Winter Fire just wrapped up season one and I got mixed thoughts bout how this whole thing came together, the finale had some really cool moments but also a few parts that felt rushed or not fully thought through although I cannot denied it works, its still entertaining as hell. The big reveal that Marge is actually Richies mom from the original IT movie was pretty damn good, I did not see that coming at all and it ties everything together in a smart way and its why I consider this the best synergy between the big and small screen going form the movies to Tv Series, now we know why Richie was so terrified of clowns his whole life because his mom literally faced off against Pennywise when she was a kid and that trauma got burried deep inside him probably thats why his comedy side just came naturally growing up. Bill Skarsgard continues to be incredible as Pennywise, the dude just owns every single scene he is in and I think he does a better job here than he did in the movies because the show gives him way more room to be creepy and funny at the same time, that circus parade scene where he is hoping towards the kids while playing tuba on his wagon was terrifying all them flying deadlight and hilarious exactly what Pennywise should be with way more creative freedom on a tv show, the moment where he takes the principal head off like futball and does his litle jig before opening the deadlights on all those school kids was pure horror gold very Stephen King at his best. The post credit scene with Sophia Lillis showing up again as young Beverly Marsh made me lose it for a moment because I never thought they would bring her back but they did it and she still looks exactly like Beverly from the first movie seeing her standing in front of her moms body at Juniper Hill while Ingred drops that line about nobody really dying in Derry I was like ssshhhttttt, this episode gets an easy 8 out of 10 from me for sure because it wraps up so many things while setting up even more for future seasons and giving us a proper season finale, the entire series is an 8 over all in my opinion.

Eventually Shaw gets his compass from Pennywise who consumes him after he recognizes him from the 1908 cycle saying I never forget a smell you are that kid from way back then witch was satisfying as hell to watch because Shaw was such a dick the entire season always getting in the way of the good guys, really loved all the scenes inside Pennywises mind, inside Bob Greys cart like this whole mind space area just super trippy and I do not think that we have ever actually been inside Pennywises perspective in any other movie before. Will becomes the Frodo of the group having to take the ring to Mount Doom the rest of the way, the are the Losers Club from their time, having to do it as a group like they have to perform some kind of rite together just like the group here in the 1960s had to put the dagger in the tree together as a unit, we finaly see our revenge moment when Hallorann sees the ancient Native American spirit Rose hears but does not see it and he sees Richs spirit return to give Pennywise the middle finger that was actualy a hilarious, very Rich like as he helped the rest of the Losers put the dagger in the tree. Then Pennywise turn into basically a dragon or some sort of bird or at the end a winged clown I would say, assuming this was the first form he took when he crashed to Earth millions of years ago he became a bird like creature before he became anything else, theres a very big explosion of light effect connecting all the pillars around town when they place the dagger and Im assuming that everybody was able to actually see this bright light connecting everything across Derry, then I think the idea here is that he cycles backwards through the forms that he took this season to set up the idea of him traveling backwards in time in future seasons so he goes to Pickle Dad and then to the demon baby that he was at the beginning of the season finally back to the clown form until he goes to his original Deadlights form and then goes off but its not clear if in fact he was about to travel in time or back to his lair.
