![]() ![]() They might have been killed in the storm because they lived unsheltered in the woods.Were they killed in the storm (assuming it was real and not just a hallucination)? What happened to the Scalled? They are nowhere to be seen when Blake leaves at the end. The heretics (at least, the ones present in the mines) are killed by Knoth's followers (presumably including Val herself since she's never seen or mentioned again), Marta is impaled and dies, and Knoth and his followers commit suicide. What happened to the Scalled besides Nick and Laird? All the other characters die.As for Laird, he must have joined Knoth somewhat recently if he knew what a camcorder was, since his odd appearance means he probably didn't go out on shopping trips. Knoth's followers are also familiar with the modern world, since some of them make regular trips to "Publican" businesses to buy "Penissilon" (and presumably batteries/flashlights). ![]() Obviously there were no firearms back then, so they resort to crucifying and burning heretics at the stake instead. The Testament's goal is to live like Christ's followers that is, by using the same barbaric punishments described in the Old Testament.Where is all the modern technology in Temple Gate besides flashlights and batteries? Where are the firearms? They're not culturally isolated, Laird recognizes what a camcorder is.Plus, the moon was out when they were in the helicopter, so it wasn't so dark that filming was impossible even if Blake didn't use the night vision on his camera. Assuming they expected to be out there for at least a few hours, they'd be roasted in the daytime heat. They're in a remote region of Arizona.Why did Blake and Lynn investigate at night, much less a cloudy night? That doesn't make for good footage.The only possible reason to experiment on a town like that is. Maybe they brainwashed the people and made them think that the drones were just birds. They probably used telescopes and perhaps drones. I suppose you already answered your own question.What was the point of Murkoff exposing the town to their "experiment"? It's impossible to set up experimental controls, and they can only do observation by binocular, telescope, and maybe drones.How much of the "scriptures" were written while Knoth was under the influence of Murkoff's experiment, versus how much was "ordinary" religious strangeness? Further, how much of it was written under the recent "corrupted" experimental signal versus the ordinary signal?.It's perfectly reasonable to assume no one is in a position to question Knoth, and that he took the helicopter as a sign from God. It also says in the scriptures that the Anti-Christ will "fall from the sky". Reading some of the pages reveals they kind of thought every child born was the Anti-Christ.Do they think that Blake or Lynn is a descendant of Knoth? Is there something in the "scriptures" that the end of the world will be heralded by a helicopter crash landing? ![]()
