I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

What was up with the cop who was hunting in the opening scene? He's got a living boar in his sites, he gets the message to come to work, and he leaves; we then cut to the boar, but it's dead and has flies buzzing around it.

I'm thinking there's more to this guy than meets the eye.

Also I'm not entirely ready yet to commit to there being a supernatural element, based on the Hodges trilogy. And for anyone who's read the book, please don't spoil that for me.

Yeah that boar scene threw me off. I don't know what we're supposed to infer there.

Isn't that just the guy who had to come in because Ralph is on admin leave?

Simple Torture wrote:Two episodes in, and (keep in mind, I'm not a book reader, and I only consider this a minor spoiler because it is a Stephen King adaptation after all) I still cannot abide kids who can see monsters while adults can't. Just get it over with and scare the crap out of me with a jump scare, will ya?

Give me a break; my kids don't do midnight feedings anymore, so it's hard to catch up on stuff.

it's bothering me that Jason Bateman is already dead. Maybe he doesn't stay dead, or this is an alternate timeline??
