I always was of the mind that, at the end, Linoge was not trying to punish Mike Anderson. I think he was trying to reward him for being so upright and moral. He was giving him a last glimpse to let him know that Ralphie was alive, and would be for a very long time. It's very clear in their interactions that Linoge clearly respects Mike. He tells him his big secret (he cheated in college to pass a class...that's really nothing compared to the secrets of the rest of the town), and unlike the others, Mike eventually owns up to it in public. He fails the first time with just the two of them by saying Linoge is wrong, but when it matters, he tells everyone that their sins are nothing compared to giving the creature what he wants. And as for the heartbreak he causes him at the end, Ralphie showing what has happened to him probably deadens it a little...his little boy is something else now. And it's been so long since Linoge was human, I think he's just assuming that Mike will take his "gift" at face value to him: There. Your boy is alive, safe and powerful. Let your mind be at ease, constable, the one truly moral person from Little Tall Island. It feels malicious to us, but to Linoge, it's a kindness. Maybe now Mike can really finally begin to heal. Everyone else on the island that has survived at that point has in some fashion, with Molly having elected to lie to herself until it's her truth. Now, maybe with the closure, his wounds can finally begin to scab over.

I may be the world's biggest fan of this miniseries. I watch it a few times a year, including at least once every February. I have a couple of fan theories about it, one of which I asked Stephen King back when he was on Facebook (he didn't answer). Andre Linoge is one of the most powerful villains in fiction, and as you said, all the more intimidating for how slow, deliberate, and controlled he is. I thought this video was fantastic. I've never heard anyone else express this much appreciation for SotC except myself.

Linoge always wanted that one child and manipulated everyone else in the rigged game in order to get this outcome.

Love this one. I always enjoy the small town setting from King as well as the atmosphere in them and Colm's performance in this is so callous that it becomes one of the most intriguing things about the movie to watch. As the viewer you become very invested in what he wants so much so that it keeps you watching to see just what the hell it is. I remember seeing this one back when it came on and I knew nothing about it beforehand so it was such a pleasant surprise. I wish we still got stuff like this. Nowadays most people are so obsessed with runtime instead of just sitting back and getting lost in a story and it's characters. But at least we can always go back to enjoy movies like this. Great video as always, Lance!

I couldn’t imagine giving up my daughter either. In the scene where the girl kills her boyfriend, it does show that someone like Mike could fight off Linoge’s influence, and the whole town could if they were strong enough. The problem is he was able to convince them all early on that he was capable of doing everything he said he could, and their moral weaknesses made it easy to influence them.

And it’s true that it’s lampshaded in the diologue when he discards the cheating boyfriend guy, that his mind control influence had certain limits, indeed no one remotely like Mike is ever seen being mentally controlled by him in terms of strength of character and will power. The only thing that ever seemed to get to him was anyone he didn’t have enough on so he keeps Mike and Hal at a more discreet distance. 🤔

The only thing I disagree with is the statement that Linoge could have killed everyone on the island. The miniseries goes to great lengths to show that he is powerful, but not all-powerful. That's why Mike was so important. He was the only truly "good" person on the island unafraid and always willing to stick to his morals. The rest of the town was so frightened of Linoge they happily gave into his demands and believed his every word.

Deserves a blu-ray release! Sure I read somewhere that the *SPOILER* town should have not conceded because Linoge was no longer as powerful as he was and he wouldn't have been able to take on the entire town at once. Still powerful but using the fear of the town against them with smaller demonstrations of his power.

Thank you for highlighting this one. I have difficulty deciding between this and the original It as the best of those King adaptations at that time. As for André Linoge, I have always seen him as a form of vampire. He didn't suck your blood but instead drained your will. Like vampires who could not invade your home - they had to be invited - you had to give Linoge what he wanted freely and by your own choice. He couldn't just take. You had to sign that contract willingly, as it were. And of course, he had his own methods of coercion, not in seduction but in exposure which fits the motif of the winter storm. Overexposure kills in the form of frostbite, and amoral overexposure becomes this particular vampire's form of bite.

The choice you see as morally best depends on if you view the dilemma from a materialist or spiritual perspective... They should have stood up for what's truly right in the sight of God. Hence why the show implies the Roanoke Island folk disappeared, for this reason. People were more rooted morally in the past because they were more rooted in God, they made the right choice spiritually and morally by perishing righteously with their souls in tact. My views are not popular these days but I believe them to be true... Great show currently on Hulu.

This is one of those movies that I can not rewatch. It is just too upsetting.

Though I love Storm of the Century. I can recall reading one of King's short stories, where "The Reach" was mentioned as this bizarre, fantastical and possibly evil place. Does anyone else know the name of this specific King novella?

This completely messed me up as a kid. I can’t stand to watch things with Colm Feore in them to this day.

Lance, nicely done. Is this story connected to the dark tower series in any way? I have heard other king novels connect in some way or another. Would love to have you do a video on this subject. thank you
