Also, just wondering, because I couldn't find your original post, what's the deal with your comment regarding women/girls saving themselves in movies since 1985? Was there a specific movie that happened in, and everything has followed that pattern since? I'm old enough to remember those movies, I'm just curious as to which one started in - you are so right, of course!

No, not a specific movie. But in the horror films prior to the eighties it seemed that a woman would be in distress and rescued at the last minute by a heroic man. Then somewhere around the era of Jamie Lee Curtis, she'd fight for her own survival at the end. We haven't reached the stage yet where a woman could rescue a man being chased by a serial killer.

I don't think the eyepatch taxi driver has much significance other than possibly being one of the wounded from the original day of the boat explosions. Like the Log Lady on Twin Peaks, I would like to have seen more of these local characters.

Someone described a vidcap where Shea has a gun on Wakefield, with Madison there, where Wakefield has a hold of Danny. Is that true? Both Shea and Madison must survive that incident to arrive with Sully down at the motor boat later and Wakefield must survive it to barge in on Trish wearing the wedding dress. The only one who probably doesn't survive that is Danny.

Whoever Wakefield's biological child is, Abby, Henry, Shea or someone else actually doesn't mean that person is Wakefield's assistant. Wakefield's assistant just may have mutually beneficial interests or be partners in killing without a biological connection. Or, Wakefield's son might be the other killer. I just don't think that Wakefield's child is automatically the killer.

Abby may end up being Wakefield's biological child, but the Sherrif was saying, like all loving adoptive parents, "you're my child". In any event, I expect that the Wakefield child and story line to be wrapped up in Episode 12 with Wakefield's death. Episode 13 will wrap up the other story with the Wellingtons and the missing money, the eternal final chase scene between Abby and the other killer and the explanation for this whole thing.

Whether Henry or someone else is the murderer isn't as important to me as we get a really good solution. That would leave me more satisfied than just another standard horror movie chase scene through the forest, the lighthouse and the maze.



From the preview above. What are they seeing?

What is Abby shouting at?

Jimmy knows how to tie hanging ropes, but anyone who works with boats would know knots. Henry would know them too from the summers he worked on the Island.




Since Danny isn't in these pics, this is probably while he is "guarding" Wakefield. The others go up high to make a distress signal perhaps?

Perhaps they spot the boat Sully will eventually try to escape with Madison and Shea with.

Henry is holding back on his sharpshooting skills. My fear is he will successfully shoot and kill one or more or all of people in the boat.

When people are around cliffsides it is just an invitation for one of the characters to fall off of one or be pushed off one. In the same way Wakefield fell off the cliff but didn't die, it is sort of a set up for a false death for the killer or one of his victims. For example, in movie convention, Henry pushes Jimmy off the cliff and we all think he is dead and then Jimmy rescues Abby in the nick of time and they grab Madison and Gigi and leave the island together.
