Elias’ perfect delivery of that final line over Melanie’s gentle sobs 🧊 👌

2025-04-29 05:53:34 +0000 UTCWe've got Jealous Martin pining for Jon Elias showing more scary abilities And info that Melanie's father died in Ivy Meadows, the home taken over by the Corruption then burned down. Yeesh

2025-04-03 12:08:31 +0000 UTClol poor Jan. He vanished into something XD

2025-03-06 13:31:43 +0000 UTComg was Melanie's dad in that creepy hospice from... whichever previous episode that was? Oh noooo. (I am still #TeamElias. Honestly he's being very reasonable with someone who tried to kill him twice)

2024-10-22 12:32:27 +0000 UTCACE JON CONFIRMED? *_*

2024-10-22 12:24:30 +0000 UTCHoly hell! This is the first time, I'm actually scared of Elias! Poor Melanie.
Heather MacKenzie
2018-06-21 17:28:54 +0000 UTCWell. All right. Everyone can take on the clowns - but I am now not certain if they could take on Elias ... except Jon. Pretty sure Jon could take Elias. I wonder if those powers cancel each other out though...

2018-06-21 15:23:03 +0000 UTCHoly crap! Elias is terrifying!
Laura Hill
2018-06-21 04:11:21 +0000 UTCElias doesn't like having his monster status challenged, huh?

2018-06-21 00:42:53 +0000 UTCI'm inclined towards "not YET" but I wouldn't rule it out.
Linda Evans
2018-06-20 21:42:57 +0000 UTCWell that was flippin’ amazing. Wonderful statement reading from Lydia, and the rest of the character interaction was a joy. I was horrified, delighted, and horrified again. Thanks.
Joolz
2018-06-20 19:25:37 +0000 UTCI keep telling people. Elias is easily the most frightening character we've met so far.
Keeperofterris
2018-06-20 17:18:09 +0000 UTCWell, Elias just got a whole lot more frightening (and dangerous). Wonder if Jon has a similar skill to what Elias used on Melanie?
Mark Sutton
2018-06-20 14:38:11 +0000 UTCWait. Wait. I just had a relisten and I'd missed one line. Did you just. ((SPOILER)) Thank you so much. I'm asexual (and queer) and I almost started crying at work when I heard this. Thank you SO MUCH for that line. Not only is this show genuinely good, but things like this also make me SO HAPPY!!!

2018-06-20 08:14:33 +0000 UTCHoly shit Elias
stitchwitch
2018-06-20 08:01:40 +0000 UTC*screams and vibrates the whole way through* The statement is amazing, my jaw dropped and my face lit up as I listened to this walking in the street. And then the post-statement segment is an endless rollercoaster of thrill and anguish. I love all of these characters so much! (I even love to be terrified of Elias.)

2018-06-20 07:02:50 +0000 UTCELIAS. ELIAS NO. ELIAS STAHP.

2018-06-20 06:20:36 +0000 UTCThat was such a wild ride, my god. Definitely a new fave. And amazing performances all around!

2018-06-20 02:47:37 +0000 UTCCan I give a shout-out to the ladies chatting and having a good time before everything went to hell? I loved that scene.

2018-06-20 01:36:45 +0000 UTCElias, you unbelievable bastard. The Daedalus was a red herring. Melanie’s father having dementia hit a nerve with me (it’s what killed my mother) and was far more horrifying than anything else in the episode. Also, Ivy effing Meadows. Holy shit indeed.
Gilligan Mungus
2018-06-20 01:12:14 +0000 UTCWell now, Elias just got approximately 50x scarier. Is it really wrong to sympathise with his position a smidge, though?
Linda Evans
2018-06-19 23:54:24 +0000 UTCcosmic horror, canon queerness, and ben's sinister voice = this episode is my favourite.
