I loved this episode and thought it started the season off with a bang. So much happened from the trailer already! It seems like we are going to get some answers.

General thoughts:

-Is Kenny going to resent Boyd when he gets home and learns about his mom?

-I find it weird that Tabitha went to a priest immediately. I found that entire interaction weird. Does that allude to the mysteries of the town being more religious in nature (purgatory).

-Will the creatures be trapped in the barn now that the talisman was hung up and the barn door locked? Basically will the same magic that prevents them from entering a building prevent them from leaving the building? Could it become a trap? Or can they just rip the talisman down?

Exactly. She is enjoying a meteoric rise to super stardom right now, and I feel like her insistance on using her voice and not just falling in line is meaningful. These candidates don't really need more famous names coming out in support at this point. We have plenty of celebrities championing Harris and reminding everyone to vote. I don't know what fan of Chappell Roen would suddenly decide to register and vote in the election at this point. You either care about who you are voting for by now or your head is buried in the sand.

Roan’s conservative critics are a lost cause—she was never going to win them over, not by dressing up as the Statue of Liberty at this summer’s Gov Ball in New York, smoking a giant fake joint, and screaming about how she had no plans to accept an invitation to the White House. But now, there are plenty of Harris voters and liberals who are angry with her perfectly reasonable but slightly wrinkled position that no government, right now, deserves her loud championship.

There is the crux of it. This is also probably why I found this post downvoted. Anyone pointing out the "both sides bad" argument isn't very popular on Lemmy.

Hopefully Harris wins this so we can permit a more nuanced discussion of the government and how it is run. Rather than shouting down anything that might remotely strengthen Trump.

Hell yeah! Tim Roth iis awesome. Such a good addition to a dramatic cast.

I had no idea she wrote a book. I love her humor, though! Will add it to my reading list!

We do not want that. We do not want a protector. We want our rights to be upheld and not jeopardized by making them a State's Rights Issue where they can be dismissed or "protected" by stupid little men like him.

My favorite easy fiction that helps me unwind is Agatha Christie mysteries. There is a reason she is the greatest mystery ŵritwr of all time. She sets up compelling situations and makes her way to a damn satisfying conclusion by the end.

A few of her shorter but still excellent stories: The Secret Adversary N or M The Unexpected Guest 3 Blind Mice Halloween Party Murder of Roger Akcroyd

Also if you like Mysteries I have to plug my all time favorite: 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

It is a great mystery in which the protagonist wakes up with no memories and has 8 chances to solve a murder.

The simplest explanation is that some people are just stupid?

The people I have chosen to spend my days with. My spouse, my child, a few friends. And also daydreaming about vacation...specifically vacationing with all of those people. That would be incredible.

I agree that if this drags on with no answers, I will be frustrated. But I believe the showrunners said they had a plan for 5 seasons, so personally, I will be along for the ride at least that long. Even though it drives me crazy it is so much more entertaining than most other TV shows.

I'm sure coming up with theories will keep us occupied...or drive us insane. Either way, cheers to new episodes.

That's a very good point I didn't rhink about.
