[@allthescraps5338]

I liked this season, it's different for sure but it was still good. I think in general everyone is getting a little spoiled off of shows handing out answers so quick and easy. This season did answer a lot of questions, the main one being are they in a time loop. Perry and little Royal proved that not to be true. "The future's not set!" That opens up so many possibilities that I'm excited to see. If the show turns out like Lost I'll eat my words, but I'm happy with Season 2.

But Perry was in time line 1960s, then jumped to the nte of the killing.. How tf did he do that? That was a stupid imo, at least show how he can decide what time line to be in, show how he works the hole to his choosen like that.. Maybe we find out later.. I doubt it tho

MULTIVERSE!!!!!!!!! Has to be

[@JCasR3]

I think Joy and Perry subconsciously navigated their way through the hole. If you consider their biggest desires. Joy to not lose herself in the process of becoming sheriff. So she reconnected with her ancestors, and Perry wanting to correct his past mistakes.

[@johnv4179]

I like this idea, but it doesn’t explain why young Royal ended up in a particular year after shooting his dad. I get that he just. “Wanted to escape”, but why the 1980’s versus any other time?

[@armandotorres9776]

Yeah but why or how Perry Was able to travel to two different time-lines Instead of going to the original When PERRY killed TREVOR he didn't travel he just appeared dead So PERRY will apear dead and alive in that time line he has to go back anyway😅

[@Fruity_Looopy]

I loved this season. It did a great job with Perry’s storyline and how he ended up in a reality where he could live as if he didn’t murder one of the brothers. I enjoyed autumn this season when she wasn’t on the meds but once she took the mineral and kidnapped Amy, throwing her into the hole- now truly putting her future into effect. The show is doing a great job edging us on before giving us real answers. I also love that the whole family now knows about everything

Season 2 wasn't DARK-level like a lot of people wanted, personally I love being edged with sci-fi plotholes as many episodes as possible before all the answers drop. I loved every episode of it, especially the psychedelic implications of viewing time as non-linear

[@BlitzinMackGaming]

I enjoyed it as well, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't somewhat disappointed that we didn't really learn much more about the hole than we learned from season 1.

[@RichSmithson]

What wasn't Dark about Perry accidentally getting his past self killed and then throwing his own body in the void?

[@vcmulder]

I am in the same boat. There are many open plot holes to fill and I hope they get there before the show gets canceled (I don't want another 1899, please!). I wanted this to be Dark in Wyoming but I am not convinced the writers know where this is going, at least based on what they've shown us so far. Dark S2 had many more things clarified for the viewers. The whole alternate Perry universe thing threw me for a loop, not sure I like it but I'll wait until we see more. Now the long wait...

[@xuxon24]

​@@vcmulder I have no hopes this will get another season. This season felt like a mess.

I liked S2 more then S1. Biggest gripe with S1 was everyone trying to keep secrets from each other, and it felt like the plot was kinda stalling because the main character didn't want to talk about the void with anyone. But that's all gone now finally.

[@kskisser]

Where Amy woke up is a different location meaning there is more than one hole. Also, why did Royal get his memories of Joy from the past but didn't know that Perry was in their past together?

[@LtCatscratch]

could be they need to be interacting to trigger the memories.

[@Lou_Chandler]

New Perry timeline Royal knows. See the look he gives him

[@101RadioheadCovers]

What makes you think it's a different location? I assume it's the same area in the 00s, some rich barren back packers adopt the orphan Amy. Likely we'll find out that they are camping on the land with a younger Royal's permission. This is why Autumn later returns to the ranch in S01E01 and knows to ask for Royal Abbott.

[@DadeMurphie]

We already knew there was likely many different holes that have come and gone based on Luke's digging and that scene where someone shot a bullet into the ground.

[@malalford]

This was a great season. There is definately some multiverse madness goings on. August forcing the cult aspect seems like a possibility rather than the actual future like how the singing brother KNEW his brother couldn't beat him, right before he does.

[@6stringstandard136]

You get the idea it's a multi-verse when Wayne Tillerson was miraculously cured of his stroke/coma.

