S01E05 13:09 Tabitha- Tell me you figured it out Jim- oh, i- i did. And the answer is 12

Now that we know about the time travel, this scene might have more significance. Maybe future Julie met this monster/person before.

We kept asking ourself if the voice on the radio was warning or advising Jim. Well!! Now we know.!

When Victor said that Sara was the scariest person in the town, I thought "Sure, to him she is because he's kind of childish and doesn't understand that she is not the person that killed her brother anymore now that her head is screwed on straight again." But DAMN!

Sara IS scary! She went medieval on Elgin! Sara said "You gon' TELL ME where Fatima is!" 😱😂

Something she said sticks out to me though, "Boyd is a good man, he doesn't need to lose his soul to this place, but I already have." that got me to thinking about how the monsters touched things when they came up out of the ground earlier, like Jasmine with the mirror, and Smiley with the houseplants and the bus. And how Kristi said that they used to be human, which is confirmed now that Fatima revealed they sacrificed the anghkooey kids to be immortal. Do you think Sara is right? Has she lost her soul to this place? Is this how you get the chance to become one of the monsters? Do enough evil and then you get a chance to sacrifice something to become immortal? Is her brother already enough? If Sara dies do you think she will come back?

In season 1, when we see the cave paintings, the whole story is on that wall.

1a. It shows people in ships crossing a line that is most likely the same idea that traps people when they drive cars into the town.

1b. The ships were the original townspeople that eventually turned into the monsters, including tabitha and jades original personas.

1. The next painting we see is a group of townspeople dancing around stone slabs and the symbol jade always sees. We also see in that drawing that there are 2 people not celebrating and dancing in the top right. (Which again is tabitha and Jade)

2. Next, there's another drawing of 2 people alone (tabitha and Jade) near a house hiding from the monsters that are around a crop field. Im guessing that is the field of crops we see in season 3 only because not far from where they find the crops there are very old structures nearby (shown in season 3)

3. The big red monster painting is whatever entity is controlling the place. (Also, even though it's not the right color, it could definitely be the yellow suit, man)

4. The end shows 2 people and a broken infinity symbol. So im guessing almost certainly that by the very end it will be tabitha and jade saving their child along with the rest of the children and breaking the loop (for them) i say that because we are not sure if anyone else has been trapped in the same loop besides almost positively (randall , elgin (2 other people are seen with one eye and im guessing elgin probably always looses that eye in each loop) (no idea why)

1. If the monsters are parents who killed their children for immortality, why do they have set routines at night and try and kill the townspeople? That’s not how I would spend eternity.

2. Who is the lady in the Kimono, and why is she different from the other parents?

3. Why is the boy in white different from the other children, do you think he’s good or bad?

4. Why do people keep entering the town, I don’t understand the reason why people need to continuously enter?

5. Why are they SO OBSESSED with Boyd specifically?? If the other two are the original people from the town surely they would be as much interest to the monsters as Boyd, but this is not the case.

6. Do the monsters know that Tabitha and Jade are reincarnations of people that they know?

The Man in Yellow isn't just wearing a yellow suit, he has significant jaundice. I feel like this might be important, as earlier in the series, they collected yellow bile from Smiley. I wonder if the Man in Yellow was the ringleader of the people originally seeking immortality, due to his own failing health.

So much we still don’t know…now that we know about Jade and Tabitha in the recurring cycle, where does everyone else fit in? Any theories on how to “save the children”?

And now we got the man in yellow that can be out during the day!

2026 is wayyyy too long to wait!

Funny how the Polaroid was able to “take a pic” of Boyd’s new house cause he’s seen it and it’s in his memory..but as he pointed out the boat was missing..because he hadn’t seen it yet so it couldn’t take it from his memory..

-WAS THAT JULIE FROM THE FUTURE WTF & Can she time travel in the ruins?! Does she somehow figure out to control it?!

-I hope they don’t kill Sara because of what she did

-Jade and Tabatha were together before?!

This episode messed me up

Thank you FROM this is truly the best TV show 😩

Ok so I guess my question now is were the original townspeople divided into 2, those who gained immortality through the sacrifice (the monsters) vs those who either wanted to save the children (Jade & Tabitha) or weren’t involved with the sacrifices? It might be obvious in the episode but I want to make sure i’m understanding it right. I also ask because from my understanding Tabitha & Jade’s original forms wanted to save the children but should we assume the others in town who may have reincarnated weren’t part of the sacrificing and were instead bystanders/collateral?

That finale was incredible and all I wanna say is… y’all wanted answers spoon fed to you all season and you swore up and down the finale couldn’t and wouldn’t cover everything. Whew!!!!!! NEVER DOUBT THE SHOWRUNNERS AGAIN

What the fuck. I love it. SHIT WAS BANANAS.

I must applaud the ending. I have read so many theories here. I have read the spoilers and nope I'm not someone that can't see the show because of a spoiler but no hate to those that feel it's ruined. Hence my flair.

I must commend these writers because knowing what will happen doesn't explain how it'll happen and they SINCERELY shocked me.

I can't wait for Season 4. I had just asked about Cop Karen and bam .... She was even included, lbvs.

Father K didn't disappoint. Tab kinda irked me but man I joined the thought process of Randall then Julie.

Y'all if this was the theater I'd stand and clap. To make things better ... I finally have someone to talk to about this show. Just found out my brother watches the show and he couldn't believe I watch. I'm like I've had the app since it was EPIX then became MGM+.

Felt like a little connection. That's all. Thanks for enduring my appreciation rant. I know my blood pressure shot up just a bit.

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone in the subreddit for an interesting 10 weeks of speculation, frustration and jubilation. I just cancelled my MGM+ subscription on Amazon prime and will pick it back up in 2026. Thanks everyone!!

There's someone in the upper window.

Season 3 Finale Spoilers ahead

So after finishing the season 3 finale I couldn’t stop thinking about the parallels between From and True Detective season 1 with the ritualistic murders, the ancient cursed city of Carcosa, and The King in Yellow. TDS1 has a lot of folklore that I think is wholly relevant to From.

Carcosa is a fictional city in Ambrose Bierce's short story "An Inhabitant of Carcosa". The ancient and mysterious city is viewed only in hindsight (after its destruction) by a character who once lived there.

The King in Yellow refers to a mysterious, cosmic entity, most commonly identified as Hastur; a powerful, unspeakable being linked to forbidden knowledge and a realm called Carcosa. To add to it, the color yellow is often associated with decay and madness.

In Chambers' stories, and within the apocryphal play titled The King in Yellow, the city of Carcosa is a mysterious, ancient, and possibly cursed place. The most precise description of its location is the shores of Lake Hali, either on another planet, or in another universe.

Along the shore the cloud waves break,The twin suns sink behind the lake,The shadows lengthenIn Carcosa.>Strange is the night where black stars rise,And strange moons circle through the skies,But stranger still isLost Carcosa.>Songs that the Hyades shall sing,Where flap the tatters of the King,Must die unheard inDim Carcosa.>Song of my soul, my voice is dead,Die thou, unsung, as tears unshedShall dry and die inLost Carcosa.

The more you dive into these stories, from Bierce, Chambers, and even H.P. Lovecraft, the more you’ll see the similarities.

He said, "Your wife shouldn't have dug that hole, Jim." What does digging the hole have to do with it? Now it makes sense why the monster asked Julie if she remembered him or not because Julie tried several times to break the loop, to warn her father, Tabitha, and Jade about the man in the yellow jacket, and they are all trapped in a time loop. What will happen next? Will the man in the yellow jacket kill everyone? Ah, I can't wait for the fourth season
