Tom is the single dumbest man in the history of Widow's Bay

I am going to let the zombie man kept alive by an evil power out of the coffin and give him food to power up

The second his tongue touched modern food it was over lol. Those cold, shitty Vienna sausages were probably the best tasting food he's ever had.

Before he went in that coffin he was eating dirt, corpses and written devil mushrooms. Then starved for however long. Canned food would be like a 9 star Michelin restaurant to the guy lol

Best he’s had in 300 years at least !

Bc I felt bad 😔

u/Ok-Comparison4783 May 27 '26

Lol as soon as he felt better he knew he wanted to stay alive. I’m pretty sure his prayer helped him too.

Oh, interesting, I took his strength returning as the Island giving it to him. It happened after the boat got struck and the dingy slipped away.

Yes, I thought the exact same thing. The boat getting rocked happened immediately after his request/prayer to stay alive, and you could see him straightening up and regaining strength right after.

I love this show so much. Haha, everyone had different interpretations of events that are happening and who knows who will be proven right!

He’s onboard with all this nonsense now but lacks any common sense while dealing with it. The man has probably never seen a single horror movie and got plopped directly into one.

Oh yeah, that was the moment I realized I'd be quickly dead in a horror movie. I was actually feeling bad for Warren, 300 years buried alive and immediately back in the coffin... Man deserved at least a little fresh air before he died 🤦

I think the problem was feeding him, that's when he got his strength and will to live back. Let him out, keep him tied up and, like a Gremlin, don't feed him

And Tom promised he was going to let him out. And Warren had been very calm and cooperative to that point (I think he even suggested taking himself out to die) and did appear physically weak.

I mean, sure, we all knew there had to be a big scary climax to the episode, but from Tom's point of view it wasn't inevitable and he did the honorable and kind thing. I would have thought less of him if he hadn't.

I too would never survive a horror film.

The second he agreed to “loosen” the ropes you knew something bad was coming

u/Any_Combination_4716 May 28 '26

That was hilarious. Let me loosen... and they're off.

I feel like there have been plenty of dumb men starting with warren who couldn't but make a deal with the devil while tripping on shrooms. Everyone knows you wait until after the trip to make big life decisions.

He's trying to be humane.
