“The Black Spot”

What a horrific episode.

I can honestly say that it nearly made me turn it off.

Rich died in the horrendous fire set at the Black Spot. I have not felt this empty after a scene on TV in a long time. It had that same feeling the night Negan killed Glen on the Walking Dead. I understand stakes, but some times the stakes are just too high.

Plus, to have Rich go out saving Marge, sacrificing himself.. I’m sorry, I just can’t handle it.

I have a terrible feeling that the racist bastards that set that fire at the Black Spot will not get their comeuppance. That radio report the next morning was absolutely sickening.

I was satisfied by IT killing Kersh. Chopping the top of his head off was great, though the clown taking a few bites from the head was gross.

Outside of the fire, we get some real background on Pennywise… specifically the original clown before IT took his form. IT realized that children were attracted to Pennywise, and that is why the monster took the form of a clown.

The army jumped into the horrible aspect too as they found and destroyed one of the pillars. Because the nation needs to be afraid… to have fear.

Pennywise showing up at Will’s house at the end will lead into the finale next week.

That fire nearly wiped me out. That was a nightmare.
