I'll admit, I've never read a single Stephen King book although I have enjoyed the film adaptations. That said, I did watch Misery but that was YEARS ago so as I watched this season of Castle Rock, I had the benefit of not being aware of the connection between the main character, Annie Wilkes and the character from Misery, Annie Wilkes.
Lizzy Kaplan's use of "dirty bird" and subtle mannerisms had me thinking I knew this character from somewhere. A general sense of familiarity, of recognition even if it couldn't be placed.
Only when I started thinking about it, did I put two and two together and it struck me that much more that she is really nailing this character down. Almost uncanny to see really. If I were Kathy Bates, it would freak me out!.
So far, this season seems better than last season which I nearly didn't finish. I just hope this season doesn't introduce elements without at least a half ash explanation ie; the inter-dimensional time portal.
