For how the show begins we don't spend nearly enough time at night dealing with monster shenanigans.

This is 100% Lost where they had like the makings of a mystery but never did they have the answer to that mystery until literally forced by producing more and more seasons demanding some sense of it all. It sucks because there's shows like Raised By Wolves where you could 100% see it went from "I dunno" story to "Oh, we know now" in just its second season, but got cancelled as soon as everything started to make sense.

I pretty much assumed this shit wouldn't ever make total sense, but that's also kind of why you watch. Just to see what stupid twist they add one after another. It's like the Sci-Fi/Horror Suspense version of a soap opera. Which idiot is going to listen to demonic voices? Who's going to switch from "We can do this! to "We can't do this!" this week? Who's falling down the stairs and/or impregnated their adopted Aunt?!?! It's just kind of trash, but it's watchable trash. I hope they just never expected Emmy nominations or anything for this, because it very much is in the okay+ junk TV category.

Covers all the bases.

The runtime on this episode was quite a bit larger and it baited me in to thinking a lot of stuff was going to happen. I gotta stop watching the trailers for these episodes. They're giving away the little that does happen.

edit - it's never monster nighttime and I don't know why

I didn't even think about it, but can the ghoulies swim? Could they just build a big cabin on the lake while they're there and just chill there safely without a talisman? Or were they able to fly or something? I seem to remember in the first season, maybe even first episode, the fake grandmother or whatever was just like hovering outside a 2nd story window or something.

Wonder if the sunken shit is some deus ex machina type thing that the original villagers used before "escaping".

At first I thought the dude unplugged a stopper and the lake was draining.

Same.

Getting better but I continue to wish this show was like 15% less stupid. Why did they stuff the rag dolls with rocks to then have them still float when dragged back in to the lake?

edit - as a tax for things happening it looks like no episode next week

Glad I'm not the only one bothered by that. They load up the things with like 200 pounds of rocks each and then...they float.

The acting is also starting to get terrible. Victor's dad weeping at the end of the episode before this, from a picture drawn by an 8 year old, was ridiculous. The nurse girl was equally bad. Also with her not talking about shit the first time. In fact, the daughter is pretty awful too.

Honestly, the only worthwhile parts of the show anymore are Jade, and to a lesser extent Tabitha. But mostly Jade.

They know where the creatures sleep, they should just blast a big fucking hole above them during the day. Smoke em.

Obviously they don't have the tools/equipment for that, but that'd be great. "Surprise sleepy heads!" They'd probably just be reborn out of some ones shits in an outhouse a week later knowing this show.

Man, fucking Ethan, "I like when you're here Donna, I'm not scared when you are!" Don't you FUCKING put that voodoo on her you little shit! I shook my head in real life the second he said that.

I'm in the same boat about not watching this season yet, but I constantly ask questions like that. But to be specific about yours, they talked about it, briefly, in like the first or second season - whichever one where they first started to go down in the caves. Not word for word quote but "why dont we just go down there and kill them all" and the answer was that they arent all right there and that they appear to use the magic doorways to get around. The way I imagined it in my head after that was that they are basically on a big ass ant hill in comparison.