[@TigerLily61811]

Or perhaps stepping into time has ramifications. The original timeline Royal shoots his father in a hunting accident. And perhaps that is what originally happened. But when Joy travels back and takes the action to rescue Flower, she changes the course of events that happen that day for Royal and his father. They do something different now because of her being there - instead of going hunting, they are tracking Joy. So it makes me wonder if it's a multi-verse or simply an adjustment to the timeline. Perhaps Wayne wasn't "cured", but more something changed in the timeline so that Wayne never ends up having a stroke, or the one he had was very mild. I can't imagine that 1985 Royal wouldn't remember meeting his own son.

[@stuartbagley2586]

[@filmbuff-dh9kb]

I loved both seasons, it’s one of my favorite series. Great cast, good directors/cinematographers, good music. I just think it was a short season & didn’t connect with Royal’s vision in S1. I’m hoping it’s not just another multiverse series…judging by how Royal started to remember both versions of killing his father, they may not go that route and try to connect all variations which will make it interesting.

[@MP-tj5xv]

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Not a multiverse, because, not only Royals started to have memories, but also Wayne, of his encounters with Perry, BEFORE taking the mineral.

[@evansonhakeem]

For the love of God if people don't stop coming on here to give a low review because the show isn't like Yellowstone. I need to see what direction they are going to take this show. I am deeply engaged in this storyline and if a truly original show with so many places it can go ends up getting cancelled early because people don't like having to think and guess at what could be going on, I am going to lose my mind. If you want to watch fake cowboy soap operas you can find them other places. If you'd like to engage your mind and follow the intrigue and unravel the mystery that is time and existence alongside the cool as hell scenery of Wyoming and the great cast this show has then watch this show and recommend it to other people, and leave some good reviews. We need to reward studios for making thought provoking original shows. Don't let us slide further into the shallow content dystopia.

[@Khan-ig5rx]

I was on the fence with season 1, but season 2 really made me love this show. It's weird and crazy but has the potential to be incredible as a time travel story if they develop the rest of it well enough. They even threw in the bootstrap paradox with Automne's name coming from a loop in time with no real origin.

[@paulytetris8306]

the Trevor that died in season one is the Trevor that was running away from both of the Perry’s in the season 2 alternate reality, the Trevor that Royal threw in the hole is very much alive somewhere, remember even the coroner confirmed that Trevor was only dead for hours, not for days and the cause of death was different.

[@lubaniskie]

I feel like the billboard "America wants you to believe that the only things worth knowing are those that can be known. America is wrong." perfectly fits the nature of the show and offers an answer to why it may feel like they aren't trying to plate up for the viewer direct whys and hows. I feel like for the most part, that's the theme of the show. Unlike season one where everything was a secret, this season made an effort to ensure that all the key characters either opened up, shared long kept secrets, shared their burdens, had revelations and tried some version of honesty and truth seeking - something i feel like is meant to either be a direct contrast to the mysterious nature of the hole which season 1 encapsulated thematically (secrets and mysterious characters) or it's setting our characters for failure in season 3, where all their honesty, openness and trying to do the right thing proves fruitless and pointless, maybe implying that, much like the ambiguous nature of the hole, there is no one direction or result for any effort - sometimes things just are, sometimes things just happen, fate is fate and no one, no intention, no effort and no reason can alter nature or the future (the unknown). There's a lot of focus in the first half of the season concerning a lose of faith and whittling away of the expectation that the trustworthiness of a name, all the effort the Abbots put into being good people in their community, "being salt of the earth" would result in being offered a helping hand when they need it most. The spiral Cecilia experience as everything turns against her and she feels the potential of losing her home (both family farm and family), the community instead talking behind their back, family bank refusing them a loan, the judge conspiring against them and showing no leniency. . . I feel like this portion strongly sets up the idea that effort is for naught; what we believe, what we think we know should happen, and what ends up happening are two opposing things. I feel like it wouldn't be a stretch to say some of the show's overall theme is: surrender to the idea that the most we can ever know for sure is knowing we merely hope and think.

