OUTER RANGE Ending & "The Hole" Explained! 

🍅 PASS THE CLAMATO! What did you think of Outer Ranges Season 1?🍅 Check out my other sci-fi & fantasy videos here: ru-vid.com/group/PLY9KJ1cFVs7iajBX4Ibg6jaCAH1eIuSgd

I think the character names play a part in the story too, Tillerson: a tiller is someone that literally digs and breaks up the earth. The lawyer for the land dispute is named Cleaver and he's trying to split the property. Royal Abbott is the crown and religion, a God-King, is he the person the future cult is devoted to, hence their presence when he arrives in the future? Perry from Peregrine meaning traveller, travels through the hole. Frank, a synonym for unvarnished truth, literally tells the sheriff that anachronistic things appear on his property. Cecilia: blind, meaning that she has been kept in the dark by Royal. Autumn Rivers: Autumn is the season of the harvest, (Chronos/Cronus being depicted with a scythe) and in Plato's Cratylus Chronos is said to be named after a stream (river). Character names are seldom accidents and these ones appear to have meanings relevant to their role.

What was the significance of the bears? Why did Ceci save/hide the dead cub and simulate a bite to her hand?? why did she kill & bury the grown bear and not tell anyone about it? why did the bear not attack Autumn?

I really love this show. I hope it gets a season 2 and the writers know where they are going with it. I feel like they have some sort of path because the future jumps should indicate they now how they are getting to those scenes. I wish more people were talking about this show!

I'm super not enjoying this trend of shows with more questions than answers that don't get resolved in any way by the end. It's a lame sequel hook that doesn't always pay off in an age where shows get cancelled at the drop of a hat. It's the viewers who get screwed in the end.

Love Outer Range & Dark!!!!! Can hardly wait for Outer Range Season 2. Time travel, crime drama, mystery, edge of your seat suspense is my “go to.” The cast is wonderful!!!! Keep’em coming!!!!!!

I liked the show overall. I thought it took a while for it to find it's story. It wasn't really until the last couple episodes that I felt the sci-fi / mystery elements jumped in. The first 5 or 6 episodes were basically just a western land dispute drama, with the occasional hole in the ground - but that was still interesting so I didn't mind. I'm a little worried about there being a season 2 (i haven't heard that much buzz about the show). Hopefully it happens, I'd love to see where they take it next. But even if they don't get a season 2, I think it's still worth a watch for the great acting and pretty good story.

Rebecca has been in town the whole time....Cecillia kept seeing her, but thought it was her mind playing tricks on her, but in reality...she was actually there and not a vision.

I believe the 'earthquake' was the buffalo stampede. My guess is Autumn came back awhile ago and set things in motion. Using future knowledge/black stuff she amasses a fortune using her mothers identity, who she then reveals herself to. This is why the mother leaves, she is helping her daughter who probably told her it was the only way to save the family ranch. However the black stuff is like a Drug and has negative side effects with prolonged us, might explain the mental stability. The future looks like ti was almost a convergence point. The Cult, Tillerson, Military and Corporations who all got control of the hole in their timelines. Somehow all those times have converged at that point when he awakens, and it could be a end of everything scenario because of those realities colliding. Hence when Royal and Autumn connect things disappear. Having lost her faith Cecilia tells Royal to run, where previously she might have seen this ending of the world as a 'rapture' style god thing and been okay with it. I also think what they are mining in the future is Time itself, Tillerson looks fine because he is rich and used it to reverse his illness that had him in a wheelchair

I think the “trust fund” is Rebecca and Amy getting rich in the future off of having the mineral rights from obtaining the property. Maybe Autumn is back in the past to ensure this happens or to change it just a little so that only she controls the mineral for her cult purposes.

Thanks. I was actually more confused when I finished watching all the episodes than what I was when I saw the first episode

Loved it. Got no theories yet. But the big question in my mind is why is Royal such a threat? Autumn purported him as a really bad guy. One would assume that's why Rebecca came back for Amy. And, to your point, it looked like there was a countdown clock and a tiny people waiting for him to come thru. Cecelia told him to run and Luke shot at him. WHY?!? Why is he so bad? Does he KNOW he's bad or does an avoidable fate turn him into the bad man he becomes? Does he have a choice? Who the hell is he?

