IT: Welcome to Derry

ChroniC said:
I.T not experiencing time the same is a very poorly thought out way to just make the series a 3 part thing. It makes no sense in the context of the story. Good series but crap way to meddle with the story.

What do you mean? IT has always come back every 27 years, plus he isn't human so it's not a massive surprise he doesn't age.

He means not experiencing time in a linear fashion and knowing the future and past at the same time.

isnt that just some silly fan theory?
seems more like he can get in peoples heads the same way as hallorann and extract knowledge from them with them thinking it was a dream, recalling a memory of whatever.
more like a master manipulator, just because they don;t show it doesn;t mean it's not happening. hallorann doing it shows its possible when they both basically have the same power.

not that hes all knowing, can see everything like that crap out of game of thrones...

It's literally a major plot point of Welcome to Derry, it's the entire big reveal of the final episode.

this has topped my multipart TV series for the year

it was up against 'Terminal list: Dark Wolf' and 'Alien: Earth'

i'm biased in that i read the book 'It' when it was published back in 1986. and have read it numerous times since. it's one of the very few books i've read, then gone back to start reading it again

the show added some excellent details about characters and circumstances:

Marge being Richie Tozier's mum

Dick Halloran leaving USAF for a job in a hotel. and signing off with the rejoinder: "how much trouble can a hotel be?". his inclusion in the series was a great 'easter egg'.

Will and Charlotte Hanlon (Mike in the movie 'It''s parents) and and their backstory.

who was Ingrid Kersh? the creepy old woman in 'It - Chapter 2'. who appears to occupy Bev's home in Derry. and how Bev had a moment of recollection of her in 'It - Chapter 2' when she saw her. Ingrid was the old woman who'd been painting when Bev's mother took her own life while an inpatient in Juniper hill asylum. then said to Bev: "that's the thing about Derry. nobody really dies"

why 'It' never left left Derry to have the US as a platter fit for a monster

Bob Grey and his clown persona. that was never really touched on in the book. but 'It' took that persona because a clown is always an entertaining sight to children

there was a couple of discrepancies/why did they do that moments: Veronica 'Ronnie' Grogan being a voice Bev heard from the drain in 'It' being probably my biggest gripe. she and Hank, her dad. left at the end of episode 8, but overall; not enough to spoil the overall viewing pleasure for me

i loved the series

the next season is set in 1935. and culminates with the 'Bradley Gang Massacre'. while series 3 set in 1908 and has the Kitchener Ironworks explosion as its 'Black Spot' moment

E2A: date of Kitchener Ironworks explosion

thanks despite watching the remake movies and then derry series still missed half the references, cross overs and easter eggs :cry:

Gonna do this one though:

Just to fill in some gaps, Welcome to derry was very good though, fully recommended to watch the remake movies first though:)
 
just binged this - its was ok as fan fiction but they really added stuff that wasn't in the book.
And still no real mention of the turtle, the only reason the kids were able to defeat IT in the book.

The last half this season had been epic. I can see the stranger things comparisons and rate it higher.

IT feels more grounded int he real world, where as stranger things devolved into some weird marvel comic fantasy where everyone has plot armor....

literally 0 tension or anything. its pure theme park one ride to the next.

Finally saw last episode.

Brilliant stuff 9/10 all round
Compliments the filmed Side of the story perfectly for the non expert me..
I dunno if a Steven king expert would say the same....
Doesn't need more series. More milking...
 
I enjoyed it. Slow build but very similar to the style of both the versions. Liked the continuity and was happy they got bill to do pennywise in the show.
