Waiting on my copy to be delivered, sounds like there's some good ones in there! I hate flying too so should be extra good!
I was on a flight once that had a loose screw on the wing, I stared at that screw for about three hours.

Maybe there was........I'm sure there's something like 3 million screws in a plane but I was convinced that this screw, this single 3 inch screw flapping about was the most important one on/in the plane!

It was. It totally was.

Planes can fly with one wing right???

There are a number of interesting hypotheses being discussed on the CastleRockTV Reddit thread.
Several of them suggest that

Spoiler

The Kid and Henry are variants of the same person, originally from alternate universes, and that the man in the woods who locked Henry in the camper was a variant of Henry's father the pastor

.

that is interesting. hmm never thought of that two

yeh i think molly will last, the show does need some basic characters to make it to next season i think. i dont think the kid is evil he just causes people to do bad things. what happend to ruth at the end? I thought she was done with the show....... i dont think we will ever really know untill epeisode 10
it could be a whole bunch of our theorys. i dont think that the kid is randal flagg.

I missed the 27 reference. I am thinking that Molly has been like a conduit through all this. Also wondering if she will make it through the next episode alive.
You have a good point about the towns being related. Hadn't thought of that either. The series is a real cliffhanger. After I watch an episode I seem to have more questions than answers.

kingricefan and GNTLGNT -- both of you were reading Flight or Fright -- what were your standout stories?

edited to add: anyone else reading this and care to throw out your favorites?

....Joe Hill's was quite the combination of sci-fi and creepy, Steve's was excellent.....I also enjoyed the Tremayne tale.....Lucifer was a disturbing bit of jet-set karma.....

Okay, in this day and age, who in the h*!! would

Spoiler

Yes, a thousand times YES! I don't know if it's intentional (maybe will be part of the larger mystery of the plot) or what, but everyone tastes things they shouldn't taste on this show!!!! I know there a ton of other examples, but the only other one coming to me at this time is Molly tasting the soap shavings on the ground when The Kid disappeared from her place. *shudders* Among the many other evils of Castle Rock, I think people tasting unidentified substances is top of my list.

I hope this comes out on DVD.

I don't read this post unless you want spoilers...since I have no clue how to put them up. I have not watch the last one but..I think that voice they hear in woods is not good. Pastor thinks it God. But who say it his God or a good God. Has for boy in jail. Maybe he cousin to IT...he feeds off of people pain and misery. He dose not make them do it. But he dose not try to stop them from doing it. Like family that killed each other. Mental place he went to that had fire. He just brings pain and suffering and sort of watches it go by. Mind you I am behind by one

I was thinking about what Coolallosaurus mentioned about the first time adult Deaver is introduced.

Spoiler

He talks about what it would take for him to murder someone. Says he would have to have the order come down straight from God in order to follow through on them. I believe this first monologue will have great significance when the story starts to tie up. He also mentions that you don't get a "do-over" when you take a life. He says that again when his client's execution doesn't take. I think this and Ruth's involuntarily time shifts are also going to have significance with a relation to each other. Someone's murder is going to be redeemed.

Another clue that ties the kid and Deaver and Ruth together is in the episode where all three are asked by a doctor to repeat back words they've heard in any order. I also think this indicates a yet-unrevealed link between them.

I wonder about that, too. Definitely something to consider. To make spoilers just make brackets around the word spoiler at the beginning of your message and another brackets with a /spoiler inside. Like this

[ spoiler ] message [ /spoiler ]

but remove the spaces inside the brackets to make it work the right way.

Well, Deej, of course I liked Steve's tale, and Joe's, and Bev's. Cargo was a standout for me. Quite creepy and it lingers in my head. Murder In The Air was good. I don't think I had ever read Matheson's Nightmare At 20,000 feet and quite enjoyed it as I had only seen the Shatner version from Twilight Zone. (It's better without Shatner in it! ) Some of the older tales I didn't even finish though, I have to admit. I had previously read Dan Simmons tale and really liked it so I didn't do a re-read on that one. All in all this is a great collection of stories.

Good point! I only remembered the primary action (execution), but totally forgot the more nuanced dialogue from that scene. Also good point about the doctor. I didn't pick up on them all visiting the same doctor until the latest episode.

I have decided to incorporate the show into my syllabus; now the problem is deciding whether to assign the whole season or select episodes. Choices, choices (watching the final episode will probably also help with that)!

Spoiler

I have somewhat of a hypothesis on what may have happened to Deaver as a boy. Deaver was the devil boy that Lacy said God had told him about. Lacy kidnapped Deaver and kept him captive in his basement. This is backed up when Alan finds Deaver and checks his fingers for frostbite and asks him if he's been inside somewhere.

Maybe the kid discovered Deaver in Lacy's basement. He used his peculiar ability to appear as someone a person knows to appear to Lacy as Deaver. At the same time he set Deaver free.

This wouldn't explain why Lacy told the kid to ask for Deaver, though, so who knows?

Ohhh, I love this theory! It's a good reading of the evidence we've been presented. Although, I agree, I, too, am not sure how to explain

Spoiler

Lacy giving The Kid Henry's name. I feel like we're still only getting a surface view of Castle Rock and the final episodes are going to expose the whole rotten innards of the mystery. Your theory also helps explain the weird soap figurine Henry holds after Alan finds him, and how the same figurine is in Molly's model (left by The Kid).