The time, that people are sent to by the hole, is not random, it may seem random to us, but obviously there is some purpose, child Royal appeared at the feet of child Wayne, at the very moment he discovered the hole. the fact that people in the future "vision" had a count down clock, means that they understood how the hole functioned. The question is, what is the hole doing? is it trying to manifest the future timeline vision that Royal saw? or maybe it's trying to change that timeline so that will not happen?, is there some kind of battle between the hole and humans that are manipulating/controlling it in the future? these are all possibilities. Any movie/series that deals with time travel, and time lines, can get very confusing very fast, as you mentioned in the video, Royal could be related to anyone, and we have the mystery of Rebecca, she took off for some reason, I do not think it had to do with her husband being abusive, something spooked her, maybe she had a vision of the future from the hole, and did see he would abuse or kill someone (her or her daughter) and that is why she left. In the last episode it hints that events have been changed, personally I hope the visions are not written in stone, and fate can be changed. There is a whole lot of other stuff, that we have just way too little data, the minerals, the "spirit" animals the time travels without the hole, we can only guess at this time, wild guesses, but I think the big picture is, that, the hole appears when two timelines cross or are created from an event that should not have happened, and the hole / Chronos is trying to correct that.

When crockpots and slow cookers are in the midst of doing their thing, they can build up some pressure and that sometimes causes the glass top to rattle and shake. I don’t know if that’s meant to tie into something bigger happening within the framework of the story but in a practical sense, that’s what’s happening.

The scene when the guy tells the sheriff his cousin disappeared for six seconds, you got it all wrong. He says that took place 6 months ago, so it's impossible that it could have happened the first time Royal and Autumn shook hands. Then the sheriff sarcastically asks him if his cousin also was addicted to meth, meaning the addict is THIS guy (not his cousin).

By the way did anybody find autumns making out to be freaking weird. That tongue action was nasty and not in a good way.

There's a certain dryness to this show and I love it .

This is why I wait for these uploads: not rushed and not some stupid recap! I love the observational commentary and can only add that Royal and maybe all of the Abbots have a particular relationship with this mystical temporal portal. But, to your point, the portal may, or may not, abide by any time travel rules. Maybe the portal is driven by a person's particular attachment to the past. For example, Sheriff Joy appears to have an emotional attachment to the Native American tribal dance and then later is led up a mineral trail that takes her back to a time when Native American's hunted and survived on the plains by hunting bison before the American government decided to slaughter the buffalo in mass in order to starve off the rebellious tribes. And what has Rebecca told Amy to make her initially be in opposition to Royal (besides Royal's penchant for keeping vital information from everybody)? Interesting stuff. Thanks.

Thanks for the summary and finer points. Sooooo many connections in this series and it's just mind boggling. Can't wait for season 2.

This was a FANTASTIC series and I REALLY REALLY REALLY HOPE there is at Least a season 2!!!

The Amber Herd joke landed so well

I love this channel, great analysis. Always look forward to your take, especially this one as I’ve just finished watching this show. Great content as always.

You make the best recap videos. I was hoping you were going to do one for this show. Great job brother!

Okay I really needed this video to understand the season. I was just watching it during work but it seriously needs your undivided attention. Great stuff.

“It’s Wyoming. There isn’t much to do there.” 😂😂😂

Seriously kudos on this analysis. Best I’ve seen on almost any content.

Loved it! Total geek out material. Though none has been confirmed, the HAS to be a Season 2!

The vague mystery of it all. Brought it together really well. Just one giant trail of bread crumbs. There’s still royals past that’s not been shown for investigation. The story with his wife and their history is also vague in what did she do or knows. She’s standing beside him, and when asked by Amy how she met him it’s somewhat fate when she says “it’s as if I have been waiting for him all my life.” I like how the stages of how critical each topic is. The hole, Trevor’s Murder, The Family Losing their Ranch, Autumn, and The Future happening.

I'm glad you mentioned Dark. I kept getting the feeling that this was trying to be like Dark, but didn't quite know how to do it.

Thanks for the overview, I needed it.

Great video!!! I feel like I need to rewatch it and pick out details

Good job as your video opened my eyes and didnt pick up on most of what you presented! Great show!

Billy was also in the future when royal first falls into the hole but he’s dead now so the hole teleported royal to an alternate future. Autumn is also shocked that royal is back, hence she has no clue how it works. Another thing that’s strange is that amy told autumn that the symbol she’s drawing is her family’s crest. Autumn should’ve been able to figure that out as well. Autumn is an amy from an alternate timeline for sure.

Your explanation and and theories are excellent 👌🏼

It was like two parts Yellowstone & one part Twilight Zone w/some Twin Peaks sprinkled in. I liked it, but it was weird.

Love how wild and bonkers the show got by the end of the season!!

Dark is definitely a solid recommendation if you liked Outer Range. Outer Range spent too much time on side character melodramas. Dark is a masterpiece of a show. Hopefully season two of Outer Range starts answering more questions than it leaves behind.

