I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius
The TVIV rules are pretty clear, once a show airs, spoilers are no longer needed. This show "airs" once it gets put up on Hulu.

This was a pretty crazy episode. I was waiting for Frank to finally start beating on James ever since he first walked up in the bar. Every time they got together I was thinking "this is it, Franks going to beat the poo poo out of him." It will be interesting to see how these events play out in the future, especially with that newspaper.

It shows up when Sunday turns into Monday. I refreshed Hulu last night before I went to sleep and it was already up.

Maybe if Franco looked into a room at the butcher's shop and it had "CRIMSON KING" or other crazy ranting in it.

Party Membership is a Democracy, The Weave is Not.

A fledgling vampire? How about a dragon, or some half-kobold druids? Perhaps a spontaneous sex change? Anything that can happen, will happen the results will be beyond entertaining.

King characters are all over the place here. The extremely unsettling middle aged Christian woman stood out for me.

In the book, that family lives in Derry in 1958 there's more than enough of that stuff. I wish someone could point out some of the connections because it was so drat crazy.

Does the book cover conservation of energy? Seems weird to me that you could go back in time, grab some meat, and bring it back with you. You could go back in time, throw out a bunch of garbage, come back, then reset everything.

Here's King's opinion on your egg-head bullshit :colbert:

The Book posted:

“Yeah, but what if you went back and killed your own grandfather?” He stared at me, baffled. “Why the gently caress would you do that?” That was a good question, so I just told him to go on.

Basebf555 posted:

Yea that's why Chris Cooper(Al?) all the sudden was dying of cancer. He went into the portal while Franco was having a conversation with his ex, and came out 2 minutes later. Only for him it had been long enough that he had been diagnosed with cancer and was dying by the time he got back.

That's another thing. Did Al just decide on a whim that that day was the day to try to save Kennedy? Like, "Welp, guess I'd better get my rear end to 1963, time's a-wastin'!"

The first episode felt flat for me somehow, but the second really took off! I'm there all the way now.

I thought they were gonna do one episode about Not Derry and get back to the main Kennedy storyline but this looks interesting. I wonder if they'll do it all in one season or drag it out. Either way I'm stoked for Jake's next runthrough and him improving Groundhog Day style.

Assuming he actually does do a reset. He's already passed up a couple of really obvious opportunities to do so.

He did? I thought he was on his way back to his hometown at the end when he stopped. My geography knowledge of the US isn't the best.

It's gonna be weird if he doesn't abuse the resets at least a little.

And having to kill the rear end in a top hat again? Doesn't seem to be in Jake's nature to want to revisit that.

At the start of this episode, he was planning on stopping the family murders and going back to the present permanently, not resetting.

He may still be planning to go back, he was just interrupted and then the episode ended. If I were him, and I actually succeeded in convincing a reasonably trustworthy dude that I was a time traveler and that Kennedy was going to die on that day, I'd say good luck and get the gently caress out of there.

I think that this is the real reason he'll need to do a reset. I sure hope he does, anyway. The show would miss a fantastic opportunity to make Ep 3 a version of Ep 2 where it goes smoother, showing that Jake is learning. That and to revisit some characters.

Definitely, same. He had 3600 in his pocket which in 1960 was equivalent to 30k cash (unless that cash burned up in the fire?) I'd have the same grin too, everywhere I went.

The scene in the first episode where he has "insanely good" pie at the diner has to be a reference to Franco's "so good" diner pie scene in Spider-man 3.
