    I finally finished watching 11.22.63.
    It was pretty good.
    Like @strummerfan@strummerfan had said the concept wasn't new, but it was done pretty well.
    I enjoyed it. Also I'm a fan of James Franco.

    I thought it was fleshed out far better than most attempts that try to explain the butterfly effect

    Anyone watching The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin - Season 1

    Currently streaming on the Daily Wire+. something I have never even heard of before. Is this a Religious Network?


    Made it through the first 2 episodes and these people from Atlantis give Bull Fighting a whole new meaning. After 2 episodes, no Merlin just the story of his parents meeting. Funny the Christian side of the story will be an interesting storyline to watch. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 0 rating from critics and 86% from the audience.


    I know nothing about the 7 Book series this is based on. Book 7 (2025) coming 25 years after Book 6
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pendragon_Cycle

    FYI- This is why I didn't see Merlin in the first 2 episodes. Episode 3-7 is where Merlin enters the story and hopefully the time jumps slow down.
    The first two episodes were an adaptation of the novel “Talesin.” The next five are an adaptation of the second novel, “Merlin.”.

    This is right up my alley as I am still making my way through The Last Kingdom books. (The Saxson Stories) Just started Book 10 of 13.

    I started to finally watch IT Welcome to Derry when I got home this morning, I watched 2 of them.
    I'm so confused at what the show is.
    I'm trying as a reader of the the book to try , and separate the show, but it's hard. Is this a alternate reality??? It's hard because some of the stuff is actually straight out of the book while some of the characters have the same names they aren't, or couldn't be the same people. For example the Sheriff Bowers , the Bowers in the book were farmers Butch Bowers, and his crazy son Henry Bowers, but they had no cop relations. The black Kid (Mike Hanlon) in IT that grew up to be the Librarian , his Dad was in the Service with Dick Halloran (the same exact character from the Shining, the cook), and yet in here a different Hanlon is in the service with Dick Halloran at a whole different date, and time. It's like an alternate universe IT.
