From - US Pace - Epix (Spoilers)

The theme song by the Pixies is excellently Leonard Cohenish.

Nigel Fairservice · 07-08-2022 11:49am

Season 1 was decent. Hoping for more in season 2.

jos22 · 13-08-2022 11:36pm

I see this is on SYFY channel on SKY for those who want to watch it

Another Lost inspired puzzle-box. Except this time...it's different. Well, maybe not; gave the first 4 episode a look - it jumps straight into the set-up, and is intriguing, though a little slow-paced. Having said that, it seems to pick up the pace episode by episode, as the mystery expands.

10 episodes long, but the main question is already answered; renewed for a second series, so that's promising.

I think this is about the fifth thread I have seen started on this show I must check it out with so many posters starting threads on it.

Ah ffs.

Coz of the mountainous amount of "from"'s to search, couldn't find it.

Bit of a silly title tbh. It is bingeable though.

Not your fault the search function on this site might be the worst of any website on the entire internet.

Yeah; will only allow general rather than 'in-category' search. Ffs.

cdgalwegian · 20-08-2022 7:03pm

Not the easiest thread to find..🙄

Finished it after a binge-watch. Found it a little slow in parts, with some annoying characters, but overall, very intriguing.

I love the way they ask the questions that we the viewers would be asking, but actually set about trying to solve them. 'Lost' the obvious puzzle-box comparison, as well as Wayward pines, but the most obvious one is

Under the Dome. Apart from some of its parallels, one of Vincent's drawings shows the town in a snow-globe.

Also a little bit of Cabin in the Woods feel to it.

AMKC · 24-08-2022 11:34pm

So I just finished episode ten today and have a theory.

The monsters are powerered by people and that is why they need more people to keep coming because they eat the people and they in turn power the electricity at night by the floating dust that we seen around Tabita when she broke through whatever it was she broke through.

It's either that or something else below is somehow powering the electricity and the monsters have nothing to do with it at all but they live below the town during the day not in the forest and come up into the town through the Forest at night.

I also think that the house that Thabita and Co were in is not safe anytime now.

I look forward to season 2.

Tom_Tripland · 09-01-2023 4:42pm

Saw some episodes but I could say that he left a strong presence.

Agent Coulson · 23-04-2023 12:41pm

Good opening episode to season as the mystery deepens even more.

CastorTroy · 23-04-2023 8:28pm

All I thought of when seeing that ending

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrl5N1m192w

I'm guessing the unconscious guy will wake up at a bad time and start making noise and/or scream for help.

Now wondering who the new guy is who seems to know of the place but didn't seem to be familiar to anyone and didn't seem to react when off the bus, though he wasn't conscious long enough. Can't be a coincidence his seizure happened as the house was collapsing.

But, again, this is approaching hatch levels of theorising.

ejmaztec · 24-04-2023 1:04am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120512777#Comment_120512777

Perhaps the new fella had a déjà vu moment, and knew where the bus was heading? In the first series it was made clear that all the people had been there before, but none of them remembered it. He might have a few more déjà vu moments as the series progresses.

Roxxers · 25-04-2023 7:54pm

don't want to read too much of thread for spoilers etc is season 1 worth getting into ?

thanks

That's OK. I watched by other means :)

Can't be arsed waiting lol.

Slydice · 27-04-2023 10:16pm

2.1: Solid storytelling by these writers. They caught me up without needing a recap and brought on the story. Mystery deepens indeed.

fritzelly · 27-04-2023 10:23pm

Gonna need to start getting some answers else people will get bored with it - don't need another Lost

CastorTroy · 27-04-2023 10:25pm

Well one problem can be solved now. Once the 2 get out of the tunnels, they can let everyone know where the creatures sleep during the day and they can go down and kill them all.

Though I'm sure that's not them all or there's a lot more to them.

Slydice · 28-04-2023 9:53pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120529991#Comment_120529991

I was half expecting something like the sleeping creatures in the film I Am Legend. Yeah very few of em here and the cages.. wierd.

