Anybody else notice that Lloyd literally ran down 42 flights of stairs just to make sure he was at the bottom when Flagg got there?

Legend has it that Bobby Terry is still scroooooing it up

“Bobby Terry!! YA SCREWED IT UP!” That’s when Bobby Terry knew he fucked up.

The "MOON" realization was more intense than Flagg eating that other guy

That line delivery... it's almost worth it for how entertaining Skarsgard can be. A shame he didn't get more direction for being intimidating, because is he could have the scary factor along with his charismatic and goofy side, then we have a decent Flagg.

The clocking sound was speeding up. A fast walk, a trot, a jog, a run, a sprint, and Bobby Terry got all the way around, too late, he was coming, Flagg was coming like some terrible horror monster out of the scariest picture ever made. The dark man's cheeks were flushed with jolly color, his eyes were twinkling with happy good fellowship, and a great hungry voracious grin stretched his lips over huge tombstone teeth, shark teeth, and his hands were held out in front of him, and there were shiny black crow feathers fluttering from his hair. No, Bobby Terry tried to say, but nothing came out. "HEY BOBBY TERRY, YOU SCROOOWED IT UP!" the dark man bellowed, and fell upon the hapless Bobby Terry. There were worse things than crucifixion. There were teeth.

*BOBBY TEHHH-RUYYYYY* *Ya SCA-REWWWWED IT UUUUUP!!!*

They screwed this scene up, because there's no way any of Flagg's underlings would have dissed him like that unless they were suicidal.

For all of the things I disliked about this remake, I definitely think Skarsgard made a good Flagg.

That line was so stupid in the book (I like the book), but Skarsgard delivers it well. Actually creeped me out.

"There were worse things than crucifixion. There were teeth."

Neither the 94 series or this series do the scene justice. Flag goes beast mode in the book.

Great book, everyone should read it.

While Jamey Sheridan was amazing as Flagg, Alexander Skarsgard just has that edge that made it better. It’s like watching a truly scary American Eric Northman

For the people who thought that he wasn't intimidating enough for this scene is missing the whole point of the interaction. The intimidation was already there under the suface. You see bobby terry trying to play hard with his pride against flagg but flagg didn't need to scare him you could see from his reaction by locking the door with a chain on the way out bobby terrys intimidation was the illusion and Flaggs was the reality. Flagg already knew that bobby terry enjoyed disobeying his orders by killing that woman. In that moment when he asked bobby terry if he was sorry he was asking him to humble himself to show who is in charge and to show that he regrets his disobedience. Bobby terry chose to be rude and disrespectful. Flagg hates rudeness thats why at the bottom of the elevator he gives his apologies for the mess. If you see his face walking away from the elevator he didn't seem to get any kind of pleasure showing that side of himself to the public because that showed his anger and it is something he loses control over he likes being calm and in control and bobby terry brought out his anger. If you noticed Flaggs stance he spoke in a calm manner but the undertone was there and you could feel it by the people that were closest to him backing away. Bobby Terry ignored every sign to stand down and apologize so he got death for it.

I don’t doubt Skarsgard is a good actor, nor do I think he was incapable of playing Flagg, but man the direction for this show was unfashionably bad at times.

OK, I have to admit I liked Skarsgard's delivery when he yelled "HEY BOOOOO-BBY *TE*-RRYYYYYYYY!!! YOU SCROOOOOOWED IT UP!!!" His tone of voice and his expression really showed you just how angry Flagg was with him. That was the action of a dictator Making An Example and proving just how weak dictators really are.

Oh wow you can hear them play The Court Of The Crimson King at 2:34

I wouldn't say Skarsgard was the best Flagg, but this was such a good performance. The tense and dreadful music accompanying him grilling Bobby Terry with that unfaltering stare is terrifying. "Are you sorry, Bobby Terry?"

Imagine if they had of done the Kid story Arc.

He was perfect as Flagg

1:55

The actor playing Marten Broadcloak was pretty good in this.

i will never understand why he refused to apologize. he knew who randall was. and waiting for that elevator wasn't a wise move either

This is way better than this scene in the 94 version & there's hints at the shinning in there.

