives. Now as for the hope part i think boyd is the only one with it, everyone else follow its lead so maybe why those things dont touch him cause they know that.

[@malayacarey69]

I think so too. which is why they keep tyring to "break" him. as long as boyd is alive and hopeful, the monsters can't exactly "win"

@upyursmofo yea I agree, I feel like we have a special little Fandom here that are very dedicated to this series. Part of me likes that's it's not crazy big yet.

[@TR-km7rr]

I think Jade is chosen by the evil entity and Tabitha is chosen by the good entity. The place seems like a force between good and evil, where the boy in white is the good and the man in yellow is the evil? Christopher was chosen and saw the same symbol Jade sees but Victor said that Christopher ended up being evil and was somehow involved in the death of all those people on the streets. Maybe the boy in white chose Tabitha to save the children and the man in yellow chose Jade to eventually prevent the children from being freed- most of people/symbols Jade sees seems to be evil, whereas Tabitha sees the good- the boy in white and the innocence of the children. Also remember Sarah said in episode 1 that the boy in white isn’t actually a boy, and the painting in the basement does show him to be more of a man in white than a boy

[@frogworldyt]

waynefishing9324 stated that "The man in yellow is the Ventriloquist." That got me thinking that the man is yellow is the voice that Jim heard on the radio when Tabitha was digging in the basement, and now the phone call... from Thomas. A ventriloquist is defined as a performer who can make their voice seem to come from a different place. Also, this makes me believe the man in yellow also controls other forms of radio waves in "Fromville," possibly the Jukebox in the diner as well.

[@natalist8391]

The man in yellow could be Martin,looks like younger version of him.

[@sankalp6872]

Another 11/10 episode. The show has been so good at building tensions that we don't really mind its slow pace. I think the evolution of Jade was the highlight of this episode. The Tabitha storyline is going fine although. I expected her to pair up on a quest but with Victor's sister not father. That makes me wonder what happened to Victor's sister?

If the talisman could trap them in a building they wouldn't have been able to get out of the barn so that's busted.

[@JeremyIceAndFire33]

Not necessarily, the talisman didn't work in the barn because the monsters were already on the inside with it, they easily could've just knocked it off the wall like they usually do when they get inside a space. But if they were to get a monster in the barn or another enclosed space & hang the talisman up on the outside wall where the monsters wouldn't be able to just knock it down, that might potentially work

[@lexiedovahkiin]

Your theory about Jade being chosen seems sound. He arrived at the same time as Tabitha, so what if two chosen ones came into town at once?. Victor said bad things happen when two vehicles arrive together. But only human error has caused the bad situations. Did Tabitha leaving do something to the town? Is it possible she will return in that ambulance after the crash she has with Henry?

As far as the phone call goes I think it is manipulation of the place where they are. I think just like it wasn’t Thomas it also wasn’t Tabitha’s Mother on the phone when she called her. It’s all some type of recordings used by the people controlling the circumstances.

I think too much is being read into that painting of the guy in yellow. I think its just a shout out to admitted FROM fan Stephen King...a nod to his short story Low Men in Yellow Coats.

You know...that whole idea of an eternal cycle of death and suffering that is doomed to repeat until someone discovers the key to finally end it.

[@BigDago56]

Well when we look at the rest of the paintings in that basement, just about all of them are things we've seen in the show.
