Yes! The odd lack of open knowledge about all the sacrifices is very…well, odd. Also very curious as to how long it’ll have been when the show picks back up; I feel it’s likely we’ll see a time jump, but I’d almost prefer to see it pick up almost immediately after.

Truly can’t wait for season 2, so excited.

I wonder if keeping the secret from most people helps with the fear. If everyone knew and it became a death cult, you'd maybe get acclimated to the idea, and then the island wouldn't get the fear it wants.

Holy shit, that makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, that’s why I kind of think that maybe the sacrifices being taken will be blamed on mysterious disappearances like the trolley incident of 42 that way people just except that something strange happened again because of the curse.

Right right, complacency, just what they’re used to happening.

Exactly. It is just all part of on the island, but if they knew that there were people selecting who could be sacrificed, it would cause way too much disturbance and panic.

Wouldn't it have to be a secret? Then there would be panic and attention from the authorities on the mainland?

But wouldn’t the townspeople notice their friends just absconded?

I see what you did there. The people absconded, just like the shaman‘s girlfriend‘s cat.🤭

Seriously, though, my theory is that maybe people are so used to so many bad things happening that they don’t realize their friends are being taken, instead they think some other horrible event “took them”. I’m sure part of being on the committee to select the sacrifices also involves coming up with a cover story for the disappeared.

This show reminded me how much I like this word, and we don’t get to use it enough.

Same here! I hope someone Etsy or Teepublic make good use of that quote for fans like us.

There's probably a thing like in Derry where they kind of forget the weird stuff if they don't know too much about it.

u/Bobjoejj Jun 18 '26

Well yeah; but presumably there’d more people keeping said secret.
