We're halfway through the season, and I must admit, this is one of the most original shows I've ever been obsessed with. We already know who plays who, so let's get down to the nitty-gritty. Last season, I firmly believed that the seer Lottie was The Antler Queen, but with the return of Javi, I'm not so sure anymore. For one, Javi made an intriguing comment in the last episode: "She didn't want me to come back." I'm thinking "she" refers to the infamous shadow in the dark—the one who wears the antlers, thus, the true Antler Queen.
Let's face it, Lottie hasn't embraced that role since last season, and now she's seeing antler shadows, leaving her spooked. Another interesting aspect is how much mystery we're still in. We don't know who else has really survived. We don't know why Van and Taissa aren't together anymore. And we don't know if the coach—who I suspect takes his own life—is still alive. Don't even get me started on the mysterious girl running in the first episode, who fell into a trap of pointy sticks. She's definitely not one of the main characters, but I think she's Mari, who seems visually annoyed by Misty and hasn't been shown alive in the future yet.
Oh, and speaking of Misty—girl, seriously? The last episode was trending last night with speculation that Misty had killed Crystal (the songbird), but that wasn't what happened, at least from what I saw. Yeah, Misty may have threatened it when she admitted to poor Crystal that she was the one who destroyed their one way out via communication. But the girl fell off the cliff as if she didn't remember there was a cliff behind her. I'm sort of bothered that they didn't keep her around, but I suppose there are just too many characters to explore. Not to mention, I don't believe the daughter Shauna has now is the same kid she had in the creepy forest. That was years ago, and her daughter is in high school now. They've mentioned that their lives in the forest were about twenty-five years ago. I just hope they didn't eat the baby like they did Jackie when nature decided to roast her up like a Christmas pig. The only thing missing was an apple.
We're five episodes away, and I can't wait to see more scenes with adult Van—I LOVE her! I also want some questions answered. Who lived in that cabin? Where was Javi? Why is the new Akilah keeping the mouse she found? Is Lottie lying about what happened to adult Travis? I think so. I mean, come on—did y'all see her face after telling that bogus story? What did they bring back? The guy with no eyes? The man who lived in the cabin? Or the true Antler Queen?
