I though the people "returning" had all died 4 years earlier...

if it's set now (which i think it is) then that bloke who looks like he's in a new york new wave band died 10 years ago, didn't he? we saw him looking at his own headstone...

i don't have any theories yet, only thoughts.

1) so far two living people have died directly or indirectly as a result of those returning - the barmaid, and the old man. is there a price/exchange?

2) is the little boy a returnee or an agent of the return? if the former, given his returning to that woman and her not knowing who he is, maybe he's an abortion or miscarriage she had in the past?

C'EST TOUT, FOLKS!

Yes, that New York indie band bloke (Simon?) - his gravestone had his death as in 2002.

Regarding the barmaid who got stabbed to death in the subway- in the trailer for the series (from your link ) you see for a brief second a clip of what looks like her, looking (shocked) at numerous stab wounds on her body.So i assume she returns at some point too.

i think i got this idea from 'pushing daisies' - the last episode of which was shown four years ago today.

blinkin' 'eck. where does the time go, eh?

*stares forlornly out of window*

that was only a YEAR ago?! it feels like forever. when i'm pissed i'm moved and electrified by elo/olivia newton john's xanadu.

the man who designed that petally torch has got something in the honours list today.

things i've watched this week: secret life of cats (good), poirot (quite poor, but riddled with pretty girls in enviable period frocks).

i think i will probably go and see joss whedon's much ado, but through narrowed, deeply suspicious eyes. i am still smarting from 'the cabin in the woods' fiasco. apparently his take on this play is ideal for "anyone who's ever been frustrated by the lack of fingering in shakespeare".

So that woman looking at her stab wounds in the trailer that i thought was the barmaid come back to life, returned, wasn't the barmaid but the woman involuntarily finding herself looking after the annoying Victor boy? So there's two women with stab wounds?


As the oven chips in the McAins advert say, I am lost 'ere

Well they said in episode two yesterday that the barmaid isn't actually dead, just in a reeallly bad way. So we could yet see her looking at her wounds/scars if she recovers (or dies and returns). And as the 'murdery one' is "back" and is a serial attacker, it would make sense that more than one woman has been stabbed etc. I'm not convinced that the attacker is actually the guy they suspect though; that would be too easy. In fact I think we already saw the guy who attacked the barmaid didn't we?

Further hints to support my "dam bursting and drowning the town into purgatory" theory: I noticed in last nights opening credits that we see a drowned deer bobbing around under water. Strange gurgling noises and a sink filling up with water from the drain. And also the logo or "ident" (as they say in TV-land) for the show is an image of people reflecting back differently in water. (I'm pretty sure the stabbed woman in this picture is the barmaid isn't it?)

yeah, that's the barmaid. and he is a serial attacker/killer, so there will be more than one woman damaged by him. the bloke what done it walloped the police suspect with a spade, after having been walloped himself, didn't he? presumably they're brothers?

the purgatory/whole town wiped out by burst dam theory *would* make sense of the (newly dead?) population being reunited with the long dead, and the long dead being the same age as when they popped their clogs.

not convinced yet though. very, very interested to see how it will unfold...

ah, mais oui. c'est possible.

(i liked how all the adverts in the breaks had french subtitles.)

Ah oui, je comprendez maintenant, merci. C'est non difficile.
Mais oui, Madame

Zuit allors!