[@finn-thehuman-mertens]

This show focus very much on the psychological impact and trauma they experience

[@BlitzinMackGaming]

The past can be changed. It's not a different timeline or him remembering wrong. That's why he started getting hit with memories of when he was a kid all of a sudden. It was the sherrif changine the past.

[@DadeMurphie]

Why didn't he remember spending weeks with Perry as a young man? We don't know if it's a malleable timeline or if branching.

[@BlitzinMackGaming]

@DadeMurphie It seems as though the memory change doesn't happen until the person who changed the past comes back through the hole, as Royal didn't have the memory flashes until he took Joy to the hospital. As far as Royal not having memories of his past, I think he very well may have those memories, and we just haven't been explicitly shown yet. But if you notice in the finale, he gives his son a very strange look, as though he's aware that his son went through the hole. The fact of the matter is we have evidence of a single timeline that can be changed, and zero of branched timelines that can't be changed.

[@DadeMurphie]

@@BlitzinMackGaming I think the show is leaning towards a single changeable timeline but we haven't been given enough to say for sure because they've left it open to interpretation. I was unsure if his memories were actually changing in that scene with Joy. It seemed like he was imagining her version but rejecting it due to the memory he still held of missing a deer. Your theory does make some sense and I think might be confirmed if Perry returns to his actual timeline and things are different.

[@BlitzinMackGaming]

@DadeMurphie I agree with you. I should have been clearer. I should have said we haven't seen anything that tells us for sure, but the little we have seen points toward a single timeline more so than multiple timelines. Personally, I'd love for it to end up being parallel worlds/multiple timelines as that is more fun, if you ask me. Right now, I'm just hoping we even get to see a season 3.

I am convinced that some big plotholes are there for a reason, to make the ultimate twist huge... That said i hope the writers of this story have allready written it out so far so that amazon prime doesn't have to think twice about renewing the series for a third season. I hope they are not cancelling it after some people demanding too many awnsers to questions that can't be awnserd in a few episodes, like your usual netflix series these days... I really liked this season, more than the first, because the whole main thing in this story wasn't clear in the first one. Now we know that it's about time travel and i'm all in for that! Thanks for this explanation as always my dude!!!

[@bonitaglover]

Also what the hell is the musical score this season.

[@xuxon24]

I like the premise of the show but I keep thinking that they don't know what they are doing and just wrote themselves into a hole. This season just felt incomplete, a lot of plot points going to nowhere that are just going to frustrate people. In two seasons they haven't really done or explained a lot just people finding out about the whole jumping into it and coming out in another period. Some things might be on the same timeline others just aren't for some reason it's just a mess. I knew many people that bailed on the first season and after watching this season I feel many will do aswell. This just feels like a network TV show that it's dragging it's feet to reached a point.

Yup, and will likely be cancelled. This will be like Raised by Wolves just a bunch of unanswered mysteries.

I just feel like they're trying to rick and morty really hard this show at this point. It was cool at first seeing how it was all western and then suddenly we see the hole but the fact that they abandoned the whole western theme to make this some rick and morty/back to the future wannabe show is what really turned me off. The time traveling is what really ruined it for me, from royal being from the past to Perry and joy time traveling as well. Not to mention Wayne time traveled too and now amy. Now they implemented different timelines/dimensions with Perry going back trying to fix his mistake, and now he's living in a fake reality. And now autumn is alive even tho she was the one that got shot not Amy and yet she gets to come back alive bc Amy went through the hole? This show tries too hard to be mysterious and confusing

[@jake_edinburgh]

Outer range is crazy. Nothing makes sense yet but you just have faith that everything will wrap around in a nice bow

[@TigerLily61811]

One thing I noticed about all the travelers - they all seem to initially go to a time that is clear of their original lifetime. Royal goes 80+ years it not he future, Joy goes 120 years into the past / falling star goes 90 years into he past. Perry goes back to the 80's before he is born. Autumn (Amy) goes back about 15 years before Amy is born. As for the season... meh. Joy's travel was the most interesting / engaging thing that happened. I'm getting pretty weary of Autumn being a wacko running around all "I know best I know the future" but they don't' give us the audience anything that particularly deepens or furthers the story. We saw crazy cult Autumn flashes in S1. At least Royal is willing to talk to people now. So that's progress. But when they come out with S3 a year or two from now I'm not going to remember all this subtle back and forth. I think that was my biggest issue - there were 2 years between S1 and S2 and if they expect us to remember everything or go back and rewatch it all ... maybe I will just wait til they are all completely finished to binge it all at once.

