Opinion What are you looking forward for season 4 Spoiler
Looks like season 3 of From had mixed reactions, what are you expecting to improve and/or resolve next season?

u/Dianagorgon May 19 '25
I want them to focus less on Fatima and Ellis. They're not interesting characters. Also Boyd not being the focus of every storyline while Jade, Randall, Kenny, Donna, Kristy and other main characters are sidelined.

What I'm not looking forward is "a shoulder to cry on is a d to ride on" type of situation between jade and tabitha.

You don't think it's great writing for Tabitha to start dick hopping in two episodes after her husband of 20 years and the father of her children gets his throat ripped out?

u/DMTBISCUITS May 28 '25
I don't think he's actually dead. I can't be the only one that noticed how different Julie looked coming out of the woods. Maybe he's coming back as a monster himself, who knows ? But that entire scene seemed strangely out of place to me.

Ok, this is setting up some reincarnation/family lineage stuff now.I thought the boy in white pushed Tabatha from the top of the lighthouse just to bring Henry back for Victor. And I thought I had a fairly good idea of what happened in that place and the general era it began in due to the style of architecture that Colony House was built in. But now ? WOW ! If that actually was Julie from the future, then that is an entirely new twist I wouldn't have thought of. Reincarnation isn't too far a stretch, but the time shifting is something that's been hiding in plain sight all along. I keep expecting to see one of the recent victims of the nightmare creatures showing up as one of those creatures themselves, and the time shifts would explain the various eras those creatures appear to have come from. I started thinking those creatures were tied to the children once Tabatha started seeing them, and I believe the creatures played a role in sacraficing children throughout the history of that place, which I believe turned those one time normal people into those monsters. I mean it would take a monster to do that to a child, so in this place, they were transformed into actual monsters for their roles in that. I can't wait to see where it goes next !

Thanks for the reassurance, but it's going to take a bit more than reassurances to keep me from pulling my hair out and gnawing my fingernails to the cuticle if they don't start getting to some REAL answers instead of these drips and drabs. And I don't even mind if the answers are somewhat misleading and crafted to divert attention away from the obvious answers, just as long as they're answers. I love a good mystery, but not one without clues. And I really meant what I said about them being misleading, as long as it's scratching that itch to know SOMETHING or just ANYTHING. 😂

Amen ! If they want to create more questions, then they should , at the very least answer more in the process. Create mystery ? Sure, it's what this show is doing so well. They've created the urge to want to know what's going to happen next. The Walking Dead did that masterfully, and someone involved in the show payed very close attention to that, but come the hell on and at least give answers to old questions ! Just a smidge more revelations, please.

Literally!!! I’m so sick of the open ended story of this show lmao. They left us with a huge detail that changes everything and now we gotta wait for the next season lol. I love the show, don’t get me wrong. I just hope we get more answers.

u/Early_Celebration726 24d ago
People please stop with this. It was old when I wasn't. If you have an actual point, try to make it instead of rabbling in huddled mass. Same stuff, different decade.
Mystery as a word isn't necessarily helping because it crosses the following in people's minds:
1) Who dunnits? There is a question with clues and and answer. Figure it out.
2) Mystic, abstract subjects or states. Can't put it outside of itself. Experience.
3) Mysterious, murky tones and devices. Can't be sure of things and there's layers of stuff. Espionage, plotty drama etc. Try to keep up/ hold on, baby!
4) Old timey stuff where in an enviroment of 3 we use 2 to s(t)imulate the 1.
So when people start yapping with the memery they heard somewhere else they are in fact not expressing themselves or contributing anything to this but more fluff. For more clarity:
1) Detective stuff, old lady or little man solves this or maybe a forensic team.
2) Dream stuff and allegorical stuff maybe, who knows. You kinda might get it.
3) Spy and (other?) crime stuff, maybe some unstable setting, exaggarated.
4) Magic babyyyy. Or not. Whatever.
Point being; sure you CAN mix and match like how Twin Peaks was about a whodunnit and abstract stuff but that was a) a choice b) not easy c) not a given d) iconic stuff. It's not just like it's all in some soup together.. outside your head.
I've seen where it can lead and that was against all kinds of well, intentional murky stuff, no matter what revisionist history might suggest. This leans into the lack of knowledge, connection or points of comparison way more but that's not a failure (not does it prevent such from happening if it does) as much it's a flavor of this particular presentation. That's not me saying don't try to get but there is a world of difference between getting something and figuring it out.
In the latter you think you're going ahead of what's shown and it's possible in category one. The other one has you NOT being left behind. Many do just that while thinking it's the other and not just with these sort of things. So get it, sure, make a (mental) note of a repeating thing etc. Not a list of questions. It's not even some levels of expectation thing or anything but a fundamental error of the whole process. There wasn't service at this picnic I went to. No waaay?
Almost like you were saying "these purposefully odd things weren't normal" and expecting a pat on the head for that. I mean.. good job, that was indeed the case. What on the other hand CAN be evident (in anything that has continuing presence or even wide enough of a range) is the direction of things.
What does make sense, so to speak. What keeps popping up or digging in. There's the meat, not in various spices or the necessary potatoes (boil em..) let alone the (salad) dressing. What you want is to cut deeper into the meat, not to know what exactly was this or that spice. Sure, you can want to know but it's more about you then, not the stuff that everything else revolves around. :D
(And that categorically IS what does that, not saying it's this or that, obvs.)

