Jon needs to stop dismissing people, so far both assistants have gotten into trouble because they thought he wouldn't take them seriously without evidence.

@LovedandTheLover 3 года назад

In Jon's defense he believed Martin about the Witch right away.

@blueweirdness4023 3 года назад

Maybe he didn't expect anything would actually happen to them, or maybe he didn't expect them to care so much about what he thought? (Lowkey hoping it's the latter for angst and/or wholesomeness purposes. Wait, what am I saying? Both possibilities could be used for angst. :D)

@RiderOmega 3 года назад

Jon is probably being overly dismissive because much of the evidence that belongs with a file that’s been proven is missing from a ton of files that seem to have compelling leads, and only now is he believing because his team is being attacked.

@purplecatloverrandompizza 2 года назад

he's very dismissive about the regular people that come in but when a coworker makes a statement he always takes it seriously and keeps them safe

@rilla5058 2 года назад

He has taken both of them seriously though, especially Sasha. Tbf working in a job that deals with the paranormal, you need to be quite skeptical, if you just believed everything and took "feelings" as evidence, it would be a mess.

@senormooples2354 2 года назад

@Ida Juelsson I'm inclined to chock this statement as the overactive imaginings of an 11 year old based on the fact that quite frankly, it's impossible to find any corroborating evidence other than of course it having vague similarities with earlier statements, but I do sympathise with the subject, I too feel like I'm always being watched, especially right now... hmm I'm rambling End of Statement That was hella fun lol, I recording be reading it and everything, gotta say I felt like Jon, that frankly was definitely an exiting statement you gave there, we have local folklore of women wearing the faces of loved ones here to lure children into the forest and mind you we live on opposite sides of the globe

It's a small detail, but it's really funny to me that Tim is the one who pulls April Fools pranks on his coworkers when, in episode 11, Jon said Tim was the _only_ person he trusted not to be pulling a prank on him with the scary dream statement. Poor Jon. No wonder he has trust issues.

@TheNitpickChick 2 года назад

👀

@a.b.6689 2 года назад

I just thought that maybe Elias was like a security guy so he of all of them does not need so much protection, which might not actually make sense but still. I mean Jon keeps saying he's gonna ask Elias for extra security or fire extinguishers... Yea that kinda s bad reasoning tho

@TheNitpickChick 2 года назад

@@a.b.6689 The reason Jon mentioned talking to Elias about more security is because Elias is in charge of the institute. He’s the head administrator who would be able to arrange for additional security or for the fire suppression system to be switched out. Just some clarification for you going forward. 😊 Basically, he’s Jon’s boss.

@a.b.6689 2 года назад

@@TheNitpickChick I dunno if I was too stupid to notice or if this was a spoiler

@TheNitpickChick 2 года назад

@@a.b.6689 It’s not a spoiler. Elias is established from the get-go as Jon’s boss. 🙂 In the first episode, Jon mentions him as “…the Head of the Institute, Mr. Elias Buchard…” But then there were several episodes between that and when Elias interrupted the statement recording in episode 17 to chastise Jon about upsetting Naomi Herne (since she’s connected to the Lucas family, who he mentioned are big donors to the Institute). So I understand how it could have escaped your notice. There are a ton of names thrown about, and it’s hard to connect them all on your first listen. 😊

"You'll know him by all the bones in his hands." Episode 8. The narrator's father's last words because they were about to stop his "work" with fractals. Either its these creatures... or the bone turner. I DONT KNOW AND ITS KILLING ME.

@GiubileiFernando 4 года назад

I get the feeling that every single creature up to now has been the same "species". We just don't know the mechanics behind them yet. Maybe the immortal spider and the vampires were something different, maybe.

Maybe it's closer to this one that the other? Because this one ONLY seems to have bones in its hands- "all its bones in its hands" would fit

@@GiubileiFernando I think that the worms are one separate species, the Leitner books are a case of its own and whatever the eye cult is up to, although there seems to be a connection between eyes and books. I also have the feeling that whatever possessed the priest and the house has something to do with that cult because both the serial killer and the dad if the worker at the house were killed with no weapon found.

Reminds me of the terrible story I used to tell my neighbor friend's older sister about the "black worms" which functioned about the same way as the silver worms, but they were smaller, like hairs that crawl into your hair if you lie in the grass. I feel bad because we teased the older sister with this creepy tale, as she was disabled sort of, with prader willy. So even though she was older, maybe 14, she was mentally about the same age as us, around 11 (me) and 9 (her younger sister I was friends with) at the time back in 2002.

