I could probably write a long essay about Lost Johns' Cave, and maybe I will someday. That episode fucks so hard. As a claustrophobe who is both fascinated and horrified by caving I am its #1 target demographic. The way the cave is described is so beautiful. They way squeezing through those tiny tunnels is described makes me nauseous. It's also a fascinating episode because Laura Poham is probably the least reliable narrator in any statement. Pretty much everything she says either isn't true or is twisted somehow. It's still not fully clear to me if she's deliberately lying or if she genuinely beleives her version of what happened. I lean towards the latter because you shouldn't really be able to lie in a statement. Although I don't know if that's ever explicitly stated. Maybe it is possible, especially in written statements where the statement giver is under the influence of the Eye but not being directly compelled. Oliver does also lie about his name in Dreamer. I'm gonna be on the lookout for more instances of statement givers lying as I do my slow re-listen.
