Talamasca: The Secret Order Series-Premiere Recap: More Vampires, No Interviews

I’m saying this as a big fan of Interview With the Vampire (the show). I really appreciate how the writers have taken the story in new directions, and I think that approach can work well – we’ve seen similar things succeed on cable before. Talamasca is different from a direct adaptation of Anne Rice’s books, and as the first show in AMC’s expanded universe to do that, I truly hope it does well! I’m rooting for it.

It: Welcome to Derry Series-Premiere Recap: We’ve Got Trouble

The episode begins with a shocking scene: the death of 12-year-old Matty Clements. Unlike the story of Georgie, Matty is a younger-looking child who still uses a pacifier. He’s at a showing of The Music Man when he sneaks in, and the song “Ya Got Trouble” becomes a recurring theme. After being kicked out, Matty tries to leave Derry by hitchhiking with a family – a man, his pregnant wife, and their two children. However, he quickly realizes something is terribly wrong. The family’s behavior is disturbing: the daughter is eating raw liver, the mother uses harsh language, and the son spells out frightening words. When Matty discovers they’re driving back to Derry, he tries to take control of the car, accidentally bumping the mother’s stomach and triggering a premature birth. She delivers a monstrous, winged demon baby with empty eye sockets. The baby flies around the car and ultimately kills Matty, becoming the episode’s first victim. While Pennywise is missed, the show deserves credit for creating a new and terrifying form for It.

XRP’s Wild Ride: Will It Moon or Crash Like My Diet? 🚀🍩

Right now, XRP is flirting with the $2.60-$2.70 range like a nervous teenager asking someone to prom.

If it somehow manages to break through $2.70 without collapsing in exhaustion, the next stop is $2.87. Beyond that? A lofty $3.10, which is basically crypto’s version of Everest-rarely reached, often fatal.
