A Crucial Change Saved Star Trek’s 1960s Pilot Episode From Disaster

Despite never being broadcast initially, the original Star Trek pilot is still incredibly important to the entire series. It laid the groundwork for the show’s core ideas, introduced Captain Pike, and shaped the character of Spock as envisioned by Leonard Nimoy.

How To Watch IT: Welcome to Derry Online And Stream Horror Prequel Series From Anywhere

The IT movies from 2017 and 2019 focused on Bill, Bev, Richie, and the rest of The Loser Club’s fight against Pennywise. Welcome to Derry, however, looks at the backstory of the town and the supernatural events that have caused so much tragedy for its residents over the years, drawing from the ‘interlude’ sections of the novel.
