So...
I was so hooked by the whole season. It was so full of Stephen King's vibes all over, with good mysteries and the kind of 'real lifes fears' that turn into supernatural horror, as usual in King's books. And I felt a lot of "The Dark Tower" elements to make this season a good one... Instead they wasted my time with this end.
But it let me down with this end.
SPOILER HERE...
SO, Adopted Henry ends up caging The Kid 'biological Henry' again, because of ... I am not sure why, and it is not explained either. The Kid saved Adopted Henry when he was 12 years old, and in return he caged him again, who knows why and for how long, in the very same place Lacy did, with the same treatmen. The Kid only wants to go home, and it is denied to him by Adopted Henry.
This would explain why in Castle Rock 'bad things happens', because they have an anomaly in this timeline. They have someone who doesn't belong to this alternate universe, and the those bad things grows in proportion to "The Schisma" growing in the verge of The Thinny in Castle Wood.
At least this is what I get from this ending.
END OF SPOILERS
This is the second serie I see a waste of a very good protrayed Bill Skarsgaar's character, ending him in a not a clever end (being Roman Godfrey's Hemlock Grove the first) wasted in a bad anti-climax.
Don't get me wrong, I love anti-climax endings when they are well treated, full of things that could get me talking about it for a long (for instance Frank Darabont's "The Mist" or "Carrie" from 1976).
This finale try to be clever, and Kingsonian, giving us an anti-climax. And it is not. It lets more questions than answers (very un-King, let say) and with a mild cliffhanger for Jackie Torrance, that was a waste of a character in the entire season.
I'll give it 5/10 just because Sissy Spacek and Bill Sgarsgaard.
I hope next season do it better.
Watch at your own risk.
