River Rants For This Week

Published February 9, 2017 · Updated July 6, 2022

Hello, Gentlemen!

Last week, I wrote in about my theory about James either being possessed by a Wendigo, or what I believe to be more likely, he has simply become one himself. I won’t completely rehash everything I put in that email, but this week, I offer up some proof.

I’m betting on the twist at the end of the season is that James died on the boat with the other 200ish slaves, and was brought back to life via a very dark sort of magic, which would be an alternate reason why he’d be a Wendigo.

Attached to this email is a screen-grab from episode 2, and I’ve raised the brightness as much as I can. You can see fairly clearly that James’ teeth are indeed fangs.

Now, I know we’ve joked around that James could be a vampire, but I really do think that being a Wendigo is far more likely. I’m very interested to see what everyone thinks!

As always, thank you for your time,
Niko
