I'm also in the middle of season 2. So far a few of the things that bothered me about the set-up have been resolved. I liked how Jonathan revealed that he was scared to show how much the things he recorded bothered him. It explained his weird attitude. And it's a neat trick to say that the real statements can't be recorded digitally and so recording them with the tape recorder marks them as special or real.
I also like how the place itself seems to affect the people who work there. They might even be compelled to work there until they die?
It's the Leitner books and the involvement of Mary Key and her son (who I thought was named Michael at first) that still interest me the most. I thought the episode with her reporting and Getrude Robinson recording was really good and sets up a lot of interesting things.
I have noticed that there are some horror themes that get used quite a lot and some things that aren't there at all. For instance I don't remember there having been a story where it's a lover or close relative as the source of the horror. It's usually outside sources and it happens a lot to people who aren't close to the person reporting. Many of these reports are people seeing someone else experience something horrible. Some of it draws a bit too much from the same well for me. There have been a lot of stories about losing your way in a building or other structure, a lot about falling and darkness.
I'm also quite glad that there isn't outright torture or rape. I probably wouldn't listen otherwise.
Is White Christmas a movie that gets shown a lot on TV during the holidays in the US? I follow a fashion blog and they also do a post on that movie evey years (simply posting the same blog post from 10 years ago). I've never seen it.
