i really appreciate how everyone in the edge of sleep actually look like they haven’t slept in ages.

the makeup department really hit it out of the park in that regard. the dark eyebags and pale sunken faces are SO on point.

you just don’t get that kind of commitment in mainstream film/television, which makes me all the more appreciative of the people who choose to do it

Questions post-release of The Edge of Sleep

Is the dog okay? Did the dog also get possessed? Or are dogs exempt from sleep death and brain branding? The dog was in their cage for quite some hours, which may imply that dogs and potentially even other animals are immune to the beast.

Are possessed folks unable to die from blood loss or drowning so long as they have the mark of the beast?

Who else thinks the doctor isn’t actually dead (there were other doctors at the facility) and was suspiciously on-board with everything happening to Dave?

Is the doctor actually a host for the elephant (alternately just being influenced by it)? Yes, this is partially because his distorted voice in the sleep tube sounds the same as the beast, but the depictions of the beast in peoples dreams does get explained later as being different for everyone (probably based on environment).

Why was he trying to put the moves on Dave’s mom? Probably part of a manipulation tactic or he’s just weird and I’m overthinking his role in this.

What if this is all a dream and Dave is just stuck in one of those sleep pods still? We have yet to see a flashback where he’s a teenager of any sort which gives us a huge missing gap in his memories.

Another question relating to the previous ones is why did Dave see Matteo(?) and Katie(? or is that Linda?) in the sleep pod dream world place very briefly in the the trailer? EDIT: Okay so whoever that is next to Katie/Linda in the cut footage seems to be someone else who would succumb to or almost drink the beast juice (sorry, I didn't know what else to call it).

Are their IRL selves in on it? (this seems silly in hindsight, but I'm not deleting it)

ACTUALLY YEAH JUST IGNORE THESE TWO PREVIOUS ONES ONES, THIS WAS CUT TRAILER FOOTAGE, I WAS TIRED.

Is Dave in a coma and all of this has been one big dream fantasy he’s been in for a long time? If so, how long?

Much like the question of “is the dog important,” is the doctor’s memories when he was talking about his trauma important? Will that come up later given the talk of a season 2 for the original podcast?

Does the Elephant’s host bodies feel pain or is it zombie rules and they’re basically just drones that’ll keep going as long as they have some means to move around?

Do y’all think we’ll get a season 2? The series is pretty good as a stand alone thing imo that kinda lets you fill in the blanks, but I personally would like to see more in some capacity.

What did the dream people mean by “power?” Is Dave capable of the occult?

Does the Beast have access to its host bodies memories and motor skills? We see Katie’s body walking through the water. Could the beast hypothetically fly a plane if it got the right host body to do so? Could it control an entire military fleet?

What is the doctor’s connection to the supernatural happenings of this reality?

Was Markiplier the voice of the blue Modafalyst pill and the voice over of the ad that was playing on the TV in the hospital?

Was the doctor trying to get his loved ones back through the sleep pods like how Dave got that pen into reality from his dream?

How come all of the surviving main cast has had some sort of government or implied government-related job position? Was that intentional?

Each of the surviving main cast also has a double letter placement in their names too, intentional perhaps? This one is probably a reach, but I thought it was interesting!

Why did only one guy foam at the mouth when he "died?"

Why is there a difference between the pill colors in the trailer and in the final release of the show? We're the colors going to be swapped initially? Is it or was it maybe supposed to be a Matrix reference?

Also did Dave's mom seem a little too okay with what was going on at times? Does that have to do with the doctor trying to put the charm on her? Although having someone finally listen to your child's issues and have a clue about what's going on would put you in a vulnerable position, also single mom seemingly.

Who did Dr. Luis Castaneda lose and why did a dream person show up? Was that someone who left him to go live on Aristera for one purpose or another?

How many hours was Dave awake in total? So far 87 seems to be a close enough guess, somewhere in that area.

How are the dream people able to teleport into Mark's dream? How is the beast able to get into anyone's dream now that I think about it.

