 Spoiler alert for the entirety of Stephen King's catalog. You've been warned Hello everybody E here. Welcome back to an extremely late Thursday theorist I mean, I know he all of his books I did those, you know decades after they came out But this one I completely forgot and I apologize. I completely forgot that I did not finish this Thursday theorist I still had two episodes left to upload and I guess I have since deleted those videos So I'm doing I'm adding on the the first two that I did and then I'm going to tack on These two also and then have my new editor cut them all together If you guys don't know I have a new editor. His name is Craig Craig Fez Perry He will be editing all the longer videos from here on out or any videos that need a hella editing just to give me more time In case you haven't noticed videos have been few and far between And if you're watching this later later on I'll put a time signature down there So you can skip all of this stuff when the actual Thursday theorist begins, but uh, yeah, he'll be helping out the channel Hopefully that means that I can get more videos out to you guys because I'm hella busy right now Anyways on with the theorist video, okay I'm gonna be reading from my notes that I took forever ago So some of this stuff doesn't make sense or if I don't remember why I wrote it down I apologize, but we're gonna try and do our best here So I have a few very small Small things like right off the bat if it bleeds opens with Holly watching TV just like Bill in Mr. Mercedes We'll keep coming back. That's the the outsider. I believe is talking about that Another like him the outsider. So it's not the same outsider that was in That was in the outsider so it's confirmed that there's more than one of these things and There's no way was it Eddie destroys it. No, it's not Eddie Anyways, whoever destroys the eggs at the end of it. I think it's Eddie, but I could be completely wrong I'm blanking completely on that scene read the book 18 times What the hell's wrong with me? Anyways, but if it's if it's those if the outsider are those eggs And it's just been you know, these eggs have been traveling the the country just taking over people changing, you know Changing the way they look. There's a mention of hibernation just like the 27 years and it I all the all this is gonna connect very hard to it and not so much the dark tower overall, but maybe some Tommy knockers a Chain of faces going back years. I Don't know what that means. If you guys want to whoever knows the part that I'm talking about down there A chain of faces going back years. I guess all the different faces that that he's been I'm not sure you have to believe that I might you have to believe to be able to see it Holly feels there's a source of good the turtle so she she's talking about if if there is a source of evil I remember this rather clearly then there has to be a source of good So if you have this monstrosity this outsider that can do all these things there has to be a good side So the turtle I'm thinking anyways You called an oh That's just my I literally like all cats you called undiskey and it and it goes on to to talk about Undiskey as an it over and over and over again It was rather heavy-handed. I felt in this one if you guys If it did if you missed the connections in this one, please let me know down there If if you if you missed and I want to know if it's because I have read so much Stephen King that I caught all this stuff Or if people reading it that haven't read it or seen the movies, which is probably gonna be like three people But do don't know it Did you did you not catch any of this stuff? I want to know I'm not gonna pick on you anything But I do I want to know if it was obvious to someone who doesn't know all of the lore That's how people believe in UFOs and killer clowns. Okay. There's I believe this is a this is a line from the book That's how but this is very specific wording get me very specific wording and this is what got me so excited that the last time And I I remember shooting a video and just stumbling all over my words because I I was so excited So I'm glad I kind I went back. I'm still stumbling on my words But it was barely coherent the first time if I remember correctly But that's how people believe in UFOs and killer clowns UFOs killer clowns. I have long said that Pennywise is like the aliens in Dreamcatcher and Tommy knockers I've said that I don't know how many times and that is very specific language Unless Stephen King watches these videos and he's like, I'm gonna write this in just for that fat man. Anyways, so Inside Edition and Night Flyer Well inside Edition is mentioned That's from Night Flyer and numerous things in the King universe. It's mentioned in Richard D's work for there. He was in the Night Flyer. He's the main character. It's mentioned several times in the dark tower Inside Edition is like a tab tabloid of this Stephen King verse tabloid alien brain all caps Not entirely sure why I remember that but it says alien brain exclamation point If I ever go back and reread this one again because I've read it twice so far I read it and listen to the audiobook if I ever go back again. I will update this with what I meant by a You know Lastly we have give me what I want and I'll go away if you know where that's from Comment down there in the doobly-doo. I don't know The I don't know if I missed anything this time. I think I left something out as a Something for you guys to find I can't recall like I said It's been over a year since I read the book because I read it back to back when I reread it I read it then I listened to it If you guys found anything that I did not mention here Or if you want to explain some of the stuff that I was vague on please do so down there in the doobly-doo Of course, there's going to be spoilers for the entirety of Stephen King's universe So that's it for the if it bleeds section of if it bleeds so that the titular titular titular I like that word titular am I even saying it right now? It doesn't even sound like a word. Anyways for the If it bleeds, that's it