I enjoyed Season 2 but worry that there are so many loose ends and unanswered questions that we won't see things wrap up in a 3rd season.

I hope not.

[@vimal-cliobconsulting]

How come Perry Abbott is alive, when he killed his past self? Shouldn't he disappear too, given that all the timelines are merging into one without creating another timelines?

[@MrMinionMoney]

That's exactly what I was thinking if you die in the past shouldn't that affect his future self.

[@southfork67]

Exactly. All through the series I had the feeling the writers would back themselves into a time paradox with someone and they did it with Perry meeting himself the night he would have hilled Trevor.

[@glizzymcguire4849]

“Multiverse” is the laziest writing crutch there is. A “multiverse” possibly exists but everything that happens is the result of a causal loop. Autumn’s name is a bootstrap paradox. Modern Royal doesn’t remember meeting Perry decades ago. Royal doesn’t remember meeting Joy but Joy caused him to jump in the hole. This show isn’t making any sense.

[@phyxiuss]

I'm not finishing this show until it's completed. And that's if it doesn't get cancelled. I enjoy this show but it's so frustrating as we barely get any answers. 2 seasons in and it's just "the beginning"

[@ShootyBazooky]

Weird take. Am I the only one that saw the entire Autumn/Amy storyline get completed? I mean that was maybe the biggest mystery going and it was completed.

[@yjp6684]

It's safe to say that there are 2 timelines in the show. The original timeline is when Royal shoots his dad by accident, which is the same timeline that Joy altered when she asked young Royal for help. Now, Royal has the memories of the events of the new past. It's also the same timeline where Perry jumps into the hole. The second timeline is also when Royal shoots his father by accident, but this time Joy has not followed the path (or maybe not yet). It's just Perry coming back while his alternate self is killed in the fight. But for me personally, I would not be surprise if there was only one main timeline where different events are all occurring in different point in time. Past, Present, and Future with one altering each other. The characters' memories are just not yet in sync with all the events that had occurred.

[@justinbeck7850]

I like the multiverse/multi-dimensional angle. It opens it up to every possible outcome and if one is not satisfied with their life in one they can try another. In fact, we are probably experiencing that in reality ourselves, only we only access it through dreams and visions. Of course, if the black stuff could transport one to another dimension then for sure there would be a reason to harvest it, use it, and ultimately make a business out of it. That is the American way, after all.

What would happen if we threw the entire series into that hole? When a series doesn't allow us to connect (or bring to fruition) some ideas with the overall plot we have nothing with which to hang our speculations on. We just get more questions with the 2nd season. To be quite frank when there are hundreds of possible common threads we are left with the knowledge we have NO idea what this story is about or is supposed to be about. I can only speculate that as Outer Space conjures the thoughts of the unknown, cold and vastness of space, so too is Outer Range. We know very little of space and likewise we know and/or remember very little of our own past or our journey as a species to arrive here in the present.

This show reminds me so much of what Lost creator J.J. Abrams said in a TED Talk about "The Mystery Box" - the philosophy behind his writing in Lost and other projects. When there are too many Mystery Boxes though, I start to feel like the plot is making a fool out of me by expecting me to follow so many mysterious elements that often turn out to be red herrings.

[@JosianeGeorges]

The lack of any answers this season is a bad sign. There were some cool moments during the season, though. I got the sense that Royal's memory/history reset when he interacted with Joy after she returned from the past. And Wayne connecting to his younger self across time was interesting. But a few cool moments isn't enough. It may already be too late to establish the world and it's rules properly. What a waste.

