FAKE spoilers for For the Future

These are FAKE spoilers to drown out the real ones - some are funny, but mostly this is to make a long-ish post to drown out actual spoilers in the tags. And some of these I think are neat. here they are:

-The episode starts on a cold open of the Isles, set to Charles Ives’ Down East. The shots are of drained bodies, barren landscapes, and remaining witches burning their clothes and staves for warmth. On the final “Nearer to me”, we smash cut to a closeup of the Collector’s eyes, looking out on the landscape.

-King has been keeping the Collector at bay by playing Mario Kart 64 and constantly beating him thanks to being taught the game by Luz

-Camilla walks in on Luz and Amity getting too cuddly. This is played for laughs.

-EDA shows up and has regained her arm, because she stole one of Terra Snapdragon’s. So now she has lopsided arms. This is a nightmare for the cleanup staff and a strike is imminent.

-Lilith has gone bonkers, and is hoarding decoy ducks, in the hope that she can enchant them to fly, and fly to the human realm. This is most certainly NOT played for laughs.

-Hooty has fangs now. Collector did it.

-We get a flashback to Caleb and Evelyn, having a good time, while Philip gets the first and only villain song of the series. His singing voice is provided by Norm Lewis!

-Boscha returns, but dies in Amity’s arms after being run through by a giant rock launched at him by the collector in a very high stakes game of Red light Green light. This game is soundtracked by Slint’s Nosferatu Man.

-In fact, all the games are soundtracked by Slint, Swans, and the Fall of Troy

-They finally defeat the collector by challenging him to the most complicated game in human history - EUCHRE! He is so confused that he explodes.

-He is replaced by 4 other collectors, all of whom restrain Luz and whisk her away, to be saved in the next chapter...

Charles Ives has always been one of my historical music heroes. Here’s some cool stuff I just came across about him, and I can certainly resonate with this:

Ives did not go to many concerts. In his early years as a composer, he said, "I found that listening to music (especially if in the programs there were things with which I was not familiar) tended to throw me out of my stride.... I remember hearing something of Max Reger and when I got back to what I'd been working on, I was conscious of a kind of interference or lapse (something you feel when writing a letter and someone butts in and reads his letter to you when you're trying to write yours.)"...

Not only did Ives not to go concerts, but he felt no obligation to know everything that was going on in the music world of his day. "I find that most musicians, critics, etc., take it for granted that a man who composes music must, as a result, be conversant with all the music that has been written in the world up to last night," he wrote in his memoirs. "So many apparently seem surprised, and can't understand why I don't know this piece or that piece of this composer or that composer, especially if it had just been played by the last conductor from Europe who had appeared on the scene with the score in his vest pocket."

There is no question that Ives did know the great traditions of his profession. His memos are filled with references to Bach and Beethoven, if he had reservations when it came to Brahms. He had heard Gustav Mahler, both as a composer and conductor. It is one of history's bitter ironies that Mahler, becoming interested in Ives' Third Symphony in 1911, took a good ink copy of the score back to Europe with him only weeks before he died. That copy was subsequently lost.
