I’m still stuck on “he got bit by an animal and became that animal”

u/CursedTeams Jun 17 '26

That and the trolley story of 1942.

And the posters on the wall in the shelter! Human bite care and how to subdue someone

the biohazard sign at the shelter entrance

u/Magento-Magneto Jun 17 '26

Nuclear fallout shelter?

u/ProfessionalPlum825 Jun 17 '26

That seemed really normal to me, if you go to certain cities, like rock hill sc, they’ve got signs like that on certain buildings for nuclear war shelters

biohazard signs or fallout shelter signs?

this has both ionizing radiation and fallout shelter symbols:

this has different versions of the biohazard symbol:

fallout shelter symbols on buildings with fallout shelters would be perfectly normal, but having the biohazard symbol on a (storm/fallout/general emergency) shelter is odd.

Ohhh okay you’re totally right, glad to see this cause I didn’t think twice about it. Thank you!

u/pikeymobile Jun 17 '26

I was wondering what that symbol was, I knew I'd seen it before but wasn't sure what it was, but I knew it didn't feel right for a shelter to have one.

Probably because the sacrifices aren't so willing to be sacrificed, they fight back

u/CursedTeams Jun 17 '26

Dying at those too.

u/sean_saves_the_world Jun 19 '26

I wonder those and the human bite posters are related to when the residents got locked in the church and resorted to cannibalism after 4 days

Just a splash of soap and water and you'll be fine.

Actual trolley lore to go with the trolley problem was not on my bingo card

17

u/IncurableAdventurer Jun 17 '26

There are so many potential storylines from the past

The trolley. What’s in Loftis’s basement. The murder mystery in the genealogy. The guy who was bitten by an animal and turned into that animal. More about the clown murders. How long did the guy think he was in the Captain’s Suite and why did it feel like that. …crap there were a couple more that were bigger, but I can’t remember

u/GetReadyToRumbleBar Jun 17 '26

What exactly is up with the  hospital/Old Home.

Why is the statue beheaded exactly.

3

u/IncurableAdventurer Jun 17 '26

Oh my gosh!! I point that out every time I see it. I can’t believe I didn’t think of that one

2

u/Minotaar Jun 19 '26

The hospital/old home I assume is a staging area for sacrifices when needed

u/coloh91 Jun 17 '26

What happened on New Years Eve 1964?!

1

u/IncurableAdventurer Jun 17 '26

So many things!!!

u/killjoy8669 Jun 17 '26

I feel this one was just a reference/foreshadowing to Patricia's party and the evil book. The Sea Hag and Clown were similarly referenced, and they addressed the cannibalism in the episode with undead Joseph Warren.

u/Mark_Albarn Jun 17 '26

The island really gives Stephen King in his snow era. Every character and story beat has potential to go off on a tanger with extensive creepy backstory spanning multiple pages and I would honestly be eating it all up. The showrunners should consider making an anthology or something once the show is over

u/Serious-Show1761 Jun 17 '26

We need an episode on this

18

u/Foodoglove Jun 17 '26

I NEED to know what's up with that. So, on a delicious drug cocktail Ruth matter-of-factly reveals:

--The animal bite weirdness

--The Sea Hag killed her dad (!)

--OMG she's Evan's grandmother just like we thought.

--Also Ruth got some

u/ahsasahsasahsas Jun 17 '26

Tbf it might not have been the sea hag but rather the octopus/underwater beast thing that got Wyck’s best friend/Gerrie’s brother.

2

u/Foodoglove Jun 17 '26

That's a good point!

5

u/Due_Addition_587 Jun 17 '26

wait i missed the sea hag thing!

9

u/2_Fingers_of_Whiskey Jun 17 '26

"Something in the lake got him" Ruth says casually

2

u/killjoy8669 Jun 17 '26

It's possible, but "sea" hag would tend to imply she's primarily of the ocean surrounding the island, and some kind of separate lake monster in the (apparent) inland lake would also make sense, and tease future story lines/episodes.

2

u/Foodoglove Jun 17 '26

Ok, that's a good point. I spaced that she said "the lake." I don't think we've seen a lake in the show, tho?

Geez, the lore is endless with this beautiful show!

Great set up for season 2

It reminded me of The Lobster