[@johnjenkins9445]

hmm.. i hope you are proved wrong :)

Biggest questions for season 3 are: - Where/when did Amy travel to? Obviously the future based off the limited glimpse we get but how far forward? - Where tf does Wayne go after jumping in?? - Are there now branches of time with different timelines due to Perry's decisions of not killing the Tillerson brother in the parking lot? Where did his dead body end up after he threw "himself" in the hole? - Will this be a 3 or 4 season affair overall? I ask this question because I believe it's absolutely pertinent for the show to be renewed. 3 Seasons seems like a perfect amount of investment a studio like Amazon wants to put into it's material. I hope that they are able to advance the story to the ultimate scene where Royal confronts the large government presence around the hole they tease in the first episode and second to last episode of this season. That very short scene has kept us all on edge the whole show! I am hoping that since they have that ending in mind, Amazon gives them the go ahead to conclude the story and not leave us all hanging in limbo.

It wasn't all that bad. cmon guys.

[@nospoon4799]

Yes, it was. It is stupid. It's not even artistic trash.

[@19731213]

That was boring.

[@tomasgomez1906]

Oh it absolutely was

[@ShootyBazooky]

This show is insane. I was hoping, after we saw Trevor NOT DIE that we'd find out how he ended up in the woods on the Abbot's property. I wonder what ends up killing him there.

[@ericvalentin8466]

Seems like this is the American version of dark . That ended after three seasons and wrapped up very beautiful I love that story. This seems like it's going to go on to ever until it gets canceled and never really answer any questions

[@jarodsimpson9497]

Thought the first 5 episodes were really strong, but then when the climax ramped up in the last two, I found myself more confused than captivated.

[@fergavicious1]

My biggest frustration is that it has to be multiverses otherwise Royal would've remembered seeing Perry in 1984 I mean it would've been only 30 years prior or so and so would have Wayne, also when Autumn tries to call her adoptive mom or family the numbers do not work - even though presumptively she grew up in the current timeline from when Amy arrived not remembering anything. I mean it's either multiverses or just a bad time travel whoopsie that the showrunners don't care about. I was confused on why Amy wouldn't remember Rebecca before the visions but now I see that it wasn't Rebecca who raised her. It is frustrating to not get one single answer to anything lol

[@TheRodlund]

It was hard to enjoy watching, just spinning it's wheels a lot it seemed. The whole time I watched I just kept thinking "Why don't I just rewatch Dark"

[@InnaSpace777]

The Royal in the new perry timline definitely gotta know perrys secret. But hey , for all we know, this was probably a timeline where the Abbotts WIN

[@danielmarquez4935]

I couldn’t get past episode one season two which is why I searched this up on KZbin super frustrating and stupid…. Thanks for the explanation.

[@hermanlane9846]

I think some people are good with not getting answers on some shows and are ok with pondering the mysteries. I thoroughly enjoy this as it is quite reflective of life. It also reminds me of The Leftovers. It works in my opinion for this show. Of course there are some shows I don’t think it works for. lost is one of those shows where leaving too much to mystery did nto work and was utterly frustrating. I think it’s also about which components are being left to mystery and which are not.

[@llywyllngryffyn8053]

I think Autumn 'Died' because her younger self was 'in transit' so she had no past. Once Amy arrived, her timeline was renewed and she could exist again. I think Royal started having a heart attack because of Perry changing the past. He had two converging timelines. One where Perry didn't arrive in 1981 and another when he did. Once that convergence had occurred, he woke up, relatively OK. I think S2 was better than S1 overall, but there are still a bunch of things that annoy the hell out of me.

[@johnv4179]

Did you notice in the scene when Autumn writes on the walls with a marker that she grabs Royal’s face and…nothing happens…no time shift…no spinning stars. I love this show but have a feeling the inconsistencies will be like the “black goo” in the Aliens franchise: no logical continuity to the point where the audience just doesn’t care because it feels random.

[@steveoh9285]

No Season 3, it was announced on July 3 that the show was cancelled.

