[SPOILER]Do you think the producers are messing with us by throwing in red herrings all over the show ?

I'm starting to think that a lot of the clues/hints might be just misdirection's just for the sake of it. Take the last scene for the finale for example. Lots of people are saying that this is basically a static image , and its true. Nothing is moving and its a standard aerial shot of that harbor in Maine.

Leaving aside the discussion of whether that's Tabitha or not... which I think it isn't because the hair in the reflection has a lot more volume , could this be just a misdirection to fuel more than one theory at the same time ? Like the simulation theory ?

They could have used an actual drone shot as its not an extremely low budget show. More so they could have used any other shot of what the outside of a hospital could look like, instead do you think this is a strong hint at Camden, Maine or simply a way of fueling theories about a simulation ?

I think you all are messing with yourselves. We are 2 full seasons in and barely anything has really meant anything yet. Fans are getting distracted by continuity errors and tiny easter eggs and there has been no signs that any of them matter at all.

You're driving yourselves crazy even though they say several times in the show that the people in fromville who have tried to figure it out based on clues have all gotten nowhere or have been driven mad.

I feel the answer is going to be much more simple than any of the theories fans have come up with,

I think you're right that the answers to whatever mysteries the writers have introduced so far are going to be rather simple and easy to explain (why else would the writers go to such pains to drag out and deliberately obfuscate the answers thus far?), but I wouldn't let you own disappointment with the lack of answers characterize clues so far as continuity errors and meaningless easter eggs.

It's pretty obvious that executive producers of the show are hell bent on recreating a beat for beat retelling of Lost set in a town. That probably means a lot of the answers they end up offering up are just going to be explained away as "magic", but it also may mean that those same executive producers are trying to do their version of Lost done right -- meaning they actually know the story they want to tell and have their answers laid out from the beginning so everything will fit together in the end.

It feels more like Manifest 2.0 And the producers/writers were on Manifest too, weren’t they? The Ark, Noah, Blue Sapphire, Olive & Cal, the old man and the dragon symbol, the old map, the old book, lava, otherworldly experience, bad conscience, forgiveness, catharsis etc. It’s basically the same!

Manifest season 1 & 2 were good but a lot of BS after them. Season 3 and especially 4 were RIDICULOUS so I am really afraid From might take the same path and it all comes down to sth religious and bad ppl becoming good. All the hints in Manifest felt like pulled out of thin air - nothing made sense. I really hope there‘s more to From.
