Les Revenants / The Returned

[ThreeBeeOneGee]

It's a bit soon for me to have an opinion yet, but it looks interesting enough that I'm recording it to watch later with DH...

Ew dead animal being a snack

Really hope this doesn't get more gross each week - not sure my stomach can take it!

NoHank - completely agree re Pierre - I said that earlier in the thread.

Interesting that you could read it as Victor killing the neighbour as a copycat of Serge - or because he wanted a snack! Also - the dead animal in the bin being a snack for Camille - that would tie in with the voracious nature of the undead and make it a bit more like a traditional zombie flick...

Also - did anyone pick up on the in-joke re the book Adele was holding in the library - "Les animaux disparus"?!

Yes it looked like cat lady had the same wounds as Lucy.

I don't get the vision Julie had of being attacked in the hall...?

BTW - props to those who guessed M Costa was a schoolteacher/head!

Oh - re the hall thing. Julie sees Serge and freaks out, non? I do think Victor can be savage but genuinely don't think he has any hostility towards Julie - so wonder if he either a) has appeared to nosey neighbour as Serge and killed her in that way or b) appears to Julie in that form so she can gain closure on her experience and deal with seeing Serge about town?

And who do we think killed/ran over Simon?

YY re Pierre. He is extremely creepy.

And at Victor eating cat lady, but it does tie in with the dead rabbit...

Phew - caught up now. DH insisted on cooking. We, er, ate a bit late T'was nice though.

Soooo... what are we thinking? Victor can definitely make people see things - that scene where he made Julie think her attacker was back for her was terrifying. So maybe he made Mme Payet see something that made her kill herself? Also, his pictures were really dark, I'm assuming he died violently.

Pierre aka Mr Helping Hand of God - he seems too good. I think if anyone's a murderer in disguise, it's him.

Lena's scar is getting worse. But she didn't seem surprised at it being there, only at it getting worse, so I think she knows how it got there meaning that it's not a transference (?) from Camille, probably more something like a past wound that's re-emerging. Theorising madly here, I think it was caused by her dad. He's already admitted to going 'out of control' after Camille's death, and she seems to have a great hatred for him. And I think he apologised for something specific last week, but I can't remember what.

I wonder what's going on with Lucy.

Ooooooooooohhhhh - what if Pierre killed Victor? Like, years ago, accidentally or something and that's why he's all holier than thou now?

Who is Lucy lost already

For some reason, I have just remembered one of the photos that Mr Costa burned. It was an old school photo, and a younger him was the teacher. I think that Victor was one of the children .

Anyone care to re-watch to confirm? Perhaps implicates him in Victor's death?!

That would explain the c4 voice over advising everyone at the end to rewatch episodes one and two.......

Lucy is the barmaid murdered attacked in the underpass

just seen end as got chatting with a friend - good thing taping on sky plus :)

true mrs d :)

you are only as young as the man you feel ..........

i got a tad confused with julie being attacked then victor with the neighbour, and then julie with victor

if you want a shag then not a good idea to criticize ask a naked won whats a scar on her body but does seem that lenas scar is getting worse

adeles hubby seems very controlling with all his cameras also think he looks a bit like mr bean

smoking - that is true, cat woman was eaten by cats ............... tho bit weird neighbour was being eaten by her cat,tho didnt freak me out brave blondes :)

there are 5 episodes to go so final 8/8 is july 28th should be the last one blondes cancels girls night out

What did victor draw? I didn't get a good look

Riots it looked like nasty men in threatening poses and maybe people being stabbed or similar?

thanks teej I'm loving all this talk of water/glass reflections and how the village and the returned are all just some sort of reflections.

They must all be drowned, or else why all the references to the dam?

So, Victor is young Serge and ate Cat Lady (so will she become a Revenant too?). Does this mean that Camille ate the rabbit/cat in the bin? Does this also mean that Young Serge came back before and stayed long enough to grow up into Murdering Serge before his brother killed him after the first murders? So is he now two separate Serges at the same time or can he only be one or the other?

I still think, as I said way up there , that The Police chief killed Simon because he wanted Adele for himself.

I'm hoping that all will be explained in due course, I do not like endings that leave you all up in the air. And still feel that my Homeopathic Dam theory prevails.

I don't thhink Victor is Serge, I think he can just appear to be other people or can influence how people see him. One thing though, he sure does get creepier with every episode

One of the pictures victor drew was of serge with a knife next to toni with a gun. Very creepy.

I saw this for the first time last night and was very very confusex
but enjoyed it.
I will go back and watch the other 2 episodes.

It's very intriguing.

Was thinking about this so much when I went to sleep last night that I dreamt all night i was a murderer.

DC at school today and I have a day off so I'm going to be lazy and watch episodes 1 and 2 again.

But how come everyone comes back looking like they did when they died but by your musings Victor somehow comes back a lot younger?

Nannyplum, I'm going to do the same. Got a day off to study - going to rewatch one and two on the laptop at some point as a "break" :-)