for that one now. We're moving on to rat in rat There's the mention of TR 90 which is out there by dead score Lake. I think It's it's a not miss. I think it's a made-up TR was it something root? I can't remember what the T stands for but TR 90 is mentioned in Song of Susanne It's mentioned in bag of bones. It's mentioned in numerous ones al stamper I put three question marks after this because that name sounds awfully familiar if you know who it is Please let me know down there in the doobly-doo. I feel like it was Mike Noonan's caretaker Maybe not. I don't even remember who the character was in this one, but uh No bill the next one bill the care the caretaker from Bag of Bones was bill the caretaker from Bag of Bones Al Stampler. I have no idea why I highlighted that but there you have it And is bill the caretaker from Bag of Bones. I can't remember Everything was eventual is a quote in the book once again Stephen King referencing himself his short story collection Everything is a venture. Everything is eventual. Sorry. Everything's eventual Dairy is mentioned in the rat So that's a hard connect to the dark tower universe because that's where it happens and it ties in directly to the dark tower and Then the the rat quoting Franzen is interesting to me Highlighted this because going back and watching interviews with Stephen King Stephen King was asked what he thought about Jonathan Franzen and He said Jonathan Franzen Franzen is a terrific Writer, but he has absolutely no sense of humor. I thought that was funny as someone who's tried reading Franzen I like Franzen as someone, you know, and I don't give a fuck personality Appreciate that. He's a jerk. He's an asshole. He has some horrible horrible views But I do like the fact that he doesn't care I like damn near anybody who doesn't care what other people think about him But I thought it was funny for King to mention Franzen so heavily in this one and all the writing advice I remember that much and it wasn't really writing advice It was just it was offering a bit of solidarity to people who who might think that King is out of touch with other writers He still knows even though he doesn't believe in writer's block neither do I not because of him But you know, I've never I've never had it so it doesn't exist. No, I'm just kidding. I'm messing with you I know people have it, but he he wrote the story It felt like to tell those people to give it a little bit of solidarity with the people who struggle with writer's block Because there's nothing scarier than a blank page. I think that's from writing dot not writing dot com from on writing his memoir and Book on writing Anyways, it's more of a memoir than anything else, but what I'm getting at is there's There's a lot in this story to make you go Okay, well if other people suffer if other authors suffer like this then maybe it's not so bad that I do But I don't know if you're a writer and you struggle with writer's block and you read the story Did you get that feeling whatsoever? I don't know. Let me know down there in the doobly-doo Also, let me know if I missed anything and if it bleeds or if I missed anything if I missed anything Any connections whatsoever in all four stories? Let me know down there in the doobly-doo. I Always forget the name of this story It comes to me rather quickly, but I always stumble thinking of the name of this book I I really enjoyed the the structure of this one Today we're gonna be talking about connections with the Langoliers if you're new to this series I highly suggest going back and watching it from episode one I have over 50 episodes at this point for Thursday theories where I connect all of Stephen King's work to the dark tower And the King universe as a whole With with this one and my connection for Langoliers real quick is the the Finney, you know that they they travel through Or the the Aurora Bray Alice or the rip in time or whatever you want to call it. I consider it a Finney That's my my connection to the dark tower. This is a theory. It's not been supported Well, I I support it in the video that I did for it, but it's not supported by King or on the dark tower Threads that kind of thing or the official connections to the dark tower with with this one that This one's gonna cause maybe maybe not controversy But maybe some This is gonna be one of those ones like Carrie a lot of people disagreed with my theory video for Carrie that you might disagree with me On this one. I'm going to try and give you my talking points But again, it's just a theory and this is all for fun. This isn't facts, okay? So with this one, I got a very very strong Vibe from this one that it connects to the Langoliers There are certain scenes in the book and the book is told in reverse It starts with act 3 goes to act 2 goes to act 1 and then it ends Another a theme of the Langoliers that I find interesting is the idea that we need to live in the moment There is no going back. You need to enjoy this life as it comes about and if you try to go back back You're all you're going to find is destruction or Or nothingness by the end of it and one of the things that really connected hard for me was watching The stars in the sky blink out and just completely disappear as if the universe was being eaten So I'm going to connect this to Langoliers in that aspect because I do feel like time is being eaten up If that's the that's the best way I can describe it and it's the way that you know the Langoliers Just take up time or eat up to they they devour it and that's kind of what it feels like Here. I don't really agree with the idea that this book ties into the stand I don't I don't I don't see it. Yes, it is an end of the world scenario But other than that, I feel it ties more into the Langoliers now I may be completely off and if you want to explain to me why I am Completely out of touch Down there in the doobly-doo. Please do. I don't mind it. In fact, if you make a good argument Opinion. Um, so this one that's how I'm going to connect this one. Sorry these videos These individual videos are short. Um, but like I said in the last