I could never get any piercings for that reason, and piercings that go under skin and not just through it(ear piercings are fine and lip and nose piercings don't really bother me but eyebrow piercings or ones that do across the bridge of the nose freak me out) make me feel uncomfortable to even look at or think about. Honestly, sometimes the fact that I have bones under my skin freaks me out. So the flesh hive freaks me out because that's playing into a fear of mine that's rather hard to escape.

Pro tip from an avid fan: I quite enjoy the way I went about watching this series. It might sound a bit odd but I started at episode 91 because I had seen an animatic and it looks action packed enough to keep my attention longer then my first watching of the anglerfish. And then I kept watching, I started in the middle of the series and watched until I was caught up. Now I’m enjoying going back and watching the beginning to pick out all the little clues an stuff like our friend we meet here from a point of understanding. I’m not sure if this would ever work for any of you I just wanted to say I liked watching it this way.

Inch resting how Martin's "archival assistant" and Sasha's "assistant archivist"

@TheNitpickChick 2 года назад

I never noticed that before! Well spotted! 😃

@melissaharris3389 2 месяца назад

Yeah. Jon clearly puts Sasha just below him on the hierarchy tree. He's the head archivist, and she's the assistant archivist; but, they're both Archivists. While Martin gets relegated to archival assistant: bottom of the totem pole below Sasha and Tim.

@amandafrazier9724 3 года назад

Listen. I ship Sasha and Michael. One day this will be the story of their first date. "The stalking wasn't cool, but then I joined him for coffee, we met up later and he showed me how to slay an evil parasitic enemy, and then saved me from gruesome infestation. The rest is history."

I'd just like to remind a few people (as I myself forgot this detail and remmberd it from searching his name in the transcripts) that Timothy Hodge was the one with the sexual incounter with Harriet Lee, the women infected with the parasite from the woman in the red dress/"flesh hive" .

@jaderush4141 3 года назад

Okay, so this is very stupid, but I heard "fire extinguisher", registered it as such, and then proceeded to think it was a flamethrower (with CO2 and zero flame for some reason) for the rest of the episode, right until I heard Jon talking about getting CO2 fire extinguishers for the Institute, at which point I registered the thing for what it was again and realised what a goof I've been. Like wtf, dude xd Also, I'm a big fan of sympathising Jon. The way he talks to Sasha at the end radiates great sadness at the thought of her leaving. I hope to see more of this side of him.

As some that's finished the series I'll say that Jon cares very deeply but constantly has difficulty expressing that to others. It's part of the tragedy that few people really understand how _much_ Jon cares.

From what it sounds like, Martin is THAT guy. You know those signs that say, "Its been x days since incident y has happened." Martin seems to be the type that makes x go to 0. "It would be Martin." Just accident prone.

@voidjockey82 Год назад

... ah, Sasha. I know, I know it most likely wouldn't have changed anything. She was on the radar of those things now either way, they would never leave her just be. But maybe, if she had taken that offer and went away, maybe she would have been deemed "not important enough". And then, just maybe... Well, it doesn't matter anymore I suppose.

Unfortunately, none of them _can_ quit. Even running away isn't an option as Tim later learns. Not sure if the Distortion knew this or not. It _IS_ lies after all.

@nishatlamisaathoi9076 3 года назад

wait she said that the hands were like leather, it's like the leather hands poking through the holes in that metal thing in the last episode right? is this the same creature? it also has similarties to not!Graham before he turned into him I think. Also, now that I think of it, the way Martin described the sound of squishing the worm was very similar to how Timothy from squirm describes the sound from the bedroom, and timothy was infected by worms after Harriet was acting weird so it was obviously the worms. This creature might also have to do with the boneturner from how it was described it would take the bones in that episode

@someoneawesome8717 3 года назад

Ok so I think the "vampires" from earlier may actually be mature versions of those wormlike things and they reproduce and mature after being placed in a host (such as the young woman from Writhe) very similarly to how parasitic wasps (the ones that made Charles Darwin stop believing in God) reproduce. I will return to this if my theory has viability. I don't mind spoilers so if someone's back here on a rewatch please tell me if I'm on the right track
