With a little luck, you’ll dismiss
this labor . . . eat, drink, be merry
and most of all sleep well. Then again
there’s a good chance you won’t. This
much I’m certain of: it doesn’t happen
immediately.

You’ll finish binging and
that will be that, until a moment will
come, maybe in a month, maybe a year,
maybe even several years .

. . Out of
the blue, beyond any cause you can
trace, you’ll suddenly realize things
are not how you perceived them to be
at all. For some reason, you will no
longer be the person you believed you
once were.

You’ll detect slow and subtle
shifts going on all around you, shifts
in you, like a shimmer, a vast shimmer,
only dark like a room . . . Old shelters
won’t protect you anymore

. . . You’ll
discover you no longer trust the very
walls you always took for granted . . .
You might try then, as I did, to find a
sky so full of stars it will blind you
again. Only no sky can blind you now

. . . Then no matter where you are,
you’ll watch yourself dismantle every
assurance you ever lived by. You’ll
stand aside as a great complexity
intrudes . . . And for better or worse
you’ll turn, unable to resist

. . . to
face the thing you most dread, what is
now, what will be, what will always come
before, the creature you truly are,
the creature we all are, buried in the
nameless black of a frame. And then the
nightmares will begin.

Yas!

Haha. Yeah. I always saw Johnny as tall and thin from the beginning too. I dig the idea of using the real cam aspect to tell all the stories instead of a book, and I love when Johnny and the others are in Zampano?'s apartment and find the trunk. Its creepy and its done well. The ending is also good, but I don't like how the stories intertwine so soon.

I think there needs to be more focus on Johnny, Lude, WSI in the beginning, though, and Navidson and Karen, I feel, should be introduced slowly. They shouldn't be the main focus until the middle. I don't like how older Johnny is shown so early and I feel his VO should have a stronger presence.

A lot of atmosphere is lost in translation from the book to script. The pilot feels a bit rushed. It's good, it just needs to be reworked.

The teaser, to me, is out of place. I enjoy how the author has become entangled into the nightmare of hallways of always, and haha at the HOL sign, but it doesn't fit. IDK.
