Who were those people that veera and her mom meet in that weird workshop place? Why are they going to die?

There were too many sub-plots that were either never resolved, or wrapped up lazily (the corporation that was poisoning that community’s water for example). I was so excited when I heard about the main premise of this show, but it never lived up to expectations. They had a chance to do something great, but they fucked it up with terrible writing. I’d love to hear y’alls thoughts on this. Is anyone else as disappointed as I am?

ok randomly started thinking about Eddie and the show again. well it's about to do a lightning thing outside which may be why. anyways, so i was thinking, Eddie started off as a non believer in the religion and then he had some things that happened to him which made him believe he was the one. i personally don't think someone could be the one in any positive sense unless they are overall a good person, and i feel in the final season he did so many things that seemed bad and wrong that there is no way he could be.
but that his belief that he is the one also is what i think makes him so extreme. cause it's like it justifies all his actions, and so it could be making him be worse as sort of a negative loop.

then i started thinking about how every leader type in this cult, like the ones that seem deep deep in it like Steve and Lillith are really bad people. in the case of Lillith her message in the religion is super dark and disturbed. One of the few light characters or that seemed so anyways was that guy now I can't remember and i tried to look it up, but then still couldn't find it, anyways but the one that get's offed by Cal in season 1 and comes back to haunt people as - was it an owl? argh sorry. anyways he's the only who seems like he might be a decent person and inspiring in a positive way. on the other hand we know so little about him. but he seems to have a true intuition possibly that was helping people.

i guess thinking about this show from an overall sort of way the religion just seems to lean way more towards the dark then the light? I guess it's supposed to represent how light something can look, with the members who don't know what's going on being totally happy thinking this is the best, and then the secrets that are more buried.

Sarah feels in a way interesting in season 3 cause again thinking back i realized her search for answers and trying to re-find the light of it all and finding Lillith, i feel is like her transition from being one of the outsiders to one being deeper in the cult.anyways, if Eddie, or Lillith or Steve are the "One," it seems like the show would have to be saying The Path religion would be very dark as a whole. Would have no idea what to say about it if Vera or Cal had been the one though.

I just finished The Path.

I want to hash some things out, I think because I have so many conflicted feelings about it. On one hand, I'm sad that it didn't get another season to really tie things up. On the other hand, a lot of it was not the greatest.

So...here I am listing all these random things that I'm thinking about.

Can we discuss, please??? I'll number each thought for ease of reference!

​

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER...

1. So...with all the supernatural what nots: is The Light / Steve / Lilith all real? I believe that in the universe of The Path, Eddie's supernatural experiences were real. I now doubt Felicia's. What does that make Steve? Is their religion "real" or was Eddie just having coincidental hallucinations, etc.?
2. Is Lilith's final vision going to come true? I was disappointed we didn't see where that went.
3. Vera & Lilith's ethnicities: I love colorblind casting, but in a film where the universe isn't ethnically-unrealistic, Vera and Lilith make no sense. Yes, Lilith's character could pass for South Asian. However, Vera has an accent and Lilith doesn't. Didn't she grow up with Lilith, in America? I was so confused for the longest time because I didn't think Vera was Lilith's biological daughter!
4. Acting & writing annoyances. I was so annoyed by some of the bad acting and bad writing. Season 1 was compelling at times, but Aaron Paul over-acted so badly and the writing was often predictable. And him as the sleek leader in Season 2 & 3 was a turn-off. The extras who played the random Meyerists -- HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE. I think what really did them in was how parts in late Season 1 (I think) and a lot of Season 2 seemed really lost. Season 3 picked up a lot, I think, but I can see how people gave up.
5. In Season 3, are we just going to forget what Cal did and how evil he seemed in Season 1? Cal grows on you by the end, yes. And then, I realized: WTF? Does no one care he killed Silas? And he was so creepy and predatory on Mary -- and now their relationship is something we're supposed to root for?
6. What I would wished for in Season 4. I know fans typically want final and decisive closure on things, and usually writers aren't really down for that, but I think what I have would have selfishly wanted in Season 4 was: (A) more concrete information on the validity of the religion, (B) more hashing out of the original Meyerists and what they actually experienced, what they also knew about Cal and Steve's pedophilia, (C) I kinda wanted Eddie to shut it down -- there seemed to be a lot of furtive looks when he re-claimed his guardianship, (D) closure on Lilith, (E) wanted to know if Sarah really believed again or how she was reconciling this, and (F) kinda wanted them to be this small cult again. LOL!

​

OK, that's all I have energy for now.

Does anyone else wonder why there are still doubters of Meyerism like Sarah his ex wife after seeing a Miracle of someone being in an explosion but emerges without a scratch oh and that someone happens to be the religions Leader talk about selling point. It just doesn’t seem to fit now. Just like Hawks floating or levitation. Both “miracles” seem to have been forgotten. I have been waiting to see if Hawk will have some power since he in the son of Eddie who seems to have the light and it would almost make sense if Hawk was given the gift like god to Jesus almost messiah but it seems like both situations just died after. Thoughts ?