Any theories on why the hole closed when Perry fell into the hole ?

Awesome cerebral rewriting of classics in literatur. suspenseful and wanting more. Even though the majority of viewers already know the storytelling.

The constant darkness was a bit frustrating. It sort of coined the phrase “Dark as an Outer Range rodeo.”

Crazy you mentioned DARK cause I thought about that exact show. Best show I’ve ever watched (5/6times now😂)

I wonder if they'll make it so that Royal realizes that BY9 wouldn't have taken his land if he hadn't brought the necklace to them to examine in the first place since they wouldn't have even known about it. Will he wonder if he'd have knocked over the vase if the Oracle hadn't mentioned it? 🤔

Interesting point regarding doubles. It was Royals wife that thought she saw Rebecca driving - maybe it was!

I’m late to the party lol. Just finished season one. I was blown away by the acting of each person. So much tension. Beautiful scenery. The story took its time and moved at its own pace. I feel in the end that autumn acted that way towards Royal Because of her anger. Her family, although the stars of the show, have a lot of issues. I like them, but they clearly made a lot of terrible mistakes that damaged Amy. She was hurt. She felt lonely. Which is why she is probably on medication as an adult. So I don’t believe in karma, but it’s like you reap what you sow. I absolutely loved the show! I hope season two is out soon

This show was so fantastic I hope season 2 comes soon

Great show! Love the whole premise of it

I can only just imagine the mind map these creators drew to interconnect all the events so that it makes sense to them. And all we're seeing is the same mind map with all the lines removed.

I love the show!!!! Can’t wait for S2- thx for the explanation- but what abt when “Autumn” meets and talks to her younger self Amy? If shaking hands w Royal makes their two timelines bleed & mtns disappear, wouldn’t meeting *herself* create a time paradox ? (& ‘rip a hole in space-time’ á la doctor who) but during their few meetings nothing spectacular seems to happen. And where did autumn’s trust fund come from?! Also in the final ep do u think when autum called Amy’s phone for Royal she quickly said something to amy abt going out to see her mom? Amy seemed like she was looking for someone before Rebecca called her name… a lot of questions. And rather than an earthquake, I felt like the final scene was the pressure cooker rumbling, as it did in another scene; representing all the tension & pressures the characters are experiencing & that things are reaching a boiling point & sh*t abt to hit the fan. Who knows tho 🤷‍♀️

This show, just like Severance, was a great surprise for me. I really like it, the story is intriguing, it has very good acting and amazing cinematography. I also like that NA are part of the story. I think that all of the plot revolves around Ryoall leaving his family in the past causing problems and anomalies for that timeline. Hope it will be renews for a 2nd season.

Outer Range I loved “Outer Range” and it also reminded me of “Dark” I laughed when you referenced it. Very few sci-fi tv shows meet my approval. Most are cheesy and predictable. But shows like the 2 previous mentioned and my favorite “Fringe” (All hail JJ Abrams) are able to keep me in suspense. This is my genre. I like a super natural plot also like “Leftovers” but I never got into “Lost” and I didn’t care for “Under the Dome” The verdict is still out on “Manifest” However, there are a few that devastated me when they were canceled so soon. I mean I’d give anything to see how these shows would have played out: Flash Forward, The Event, Heroes, and “Threshold” That was a lot but my first language is ramble.

Great video dude

Just finished binge watching the first season...and really enjoyed it too! Somehow I was thinking this was going to reveal an "ALIEN" encounter, but was floored it's a time traveling mystery unfolding. Season ending left more questions to resolve, so hopefully Season 2 does not take forever to happen! Lately seems every good sci-fi series is more delayed in release dates.

I liked the series, but I don't know why. Maybe I just like surprises but I kept watching hoping something would eventually make sense. Not much has yet by Josh Brolins character, Royal, and what happened to him is interesting enough for me to want more. I just just hope this doesn't go on and on so long that we just give up like I did with 'Lost'. I hope there's a plan to tie everything up and the producers aren't just winging it to keep us groping and hoping for as long as we will.

Heard of some native American (both North and South) origin myths talking about ancestors emerging from holes in the ground, probably related to the lore of this show.

Just finished it! This video did help clarify a few things so that my brain wasent hurting too much 😂 I am however disappointed at the ending because there still loads of things I want answered and considering we have no word on s2 or if there will be a s2 that frustrates me knowing we will be either waiting a huge time or won’t get anything.. I personally want in s2 the history of the whole and why it’s even here. Personally this show doesn’t need to be seasons long just enough for a decent story to wrap up. Anyway rant over ahaha overall I liked it 7/10

I loved Night Sky because even though all the plot stuff wasn't fully answered, it wrapped up the characters' stories. Outer Range, though an intriguing watch, really left a bunch of questions unanswered. Which is a shame because that last episode was really good. I wish they'd finished paying everything off.

