Accidental Martyr

The actor playing Montez seems to be really overdoing it, to me.

This show is veering farther into fantasy land.

I also thought there was some sort of time travel going on at first, but how would the guy from the lodge have recognized him?

Wasn’t the guy that spoke to Dud one of the guys from the lodge that recently lost his job at that factory (or whatever it is)?

I’m curious to see how “Captain” fits into all of this.

How was the issue of the farm worker identifying John as the person who put the bike in the pond resolved?

I think it said “CALL MOM”. I can’t believe those girls moved the body and sat it up in that alley with no one seeing them. I still want to know how Camille carved words on her back.

What was going on with Connie when she looked to be having some kind of attack then took off and apparently went to sleep in the backseat of her car?

I had the same thought. Some info here: https://www.campussafetymagazine.com/hospital/when_does_hipaa_allow_hospitals_give_patient_health_information_to_police/

If high school in the late 90s=old AF then I might as well be dead. ;) (mid-80s)

All of the hidden words can be seen here. http://www.vulture.com/2018/08/sharp-objects-all-the-hidden-words-you-missed.html

In an earlier episode Camille asked Ashley why she was wearing her cheerleader uniform even though school was out. Later, though, we see Amma and the other kids rehearsing for the play and it looks like they’re in some sort of drama class in school. When she is talking to the teacher we hear a bell ring.

John Keene was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. I would be near death wearing that.

The way It Follows seemed unattached to a certain time period is one of the things that really struck me about the film. The director talks about it in this interview. https://film.avclub.com/david-robert-mitchell-on-his-striking-new-horror-film-1798277440 Edit: I see Peach already linked to this interview.

According to IMDb, it’s Keene. I still don’t see how Camille carved the words on her back.

I thought he took the $3000 loan from the pawn shop guy, gave part to his sister to help pay back what he already owed her, then used $2000 for the “membership fee”.

Here’s the dialogue: Sheriff: But you're gonna be goin' home tomorrow. Dick: Oh, yeah? Why is that? Sheriff: Mexican worker at the hog farm ID'ed Keene as the guy who dumped the bike in the lagoon. https://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=sharp-objects-2018&episode=s01e06

I would have to go back and watch the scene, but after the bike was found the sheriff told Dick something like, “Your job here is finished. One of the Mexican workers says he saw John Keene put the bike in the pond.”

I have the same feeling.

I wish they would completely retool the show and make it about Diana.

I think I would be pretty alarmed and panicked if someone came into my business and pointed a gun at the people there.

I definitely got the impression that they were both still in high school.

He bit his own hand at the end of the last episode when he was muffling a scream.

I’m pretty sure that was Marian.

That seemed like a reference to Apocalypse Now.
