Great twist...deaded the shytty actors.
The girl is obviously going to be blamed for the murders and locked up like Henry Bowers.

fukk that dad for hatin on The Flash.
They probably want us to think The gas masked men are the racist dude who didn't salute, IMO it's the commander and his men trying to see if Hanlon will fold and tell secrets.

Noticed one of the newspaper clippings in the library references a Sheriff Bowers.

For y’all that have read the book, where we going with the military shyt? I admit, I probably need to rewatch the pilot as I tuned out those scenes, was feeling stranger thing’ish

This is all original, but based on Mike’s story and family history that was left out of the movies.

Mike Hanlon’s dad was in the Army when it was segregated. The black soldiers started a night club called “the black spot”. One day cac’s came to ruin shyt and started a fire. There were so many people inside that everybody blocked the door in a panic.

Some were able to get out, but Mike’s dad saw an impossibly giant bird swooping down from the sky and snatching up into the night, during the panic. The bird had subtle pennywise features.

Because the movies were set in the 80’s instead of the books’s 50’s, the show fills in the blanks by using the Hanlon family as an anchor to explore some other book stories and new ideas involving Derry and Pennywise.

This show makes me wish someone like Mike Flannagan would take over King's shyt and make a universe of connected shyt. Tvs and Movies. Never read any of the books but always heard/read how all the shyt is connected and characters from other shyt pop up into random shyt.

My guess is that the colonel sent people to see if he’ll spill secrets and test him, and since he didn’t break he’ll get to be exposed to some top security clearance shyt.

I dont mean one show encompassing stuff. I mean something like MCU for Stephen King stuff handled by Flanagan.
