+     |thoughts = Well, one thing about prequels is you tend to know what's going to happen so it can lack big surprises. But you don't always know everything! Sure didn't know about a crazy fog overtaking Derry and most of the children in town being temporarily entranced by the deadlights.
+So the "time travel" bit is another thing I had spoiled, so not a big shock. Having seen it, though, it seems more like... Billy Pilgrim or a DS9 Prophet. Not so much time travel as not experiencing time linearly. A 1935 season wouldn't be him going back to change things, but just 1935 him aware of 1962, 1988, 2015 events.
+"Richie" as one of the child characters here was conspicuous as a shared name with the later Richie Tozier, and in this episode we get the strong implication that future Richie is named after this Richie.
+The Hanlons stick around to be part of the Keep The Galoo Caged Club... where the hell were these people the next few cycles? Pretty much all we know is Leroy is still around as a farmer.
+One thing they push at the very end is "Noone who dies in Derry ever really dies." which... puts in doubt the finality of Pennywise's defeat? Along with of course him saying that death/birth seemed the same to him.
+On the whole I enjoyed this season a lot. Advantage over the films is it was a TV series story built for TV series pacing, rather than a 1000 page novel rearranged into the shape of two features.}}
