It: Welcome to Derry Recap: Buried Past

So, what’s the point of Welcome to Derry? It’s a valid question. Most prequels explain how established characters came to be, but this show hasn’t even shown us Pennywise in his familiar form yet, and we know his history goes back further than the 1960s. Plus, there are built-in story limitations – we know Pennywise won’t be finally defeated until 2016, and we already know how the Black Spot storyline ends. This isn’t to say the show can’t be good, but it feels crowded and makes you wonder what story it’s actually trying to tell. The second episode spends a lot of time introducing characters and revealing information without a central focus, resulting in a confusing hour, even though it has some strong moments.

Elsbeth Recap: Let ’Er Rip (Van Winkle, That Is)

The strict rules in Sleepy Hollow aren’t actually official – they just reflect Sharon’s personal tastes. She presents them as formal rules, neatly organized in a binder, and delivers it with a welcome pie to new resident Beryl, creating the impression they’re more binding than they really are.

10 Years Ago, 1 of the Worst 3DS Games of All Time Helped Save Nintendo

The 2010s were a difficult decade for Nintendo. The Wii U wasn’t successful, and while the 3DS did okay, it didn’t reach the popularity of its predecessor. Although Nintendo eventually turned things around with the Switch, the company faced some serious challenges. Interestingly, a surprisingly poor-quality 3DS game actually played a role in their recovery.
