And it's great to kind of also be dropped into the middle of a timeline of someone else's story in the No-End House, as like a fun narrative device to see him right away and not know what the hell is going on.Īnother plot point that becomes more obvious upon rewatching, Dylan is clearly the Jules in his situation, where he'd previously left the house and then needed to find its next appearance a year later in order to go back and save her. And I really like it as kind of a set-up for where Jules is going to go. It's cool because it kinda gives you a great beta version of what Jules becomes in the last episode.
But Jeff Ward clued me in on the fact that Dylan and Lacey's story basically IS the Margot-Jules-Seth storyline, just a severely altered version of it. Why Was Dylan And Lacey's Story Important?Ĭhannel Zero: No-End House opens up with Jess Salgueiro's Lacey running away from a mysterious stalker, with "This Isn't Real" marked on her arm, but instead of being a main character, Lacey (and her husband-by-claims Dylan) almost came across as additional body count fodder, considering they existed largely outside the Margot-Jules-Seth storyline. Personally, I think both of the above explanations work in conjunction with each other, rather than it being a case of one or the other. is somewhat obsessed with presenting a more self-assured and faultless version of himself until his smooth-as-fuck cannibal comes into it. Very interesting, right? Granted, a rewatch is pretty much required in order to make any such post hoc observations, as it's not immediately clear that J.D. So that's kind of what I took away from it, but it is the most talked-about thing, I think, on Reddit about the show. a perfect version of himself, or this beautiful version of himself, to just entice him to keep going, because the House knew that it's what he needed. But he always thought that it was just because goes in and sees a version of himself, so it was to further show J.D. It's so funny, because I talked to Nick a lot about it, and you know, we came up with a lot of different reasons.
I looked at the Channel Zero Reddit, and it feels like that has got to be the number one most talked-about thing, J.D.'s statue. (Thus, there was no reason for his statue head to be split apart apart.) But when I brought that up with Jeff Ward, he offered up another explanation that makes just as much sense. It admittedly took me a long time to come up with the conclusion that the House was foreshadowing his near-future, in which he was killed by his House cannibal assumedly before any of his memories were taken. After the lights flashed and revealed the more grotesque busts that were being pulled apart, the only bust that was spotless was that of Sheamus Patterson's J.D. While Channel Zero: No-End House immediately inspired curious questions, one of the earliest bouts with confusion came in Room 1 of the House, with all the characters' face statues. Why Wasn't J.D.'s Statue Damaged In Room 1?