This show is so deeply lonely, all these people who are sewn together tightly, with families sacrificing everything for their family members, the whole blood is thicker than water these being so constant, and even friendships/lovers, like they live unquestioningly by the code that you have their back no matter what they did. But they are so painfully unable to truly connect to anyone, ever. As hard as they want to. Royal in the end tore his heart out for his wife in desperate please for closeness, but never at a time when she could even hear it. I think the undercurrent of Royal and Ceceilia’s faith journeys was brilliant. I thought it was beautifully written and acted, and honestly heart wrenching in both directions, the losing and the finding. They were like ships in the night. They were both having such drastic shifts in their faith/understanding of their place in the world, individually going through arguably the most important inner battles a person can have, but in their process they totally passed by one another throughout the whole season, every shift in them brought them places with it that were so unlike the place the other person was at. So their understanding of the world, which is their experience of the world, was never shared between them. So lonely. I kept thinking “we were born alone, and we will die alone” In the end i had the sense that this show was a seriously heavy indictment of religion, but not of the core principles (the core principles under the specifics) nor in favor of materialist reason, but for religion being wholly inadequate as a framework from which to experience existence itself in all of its mystery and vastness, especially because it doesn’t provide an honest complicated way to understand the suffering and destructive elements which share the core of reality with the more positive elements. But then Autumn serves as a warning about the dangers of sliding too quickly into mystical overwhelm, linking it to the very real danger of psychosis. And then the Tillersons warn against pure materialism (as in matter, not fashion), having no cares for anything other than ones own impulses, desires, senses. Even art like music, painting, the nan golden reference (who i love) gets distorted by their fixation on self, as well as the wildlife, land, etc. Without grappling consciously with god or the universe or whatever, feeling powerless before it all, you really can become horrifically narcissistic, and endlessly hungry for more pleasure/ wealth/ etc. But then, its not like you reach peace and enlightenment BY grappling… pretty much everyone is f**ked and god is everything, the good and the bad, and feeling entitled to grace is unrealistic. Like if one feels like grace has been bestowed, it probably means you weren’t grappling with the nature of god at all. According to this show. I tend to agree. Anyway, I was just working these thoughts out while i was writing this. I didn’t know I was watching these themes while i was watching this show, I was just really watching a riveting show while i was in it. This all came to my mind just after i finished, here in the comment. I loved this show! I loved looking at this show, it was seriously so visually wonderful, and the timing/speed of the shots, the colors, the use of spotlight/headlight lighting. I loved the sound of it too. The music, but also the dialogue and the small sound details were also wonderful. It’s the world of cowboys as we all sort of wish the world of cowboys is. Like, its totally imaginary, but somehow also manages to be so real at the same time. Side note : the cowboys thrash-dancing to Metallica’s Jump In the Fire was a long standing fantasy of mine that I…never even knew i had until this show haha.

I’m excited for season 2 and I watched all your reviews of Dark

The cinematography was amazing. Story, not so much. Very very confusing. Thank God you made this video!

Wow! Your review kept me interested in Season 2. Up until now, I have felt that Outer Range was too slow, feeding the view via an eye dropper. Nice analysis. It's still very slow, as is "Dark."

At first I was hooked. Then the whole, so many questions with little to no answers started. I want suspense but c’mon, give us a little something! And no, I don’t mean more overly aggressive public make out sessions with zoom ins on the spit. I’m looking forward to season 2, I just hope this doesn’t flop out like “Under the Dome”.

Solid show about time!

The concept was good but I’m not sure the writers executed it to the best of its abilities. I feel it leaves you more lost than satisfied, as there’s too many holes to fill in (good joke right - cuz of the hole 🕳 you know 😂) A lot to fill in season 2 IF it gets there. Half the time I kept asking what all the fuss with the animals was about? The 🦬 with the arrows? The 🐻? Like? What? 7/10 - I enjoyed it still, but my brain was left in a void sometimes - get it, void, cuz of the 🕳. Gosh I crack myself up.

I like stories that tell a story, this just leaves questions and scratching my head.

I'm thankful for videos like this because there's no way I'm going to sit through that series.

Was waiting for Autumn to be Royal's sister from 1886.

I really liked the show, great acting, and there was enough reveal to keep me interested. I hope the writers have a good plan for season 2.

