I'd never heard of this before discovering this thread, and my first thought was I didn't have the energy to do another Lost/The Leftovers kind of mystery but I watched the first episode and got hooked.

I think I paused at some point in episode 5 last night.  

It's apparently a lot easier to build a world like this than it is to provide an explanation for it that really satisfies, so we'll see.  But I'm looking forward to watching more of it this evening.

Also, I'll be very interested to learn why the priest was burying chocolate.

All I know is I'd spend every day setting a new trap for those creatures until I had exhausted everything.  Douse with gas and ignite, chop in half, crush with log, trap in a pit, etc.  Seems these people just shot them a couple of times and said "oh well, they're indestructible".

Yeah, seems like a dead drop would be useful for snaring a few.  You'd at least find out if they can fly or jump crazy heights.  

I'd guess that shapeshifters could probably turn into whatever they need to in order to escape traps but you're right, they're certainly not taking the fight to the creatures.  Or aliens, which seems to me the most logical theory.

Forgive me for getting off topic but this is what I thought when they finally showed one of the aliens' weakness in a quiet place.

Spoiler

If only there were a way to pretty quickly kill a few  blind creatures that can't swim and also sprint headlong toward any loud noises.

I am glad to watch it. From has maybe 3 interesting characters while Lost started with 10.

Well I got through the finale with the lighthouse and the foghorns.

The voice on the radio creeped me the fuck out.  That was one of the most legit scary moments in a movie/tv series I've ever seen.  Very, very well done!

You're talking about the finale of s1, right?

Yesterday was better than the week before, which is to say it could fog a mirror.  I would not have guessed Tech-jerk and Weirdo make a better couple than that girl and Peppermint Patty.  Sheriff Lost + deputy, okay.  I kinda forgot why little damsel murdered someone she just seems like another helpless damsel.

I'm only on the 2nd episode of season 2, but did Sheriff Boyd ever bother asking who or what threw the rope down to him?

And did that entire dungeon just disappear when he walked "out the door?"  

This season has gotten way more "Lost-ish" in a hurry.

Does anybody want me to spoiler tag theories regarding episodes that have aired?

I'll do it this time, but not in the future unless someone makes a case for it:

Spoiler

So the aliens... they used to be ordinary people, right?  That's why they have our mummified remains inside them, save possibly bile?  That's why they're wearing uniforms indicating different jobs, and from a long time ago, as well?  There's the old fashioned mechanics outfit, the old nurse's uniform, and so on.  So it seems they were captures and made into vampire-like puppets--actually, zombie puppets would be more accurate.