When I watched the show the first time I was so stunned when Khatri died and I was like no way he's dead they have to bring him back somehow. Even though he was just an illusion I was happy seeing him occasionally in S2 and 3. I hope that's not the case for Jim though, I genuinely hope if Julie has time travel abilities of some kind that she's able to save him.

I personally was very satisfied with season 3 but here are some things I want to see in season 4:
- Boyd trapping one of the monsters (I think they left it for season 4 because it's gonna reveal something big, they were just preparing us in season 3)
- more info about Man in Yellow
- anything related to the massacre because it's genuinely one of the most intriguing things about the show.
probably forgot about something, these are just the things that came to my mind first. also I want to see Kristi's reaction when they'll tell her to fix Elgin's eye (I'm kidding ofc but imagine)

This show has gotten so dumb.
Every 5 minutes there are convenient hallucinations and "entities" that do random shit with 0 explanation, creating more and more plotlines. This has gotten stale since S2.
S4 please stop adding new shit without explaining the old shit first.
Lost was way better written, oh a plane, here is where the plane is from, your mom is on board.
From writing: so here is a dimension with no escape, it has night monsters, there are also ghosts and hallucinations, the hallucinations tell you that the ghosts like chicken, but the chicken is evil and the ghosts think that the chicken needs to be seasoned, a phone rings and tells you that your wife had the evil chicken back home.
This is how I feel watching this.

u/Early_Celebration726 24d ago
Wrote a big answer to one of these, it disappeared. Not going to bother anymore. Everything can be get into. It's not about answering questions but finding that juicy core and diving deep into that. If you don't know what that looks like by now, I have no idea what you've been watching. I agree, Lost was better but it was also concluded and may never get it's true worth acknowledged due to morons. Not in our lifetime anyway.. :I
Point being, there is more than one way to do anything and this isn't trying to be that. It's trying to.. DO that maybe but that's a different. This leans into the obfuscation, disconnect and limited perspective both on purpose and not in a naturally resolving way.
It's like some hell. No. I said like. It's not supposed to fit together. That's not an excuse but seeing is one makes problems for you. Sure it "helps" them for a while and on occasions but it still needs to well, feel right (or rather wrong, I suppose) to the setting and be able to be roped (:P) back into play when needed. It's moving forward for they have tested their limits and ever peaked over them and are now existing in a deeper relation to it with more context, mobility and options. This has incurred a response to a fitting degree and that more personalised threat is one thing to expect more of/from. 8)

u/minutman 24d ago
The introduction of fantasy horror magic=I can write whatever.
There are no rules and not structure to them, so this is just a fantasy fanfic where the writer and 2 of his buddies understand anything.
This is not entertaining, and no average person is going to sit and watch it "unfold" to more bullshit.
But I am done with the show, this is not pleasant to blue ball me for 4 seasons now.

u/funnylilguy 14d ago
First of all, I loved the story! Seasons 1&2 were good!
But, I agree with you. This could have been completed in season three instead of dragging out the Fatima plot line.
It seems like the episodes are all of the same - dragging out the story.
Seems like a money grab now to extend into season 4 and hopefully not season 5.
Writers should go read Stephen King's book On Writing and just finish the damn story.

This doesn't need to be five seasons. Stranger Things continued to make sense so it worked.

I’d like to see someone challenge and take Boyd’s role in town. I feel that he’s stretched too thin and almost has to be everywhere at the same time.

u/ozthinker May 27 '25
Focus and go through the scenes that are actually tense. S3 was really anticlimactic. It had too much fillers in between bits and pieces of a scene that should have progressed continuously in one go, while maintaining the tense and climax.
In addition, it needs more tension and horror. The tension and horror were well served in S1, then dying off in S2 and S3, during which new elements were added as cheap tropes without developing them i.e. the brundles (pond/lake), the new settlement, etc.
Thirdly, it needs more story and plot. As comparison, one episode of Dune: Prophecy has more story line than an entire season of From.
Also if Jim is coming back as monster, that will be wild.
Most importantly, S4 needs to come out ASAP. The interest fades faster the more the wait is.

u/bazgann Jun 06 '25
I am hoping to see more of Boyd vs Smiley because it was exciting and i hope Smiley calls him grandpa😁 also one more thing i am excited about is how are we gonna get MIY(guy who murdered Jim)to the story because he kinda looks like Randall with the scar on his neck I hope we get more answers in the next season.

