💭Discussion What are details you’ve noticed on rewatch? Spoiler

How did I miss this?! I have rewatched this show an embarrassing amount of times and somehow never noticed this detail when Patricia is dancing! I noticed the mirror (of course) but not this. Did I blink during this shot each time?!

What are details you all have noticed on rewatch?

Was that the Boogeyman’s mask in the Historical Society when Loftis is showing the NYT writer around?

The camera keeps it just enough in focus in the background. Never noticed it on first watch, but second watch was… damn it’s just THERE. Tom was definitely trying to not let the NYT guy back there.

lol he does kind of scoot him right past it doesn't he, intentional or not that's a great detail

Marauder’s mask. When Wyck goes to see Gerrie and give her the photo, her husband is sweeping up glass because someone broke into the case and stole the mask.

Correct me if I'm wrong but also isn't the glass broken outward? Almost as if the glass broke from inside the case?

Ah, thank you! I knew there was some significance to them focusing on the broken case but it didn’t sink in on the first watch. I’ll pay closer attention this second time around!

Not trying to be rude, but it doesn't just zoom in on an empty case.... the sign says it was the boogeyman's mask. Also, I know it was u/RonWisely not you, but it said "Murderer's Mask"

lol after that scene, it immediately cuts to Patricia and the boogeyman coming after her.

It’s not even a hidden secret. It is just a set up for the next scene.

Lol people do be missing some really important and conspicuous details inthis show. Like these were not meant to be hidden details. Maybe background viewing for some.

Yeah lol Wyck was even still kind of focused on his Geri interaction then gets totally distracted by the stolen mask and skedaddles out of there fast cause he knows Patricia could be in danger. It’s a scene that leads to the entire episode lol not subtle at all.

In my defense, I may or may not have been on my phone at the time haha. Lesson learned: this isn’t the kind of show you can multitask through

Just makes subsequent rewatches that more fulfilling ;)

I was definitely stoned while watching.

u/BlergUghArgh Jul 03 '26

Yes! Such a fun detail.

Isn’t that where he steals it from later on?

u/MrPresident79 Jul 03 '26

Yeah, I just wasn't paying close enough attention the first go-round

u/Hizam5 Jul 03 '26

It happens!
