Hello, listeners! Now, before you go and listen to this episode and then DM or email me about the BLINDINGLY obvious thing that I missed, please allow me to reassure you that as I was editing, I realized.

The robot's name is Stuttering Bill. Like Bill Denbrough from IT. I can't believe that I didn't catch that right away, but I finally managed it, so there we are. Close that messenger window.

These chapters were super entertaining and in many ways, some of King's best attributes as a horror writer are on full display. But.

"Here comes the Deus Ex Machina!"

Ironically, while Miles and I tend to complain about that very problem throughout these books, the actual act of the writer trying to step in was the concept we had the least problem with. What bothered both of us was that even had King not included that little sideshow, the entire scene would have unfolded the exact same way. The note made absolutely no difference, and yet King pats himself on the back, saying that they're "square" now that he's "saved their lives" even though he did no such thing.

But Dandelo was super creepy, I enjoy the tie-back to IT, and the whole thing with Patrick Danville is really sad and sweet at the same time. Plus, I'm glad that Bill The Robot is a good dude with some emotional aspects who was distraught by what was happening to Danville.

I can't believe how close we are to the end of this, and I'm really hoping that we start to regain our footing now that we're out of the woods, so to speak. Thanks so much for listening, see you soon!
