Castle Rock: Season 1

1x10 Romans

So I have my theories, others have theirs, and the writers/producers have theirs.

(Spoilers)

I felt like this episode was a cheap ending. I have thoughts about why Henry did what he did but the ambiguity is crap.

I should have known a series with JJ Abrams paired with some Terry O’Quinn would have the same answers as ‘Lost’ did.

As in, 2 questions answered and 200 new questions arise.

Seeing how the previous episode was, this ambiguity was out of place. Not to mention it made me hate Henry’s character a little.

He is upset that the inmates killed each other? Okay he probably doesn’t want anyone to get hurt but they were tossing rape threats at The Kid!
Also, he’s so high and mighty but after a hallucination in the woods he thinks it’s okay to cage a person in the dark, without sunlight, proper nourishment etc ?

And even if The Kid was an evil magnate the problem would have been solved if he went home. So let the man go home and problem solved!

There was a lot that I liked about this episode but more that I disliked. Mainly, it feels like a cheap ending. Also, it feels a bit like seeing an innocent person tortured. I know it’s a horror show but there were other options I felt would have been a better ending.
