 Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to Castle Talk with... Shoo! Today we are talking about episode 6 of Castle Rock Anhulu. The episode is entitled Filter. This time the title of the episode connects hard into the actual episode because, again, spoilers for probably the entire season up until now. All six episodes. The deaf guy, I can't remember his name. You remember his name? Odin. Yeah, Odin's something. Something that piqued my interest. I forgot to write down his last name. Odin and his translator. Yeah, Rory Culkin of all people. Yeah, that was cool. Looking homeless. I mean, just looking like a Culkin, I guess. That's bad. Macaulay, I'm sorry. Get off them drugs. Okay. You haven't seen the recent... I haven't. Y'all, he needs to keep up. Macaulay Culkin looks good. Back to the shot. Yes, he looks good now. He's looking healthy. Wow, good job Macaulay. Anyways, back to Castle Rock. Mike from It was in it. Sorry, I didn't look up near name. Wendell. Wendell was Mike and... Yes, yes. The same actor who played Mike in the reboot, the reimagining, whatever you want to call it, the 2017 adaptation of It is playing Henry Beaver's son Wendell. So that makes me wonder who else is going to pop up later on or maybe even in like a season two or whatever. Oh, another thing y'all keep telling me down there, but I haven't mentioned it in the video, Molly Strand. The actress who played Molly Strand was in Rose Red, so my bad. We missed that one. I saw Rose Red. Rose Red. Yeah, exactly. I saw that one time. Stephen King doesn't even talk about Rose Red anymore. It was like the shining mixed with Winchester House and it was really, it was a very strange, strange mini-series. Kind of like The Golden Years. Very strange, came out of nowhere. It's not based on any of his actual books or short stories or anything. Well, you can't have a hit every single time. Yeah, yeah. It's also like Sleepwalkers. I don't think you've ever seen that one. Somebody gets killed with a corn cob in that movie. Pretty awesome, yeah. Maybe in the ear? No, no, no. That's the best part of it, is where he gets killed with it. Not anywhere, no, no, no. Nowhere like that. Y'all know what I'm talking about. Take a look in the comments what I'm talking about. Alright. Let me know. I'll come back and look for y'all. Yeah. So this episode, go ahead, come right out and say it. Well, actually we've already been talking for a while. He thinks it was trash. I don't think it was trash. I think it's easily the worst episode so far. At least my least favorite. I didn't care much for it at all. In fact, I was hollering at the end of the episode. I was like, is that it? His chair screaming at the TV and just left the room. I was mad. He didn't even turn off our PlayStation that we used to stream Hulu on for everybody to see. He just left this. I just got him to walk away. And we were all like, I was mad. Okay. I was mad. I had no idea. I was mad. That didn't shit happen. I mean, they say some stuff happened. I guess we got a... Maybe me and the older child. You know what it was? It was a 40 minute teaser for the rest of the season. That's all it was. Yes. It was. It was some plot advancement. Okay. The only thing we... Thanks a lot. But how much plot advancement did they really do? There might be other timelines. We don't even know. See, here's the thing. Here's the thing I'm worried about. When they pick up in the next episode, I'm worried that Mama Ruth and Wendell are just going to be in the next room chilling or something like drinking a cold one. And I am hoping they are off in some alternate timeline. I hope so too. I hope. But the way this show is going, it's just going to pop up. It's going to be... They're going to be... Oh, I love the... I love that they're going to be out back like smoking a doobie or something. And you say, Oh, I left the stove on. I'm sorry. It's going to be something stupid like that. That's what I think. But if it's more... Okay. And here's another one that I really hated about this episode. Going back to the whole convenience factor of advancing the plot. Pang board in the dang car. Really? He's happened to be there with me. He just conveniently found it in the donkyard. Not just conveniently, but he just happened to be standing there when they rolled up with it. Yeah, just randomly. What? Really? Had he left like 30 seconds earlier, he would have missed that car completely. But I think that's actually kind of minor considering the little content we got this time. We got a little more... This is the key episode that unlocks the rest of the series because we find out about the schizma. We find out about the schizma from Odin and Homeless Rory Coker. We know that that's what Henry has been hearing this whole time and he gets shut in the dang filter. So why does Molly hear so well? Is Molly actually... Does she have talents or is she hearing the schizma too? Does she have a better filter? There's so many questions and of course I know this is J.J. Abrams... Is she from a different timeline or somewhere? Whatever it might be. I don't know. And I know this is a nitpick but I'm getting tired of questions. I'm getting tired of questions piling up. I'm going to forget about some of the questions I had earlier in the season because we keep getting piled on with more questions and very little answers. And I know what... I understand this is J.J. Abrams. Can we say it? Or at least I said it in the last episode. If by episode six they don't really give us anything I'm... just kind of not here for it. I mean I'll watch it. It's dumb fun but you can't think too hard about it. It's well shot. They're not giving you any content to really consume and think about like you would want to with anything that has Stephen King's name thrown anywhere on it. This is just that... It doesn't feel like there would have been more showdown up to this point there would have been more showdown in a Stephen King novel. I think somebody said that the behind the scenes... I'm going to talk about that in a second. The behind the scenes says it's supposed to be built like a Stephen King novel. I've been studying Stephen King my whole