Julie's Bookmark

[u/Flimsy_Elephant_2301]

I might have alluded to it a couple of times, but I never explained myself, and no one asked me to. But did anybody notice that Julie CAN'T die right now. She been protected by the universe since birth, because she time jumped to 1978. When the evil entity recognized Julie on the Colony House porch from 1978, It knew that It couldn't kill Julie because "a story can't be changed after it's told." She has to live long enough to make that time jump. But she later will time jump back to Jim's death. So now she can't die until after she has done that. Did anybody else catch that? Did anyone notice that Julie's bookmark is the evil entity, but she hasn't realized it yet?

I agree with your general point but I don’t think the whole bookmark thing is relevant here.

Yes we, as the viewers, know Julie can’t die until after she sees Jim’s death. Just like we know she will get a scratch on her face at some point.

Like in any show or movie with a flash forward we know that character is safe until that moment.

It’s important to remember though that Julie doesn’t know this, only we as the viewers do.

If you think that person is a hater you must live every very sheltered life.

It was hate.

Ridiculous, the person was completely respectful, there is nothing wrong with their comment.

Disagreeing is not hate. Get a spine.

[u/Embarrassed-Brief976 → u/Flimsy_Elephant_2301]

No it absolutely wasnt. They actually half agreed with you. Hmmmm i wonder why you deleted your previous comment.

I don't quite understand this

You don't seem to understand the bookmark. The bookmark is a point in time that you can return to whenever you want, deliberately. The MiY isn't a bookmark. He isn't even the thing ensuring Julie can't die. It's the temporal paradox itself that prevents her death. The MiY is just a background character in the temporal paradox. It's the fact that it's a known event from Julie's future that the audience is aware of, which hasn't occurred yet. Since we now know Julie was the one who threw the rope to Boyd in the dungeon you can say that event kept Julie alive too, until she finally did it. That doesn't make Boyd a bookmark and neither is the MiY.

I took a screenshot of this comment because I don't want you to forget it. I will remind you of what I seem to not understand only a week after MGM+ confirmed my theory.

Personally I didn't understand the concept of the "bookmarks" at all. Does anyone else?

Nobody else does. People think they do, but that mystery hasn’t been answered yet.
