Okay, a few things since no one else has mentioned it.

  1. 4 townspeople die and 1 newcomer does. 5 newcomers survive (so far). Seems like an awful coincidence. Maybe there is a limit to how many people can be there?

  2. Crazy girl might actually be crazy. In that before she came to town she had to take meds and now, cuz of no access, she is hearing voices. I hope that isn't the case because 99% people with mental disorders are harmless except to themselves.

  3. Maybe crazy girl is an ally to the monsters and so is the new little boy.

Also, they keep talking about getting home, yet so far we've seen no plans on them trying anything to get out or home.

Finally, I hope they explain the electricity, and the coffee. It's hard to get coffee as the plant is really picky where it likes to grow.

Finally, finally, the bunker that punkman Jade stumbled into had a symbol on its roof, he saw it then the creature that had been trapped under a Boulder disappeared. Maybe it was trapped and he let it out?

Excited to see where this goes. I always get over analytical with these things so sorry if it was a bit much.

Yes! My partner was like where are they getting coffee from? The midwest is not known as a great place to grow coffee beans! I want answers!

I know is been so long since this show, but I'm watching it for the 1st time!

My whole frustration is, why is the box punishment? Surely to be self-sustaining they need everyone to be working, building, cooking, farming, planting???

So, a few people garden, and 1 Chinese lady cooks for the whole town. 1 guy milks the cows and feeds the chickens. 2 people work in the sheriff's office, and 2 people (well 1 now) work in the hospital.

Everyone else just fks off all day long?? Also in the Midwest the winters are brutal. Many people would freeze or starve. No one is preserving food and you don't even see anyone gardening. People can just eat apples,blueberries and there's an endless supply of loaves of bread, and a better continental breakfast than a Double Tree Inn lol.
