JJ Abrams/Stephen King's ''Castle Rock''

[BH/HHH]

I'm not sure if I like this show, it's really slow and that last episode was ****ing filler.

 

[marcvader]

Loved the last episode.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

The last episode was just good character exploration. And gave us insight into the little moments.

So any theories on "the kid" yet? This last episode made him seem like he was Embodying Matthew Deaver the whole time.

[BLACKOUT]Most common theory Ive heard is 'the Kid' the Deaver's young child that died before they adopted Henry[/BLACKOUT]

 

[Gamma Goliath]

That would make a lot of sense

 

[Da-Scribe]

Episode might've been fillery. Spacek, Glenn, and Pennywise were incredible and made that episode one of my favorite hours of television though.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

This weeks castle rock. Man. I need these last two episode like yesterday.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Yeah so I have no idea what’s going on, lol. I thought that the Kid might be the dead preacher reincarnated but now I think that was just all in Sissy Spacek’s mind. Plus it wouldn’t make sense because if he truly rescued Henry, that would be before Henry’s adoptive father died.

Also, I guess Melanie Lyndsky died and then came back at some point?

 

[Kaleb]

As someone else mentioned on another forum, I definitely think 'The kid' and Ruth Deaver are related (my first instinct is that 'the kid' is her and Matthew's child that died),both don't seem to age at all (Ruth's DOB is 22 January 1940) I mean she look's nowhere near 50 here.

 

[Harry Dresden]

I had to give up on this.

Unreasonably slow.

 

[marcvader]

Crazy ass episode yesterday. Now that we have answers about who the kid is and where he came from as well as what happened the week of the disappearance there still remains so many more questions damn it and only one more episode.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Agreed. And what's up with the kids age? Theres no way hes convincingly as old as they want us to believe he was before he was captured. Huge stretch.

 

[marcvader]

Yeah, he does look too young but whatever. I can overlook that.

 

[Da-Scribe]

Yeah, he's got Paul Rudd condition or whatever. No biggie.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

No biggie at all. Then theres the fact that everyone calls him the kid Lol, could also be that he was born much later than his counterpart too.

Also the girl in the woods with the knife, and the goth chick, anyone else think they look like the same person?

 

[Dilly Dilly]

Agreed. And what's up with the kids age? Theres no way hes convincingly as old as they want us to believe he was before he was captured. Huge stretch.

There is something going on with his character not aging in 20 years or so

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I'm talking about before he was captured. If you're caught up on episode 9 you should know what I mean. Tin foil hat time:

Spoiler

In the last episode and evidence throughout the show would support the idea that when you cross universes at least 2 things happen, you dont age and you're presence causes death. Young black Henry was trapped in the non cursed castle rock for 27 years and didnt age a day. He then returned to his own timeline/universe and aged normally. White Henry or the kid, grew up in his timeline to become a full grown man instead of dying as a baby, and if the times link up he should be 39 as well. When he crosses over into the other castle rock he ends up in the 90s and didnt continue to age for 27 years. But you dont refer to a 39 year old man as a kid. So my only logical guess is that in his own timeline he could be younger than what he was supposed to be in black Henry's time line. The only thing is evidence doesn't support that, he's still friends with molly who's still older looking and even his wife seems like an older woman. But idk maybe it's just a plot hole, we wont know until the last episode is up.

Have to say that I was very disappointed with the finale. Felt like the writers just raised their middle finger to the viewers by not actually answering what was going on in the show. Read an interview where they said they wanted to let viewers interpret it for themselves, which in IMO is just b.s. excuse for not being able to write a satisfying ending themselves.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

It felt like a King thing to do not answering any questions.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Yeah, that ending was a major disappointment. Am I the only one who is getting REALLY sick of that trope where the hero ends up doing the same awful thing the villain (or a villain) was doing at the beginning just because the writers couldn't give him or her a better way of resolving the problem?

 

[KaijuDude1992]

The finale was meh, but I'm still interested in a Season 2. I enjoyed this series enough overall, but it is frustrating that we didn't get many answers to anything.

 

[Kaleb]

 

[Deck Rickard]

So each season is going to be it's own thing, more or less separate from the previous one. Okay, I'll give this another shot, if for no other reason than the cast is really, really good. But they better actually resolve things by the end and not pull another cop-out "just let the audience draw their own conclusions" ending again because they couldn't come up with anything that worked.

same here. can anyone spoil the last 3 episodes for me?

 

[Deck Rickard]

Sure. You never really find out what happened and the hero resolves things by doing the same thing John Locke did to the kid.
