Hey, Constant Readers: how are we all feeling after the premiere of IT: Welcome To Derry? If you’re a little bit shocked, that’s totally understandable, as the pilot does execute a nice bit of rug-pulling. For the majority of the episode, we’re led to think that we’re being introduced to what is essentially the 1962 iteration of The Losers Club… but then Teddy, Phil, and Suzie meet with horrible tragedy when they encounter a form of IT in the Capitol Theater. It’s exactly the kind of nightmare fuel that fans have been hoping to get from the show – but what if I were to tell you that the bloody peril has really only just begun?
