What the hell is this?
This is an overall dump of my thoughts during my first time viewing of From's third episode, A Rock and a Farway.
And now for my notes.
Now, who the fuck are you? (Oh, it's a flashback of the old man. That sucks.)
Sir, why are your nipples so hard while you look at the corpse of the man you sentenced to death via torture? (We couldn't have warmed this actor up? Given him a looser shirt?)
Oh, now we're going to deal with dead baby? Do you not realize I don't even care about this living family, let alone its dead members?
Wait, the dead old man was her husband? I thought it was her father. Oops.
Jade is more interesting than anyone right now, not solely because he was funny as fuck in the last episode and now because he's the one who saw the shit in the basement and is actually interested in looking for answers.
I dunno, man, I just don't really feel like the stakes in this story are super high? Like, night is scary, I guess? But also if you just don't act like a dipshit, there's not really any danger? And if they do kill you, you don't really lose much before life is just... empty? IDK, man. I think I need them to really lean into the mystery of it all because the characters and the peril definitely aren't compelling enough to hold my attention.
Twin Peaks over here—which is what I'll be calling the old guy—is also interesting the same way Jade is. He says the trees are now four inches closer. Is he right? Is he crazy? Who cares, it's giving House of Leaves!
What the fuck, why are you assaulting this man!? I hate the father. Christ, that guy is clearly slightly disabled. Leave him the fuck alone!
I really, really, really want to be able to love & enjoy this female friendship happening.
Oh, she reminds me of Cote de Pablo! That's who she reminds me of. But anyway the character fucking sucks. Julie is the only member of this family that's remotely worth paying attention to.
Oooh, it's a magic town that wanders America! But anyway, Jade says he's going to do whatever it takes to figure this shit out, and the deputy's like, "Then you'll go insane because that's always what happens." And I'm just like... I'd rather be dead than boring in the face of horror magic???? What the hell is wrong with you weirdos, lmfao?
Lady, your husband fucking blows. Get rid of him! (But also, now you've got a reasonable excuse for running this guy off from your child because he's now luring your son out of the house without your knowledge so no thanks, let's not have this child and this seemingly disabled man wander into the woods alone.)
Fuck this priest.
Wait, wait, wait, so Boyd "saved the town" by "finding those talismans," but everyone else has to follow all the rules to the letter of you'll kill them? But you can go exploring and finding talismans and shit while everyone else is supposed to stop trying to figure things out because they'll supposedly go insane? Fuck off! Clearly investigating is the right choice!
"I've been here the longest. For a long time there wasn't anyone here but me." Yikes.
"A faraway tree!" The trees can fucking teleport shit!?
Dogs??? And the old guy's got a gun? Jesus, if you go anywhere near that fucker to try to hurt him, I swear to god I'll find some way to kill you myself, Jim. Absolute fucking freak.
I wonder if the old guy is a "real" resident of the town? Like, he didn't come here but was there already when the monsters showed up for the first time? If so, this is a much more recent phenomenon than I'd been expecting.
But anyway: fuck this stupid family, I want to see Twin Peaks, Jade, and I guess maybe the sheriff investigate this shit.
Meanwhile, listen to this stupid fucking cocksucker. Goes to the sheriff and goes "I'm not interested in how things work around here" and demands that the sheriff do something about the old guy talking to his kid, as if he fucking raped him or some shit. Go fuck yourself, drama queen. Hope the monsters fucking eat you.
Yeah, see, I want this to be a lovely friendship between women, but it's giving "we saw you from across the bar and really liked your vibe."
So the jukebox, what, randomly played a song that means something to them? Interesting. I saw something on TVTropes about the town itself actively fucking with people being a predominant theory, and... maybe.
Anyway, yeah, I was just about to say that y'all shouldn't let this girl be alone with that little boy. And sure enough!
Wait, what the fuck is Victor doing?
"I was just trying to get a head start this time," the last survivor of a complete massacre says while DIGGING GRAVES FOR EVERYONE.
