I feel very teased with

Spoiler

only getting 1 minute of adult Van

I must have missed this! When did we see her?

 

[Abby lockhart]

Yep, if the baby survived she would be older than Shauna's daughter. I have a feeling that Shauna's 1996 pregnancy doesn't have a positive outcome.

Oooh interesting!

 

[Monkeybum]

I'm so glad people have now watched. I rewound as thought I'd got it wrong what was happening

 

[LittleMy]

Caught up on season 1 cause I heard season 2 was coming out and didn't realise it was weekly episodes Having binged the whole first season how am I going to survive on one ep a week?!
Also...

Spoiler: Huh?!

where'd those new/extra girls come from? Am I going mad??

Spoiler

They’re other team members. Basically they were background characters in season 1 but have been given a bigger role this season.

So do you think van believes that ‘it’ is still after them? In my head, Lottie and Taissa do. I think Shauna doesn’t. I THINK misty doesn’t, I think Natalie definitely didn’t and I’m not sure about Van. I’d have said no, but your post is making me rethink it.

This season has focused a lot on the peripheral characters, you’re right in that nobody cares and Randy, Jeff, the cops, bloody Callie. I do quite like the coach, I’d like to see what’s done with the aftermath of the fire and whether they figure it’s him or not. I hope it’s not painted as a descent into madness coz that’s the easy option isn’t it!
I quite enjoy the psychology of it all, Misty is clearly desperate to get back to what she had in the wilderness, ie the needed one. They are all haunted by it in different ways.

Whilst I think about it, I’m not really a fan of the Taissa thing, the rest is semi realistic (ish) but she gets possessed at random times? Nah mate.

 

[Restless Native]

I can't believe there was no new episode this week so I went down a theory rabbit hole...

I just watched a new episode? Maybe I'm behind

Spoiler

Shauna went into labour

 

[Veronicaaa]

The way I interpreted it, was that they are all haunted by it still. Particularly Lottie and Taissa. The others were going to get Lottie carted off for a psych evaluation, and to do that, they made out they were going with her plan for another hunt, but then van changed Taissas mind so they called off the evaluation. Natalie was obviously the target the last time so wanted to protect herself (but also warned off the other girl she’d taken a liking to, which put her on notice something was about to happen, and she’s naturally protective of Lottie). Shauna (and possibly misty and Natalie) still thought they were just going along with the original plan of making lottie think they were ready to sacrifice one of them, to prove she needed psych help.

They (Lottie/tai/van) don’t think ‘it’ will leave them alone until they give it what it wants, ie a sacrifice/death.

Oh actually I think Van was going along with it because she knew Lottie was giving 'it' a sacrifice to save her from cancer, and she was OK with that (possibly Tai too). Lottie desperately wanted it to be herself who pulled the Queen. Misty went along with it because she's a lil psychopath haha.

Anyway, I just saw this included in a thread by one of the showrunners and it perhaps points to what is not hitting for me ....

..... RANDY? Who gives a tiny shit about Randy for crying out loud. Walter and Jeff can stay, Coach Ben is dead to me - idc about his backstory and he literally attempted to murder them all. As said above, it's very weird they dropped Travis's death in the second series, and now that Nat is gone, will anyone know or care enough to find out exactly what happened there (did Lottie sacrifice him while suffering psychosis?).

 

[Okgolightly]

Sort of back this since all of the write ups reference them forming clans, which suggests multiple.

Yeah I definitely think there's going to be two groups- one that might be cannibals and the other not? Or maybe both cannibals but go about it differently?

 

[ThisishowIlivenow]

I'm very meh about it all.
But then it's a "thing" that every popular series has a poor sophomore season so there's still hope.
But yeah I'm meh.

 

[Restless Native]

Is the present day meant to be actual present day as in 2021? I was thinking that would make Shauna's baby 25ish now? I don't think the daughter in present day is that old is she?

I think it's meant to be actual present day. The baby might not necessarily have been her present day daughter though. God I hope its not the guy she's sleeping with and it looks like he's the one blackmailing them

 

[Greys1324]

Ignore me just realised I’m not up to date and I’ve got a new episode to watch tonight!

 

[Restless Native]

This seems to be the most popular theory from what I've read. I'm kind of hoping it's not him and that there's something more to it. Also, I know it's been a long time, but I kind of feel like Shauna might recognise Javi or that Adam would be somehow familiar to her if he is Javi? Maybe not, though.

Does anyone think Jackie is still alive and is possibly the person sending the postcards? I know we've been led to believe (in a few scenes now) that Jackie is no longer around, but I just wonder about her since it would be a good twist to have her alive - and she'd be a good character to keep around. Not sure how they'd work that out, though, when her parents seem to think she's dead. Hm. I've been reading some theories - and there is some evidence that Jackie made it home... I was sure it was Jackie who died in that first scene of episode one, but now I'm not so sure....

Mostly, I think I just want to see what big-in-the-90's actress is cast as adult Jackie. Robin Tunney seems like a pretty good fit.

I thought Christina Ricci was going to Jackie grown up but think they did that deliberately lol

 

[Violetroselily]

Episode 8 is up on Now TV. I'm half way through and thoroughly disturbed

 

[cosmo girl]

I can't get season 2 episode 5. It says its out but can't see any option to download. Normally the new episodes download automatically. Anyone else got the same problem?

 

[Greys1324]

How is everyone watching the finale? I didn’t think it was on Sunday!

 

[ThisishowIlivenow]

Reviewers have already seen the episode so that’s not the case. One of them ended up leaking spoilers not realising there was a break between airing.

Will need to go see about these spoilers I can't stand this waiting weekly for episodes!

 

[Restless Native]

It’s safe to presume that Shaunas daughter was born there is it?

I dont think she's old enough. Is she?

 

[Bleurghgram]

I’m sorry if this has already been mentioned, I don’t want to read the full thread and spoil anything…

is episode 2 of the new season missing for anyone else on Paramount Plus?! I’ve just started my week trial to watch it all after waiting SO PATIENTLY but can’t find episode 2

 

[Shutterbug99]

Yeah, I really want to watch this, but I'm a bit squeamish, and wondering if it'll be too much for me! Also worry about animal killing/cruelty in this one. Still, it has a cast I really like, so I hope to check it out!

 

[Ally]

Spoiler: Last episode

Felt really sorry for Biscuit and for Simone, for finding that. Taissa looked evil when she found out she had won. I'm guessing Javi died, I was wondering if Nat and Travis were out in the snow or made it back to the house
