Trying to weaponize pennywise is such a government thing to do.. lol
Someone in HBO has PTSD from witnessing a child birth.
You gotta remember that Dick Holloran has the shining in him just like to Danny
Will wont die until he has Mike from the movie, the pilot is Mikes grandfather
Fun Fact : This season is confirmed for 3 seasons and apparently every season it goes back 27 years in time due to penny wise coming back every 27 years. So that’s gonna be interesting to see how they do that with the whole show and having every season be a different time period. Up until his origin and how IT was created.
Can someone give “Ronnie” an Emmy ASAP!! That girl can act! Loving the series so far..
Will Hanlon is not getting killed during this series. He has plot armor.
Dick Hollorann is the same character from "The Shining" who had special abilities.
Our favorite military man - Major Leroy Hanlon- is Mike Hanlon’s grandfather ( Loser’s Club). His son Will ( cutie pie that loves science) will be Mike’s father. - Ronnie’s scare sequence was probably due to the fact that her mom died right after childbirth and Ronnie blames herself. So it was like she was “stuck” in a womb and was being born. - The adults don’t ever react because it’s known that Pennywise controls them, leaving the kids more vulnerable. He feeds on their fears. The army guy that gives “the looks” is Dick Hallorann- the same character who was the head chef in the Shining. We know from The Shining that Dick has “special powers”. The Jewish kid that we liked from the first episode was named Teddy Uris, which most likely means he is somehow related to Stan Uris ( Loser’s Club). I saw that Teddy had an older brother so we may find out that possibly Stanley is his nephew. Also, the creators, producers, EP and etc. all stated that since we know that the Loser’s Club ultimately defeats Pennywise in Chapter 2, we can expect that (unfortunately) NO ONE is safe - including kids! In their words, “We cannot get comfortable with anyone.” Pennywise has to invoke fear and wreak havoc in order for the Loser’s Club to later defeat him.
The actress playing Mrs Halloran is uncommonly beautiful.
