jvmacross Posted November 20 Posted November 20 Anyone else watching Welcome to Derry? I am really enjoying the lore building.... I like the angle of the US military thinking about weaponizing something they have no clue about....I like where the story is going so far.... Quote
505thAirborne Posted November 20 Posted November 20 Last Sunday's episode was by far the best so far. Everything is starting to come together, the Native Americans, showing how Pennywise arrived on Earth and why he can't leave Derry was told very well. I'm ready for the next episode. That bathroom scene... Yikes!!! Quote
Tking22 Posted November 20 Posted November 20 The CG in the show is quite spotty, but somehow, still works? Like, it's not great, but I can accept it because of the performances and the whole surreal nightmare reality-warp thing IT can do. Very solid last episode, for anyone that has read the book, and King's other work, it's been pretty fun to watch and catch easter eggs here and there, Dark Tower, The Shining, Shawshank, etc. Quote
505thAirborne Posted November 20 Posted November 20 (edited) To be honest, just the intro alone is quite creepy & eerie, between the music & visuals. Edited November 21 by 505thAirborne Quote
505thAirborne Posted November 24 Posted November 24 Finally... Spoiler we see Pennywise as a clown. Also, just to be clear, Matty was Pennywise the whole time when he was with the kids in their secret hangout space and into the sewers, right? Quote

jvmacross Posted November 24 Author Posted November 24 I love how this is also an origin story for Dick Hallorann....wow Quote
505thAirborne Posted December 8 Posted December 8 Damn, tonight was like Game of Thrones in Derry, no one is safe! Spoiler RIP Rich, you were a good kid. I liked his character, a shame to see him go. Quote
jvmacross Posted 9 hours ago Author Posted 9 hours ago (edited) Wild ending, but felt they tied up all if not most loose ends.... Felt like if they did not make any additional seasons, the story would be just fine as a one-shot prequel story.... Spoiler I wonder if Mrs. Kersh ends up dying of old age...or will "dear ol' papa" not resist the urge to finally taste her when he comes out of his 27 year rest cycle? Spoiler ....or was she already dead or "possessed" by Pennywise in that final scene?.... Edited 8 hours ago by jvmacross Quote
505thAirborne Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago @jvmacross Spoiler Between the missing poster with Richie's face on it from the 2017 movie & then seeing Beverly at the end was a trip, I wasn't expecting that. From one of the producers: In an interview with Radio TU, Muschietti revealed that “season 1 is 1962, season two is 1935, and season three is 1908.” Each era is drawn from the original novel’s interludes, which chronicle an investigation by Mike Hanlon (Will Hanlon’s future son) into Derry’s gruesome past and the three major events linked to It.

Everything, everywhere, all at once....I'll definitely keep watching if they make more seasons....dang HBO keeps coming out with shows I actualy want to watch.....basterds! Spoiler I loved that scene where Hallorann was able to get into Pennywise's "head" even if for just a few seconds....those native herbs they gave him must have been the good stuff!.... The line about being a god and devourer of worlds then getting bitch slapped was awesome....then he spots Hallorann's mistake.... Guessing we'll have to wait until the 1908 season to see the scene where poor Bob Grey gets eaten by Pennywise....☹️ ...and now I get why IT told Marge about her future son....in the hopes of maybe altering that future? In hindsight, not telling folks their future could also be a form of revenge? Like not trolling Hallorann about his demise....that knowledge could have been beneficial....oh well... I could see a Hallorann spin-off.... Edited 5 hours ago by jvmacross Quote
