I enjoyed this show very much. Usually TV ruins Stephen King books. I did not read this one, but next to the original IT, this was by far the best adaptation for TV I have seen. I read the producers interview on why he did some things differently than the book, ( like not having multiple redo's in the time travel scenerio) and he made the right choices for sure. Excellent mini series. High quality too. I was impressed.
Al is dead on this side of the rabbit-hole and a child on the other, he can't be spoken to.
Which makes you wonder what would happen if Jake went through the rabbit-hole and simply laid low for a few decades until Al builds the diner and steps through it himself. Would it be nested, recursive? Within Al's rabbit-hole, would the past try to correct itself to the normal timeline for him, even though that's not the normal timeline for Jake? Or would it only be additive?
I'm rather surprised he didn't come back and talk with Al.
