I’ve delayed watching the last three episodes. But I’m so ready for them now.

Don’t get me wrong: I love all the movies and shows. They each deliver something special to me. But I always wanted something where the space wizards weren’t going to save the day. Where ordinary people are put into extraordinary circumstances and forced to answer the question: “what now?”

Hands down one the most mature Star Wars has ever been. It’s everything I wanted in Star Wars

Damn fine writer that @stephenking.bsky.social.

He does the same thing with Sam Uris in IT. And Jack Torrence in THE SHINNING. And in CUJO…

I was happy to go on hearing about the thousand inconveniences of life without power after a storm offers us. Content to feel the tension of hanging out with a unliked neighbor out of necessity. But then he reminds us: Something is coming. Something dangerous.

Like right now in THE MIST I’m so involved in thinking about how a grocery store would function without power and all the hundreds of ways we get tricked up without power that I legit forgot there was a terrifying Mist that is encroaching on the narrators world. That it was just beginning.