life. It's not built like a Stephen King novel. Yeah, they straight up lied to us. Well, the... and another thing... I'm going to throw this out there. People keep saying that I should watch... We should watch the documentary series that they release every single month. I've read about that. I'm not watching it because I believe the show should stand on its own. I don't believe... We shouldn't have to watch a back story and actually get story to be able to watch the other story. The author's note to explain a novel. That shouldn't be it. Those things should be cool little asides on how this scene was shot or whatever. It shouldn't actually explain the series. We shouldn't be getting plot development from something not everybody's going to watch. Who thought of that stupid idea? Another thing it's almost like the Matrix doing their thing where they did the comic books. No. The anime. The anime, the video game and the movies. And you had to do all of it to get the entire story. Not everybody's going to go out and play a video game. Not everybody cares for anime. I liked that, but I thought it was too much content to put together. It was cool for multimedia for people like us who are who are more than just casual viewers. Sure. But another thing I want to talk about is the weirdness going on with Ruth. Is she really time traveling? Is she really stuck in a riff where she's hopping in and out of timelines? Did she take Wendell off with her? The thing that got me was How much does she actually know? Right. It's all of her memory issues really having to do with this schism. Whatever it is. The universe being in turmoil. But there's a part where she's looking out the window and Nick is in the backyard dressed like her husband. I thought we buried him in that suit. Which pinged off her. I know she mentioned some. She caught it and I got to think it also is Nick Dever? Is Nick Papa Dever younger Papa Dever and he's stuck outside of the timeline also? And that would explain why he didn't age because he got stuck. And why she's not freaked out by him. Right. But it doesn't explain because I'm going to tell you right now. If I see Nick if I see Nick in my backyard looking like he looked in that suit like deflated ghost kind of deal I'm going to scream. First I'm going to poop myself then I'm going to scream. And then we send the dog you out. And then we send the dog you out. Nick creepy. He's still creepy. But again remember how last episode ended? And he's also not giving us much. I figured with him being out of prison maybe we would learn a little more from him. Or at least learn some story through his actions and some storytelling that way. He doesn't say anything just let him go adventure and show us some stuff. No. Can't do that either. And another reason I think that the next episode is going to open up on some bull-a-bull is because the last episode ended on a cliffhanger and that ended up being some bull-a-bull. Because we ended up getting into this one and the paying boy was like I thought you were going to help her. What are you talking about? I got you to car and Nick's not even hearing it. So not only with this episode did we not get a whole lot of like fan service going on we didn't get anything. There wasn't many Easter eggs at all. I mean you don't advance the plot much but you also don't at least do the fan service you gotta do one or the other. It would be great if you could actually do both. It was definitely a middle of the season episode that's for sure. One thing I noticed and this is a very very loose connection because I didn't find any other Easter eggs period at all if you did leaving down in the doobly-doo but the sound in the wood the schisma all that stuff reminds me very much of the maybe the it's not the windigo but the sound and everything the presence that Louis Creed feels in the woods when he goes to bury a gauge or any time that he's in the or Rachel or whoever he buries because I think there's two people and the cat end up getting buried so there's total of three people that Louis buries. But the he feels something and he hears something and there's a presence out there I don't know if I'm just reaching because there were no other Easter eggs in there or that maybe is a soft tie-in I don't know blue if you have there buddy I'd love to hear what you think about that. So what are your final thoughts? What about Molly's conversation with Henry? That was a whole bunch of BS. She could have told him that an episode what, two, three, something like that? No, I'm just I'm so confused. I don't understand where that's going. Did he beat his father down and she saw it and then she ended up killing for her? Did she kill him because Henry felt, I don't know y'all I'm so confused at this point and confusion is fine if they bring it all together but right now it feels like a completely different show now that they've introduced the schism. Which I keep on wanting to call the miasma for some reason but that's like a cloud of funk. So my opinion and I'm sure there's going to be loads of you down there telling me how wrong I am and that's fine but my opinion is this episode was hot, hot, I can't even pronounce it hot garbage. Isn't that the same thing as trash? Well no this is hot garbage. This is like compost. There's steam coming off of it. It was pretty bad y'all I was mad. I was really upset maybe when I watch it again I won't feel as bad because once the series is over I'm going to go back and watch the entire I'm going to binge the whole thing and I'm going to be like okay well that makes more sense but I'm hoping that's what happens that that will make more sense because in Stephen King books even other than The Dark Tower you don't get much of that. You don't get much of oh I didn't notice that the first time around at least not for me so I know The Dark Tower is like that but the rest of his books aren't so if you don't have anything else to say I'm just kind of here with the show I mean at this point it's like alright come on just give me something just something so until next time I have an E, you have an U your shell is down here in the doobly-doo we'll talk to you guys later bye bye