CastorTroy · 30-04-2023 11:34am

Good to get reminders of why they shouldn't stay out.

Now more mysteries added. Have they answered anything yet apart from where they got the stones?

And clearly a lot more supernatural so easier to wave off than Lost which pretty much just had a few unexplainable things.

Mysteries so far: Creatures, stones, tree on road, why can't they leave, voice on radio, who turns on the diner radios, teleporting tree, where did Sara go, Martin and that whole thing, what's under Boyd's skin, How did Elgin know the place yet didn't know to be indoors at night but seems connected, creepy spider webs, is it just a coincidence that Kristi's fiance was on the bus and more I can't think of now.

I know they have to keep something for future seasons but it seems they add more and more stuff without addressing any of it.

If they don't start addressing things soon, they'll just look like Lost and seem like they're making it all up for the sake of having mysteries and twists.

And people will stop watching.

Frank Grimes · 30-04-2023 9:12pm

I really liked the first season, and I am not someone who needs everything spelled out when I'm watching/reading something, but it really is starting to look like they're making this up as they're going along. Having said that I hope I'm wrong.

CastorTroy · 30-04-2023 9:23pm

I'm a patient man and can wait for answers. The problem is when they have so many questions then they're either cancelled or told it's their last season, which will happen if viewer numbers decline.

Trying to Google the ratings are hard because of the name. And anything I find is from season 1.

Slydice · 30-04-2023 11:54pm

2.2: Mystery intensifies! You know.. the whole few opening scenes along with the recap had an awful Lost feeling to them..

indeed.. what is under Boyd's skin.. what are these darker things..

Sudden Valley · 01-05-2023 2:34pm

It has definitely been in Lost teritory since the start but still enjoying it. The supernatural entity that must be controlling the town obviously feeds off the population but mustnot want overpopulation so just added the latest batch as the population got too low. I do wonder why it brought yer wans girlfriend or someone who been there before or just was dreaming about the town

CastorTroy · 07-05-2023 1:53pm

Well that was pretty messed up with Kelly. And I assume if it was some message to Boyd, Brian and Kelly were just unfortunate victims and not just brought there for the purpose. Or maybe both. Same way Kristi's fiancée was brought.

At first I thought Kelly looked like the the main mother or daughter.

Slydice · 07-05-2023 1:59pm

2.3: Felt like a whole bunch of building connections and storylines. Nothing really new or big.

I didn't feel a huge connection to yer wan at the tree but definitely was looking through fingers at the end.

The kids and the puzzle. I'm not sure those kids aren't human. Feels like they could be kidnapped by the monsters.

That new guy from the bus, feels like he'll either kick something off towards the end of the season.. or maybe join the Sherriff team

Thecageyone · 07-05-2023 2:16pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120520561#Comment_120520561

Yes, I hadn't heard of it till very recently, came across it while browsing tv shows on RT - I would say if you're into Stephen King-esque type horror/mystery then you will enjoy it. It's great popcorn stuff!

Thecageyone · 07-05-2023 2:20pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120529981#Comment_120529981

It's only start of season 2 ... do you want it to be over already? I can't see it go more than another season if they do decide to drag it out - Mystery series don't often have longevity, for example Yellow Jackets season 2 has lost me already, they really are just drawing it out - but From, so far is holding my interest.

Roxxers · 12-05-2023 1:26am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120565520#Comment_120565520

cheers

CastorTroy · 14-05-2023 12:30pm

I'm trying to remember, where do the people think Sara is, or do they just think she ran off?

Slydice · 14-05-2023 2:04pm

2.4: Hmmmm. The township about to go through some restructuring I'm guessing. Hard times too.

Guessing, stuff is going to start slipping and sliding with Kenny not helping Boyd and Boyd himself dealing with whatever got into his arm.

Maybe this new dude on the bus becoming a deputy or causing some kinda trouble or both.

The Matthews family look set to figure stuff out. Just what if Ethan is destined to end up like that other kid that Victor keeps seeing.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120595507#Comment_120595507

Good question. Hard to remember after so long. Yeah I think that she ran off but that the priest had actually taken her. Then Boyd took her for the journey in season one.