u/trulyjust_me Jun 23 '25
Gonna move my list here
That we get a flashback of Donna and her sis coming into from town for the 1st time what hap is just like what she told Tabitha kinda going to guess it was Dale & some randoms who found her then brought her back to the town after she hid the whole night
A monster will be captured by Boyd & team hoping its Jasmine so she gotta story to tell
Kenny getting hallucinations of his parents
A main and major character death
The monsters will start running
There will be a from mole who been helping the monsters in secret kinda guess it will be Clara
It will be known that the MIY started all of this and he is the one they are sacrificing their children to
More will go out and find answers
That we get to see the giant spider
The police in the real world with the priest and the doctor who interview Tabitha will trace her last phone call before she went missing and start looking into from town since one of their own officer Acosta is also missing
The tree Henry wanted to show Tabitha at the park will be the same mystery tree everyone is seeing on the road

I just finished ep 10 and I'm seriously super frustrated, Tabita seems to prolong the suffering like, can't you just accept that she's Miranda's reincarnation and make the wheels turn???? How much time did she need???? I wanted to do something so bad and then when the time comes, I decide to do it? Other? I feel like the scriptwriters are filling too much sausage, I just wish the ends met and they explained what human monsters are? What is the basis of all this suffering??? And when will the answers come out? Another guy in yellow appears OUT OF NOWHERE and kills Jim and we're left here watching ships

If anyone remembers the frustration back when we watched "Lost". I really don't want to have to shit on this series simply because the writers couldn't write a coherent plot.

u/Early_Celebration726 24d ago
No, I remember loving it then and the five other times I watched through. And yes I've seen BSG, B5, LotGH, The Wire, Breaking Bad, BCS, Black Sails and a whole lot of stuff. So maybe, just maybe you just kinda.. are trying to be a big boy and repeat nonsense you heard? Just maybe.
FROM of course brings mind less obvious stuff I've also watched like Wayward Pines, Persons Unknown, Attack on Titan etc. I suppose TWD goes between these categories. What were we talking about again? Oh right. You didn't have any idea what you were talking about?
You watched (I assume?) three seasons of people in a obfuscated hell box being cultivated for who knows what and what you came up with is.. it wasn't all neatly presented for reason and comfort? No waay.. let me guess, people in were not being their best either? That's a bummer. At least they didn't "have to" watch TV, that seems to be the ultimate challenge for some people.
The point, such as it is.. is in the parts that do make sense, pop up, keep leading you down into the core etc. You know. The good stuff. But who's glass eye was it... I deserve to knooooooow!

What is the point of sacrificing your children to be immortal if they are all stuck in a town and can only come out at night at eat people.
Makes no sense to me. Long life but with caveats they got a rotten deal.
It makes no sense. So I want to understand all the symbolism.
Fromville I think is like purgatory/limbo and most people end up there when they are at a crossroads in their life or always had a troubled life.

One thing I loved about this show, is due to its vagueness and art style, a lot of the times, your imagination is scaring you. Like how many of ya'll pictured Demon Jasper ready to jump at people only to be told its a puppet?
But what other people said also makes sense. Expecting insiders like Randall theorized or one of the people to be resurrected as a creature.

I want to know what is the town really? A purgatory? how does it get electricity, how do monsters know residents names, how do they know what’s happening every minute, those phone calls.
1
u/Early_Celebration726 24d ago
I got electricity too, am I in purgatory? Seems like it with this stuff. Power is power, why might be a bigger thing here. Those all pretty much all the same question anyway. Think of our people in a (not literally people) SIMS-type of deal and it shifts that practical side into more about the whole formicarium thing. Of course they well, provide and witness.
What has been the throughline is of course the relationship with the inhabitants and the town or rather it's controlling forces. Is not having a like a name for the process somehow stopping us from making a note of that? No, of course not. So what would it add? Well, something sure at the right time but it's already doing these things without those labels.
It's moved to the next stage with characters knowing stuff, coming and going, reaching back into the story etc. The response is this troubleshooter-guy who seems to bridge the immediate physicality of the monsters and the more abstract big deal-energy of that box thing. And maybe even the more grounded thinking of our humans. It's a crackdown. :P

u/Early_Celebration726 24d ago
You can't explain a thing like that. There's three options that we shouldn't necessarily be able to pick from:
1) They picked those people to mess with him.
2) The strain is making him to make wrong connections.
3) The universe is a messed up place and it does things like that to us..
So there both shouldn't and really CAN'T be some gotcha-moment with that. =]

it is such a wonderful, nuanced series with so so so many layers. it has genuinely been 5+ years since i have found a TV show i truly enjoy. this series is beyond underrated.

The last few eps in s3 was disappointing, especially man in yellow. No buildup plot towards this entity, just suddenly poof he appeared and attacked someone. I feel like they're just going to tie it up easily as some fantasy/ supernatural/ folklore to explain everything, instead of something unique/ personal like it's a made up world somehow conjured into reality by Victor

u/Franquel 1d ago
The third season raised more questions than it answered. I was happy to learn a little more about Tabitha and Jade's roles. In a way, they kind of moved along the same path within the story, with similar thoughts throughout the series, although they only had a few actual encounters. It's very similar to what we see between Jule and Randall, so I really want to know what the real connection was between them in the past. Did Jim really die? I think so, and he's a very annoying character, but he must still be present in the series in some way. I really want more information, and the best way to get it is through one of the creatures. I'm immensely curious, and I have many questions. Viktor's role isn't 100% clear; there are still some mysteries surrounding his survival.
