There’s a really big post on here about hating Acosta and for some reason, people are forgetting the fact that Boyd was ONLY torturing Elgin to get his pregnant DIL?????? Did everyone forget that Elgin actively kidnapped and refused to tell everyone where MONSTERS hid Fatima? Acosta has 0 moral ground over Boyd. Even if we give her grace for killing someone (that she doesn’t deserve bc EVERY single person in that town was in her situation before and didn’t murder someone), she left Henry and Tabby to die cause she wouldn’t f-ing listen???? She is a self righteous liability. Just like a damn cop.

inspired by today's thread about Acosta, seems like a decent amount of people think Boyd is somehow horrific for what he did to Elgin and are acting like thinking that Boyd is a fundamentally good person is unhinged

i guess my question is: what was the right answer then? Elgin literally kidnapped a pregnant woman and held her against her will. they are in a place where normal "detective work" is basically impossible and Fatima could be dying at any second. there are no cellphones to track or CCTV footage to examine. no witness. they are in a literal supernatural situation where everyone except Elgin knows that he is being lied to by the entities in the town, but he is a true believer and will absolutely not give any information without extreme force.

again, he has kidnapped a pregnant woman that could have died if they hadnt gotten her location, she was in really bad shape and couldnt even get up. are we really suggesting that Elgin's physical safety is worth more than, again, a pregnant woman he has abducted?

finally, i believe that the boundary set for Boyd by the writers was doing something irreversible. something like what Sarah did. and that is why Sarah did what she did. to preserve Boyd. she even says it explicitly

so whats up? am i a torture apologist despite being strictly anti-carceral like some suggested? or was Boyd justified because of the unique circumstances? personally i find absolutism morality which leaves no room for circumstances useless

edit: have yet to see a single reply about what Boyd actually should have done if not what he did which was the second part of this post

like bruh this sub reddit is getting spammed with the same question, "how come julie doesnt remember seeing her dad die" i swear, pay attention to the show or maybe mod needs to make a sticky for it lmao

1. This place really operates in cycles, most likely according to the dates Tabitha saw in the staircase of the lighthouse.

Why?

-MiY - constantly reaffirms that this is his favorite part- Meaning he has done this many times before and knows exactly when he starts activating this plan and what the results are. Probably the big massacre that left Victor alone, was one of his interventions as well.

2. What we took as a fact at the end of the last season, might not be the case. Tabitha is not buying this reincarnation theory, Jade seems not to have any arguments either.

3. Whatever this MiY is, whatever entity, apparently they arent scared of the sacred Christian objects - Tabitha was helping “Sophie” with a bible and no reaction at all.

4. Storywalkers just visit stories and cannot change them - probably this is gonna be the biggest arc for Julie - to learn how to be able to do it.

5. This place is all about balance. I think we should focus on this! Like how this balance works. Smiley got killed? —> Fatimas strange pregnancy and his rebirth to reestablish the equilibrium. People learn too much and reach some level of normality? —> Additional puzzles (weather change, food crisis, their mini shitshows such as the arc of Marielle Randall and Julie, Sara and Boyd, People dying in their sleep.) And now even the MiY himself had to intervene.

6. MiY transformed in the ruins where Martin was hostage and the three tortured. Maybe he is one of the things that Martin mentions as much worse than the creatures. Maybe his habitat is that dungeon and he was responsible for Martins never-ending torture.

Now some thoughts and questions of mine

1. Maybe Lady in Kimono was MiY- one of his forms. What if he is this 1000faced entity that serves the interests of the main evil there with which they had a bargain (if we trust Fatimas conclusion)

2. Why did Smiley not kill Kenny in front of Boyd? They are onto this “let’s break Boyd“ shit so why miss that opportunity?

Whyyyyy is she acting so nonchalant about Jim?? Every time the kids question her about Jim’s whereabouts, she very confidently says that he’s going to be okay.

I’ve seen some ppl comment that she was just trying not to scare the kids, but I’m sorry she was acting way too confident that Jim was fine. And then NIGHT comes around and she’s still insisting everything’s fine??

And then her denying everything that happened with Jade… is it that she feels guilty that she told Jim she needed space and then he disappears?

Not everybody is able to watch the moment the ep comes out. Please be respectful of that. :(

We know y'all wanna discuss theories and that's great. But what's the point of the spoiler tag when y'all put the spoiler in the title itself. Please keep the title generic. THANKYOU
