Castle Rock - Henry Deaver *
Henry Deaver goes before a medical panel with a device certain to be quite the Alzheimer's breakthrough. If anything it will be the kind of implant that changes the game in terms of giving those with Alzheimer's a better long term life. Inspired by his own mother's Alzheimer's battle, this was very important to him.
Returning to Castle Rock after his father committed suicide, Henry steps back into the house, finding it quite a junk heap, a domicile subject to a hoarder's mentality. Each room compiled and comprised of paper, piles and stacks of accumulated garbage not thrown away but kept within the walls of a two story house perfectly suited for campfire stories where the kids walk past real fast in fear of the boogeyman.
Henry doesn't anticipate a kid also named Henry Deaver from a different timeline leading him into the woods, accidentally finding himself thrust into said timeline!
Henry isn't a devil. He's not a boogeyman. He isn't some royal terror. He's never shown any signs of hurting anyone or wanting to harm anyone. This poor guy couldn't tell anyone that he's from another timeline...who'd believe him?!
Lacy locked this poor guy, a guy with a wife and potential child on the way, in prison for 27 years! And because he's in the wrong time, like the human body using fever or pain to prescribe something's wrong, the timeline responds similarly as violence and all sorts of bad, odd things continue until everything (and everyone!) is restored. Molly can help with that, but Andre Holland's Henry Deaver (Ruth barren in this timeline but fertile in the other when this episode starts) needed to remember what happened when he was younger, memory recall unearthing what we see ourselves when Skarsgard's Henry Deaver meets him in his rightful timeline.
And imaging two distinctively different Alans, Skarsgard's Henry had to have been startled, frazzled, and rent in two emotionally when left in the trunk to be carried off to jail by Lacy while knowing that this man basically was a father to him in his own timeline. That Ruth is able to leave Matthew in Skarsgard's timeline and unable in Holland's further illustrates how two timelines can be similar and yet different. Zilewski as a detective in Skarsgard's timeline while a dead security guard in Holland's is also a shock to the system for Henry...his awkward silence when meeting the security guard timeline version after knowing the detective before all this mess started, poor Skarsgard had every reason to be as he is when we first meet him at the beginning of the series.
Henry Deaver gives you a lot of exposition. It gives patient viewers a lot of information. And Skarsgard, with this after his memorable turn as Pennywise in It, is finding his foothold in genre, especially Stephen King related material. As enigmatic as he is presented early in the season, Skarsgard truly is only a man who belongs somewhere else. Watching the pilot for 11/22/63, where the past seems to show resistance and threatens Jake against trying to change things, I think it is safe to say that in the wrong timeline until people are back where they belong those "relocated" are "not wanted" and must return.
