Did any of you think #001 was in on it?  I didn't but it really makes sense and there were a lot of clues.  For example, in Red Light/Green Light, the lasers of the dolls eyes never trace him like it does the other players.  I read that somewhere.

There is a lot of speculation that maybe #001 is actually the father to #456.  I think a lot of that stems from both them them saying the marble town reminded them of where they grew up.

Speaking of marbles, man that episode made me tear up a little.  The way the guy played the Pakistani character, plus the old man saying whatever he said about cheating a friend, and the two girls.  Woof.

I want to know more about the pink workers.  Where do they come from and what's their story?  Read somewhere that people were guessing that when they play the first game with the recruiter, depending on what color they pick is what happens to them.  #456 picked green, so that's the way he went.  But if he picked pink, he would have been an employee.

I want to know the back story behind the Front Man aka the cop's brother.  How did he get into that role?  Now that is a twist that I did see coming.

What's up with the VIPs?

No clue he was in on it. I was a bit perplexed though, because I suppose they were told not to kill him... as evident by the marble episode. But, it would have been unavoidable death in tug-of-war. So that didn't compute.

I thought they could have cut out all of the cop stuff and it being the brother of the front man. I didn't follow why they continued on with that story line or what it accomplished. I suppose you can link it to a future season, maybe? Potentially a text or two got through?

The VIPs reminded me of the guys in Taken.

Yeah, but I guess since he knew the secret strategy of tug-o-war, he liked his chances of survival.

I guess just watching and gambling on the contestants wasn't enough of a thrill anymore.

I totally agree.  It didn't really advance the story at all.

From things I've read, there wasn't a second season script in mind, but yeah maybe they spin that story into more somehow.

I saw a lot of people comparing Squid Game to another Netflix show, but this one from Japan, called Alice in Borderland.  I went ahead and binged that too, finishing the last episode during my lunch break.

I thought this show was really interesting too.  Definitely similar.  Really curious where this one goes and I feel like we'll find out and get a Season 2 way before a Squid Game Season 2.

Anyone else dive into that one? We can have a separate thread, if there is anyone that has watched.

Sounds like they announced there will definitely be a Season 2 of Squid Game.

They did a reality show for it now. First 5 episodes released so far. Its pretty good.
