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.

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".

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.

The show isn't about monsters at night at all anymore.
What I'd kinda like to see in this season is everyone dying except sole survivor Ethan. Season five is then a narrative speedrun of his entire life and the larger cycle that concludes with Ethan breaking it for the happy ending. Just turbo charge every episode with shit happening at lightning speed (for the show). Every two episodes is like a full season's worth of shit, that kind of thing.

How many more episodes do we have left before I can fire this up and watch it all?

Is it getting better at least? You know you're my barometer for how good the show is turning out this season. And based on your weekly reviews apparently I just want the kid to be murdered by the night monsters, but they don't show up very often so I guess it's a loss.

The prior week's episode had some night monsters and gore but it was different night monsters.
Season's getting better with a solid build towards a whole bunch of death. If they follow through on that we'll see but it's where we're going.
edit - I dare say I like this season based on its own merits

Is it though? This whole episode I was thinking about how hard it is to take this show seriously anymore. Upon finally learning new information about half a dozen times, someone (mostly Boyd) responds with, "wait, what do you mean?" like they haven't seen about a thousand fucking things that defy all logic. Or Donna with her "how are we going to tell these people about new thing!" as if these people aren't all redshirts, or if they actually were developed in any way that anything would somehow be a bridge too far of believability. I enjoyed Boyd asking the woman who just had her face burned off to go be his messenger.
I still don't understood why Victor with 40+ years of drawing experience still draws with crayons like he's 3. And his dad might be one of the worst actors I've seen on a show like this. I feel like he's the caricature of an actor who's done local stage shows his entire life, claiming to be an actor, and just never broke beyond a local dinner theater. We've also got old sassy black woman now, so that's fun.
That all said, I'm looking forward to the golem wrecking shit. Hopefully murdering all of these people. Maybe we're getting somewhere eventually, but 6 episodes in to this season we're still barely past the start line. Feels like one of those shows that's going to drag it out until the last 2-3 episodes the series where it all dumps at once.

God damn it don't be screwing everything up, I still haven't watched a single episode of the new season!
