El momento más esperado en "It: Welcome to Derry" sucedió y fue la aparición del hambriento y letal "Pennywise"; en el quinto episodio llamado "29 Neibolt Street", la dirección más terrorífica de toda Derry, ocurrió una exploración desde dos puntos de vista, una en donde un grupo buscaba encontrar y controlar a Eso y otro, donde un grupo de niños se llenaron de esperanza para la búsqueda y posible salvación de sus amigos que pareciera estar atrapados en las alcantarillas de tan espeluznante lugar, para sorpresa de ambos, lo que hizo presencia fue la versión más terrorífica de It, una imagen sinónima e icónica del terror que hizo feliz a muchos .
The most anticipated moment in "It: Welcome to Derry" happened, and it was the appearance of the hungry and deadly "Pennywise"; In the fifth episode, titled "29 Neibolt Street," the most terrifying address in all of Derry, an exploration took place from two points of view: one in which a group sought to find and control It, and another in which a group of children were filled with hope for the search and possible salvation of their friends who seemed to be trapped in the sewers of such a creepy place. To the surprise of both, what appeared was the most terrifying version of It, an iconic image synonymous with terror that made many happy.
La paciencia es una virtud que muchas veces es bien recompensada y, aunque todavía falta por ver la plenitud de lo que puede hacer el protagonista de esta historia, creo que de igual manera es muy grato que se pueda observar a plenitud en esta producción que expande la versión y franquicia creada por Muschietti. Este quinto episodio sin ninguna duda es sobre revelaciones, principalmente la del Payaso, pero hubo otras más que hacen funcionar el relato de las tramas de los muchos personajes envueltos en la serie y que parece que esas relaciones nos llevarán a lo que puede ser el caótico final.
Patience is a virtue that is often well rewarded, and although we have yet to see the full extent of what the protagonist of this story is capable of, I think it is equally gratifying to see him in full force in this production, which expands on the version and franchise created by Muschietti. This fifth episode is undoubtedly about revelations, mainly that of the Clown, but there were others that make the story of the many characters involved in the series work, and it seems that these relationships will lead us to what may be a chaotic ending.
En este episodio la referencia se basa en las revelaciones, algo nada ajeno en esta serie, ya que en los últimos episodios se ha hecho del uso de los flashbacks para dar contexto a como funciona el poder de It y de como.debe ser enfrentado, pero en esta oportunidad las revelaciones son en el tiempo actual y justamente eso es muy importante para el desarrollo de porque queda de la historia narrada en esta primera temporada; no hay duda que la relevación del Payaso es lo más importante, pero creo que lo hecho con "Hallorann" y "Hank" es de suma importancia para lo que debe suceder mínimo en los últimos dos episodios; me sigue gustando el protagonismo de "Hallorann", pero más que nada me gusta como la historia de este episodio es escrita porque en mi opinión ninguno de los diferentes arcos se pone uno por encima del otro y eso demuestra el compromiso en sus guionistas directores y por supuesto sus showrunners.
In this episode, the reference is based on revelations, something that is not uncommon in this series, since in recent episodes flashbacks have been used to provide context for how It's power works and how it must be confronted. However, on this occasion, the revelations are in the present tense, and that is precisely what is so important for the development of what remains of the story told in this first season. There is no doubt that the revelation of the Clown is the most important thing, but I think what has been done with "Hallorann" and "Hank" is of utmost importance for what must happen in at least the last two episodes. I still like Hallorann's prominence, but more than anything, I like how the story of this episode is written because, in my opinion, none of the different arcs takes precedence over the others, and that shows the commitment of the writers, directors, and, of course, the showrunners.
Si existe un personaje que puede opacar a los demás, posiblemente ese es el de "Lilly", no me canso en pensar de que ella es "The Final Girl" y quien puede poner fin a esa época hambrienta de It, a pesar de su vulnerabilidad, ella como personaje interpreta el significado de ser un gran amigo, algo que también es muy válido para esta historia en dónde la soledad es una demostración o que genera atracción a It, pero Lilly cree verdaderamente en la esperanza, si fidelidad hacia otros es una virtud, pero también un gran peligro y no solo hacia ella, sino a sus demás amigos; de igual manera, el personaje de Lilly es muy importante y aunque creo que estoy siendo repetitivo en mi opinión sobre el personaje, no hay duda de el grupo de niños es la más relevante, así como Hallorann es el de los adultos.
If there is one character who can overshadow the others, it is probably "Lilly." I never tire of thinking that she is "The Final Girl" and who can put an end to It's hungry era. Despite her vulnerability, she embodies the meaning of being a great friend, something that is also very valid for this story where loneliness is a demonstration or generates attraction to It. But Lilly truly believes in hope. Her loyalty to others is a virtue, but also a great danger, not only to herself but also to her other friends. Similarly, Lilly's character is very important, and although I think I am being repetitive in my opinion about the character, there is no doubt that she is the most relevant of the group of children, just as Hallorann is the most relevant of the adults.
El quinto episodio me generó alegría o satisfacción al ver nuevamente la interpretación de Bill Skarsgård como "Pennywise", fue un episodio muy divertido aunque me hubiera gustado ver mucho más muertes ante la revelacion del payaso, pero como dije anteriormente, la paciencia es una virtud y ahora con la aparición del payaso es más que seguro que el final está cerca, ya que tan solo quedan tres episodios por estrenar y dependiendo de lo que suceda en el próximo, es seguro que la maldad irá creciendo cada vez más en Derry y eso me genera expectativas aunque a la vez precaución en no espérame algo tan desenfrenado y caótico, pero creo que en momentos es imposible no pensar en lo que se debe mostrar para que está primera temporada de la serie sea impactante y que este episodio fuese tan solo un abre boca de lo que influencia Eso en todo un pueblo con una historia llena de terror.
The fifth episode brought me joy and satisfaction as I watched Bill Skarsgård's performance as Pennywise once again. It was a very entertaining episode, although I would have liked to see many more deaths when the clown was revealed. But as I said before, patience is a virtue, and now that the clown has appeared, it's more than certain that the end is near, since there are only three episodes left to air. Depending on what happens in the next one, it's certain that evil will continue to grow in Derry, and that gives me high expectations, although at the same time I'm cautious not to expect something so wild and chaotic. but I think that at times it is impossible not to think about what needs to be shown for this first season of the series to be impactful, and that this episode was just a taste of what influences That in an entire town with a history full of terror.

It was about time Pennywise showed up. I'm following the series and hope the next episodes will be even more surprising. Best regards.
That's what I'm most looking forward to, although I think we'll be exploring the past of whoever took the form of Pennywise, but I think it's clear that the foundations for the evil event that closes the harvest season are being laid, and that makes me think we can expect some interesting developments.
I can't really contribute too much about the content of this show because I didn't even make it 2 episodes in before quitting. I never really got on the Pennywise / It bandwagon. I have always found Penny's powers to be too omnipotent to be realistic. I mean the dude can make you hallucinate anywhere? at any time? That's too far reaching for me. At least with Freddy Kruger you had to go to sleep before he could get you. Pennywise can just do it anytime he wants.
It's true, It's control over Derry is total, and it becomes more powerful when it awakens from its slumber and needs to feed; that makes it more than difficult to face, it's a matter of surviving and then fleeing. I think it's a situation where the villain is extremely powerful, offering little hope, and even more so in this series, which recounts moments before what happened in the two films.