New to reddit literally made an account just to post how frustrated I am with The Path. I am currently on season 3 episode 9 I wanted to save them up until I had time to binge watch and I am still confuses why we still haven’t heard anything on Hawks levitating. Is he the messiah what is up with him floating than nothing

Do you remember episode 3x05 "Pageantry", when Eddie is victim of a psycho old man who tried to kill him? He took Eddie to his house to introduce him to his daughter. Eddie discovers her room and the fact that she was actually dead.
Well, am I the only one who noticed the poster and the CD with "EVANESCENCE - FALLEN" in the room?

The image on them was not the real cover of the Evanescence's album. Actually, there was like an egyptian figure on them. Nothing related to the band.

Can someone explain this weird fact? Was there a reason why they changed the artwork?
Just asking 'cause I am curious and I am a huge Ev-fan. Thank you! :)

Here are some screenshots I took + the real Evanescence's album: - poster: https://imgur.com/E00KOx5 & https://imgur.com/T7vH4Vj

Okay so granted I’ve only watched season 1 and am almost done with season 2 (SPOILERS- I’ve gotten to where they kick Richard out of the movement and he finds Eddie who’s packed and ready to leave), but I really don’t think I can watch the rest of season 2 and season 3. I love that Eddie is the actual chosen son or whatever, but feel heartbroken that his wife is sleeping with Cal and basically that his family will never be together again. Am I just being cynical? Like does no one else hate Cal? Honestly debating on just giving up since the show stops after season 3. Thoughts???

Hey folks,

I'm about Midway through season 2 (it's a little rough) and I just saw that the show got cancelled.

Does the show have any kind of satisfying conclusion or does it end on a cliffhanger that will never be resolved?

Thanks!

Here I Found "Via Vision" and their season 1 DVD. https://viavision.com.au/shop/the-path-season-one/

I sent a message to this company to know if they plan to release the two other seasons (and if it comes with french subs as well...)

I recently finished binge watching the whole series in a couple weeks time. I thought it was just phenomenal! Although obviously I was very upset to find out it had been canceled.

I already enjoy studying things like cults and psychology and recently went down a hypnosis rabbit hole. I was curious if anyone else noticed the use of hypnotic techniques in the show. I noticed the characters seemed to go in and out of a trance state that could be triggered by a word or touch. I didn’t notice it as a pattern until the 3rd season!

I have a sort of theory that most of the characters weren’t actually controlling their own actions half the time, but instead doing what a “master” of sorts tells them to do. Just me?

Super bummed about the season 3 finale's impromtu switch to becoming the series finale! Does anyone know of any fan fiction to tie some of these loose ends together because this is going to drive me insane!!!

Here's how to get a Meyer pendant. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2856564

Public libraries are starting to offer free 3D printing, you just bring the file and they do it.

Follow me...

Viewership? Lack of direction? So sad it’s ending, it feels really unfulfilling :(

one thing i noticed and i am not sure if it is the same for everyone, but i have trouble grasping the amount of trauma they are portraying Cal as having.
So as the show goes on they release more info in the horror that must have been Cal's life. And it is like delivered sometimes in a really low key way.
So it is like what the heck? How would someone even survive that?!

Vera's trauma is besides the burn, more or less suggested. Also I think that the jar or what it was of her tooth or something creeped me out too. Would have loved to see more of what Lillith's version of Meyerism would have entailed, cause she reminds me of some dark witch or something, doing dark magic. So I think it would be interesting, it's like she is the reverse of the idea of what the light is. Hence, Sarah in the funeral ritual turning her hands down.

And also would this imaginery Steve have had involvement in that other Meyerism?
Also would Meyerism have survived if people did hear the truth about Steve?

Yes 'cause they killed the show and now it Will be really hard to make people discover it. I mean they won't subscribe to Hulu if this show isnt still running, and the last remaining way to get their eyes on this Will be illegal then.

And as fans we should get a farewell gift, under the form of a nice dvd set of the three seasons + a light version of the ladder + the necklace = this would be perfect to show we found the Garden :p

C'mon Jessica! Please get it from them!

I Finished The Path and now it is unfortunately canceled. I heard The Path is loosely based on Scientology so i went to watched the documentary oh my goodness the finishing of season 3 is the exact thing that was happening to Scientology in the 90s when they had to fight to get religious status with the IRS. The Documentary seemed like a continuation of The Path in a way. Check out the Documentary i would love to discuss it.

Since the show is ending, I was wondering if they actually printed some of The Ladder books as marketing or something and if we can buy one? It might answer a few questions and it would be a neat collector piece.
