Stephen King is some kind of genius, but like most geniuses he is crazy. I haven't read any of his stuff since "The Cell," which sucked. With HBO's talent and resources, even some of his crap, if well-executed, could be good. Thanks, I will check this one out next time we have HBO.
"The Stand" was the first book I ever read start to finish as a kid. Fantastic!
Just saw a trailer for it and working on getting them. Love Stephen King.
2 episodes left. About time for the big showdown. Wife says Sam and Dean Winchester need to show up from Supernatural and teach them something about monster hunting.
So how are they going to continue this series?
Kind of a lame ending but then again it was a Stephen King story
I had low expectations for the ending. They were mostly met, but not exceeded.
SPOILERS BELOW!!!
I would've enjoyed it if they had teased out a bit more of the Q&A with "El Cuco". The last 10 minutes of the finale were completely superfluous. The ending, overall, was like Game of Thrones - huge build up and then trite little resolutions to some, but not nearly enough of the questons. It just felt like a show searching for a purpose and never really finding it.
Did it say series finale or season finale? They made it out like there will be another season. If you went further into the credits, Holly has a seeing things episode and she appears to have a scratch or scar on her forarm. Atleast the copper went back to finish the job and not just call it good with a knife and stalactight.
I'm not sure how the books play out, but they did the same thing with "True Detective". It was a standalone season and not a true "series finale", so it could go either way. This was a big hit for HBO, so there could easily be another season with Holly and a different supporting cast. I did take that "shrug" to indicate that maybe she is one of the "others", but obviously a good one.
