 Welcome to Church of the Chair, where we don't need no water. We let that mother trucker burn. I'm your host, E, and today we got a hot one on our hand. For those of you who are new around here, you need to expect spoilers for all of Stephen King's books. If you haven't read all of Stephen King's books, I suggest you click away. You've been warned. Today, we're talking about Firestarter by Stephen King. Now let's go ahead and jump right into the theories. I was not displeased with my original theory video for this book, so I'm going to let this lost Teletubby tell you what he thinks. This is where my theories start coming together. This is the first of Stephen King's books that discuss the shop. Actually, no, that's a lie. The stand, oh sorry, the stand, the shop, the government secret, government agency, the shop, are the ones who try to stop the spread of Captain Tripp's before it takes over. Of course, we all know that fail. The shop is also mentioned in The Longmower Man. It's the film. It's in the Golden Years, the miniseries. It's mentioned, of course, in The Tommy Knockers, The Mist. There's some people theorize that The Mist, the happenings that occur in that, the shop is actually what did that. So they were doing some scientific hoodoo, ended up opening up a portal to mid-world I'm gonna go ahead and say it. I think they opened up the portal, they let some old ones in from the prim, and of course there's a stand. But wait, there's more. What that absolute unit failed to mention was something that commenters called him out for. As seen in these comments, here and here, you can pause to read if you need to. So not only does Firestarter connect back to all those other books that he mentioned, but they also tie into the stand, and the stand ties directly back into the Dark Tower series. Checkmate. Finally, I would like to add that Firestarter is, I believe personally, one of Stephen King's most underrated works. It has made it into and stayed in my top 10 for years. If you have not read the book, please do so. Also, please, please stay away from the most recent reboot. It is, oh boy, it's something. If you're interested in the review of that adaptation, I'll leave it at the end of the video. But that's all the time I have for you today. If you found any other mentions of the shop, please let me know down there in the comments section. Also, if I missed any other connections, period, let me know that too. I don't mind being corrected and I surely don't mind you adding to these theories. But until next time. Oh hell, the chair. Also, if you'd like to record a video and email it to me, just leave a comment down there and you can do the outro yourself. Like in the last two videos. Thanks. Bye.
