Castle Rock (Hulu, Summer 2018) TV Show • Page 4

Episode 9 was incredible, loved it just as much as Ruth's episode.

 

This was a mess, I was not a fan. Some cool moments that just didn't deliver as a whole.

 

Only part that lost me was the last 15 minutes or so of the last episode, which is unfortunate.

 

Actually, I’m coming around on it now after watching this.

 

I like the idea that there are two possibilities and it's up for you to decide.....the problem is there's too many inconsistencies in both scenarios.

If you believe the kid's story, then that doesn't explain why he was acting like the father around Ruth in episode 7, why he was making those soap carvings, why he was purposely causing those riots, why he turned into that demon looking thing in the woods, and why he gave that evil grin in the end.

If you believe that the kid truly is a demon, then that means we have no explanation as to where Henry disappeared to when he was kid, what the sound in the woods truly is and why he wants to get to the schisma so desperately. Also if he had the ability to make people do all those violent things, then why couldn't he just control Henry to come to the woods with him...or let him out of the cell?

The more I think about it the more of a mess I realize this ending was. Plus it makes me really mad if they're trying to say an entire episode of the show (episode 9) was not real.

 

I could have misread how they set it up, but in support of the kid's story in relation to all the riots and violence that followed him wherever he went, they had a few nods to it being inadvertent, like he obviously caused it, but not on purpose. Just him being there in that version of the world where he wasnt supposed to be led to the violence, like a glitch of sorts. Like when he got put into the cell with the inmate who was obviously supposed to kill him, his comments of " I wouldn't do that if I were you " or whatever it was he said could legitimately be taken as a warning and not a threat.

As for the demon transformation in the woods, we are seeing that from Henry's perspective who might not be a reliable narrator at that point, maybe hes seeing what he wants to see. Or it's just more interdimensional glitchery.

 

Wow

 

Excuuuuuuse me??

 

wow wow wow. very interested

 

Sounds awesome. Just read my first Stephen King and it was really cool to see all the references.

 

looking forward to this, but hoping it's more satisfying than the ending of season 1.

 

Last season should've just ended with episode 9.

 

Is it the same storyline or is it something new? Kinda hoping for a step in a different direction.

Edit - nvmd just remembered we spoke about it being an anthology show a page or two back. Hoping this season feels a little more coherent. There was a lot of technical and thematic elements i loved last season but I think the writers went batshit and threw everything at the wall for episodes 9-10. I dont even need next season to be less surreal- just make it all consistent at least.

 

Season 2 looks like its main focus is a Annie Wilkes story.

 

Gangster af gimme all the Lizzie

 

hope season 2 has a better ending than season 1

 

Started season 2 today. Last five minutes of the first episode are insane. Love the lead actress as Annie. Had no idea Tim Robbins is in this too, and his character is amazing. No he’s not Andy Dufresne

 

Anyone else watching this? Think I’m liking it more than season one.

 

I’ve been meaning to start I want to marry Lizzy lol

 

Episode 5 and 6 have been so damn good. Some of my favorite TV this year

 

Some of this season is wayyyy darker than I’d expected. Makes it a bit hard to binge. I think I’m more captivated than in season one though.

 

Did not see it coming how it tied back into last season this episode

 

Just finished episode five last night and it’s a mind-blower.

 

Was not expecting that in this newest episode holy smokes. So thats why the KID was locked up in S1. Mind fuckin blown
