So I just threw together a subreddit for us to collaborate on the new web series that AT&T advertised during the season finale of touch. Check out r/jackboxers and let's see of we can figure this out.

Not sure if most of you know, but the show is based on New Age ideas. Jake is what New Age followers call an "Indigo Child".

There's so much symbolism dug into each episode. Just the intro itself features so much "Sacred Geometry" such as the Flower of Life:

I hope revealing the show's religious routes doesn't put anyone off the show. The reason I post this is because I saw someone in another post saying they stopped watching because of the stretches of logic in the show. This is just because it is based off of religious ideas.

Of all religions, New Age is extremely fascinating, even as a skeptic.

Still, New Age aside, this show is freakin' awesome.

tl;dr The show is set on the New Age religion

Cell phones do play a big part in this world but it seems so convenient to me. It doesn't bother me. Just started wondering about it and wanted to see what you guys think.

the hell?

I am really enjoying the side story with Calvin Norburg and how he is using Amelia to help find a cure for his brother. I really love finally seeing Amelia and her mother I really can't wait for the finals I know the season just started but I bet it will be great. What do you guys think??

When someome is touchy with me, I hate thier touch and feeling of me touching them, but when someone keeps away from me I start to crave thier touch and I never feel uncomfterble with them. Is it only me?

So, are they telepathic now? It was awkwardly introduced.

(Actually Episode 7, sorry.) Just wow, was not expecting that ending. Jake can talk through his mind now, why hasn't he done this the entire time?

1 Drink - Martin says: "Sweet Heart"

1 Drink - Martin says: "Buddy"

2 Drinks - Jake walks away/leaves an area unexpectedly

3 Drinks - Martin says: "I know this sounds crazy but"

4 Drinks - New character introduced with subtitles

5 Drinks - Family gets reunited

(SLIGHT SPOILER WARNING)

Will the future episodes continue following the same people features in the pilot. Since all the people's problems were resolved, I'm beginning to think not.

Also, does anyone else think the guy whose daughter died should have GOTTON the phone? I dont feel he only wanted to see those pictures once.

Just so everyone knows.

I would love to get a recording of the full track.

Edit: Not sure if anyone cares, but I discovered that the actress is actually the the musician who covered the song.

Just found this subreddit so I'd like to hear all your predictions and share some of my own.

I'll start with Guillermo because his is the most vague storyline. Obviously he is killing people that interfere with "god's will" or the "path to god." A more interesting accusation is that he is killing off the 36 people. As we know from the legend of the Lamed Vav, there are always 36 righteous people on the earth, which would believe one to think that when one dies, another is born.

Perhaps Guillermo's true motive is to keep the 36 people young as the younger seem to have more influence in their "abilities." The people he killed have (more specifically HAD) a particular talent relating to connections and seeing things in a certain light. Whether that be making the perfect symphony, sculpture, or piece of art, they all used the ability in some way. However, it wasn't particularly used to "ease the suffering of the human race" as Avraam had described.

However he could also just believe that they hold to much power and influence against god's will. But he does also mention that he used to share a similar ability before murdering the French baker.

Perhaps the 36 start young and filled with the capacity to ease people's pain but as they grow and evolve they lose the luster. Amelia never spoke a word and was constantly tested on by Teller, solving puzzles easily. Until she began speaking, that is. She was then tested to hard and her brain was left with serious damage and trauma. Now that Aster Corps can't get as much use out of her attitude (what seems like a temper tantrum but is actual trauma and damage), they want Jake, a more powerful righteous child.

Jake also seems to be progressing, both emotionally and socially. He smiles often and has more of a direct communication with Martin. He spends less time writing numbers in a book and more time guiding Martin or playing with Soleil. He also says that he will speak soon enough. Perhaps he is realizing that his time helping people is coming to an end, and before he steps down as a guardian, he wants to find Amelia for Lucy and to rescue Amelia from AC.

I'm also interested in seeing if Martin brings Jake close to Calvin, as Calvin may still want to know the secrets of the numbers, like how he used Amelia, and take Jake for his own.

Discuss? <3
