Through a lot of the series there is a woman providing character Lilly Bainbridge comfort & was the daughter of the circus clown, I believe her name was Ingrid Kersh, played by Madeleine Stowe. They tell this character’s story starting with her as a young teen, minimally 10-years old, in the circus with her clown father, back in 1908. Then she is in the present time of the series, kind of confusing, but I know it started in 1958, looking at least 40s, maybe, 50s years old (my mother is watching to, when I brought it to her, she says late 40s). So, she is looking way too young, for minimally how old the character has to be. 1958 - 1908 = 50-years old + she was at youngest 10-years old in 1908 (again my mother agrees with that) = 60-years old. Even if she looks 55-years old, that is at least 5-years too young.
Can someone help explain to me how this makes any sense?
I really liked the series, liked the book better. Rereading the book, after 35-years & being a young HS person, so maybe, that will change.
Like I said, I am willing accept that always in every time ‘It’ as long as it is in the book.
With that being they absolutely terrible job of throwing that into the very end of last episode, given the above context & not in the ‘90 TV mini-series.
It’s very much not in the book, they were building their own lore and doing their own things that were more connected to the recent movies and allowed them to tell the story for the next seasons backwards.
It was abrupt and lore-dumpy though, It could’ve been muuuuch smoother
If you are right, then I hate it. Was never necessary, plus, I cannot see how ‘It’ can be defeated with that huge advantage.
Kill the kids when they are being born & feed on the fears of not threatening kids, until next set of threat kids are born.
Since I hate religion, I did not mind using alien (have to exist, just not visiting Earth) as a way to explain ‘It’, on Earth. Could have done Super Powered Villain or Evolutionary (which I prefer) angle.
Yeah it feels like an easy method to hand wave inconsistencies as they happen in the show. It’ll let Pennywise attack up the family trees during the next few seasons so I forgive it there, even if it makes It look like an incompetent villain in the long run.
It was an alien in the book, the species is hinted though never fully explained in the Dark Tower. It does exist out of time there, but more as a cosmic being than how it was shown in the show since the details are left out.
At least as far as I remember, it’s been a few years since my last trip around the wheel.
I usually treat each story separately, so I really do not know that connection & in ‘Dark Tower’, never read about a alien/‘It’, though also read the whole series of ‘Dark Tower’. Plus, I read all of ‘Dark Tower’ just 10 or less years ago.
