I loved Alder's song. So sad, and yet beautiful..... On another note: I did not like the ending, with the leader of the Spree living, while Alder was removed from power.
This explained Alder and her attitude and behaviour. Her song of grief lasted for such a long time, hence the time lapse, and created something greater than her and any other. It is about life and its' continuation.. Real was chosen by the mycelium because she never wanted power and so was best suited to getting it.

This shows how the writers of the final series did not watch went before. Either the mycelium "we" began when this shows or it existested many thousands of years ago. It is one or the other. Retconning does not work in such a short lived series. You can get away with retconning in stories that go on for a long time, for example Dr Who, WoW, RS, etc but it fails in this situation. The story of each series was good but as it was a single series the writers should be a lot more careful.
just a theory, unless the writers release info, but maybe the Mycelium was around back when the first holders of the song were taught but was only strong enough to reach those few women, with Alder's song the Mycelium now had more strength thanks to the bodies of her coven, to reach more people and gain strength so maybe it's not recon, but a disjointed story.
@@W0rkf4rt Did you watch this scene?? 1:14 "We need you to see how everything began", 1:19 "This my daughter was the day we were born". I would say that was rather definitive. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed every series of Fort Salem, I was prepared to be disappointed by the pilot, from many years experience, but I love it and so continued watching it. I loved the series, but can not forgive the writers for killing Anacostia as if she couldn't destroy a jeep flying at her, let alone Libba.
@@Dermacrosis Yes i can understand that and i know it's confusing this is me applying my thoughts to the situation, based on knowledge of the show and knowledge about mycelium in real life. After all the show does have a basis in the real world history after all.
@@W0rkf4rt Obviously as fungi where the first to colonise the earth above the water line. Plants tried but failed until they formed a relationship with mycelium. I was talking in relation to the plot lines in the series, it was Alders song grief that was the birth of the mycelium in one series, yet in the following series the mycelium was responsible for witches.
The Mother has always been. Alder's song evoked it. By calling it she gave it focus. She gave it form, a physical as well as spiritual place to be. So attacking "Her" in far off places hurt her and her children, but if the enemy attacked on the ground of Fort Salem it would cause more harm and be felt everywhere. Probably why Alder continued and weirdly why Penelope was able to exist in spite of the plague.