[@aejazali2714]

Can someone please explain me how joy time traveled in past without jumping in Hole?

[@michaellalli7693]

I thought the whole Joy story in season was the best part. The rest of it was just Autumn raising hell.

[@jamesflint9639]

I absolutely adore this show, a real sleeper hit that I hope more people watch. We need a season 3 at least to wrap things up, The show is really great at accelerating the story at a good speed through it's episodes so one season could do it, Biggest thing is they need to avoid creating too many more questions and focus on answering the many current ones and I can't wait☺️

[@Bheman745]

After last episode of season 2 , I looked to my wife but said nothing. Needed a moment to process the last 15 or so minutes. Well, it's next morning and we're still trying to figure this out. Putting the storyline aside for just a moment, I am so enthralled by the acting and how so much emotion is shown by the look on their faces without a word said aloud.

[@highonfire885]

I love this show ! It’s great 👍 please please please season 3 to wrap it up ! It was a step in the right direction for sure !

[@brianlb78]

I kind of feel like this is going the way of that show Lost. Like maybe they don't even have an idea what they want to do with this show and are just winging it because none of it makes sense and eventually they'll start to lose audience and just half ass the end.

[@OKIEBUD]

Watched both seasons something kept telling me it was going to get evil… but just got more unpredictable instead…. Can’t wait for a new season.

[@josephna4403]

Its definitely a mindbender, and well acted too. I hope this won't be another "Lost" Series wh a Final Episode requiring an Acid Trip to comprehend.😮

[@vincentallanson155]

I don’t think it’s a multiverse as much as they’re rewriting/changing time. Joy injecting herself into the timeline just ended up having Royal shoot his dad a different way.

[@jaimemunoz5920]

I have yet to watch season 2. I don't know season one was okay but then season 2 came around and I'm just going to wait to see if it gets renewed for season 3 before I watch season 2 that way I don't waste any time.

[@nutricartel]

It’s good just introduced way to much and now with multiple timelines it kinda makes the impact of everything not as big

[@brandonmiller374]

You said "flash forward" in your explanation, made me think of the Sci Fi series Flash Forward. I wanted to like that and I want to like Outer Range but not totally there. I'm not big into Sci Fi and liked things to be neatly put in it's box, probably the main problem. The show is ok, unfortunately I would probably watch season 3, think I'm committed at this point.

[@Soulcritic]

We have a story, events in a chronological. We have a time hole. Charactures went into the time hole. We don't know what effect their trip in the time hole had on their memory. He do know that Perry killed Trevor. Perry took a trip in the time hole & got out stopped himself from killing Trevor & Perry got himself killed for his good deed. Perry threw his dead body in the time hole. Season 3 could re-tell the same story started in season 1 & see how the charactures trips to the time hole affect the outcome of the story. Or they could continued the story. Patty still knows about the mineral. In terms of memory both Perry & Joy remember. Perry changing events would that be a re-tell or a re shuffle & continue. That's if there will be a season 3. Season 2 only explained Autum. The time hole or river of time is just there, because it hasn't been studied yet.

[@Soussdagoose]

I wonder if Perry is now in a different reality (where Amy is safe) and if he will collide with the new arrival, Wayne Tillerson. 🤔

[@snakey973]

I think its a fantastic show- you have to live in the questions and hope there will be a satisfactory resolution

[@timm1328]

this series was first relased in the aftermath of the wildly successful Netflix series “Dark” so I expect it will follow That series moreor less through a convoluted multiversal temporal trek and wind up erasing itself by preventing Royal from killing his father.

[@jackedbyjade]

I binge watch both seasons. This show was epic

[@Handle35667]

Season 2 moved nothing forward. The sheriff joy “plotline” could have been completely removed and nothing changes. The whole season was a waste of time.

[@WaKey_WaKey456]

I LOVE season 2!!!! I’ll be anxiously awaiting season 3 😬😩

[@mannyrosado9887]

Both seasons were decent. There are plenty of strings to pull and ways the director can go with the show, and that would determine whether season 2 was good, amazing, or a nothing burger. The only thing I can really be thankful with the end of S2 is that we no longer have to tolerate the over the top scenes with Billy!