I guess my capitano fixation is back again-

Hey I accidentally projected my oc into my friends mind so hard he dreamed he was her and saw through her eyes perfectly. Did my oc just switch custody to my friend? How do I get her back? Do we have to have a psychic battle?

Juno's name isn't Minh Teo; it's Juno Teo Minh. She has an unhyphenated double surname.

We know this because her description on the website! It says "Juno Teo Minh".

So her real name isn't Minh, it's just Juno. Her name is Juno.

Watched the first three episodes of The Edge of Sleep tonight!!

So far so good, as far as adaptations go. The show itself is amazing so far! More mixed feelings with respect to it being an adaptation, though. So far it's remaining faithful to the overarching plot, though it has cut some scenes I enjoyed, and I am getting worried they'll cut the moobles thing, since they already said the high school incident was something different, that he was already with Katie when it happened, and there's that recurring flashback replacing the specific part about the scar. Now that i think about it yeah they absolutely cut that didn't they. It was referenced already but only one shot. (Again, i only finished episode 3)

Honestly kinda disappointed they cut the serial killer guy entirely. Like i hated him but that whole sequence was INTERESTING.

Funnily enough, one of my roommates i was watching it with had pulled an all nighter and said he was going to bed after this episode during episode three, and when the credits started i paused and realized he had fallen asleep. I said aloud "did [name] fall asleep?" to the other person i was watching with and he didn't react until i started laughing kinda loudly, bolted upright, and when the other person asked if he fell asleep he said "No. [Pause] i might have fallen asleep. Did i really fall asleep?" Then when i asked what the last thing he remembered happening was (so i knew how far to backtrack tomorrow) he said "uh... bedtime now goodnight" lmfao

Anyway, i would like to clarify IT IS A GOOD SHOW!!! It's because it's a good show that I'm not talking about it being a good show, because its merits as its own show, especially only being halfway through it, are less interesting to ramble about than my thoughts about the differences to the podcast and obviously i'm biased towards the original podcast. Oh I did like the bit where they went to the radio station though! That was cool!

My Spoiler FREE Review of the TV show, The Edge of Sleep on Prime Video, out now!

(Early apparently, but I recommend to watch it if you’re in the US now if you can to get it up there in the top and support Mark!)

This post contains no spoilers. Don’t worry.

I will say that of course, I caved in and watched the show. I will however be watching it over and over again to support Mark. Also because I LOVED it!

I watched all 6 episodes, I genuinely was impressed by the amount of work put into this. It really felt like a great series, even if it was short, it didn’t feel too rushed and I felt the same exact feelings I felt when I listened to the podcast. The environment, acting, editing, etc. was just how I imagined it from the podcast. I wanna say that I loved the acting, the actors all did amazing. I loved how it felt and they made moments feel serious, they felt like different actual people apart from their own.

I really feel like Mark and Lio did incredible acting, they felt like genuine characters better from than in the podcast because I could see them and see more of them. I wish to talk about more what they did that till felt like an actual show that was creative. I only wish that they could explore it more. It’s a good story. It’s better than some I’ve seen actually.

You guys will LOVE the characters, the main four actors did absolutely amazing. I loved them more now than I did in the podcast. They felt and looked more emotional and personal to the plot. This is better than the book by the way. I would say at least. So…

Get your hopes up people! It made up to my expectations! Let’s get it to top 10!

Oh, and to add there is some sensitive material talked about and shown. Not too serious in some cases. But viewer discretion is advised. If you listened to the podcast, most would know already.

[mpekamitzii]

they're tiny!!

Nora and Teo were inseparable since they were born,both adventure seeking troublemakers that were a pain to deal with if you were a teacher.When they were separated in class for the first time, teo met Sydney.A few hours later,he introduced them to his cousin, Nora, who was chasing plants at the time and was covered in mud.It didnt take long for them to become friends!

Their early teens designs are directly inspired from their original designs i made for them when i was 16 !! her pink overalls were so iconic to me at the time

Also shout out to my friend for suggesting i give teo a sand aura. all pharaoh's curse memes apply