one I'm doing these because my internet isn't so great and trying to get them up And if I put all these things together, I am pretty sure it will be a 30 45 minute video. Tell me What you didn't like why you thought this book was meh or it was terrible or whatever Let me know those things and if if I don't have anybody to pin for other reasons I'll pin you I I do want to know how many people actually feel that this ties into the stand So I'm going to leave that question for you also How and why do you think this one ties into the stand outside of the apocalyptic scenario or end of the world scenario For mr. Harrigan's phone the connections are very very simple. Um, if you Have been a long time fan of the show or if you know about the the Thursday theory series that I do Or if you don't this message is for you. Um, I have over 50 episodes so far in this series where I connect every single book Uh, that steven king has ever written even the short stories novellas everything to the dark tower universe Um, I'm very behind on that. I'm working on storm of the century right now That one's a little it's a little harder to do because It is a script and I don't like reading scripts Um, I've thought about just doing the movie But there's some stuff that I remember in the script that didn't actually make it into the movie So I need to reread the story itself On to mr. Harrigan's phone and how it connects to the dark tower universe in my uh episode for revival I connected uh revival to the dark tower universe. I will link to that video down there in the doobly-doo Um, but this one occur this story occurs in harlow Which is the same town in which revival begins. So there's your there's your hard connect because Uh revival has a hard connect to the dark tower universe Um and things like uh the black house the talisman that kind of thing Uh in this one also there are Numerous mentions of castle rock and the things that happened in castle rock And I of course connected castle rock to the dark tower universe also Um some spoilers for the book this story was was fantastic. Um, there's nothing really new here But I did love the writing and I love the story It's a bit of uh harvey's uh phone call or whatever whatever it's called from uh just after sunset I think is the collection that's in Um that one mixed with a bit of guindy's button box It's a story about a boy who and an hearts in the land It says a bit of that also because it's about a young man named craig who reads to Mr. Harrigan who's an elderly rich man. Um, who's you can't see Well, I think that's the reasoning for the reading. Um, I can't actually remember uh, but the uh The the plot is built on the chassis that the phone that mr. Harrigan is buried with Um, the technology he's buried with craig uses it to enact Revenge on on people. Uh, he he keeps calling mr. Harrigan telling him about his problems And even though craig it's a it's a passive thing He he's not well There is a one point where he he brings up specifically that he wants something bad to happen to somebody And mr. Harrigan or whatever is lurking in place of mr. Harrigan through this phone Is uh, it is enacting revenge on craig's behalf I think one of the most the one of the most striking Points of this story is the relationship Between the main character craig and mr. Harrigan because these two characters are so vastly different And all the books that craig reads to mr. Harrigan are about greed are about corruption on top of that Their authors are problematic. Uh, this is from no information of mine. My buddy Scott Kemper He's the one who told me about this. I have not read the books by those authors because I did know that they were problematic Um, and I just don't care to read that also It's just not my uh genre of choice But I find the not that really the world the character development without actually talking about the characters using the fiction That mr. Harrigan consumes and prefers to consume uh balanced with uh How craig reacts to it I think that that's the most striking part of this book and while he does reuse concepts The theme is holy Original I feel Um, especially the delivery like I said you have you have nothing that comes right out and says Um that mr. Harrigan is a terrible person or that he's corrupt or that he's greedy or any of these things It's all it's all built in the subtext and that's why I love this book so much Um, of course, I've been hearing a lot of people going man. It was okay Or is overdone or whatever and that's completely valid completely valid points But I loved it. I really enjoyed it and the way it connected to revival being in the same town of harlow I appreciated that also So did I miss anything? I know I didn't go down. Um, I actually wrote down all of the connections to kasa rock on a uh The back of an envelope and then I lost the envelope But I know that there were numerous things in kasa rock So if somebody wants to put down there in the comments, uh telling people exactly Which things that uh, they found specifically in kasa rock. Please feel free to um, the I'll I'll pin whoever you know has the most concise Uh, I comment down there in the doobly-doo. Anyways, so Like I said, if I missed anything, please let me know If you would like to talk about spoilers You can fully talk about spoilers down there in the doobly-doo anybody who comes across this video And is upset about the spoilers It's going to happen on these thursday theorist videos because I have to talk about the content of the book So be wary down there in the comment section. Um, but let me know what you thought about certain scenes I know we talked about whether or not people liked it in the actual review of the book Now I want to know the scenes that you liked the most or the scenes that you didn't like the most I would love to hear those things because I thought this story was fantastic And I would love to hear your opinions on why you think it wasn't so until next time. I have an e you have an u This has been another thursday theorist review. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye. Bye