CastorTroy · 21-05-2023 12:08pm

How long until the bus a$$hole sees the error of his ways?

Slydice · 21-05-2023 3:19pm

2.5: That episode.. I think.. was one of the top episodes of From.. for being an episode of From.

It didn't make huge strides in any particular story or push the big story along.. just it was a really well made episode of From.

Many of the characters interactions and their scenes all just worked really well.

I think I started noticing it when Elgin went into the church.

I was like... this isn't funny.. but what's happening to Elgin and how they were slowly revealing to him that people died and Sara was a murderer.. I found myself laughing at the dark/bleak humour or something of it. There must be a word for that.

The twinkle scene was done well.

The creepy kids was done well. It feels like they are only a maybe baddie. Maybe they are not. I dunno. They could be kid monsters for all I know.

The bit of a montage at the end was done well.

Can't believe yer wan went after the morphine. Guessing she's an addict of some kind. Haven't a clue what/why/how morphine like that works

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120623363#Comment_120623363

I had this image of him maybe setting up a trap for the monsters. Total guess but maybe he could go that route.

Slydice · 28-05-2023 11:28pm

2.6: Oh! This is big!

If it dies, then there's a way to fight back, maybe get rid of em.

I'm half guessing the whole thing with Boyd might have been those spiders in the woods ages ago

If Jim is right and they are all being watched, maybe the monsters are penned as well and the controllers are using the spiders to keep them there

Or I could be way off.. 😀

CastorTroy · 29-05-2023 8:33pm

Oh great. Add more confusion to the whole thing with the blood.

Didn't they address where the food comes from before?

Snake Plisken · 03-06-2023 9:44am

Just finished Season 1 and it really reminds me of Lost and I loved every season of that show. It is probably answered in season 2 but I think it was the Bartender who answered Jim on the radio.

Anyway watching on Paramount+ So will kick on to Season 2 tonight

cdgalwegian · 03-06-2023 3:33pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120672773#Comment_120672773

3 episodes into season 2 - definitely in the vein of Lost, without a budget, done horror style. Easy watch, with a drip-feed of wtf'ery, where the protagonists themselves continually wonder aloud the possibilities of what's going on, the way real people would.

CastorTroy · 05-06-2023 10:14am

Episode 7

The stupidity of people when examining unknown creatures always makes me laugh. Like if that was me I would be wearing a mask, at least. Especially when we know there's something infectious in there. Though at least they wore gloves. And I'm sure they could've found somewhere else to keep the body.

Jim's going to become really annoying, isn't he?

Sudden Valley · 05-06-2023 11:26pm

Was it not revealed the daughter was gay? was it never brought up again. I'm glad to see the characters are finally revealing some of the secrets to each other.

Slydice · 06-06-2023 10:44pm

2.7:

F*ck me! I fu*king lifted right outta my chair!

AMKC · 06-06-2023 11:34pm

I love From. Loved the ending of the 6th episode. The only part of From I do not like is the intro and the The theme tune. Hopefully they change it for season 3 if there is one.

AMKC · 07-06-2023 1:05am

Just watched episode 7.

Some freaky ****.

So I am thinking shoot the monsters with the bile in a dart or a bullet

Also Oh no not Elgin.

Snake Plisken · 08-06-2023 1:18am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120684558#Comment_120684558

It is a great show, I do hope we get a season 3. As for the theme I love it The Pixies do a creepy version of Que Sera Sera with Frank Black doing his best impersonation of Leonard Cohen.

Slydice · 08-06-2023 8:50pm

The theme tune and opening reminds me of True Blood

CastorTroy · 11-06-2023 12:45pm

New episode

Hmmm, so the a$$hole bus guy can't be trusted? I did not see that coming.

Yet more questions now about the dreams.

I thought we would see Fatima when Elgin woke up since the creature seemed to be wearing a similar dress to what she would wear. Like she was trying to wake him from his nightmare.
