I was thinking that season one and two were going to be separate stories but OMG the ending of this episode blew my mind and I was wondering if they were going to tie in the two seasons by reference or something small, BUT THAT’S NOT SOMETHING SMALL!
Some viewers are going to be upset that this episode takes a turn and recalls the history of why Castle Rock is such a corrupt and evil town. Annie's story has been very intriguing to this point and some will think the telling of "the cult of Amity" just messes up the season. But I think most of those viewers must not know the terrible history of Castle Rock, or should I say Jerusalem's Lot. If you're going to base the show on the writings of Stephen King and bring Annie and her misery (pun!) to the town, you have to have her interact with the supernatural element that resides there.
I am let down a bit by the fact that the evil takes the form of a cult and not vampires (as in King's writing) but I'm okay with seeing where this all ends up. The fact that the cult worships "The Kid" (the evil entity locked away in Shawshank Prison Block F) is a jaw-dropping tie-in to Season One. I like this idea as it links all of the characters' fates to a greater evil force. But please, writers, don't be afraid to kill off your characters. Don't turn this into just another endless story!
Pop Merrill's role becomes very interesting now. He seems like the only one who keen to the fact that something is very, very wrong with Ace, Chris and the crew up at the Marsten House (read 'Salem's Lot by Stephen King...you won't regret it).
This looks serious. That angel isn't clowning around.
I agree with the previous poster. This season has been phenomenal compared to last! The story surrounding Annie is enthralling enough...the side story is honestly not necessary. Then again, it wouldn’t be King if there wasn’t a supernatural element involved.
That was such a bone chilling ending.
Aw snapz and thus the connection! This season has been sooooo good.
I still think this season is million times better than the first one.
I just wish they'd focus more on Annie and her story. I honestly couldn't care less about that generic witch stuff.
I was ecstatic to see the connection to the first season. We were left with questions that I thought would never get answered, but it looks like they just might after all.
Great to see Bill underneath that hood.
ooooh, shit. Watch out. Here it comes