[@todgerx]

Yeah, and now the show is fucking canceled.. Wtf.. Not much point in us getting invested in TV series any more..

[@davidmay9138]

All episodes have captured my interest and I look forward to some additional clarity or finality if there's a season 3 ever made. I'd rather they didn't draw it out with extraneous horse manure for another 6-7 episodes, but if the show makes any money this season, the cash cow could open up the " hole" once more.

[@RE-jb2ke]

This show reminds me of the last few seasons of GoT. Nothing was making sense but I just ‘knew’ that everything was going to be tied up at the end in an epic way and it would all make sense. We all know how that turned out.

[@bjmcmahon722]

It's going to happen here as well....

[@s.r.h.3554]

If Amy woke up in an earlier timeframe and lived to become grown autumn then searching for the abbot ranch wouldn’t that just circle her back around to where we meet her in season one? How does her future happen?

[@DadeMurphie]

Yes that's exactly what happened it's a time loop. Why are you confused about the future? The easy answer is she survives the gunshot wound and goes on to form her cult.

[@s.r.h.3554]

@@DadeMurphie it just seems like there would be a version of her that keeps going around in a circle and a version of her that continues on to the future. If autumn we meet in season one has to get little Amy into the hole, Amy goes back and grows up then strolls up onto the Abbott ranch she will then have to find Amy then throw her in the hole, Amy goes back in time, so on and so on.

[@DadeMurphie]

@@s.r.h.3554 huh? She didn't fall into the hole as Autumn. Amy fell in and went back 14 years or so and will become Autumn who arrives one day and ends up pushing Amy down the hole again. Amy's future is to become Autumn as and adult. Adult Autumn future is recovering from the gun shot then starting her cult. Unless they show that time can be changed the loop will exist infinitely. There are a few ways they can go with breaking the loop but currently as presented there is no issue with the future. The mind bending part about a timeloop is that there can't be a first time it has to have always existed infinitely otherwise you hit paradoxes.

[@s.r.h.3554]

@@DadeMurphie I felt it was like a bootstrap or grandfather paradox. The part you said about there can’t be a first time it has just always existed feels right to me.

[@DadeMurphie]

@@s.r.h.3554 yes the initial start is a paradox and being able to change the past presents more problems. What I don't think we can say for sure yet is how they are dealing with changes in the past. From the little they gave us I can see an argument that there are branching timelines and I can see an argument that it's just one timeline that can be changed. I'm not sure what's going on with Royals memories. Were his memories of killing his father changing? That look Royal has when replacement Perry arrives seemed to communicate he knew something like he remembered Perry showing up in his youth but the main Royal we were watching the whole series doesn't seem to have any memories of Perry showing up in his youth. Does it take time to adapt to the timeine and reform corrected memories or are these different Royals? Wayne Tillerson remembering beating Perry in his youth suggests it's a single timeline but maybe that mineral is connecting him to branched ones. I hope there is some resolution in a third season and they don't just end it here with so much unresolved.

[@JaneDoesMind]

Yes! They gave us almost nothing this season to wrap our heads around. My fingers are crossed that they'll tie just enough things up in season 3 to keep us holding on. We don't want another Westworld or GoT's on our hands. Please don't let us down writers!

[@cleopatrademers2395]

Okay, so far l was kinda following this but what l don't understand is how Autumn came onto the scene with an agenda and was hell bent on destroying Royal (my impression) when she is an older Amy and is his granddaughter? Also time travel going into the future and the past, l get, but is it possible to have two separate people (Amy and Autumn) as the same person in one time frame??? That is what's confusing to me.

[@ttpp374]

I think the writers shouldve had perry die in the past. Young royal wouldve been crushed while young cece would've been indifferent which is how theyre introduced to us when young royal had to kill the cow. Future royal would know perrys fate the entire show and we couldve got a great scene of him explaining to cece the man that died in the past was perry

[@shulenabryant9095]

This season reminds me of the Netflix show “Dark”