Dark is fantastic and your review on it was great. I watched every episode. Outer Range, however, is not Dark. The reveal of Amy/Autumn at the end of the season definitely kept me hanging on but the series could have used a little more story telling. We know from Royals solo short voyage through the hole that there are some additional connections to be made. The black goo coming up gave me XFiles vibes. It is an unknown substance that has an adverse affect on it's host...just saying.

Dark is the most well written science fiction show Ive ever seen. I really enjoyed Outer Range as well, can't wait for the next season.

Great show... Hope there is a season 2

Reminds me of the saying. ‘Much to do about nothing. ‘ many possibilities, with ending being unresolved.

Per IMDB the actress playing the Rebecca character was in episodes 6,7 & 8 but I only saw her at the rodeo in episode 8. That is interesting. Were her scenes cut out of episodes 6 & 7?

Personally I really enjoyed this series and can’t wait for the new season at the end of each episode I was left wanting to know what the hell is going to happen next so that’s how I judge well written shows fantastic IMO

It was such a great show. Can't wait for season 2. Seldom does television produce something so engrossing and worth the time.

glad I stuck with it, the last half of the season was fantastic.

Best show I've seen on amazon. Hope it gets a second season.

I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this series but I was instantly grabbed from episode one… I started watching it because of Noah Reid and what a great job he did in Schitt’s Creek I was curious to see what he was doing now… Wow! He was awesome as Billy and played that character perfectly. Not to mention his beautiful voice. I am definitely waiting for season two! I am most intrigued now with Autumn after originally not liking her very much… But now knowing that she is Amy really throws a wrench in that hatred!

Good show. loved it. hope it gets season 2. its slow but blink and you miss something.

Even with this explanation, I still have no idea what was going on lol.

Good job 👏

This really reminded me of Dark. The story doesn’t feel as well thought out but it kept my interest for the whole season🤷🏻‍♀️

What about arrows in bison's back? Autumn pulls one from the back and royal the second one. What it can be?

Excellent show impatient for more

Outer range was awesome way better than I expected it to be hopefully It gets a second season

This show is great, got hooked

Thanx for explaining a few things I didn’t understand

I loved this show. I think the earth quake sounds from episode 1 and 8 are the Buffalo

Straight in my eye!👁

The problem is, ep 08 wasn't a conclusion, it was a reveal. And the problem with the reveal was it was already pretty clear by ep 7. So when it actually turns out to be the season finale' I'm like ..."wtf?... we came all this way for that?" The series "From" had a similar problem. A lot of nuance with no conclusion. Maybe they're teasing for another season, but a bit annoying imo. I like the show but the finale' reminds of that famous TS Eliot line: 'This is how the world ends. Not with a bang but with a whimper'

The shade of it all

I loved this show and I really hope season 2 actually happens, but it seems season 1 had a lot of hard times and the show runner is now out of the picture so I hope if they do end up continuing the show that it still retains that sense of mystery and drama that season 1 had. I loved every weird fucked up moment and I hope at least that kind of weird fucked up energy remains as they make season 2, if it actually happens. Also I love Josh Brolin and Imogen Poots and really really want to see more of them as antagonists who love each other but not as they currently know each other. Though Autumn should struggle more than Royal since she grew up with him and Royal sees adult Autumn almost like a new person, even knowing that it’s grown up Amy.

Thanks!

Please do a breakdown on Under the Banner of Heaven & Atlanta ^^

Can anyone please explain the talking mamá bear? Wtf was that? And the bison with the arrows who appeared to both time travelers (Autumn and Royal). What was the connection with the animals? Also the cub bear. anyone have a theory?

now I suppose clamato sales will up, check out the ingredients first.However I have drank it, and I liked it. liked the series very much, looking forward to season two!

I like the show alot. I'd be very disappointed if there wasnt a season 2. Having said that ... when the answers do come , the pay off needs to blow me away for the show to be a winner in my eyes.

Thank you for clearing up a lot of WTF moments of this series. The acting and complexity of this show will keep me looking forward to season 2. Hope that happens

Maybe the accident that Autumn mentioned she was in and couldn't remember things from involved her father, Perry?? And maybe Perry died in that accident when he was rejoined with Rebecca as a family? So, maybe the hole closed because he was not to return because he died? I don't know really, just some random thoughts going through my head, lol. I would really love to know though. I just finally watched all the episodes, and I LOVED IT!!! Glad to finally know there will be a Season 2. They start filming on March 13th, from what I read. Truly excited for this!!!😉😊😁🥰

There were 2 Rebecca's Cecilia thought she saw her and she did but thought she was mistaken ;)

This show has strong Dark vibe, the mountain disappeared when Royal and Autumn shook hands is probably a reference to the "Grandfather Paradox".
