"I think that's Dick Halloran" As they've been calling him that for the past two episodes 😭
It's so cool to see how they're building up the "atmosphere" for us to see the thing's first appearance in this movie as a clown; they're doing a great job with that.
Dick Halloran is very safe because he still has to make his way to Overlook Hotel.
the guy playing the piano is actually andy muschietti so andrew was right, this episode was great im so happy we get to see hallorans shine and go deeper into it kinda like we did with danny in doctor sleep
I thought it was so cool that Pennywise was able to communicate through Dick’s mind. It shows that he has shining abilities too 😮😮😮
46:43 The characters literally said that Hallorann was psychic in the episode, then we saw him having a vision, then he and Hanlon had a whole conversation about him getting inside people's heads. And yet, Tara and Roxy are still confused as to how he knew about his son and knows things he hasn't been told. Lol!
The best thing this show is doing right now is not throwing Pennywise in our faces 24/7. I know that's a crazy thing to say out loud, but it's basically the Jaws affect, the more we see of it, the less it makes the story intense and scary. We already know what Pennywise looks like and what he can do when he's tormenting people in clown form. Building up these kids (and the adults too) is how we care more about his eventual arrival...
49:05 The Shining is not limited to reading the minds of people who Shine. Two people who Shine can communicate with each other telepathically, but people who Shine can read the minds of anyone.