He put that evil on Bobby Terry

Flagg channeled Eric Northman in this scene FO SHO!

Weird coincidence.... I have been listening to the audio book and just listened to this part about 20 minutes ago. Although in the book this happens in Oregon, where they killed the judge. And Bobby is not nearly as flippant.

HEY HBO, YOU SCROOOWED IT UP!

Respect mah awe-thor-uh-tie

He was perfectly cast as Randall Flagg

I would have never joined Flagg. If I was being chased by him though, I would have taken the stairs after realizing that the elevator was going to take its dear sweet time reaching me. The stairs would have given me exercise too.

Bobby Terry wasn't arrogant, he was an idiot, he shot the Judge in the face making it impossible for people to know it was the Judge and then Flagg ate him alive - all in the Desert too - and people still knew what happened because people were shown in by Flagg. Oh and he then crucified him to be a warning. I thought this couldn't get worse than the overly dark and angry version of Flagg but damn son, that "I'm going to flip you off and lock you in." then the beating to death in an elevator... what in the hell were they thinking?!

...where do I find "Mr. Moon"?

Way to completely undercut the terror of this scene and waste otherwise talented actors.

Would've been better in the 1990's if Jamey Sheridan told Sam Raimi that he screwed it up.

Why am I getting Dio Brando flashbacks here?😂

they made this version of flag too soft spoken and somber. I think the 1994 flag was better. He had the charm but put on the intimidation factor too.

Erik Northman came out in the elevator

It's like they saw the original and thought, lets take EVERYTHING actually scary out of Flagg and make him more jokey then creepy........why remake a gold nugget into a turd nugget?

Most people will disagree with me but Alexander Skarsgard as Randall Flagg, he nails the role. I'm sorry but I liked Flagg better in this version than I do in the other one.

Isn't Bobby the guy that played the crazy cult leader in the horror film V.H.S.?

And this is why Randall Flagg is the Crimson kings right hand man ruthless,Sadistic and a cold blooded bastard

So the pandemic was already over by this time right?

Skarsgard looks more like Elvis than flagg

Dom baby

Oh boy I would not get on his bad side right now.. Randall Flagg: Isabell Toller...ya screwed it up!! 😨🏃🏼‍♀️Oh snap!! Aaaaaaah! Ran away!!

Is that Eric Northman ❤

Good lord they destroyed this story. Is any of it even right? I've seen two clips and nothing that happens should have, not that way.

It didn't sound like she said "Mr. Flagg." LOL I can see they changed a lot from the 1994 version. The acting seems much worse.

Why?

EZ

What the fuck did you guys do?

What the fuck is this? They seriously didn't waste Clifton Collins Jr. on this?

Whole adaptation was a mess. Flagg's Vegas was nothing at all like this. And his followers were too terrified of him to speak out of turn even when Flagg was NOT around in the moment. Skars could have been such a good Flagg, but he was so joyless in this version. At least Sheridan's version had that sense of good humour. The Lloyd/Flagg prison scene from the 94 version is the closest I have seen onscreen to Flagg in the books.

One of, if not the greatest books I’ve ever read. Also, One of, if not the worst miniseries I’ve ever watched. This show was horrid and the miniseries from the 90s was well better and certain followed the book closer as well as better effects. It’s sad considering how many good actors were in this massacre.

Why did this even need to be remade

Decided to watch some scenes from this series to see if it is as bad as people say, they butchered the masterpiece the book is

Las Vegas in this version is more scary that the kiddie show of the original miniseries

Hoping HBO will redo this show because this series is a disgrace to the book.

Should have left it with the book. This is rough to watch. People who disagree didn't spend the hours to read the book

This version of the book sucks so hard!

Sorry. Still liked the 90s version better

He's a good actor but he was a terrible Randall Flagg.

This guy was a terrible Randal Flagg. Sheridan is the only Randal Flagg just like Tim curry is the only penny wise.

Skarsgard is a terribly boring actor.

if you didnt watch the actual show this scene is pretty interesting on its own

Is this like Stephen King the stand or something different?

Simply a horrendous version of THe Stand. God awful in pretty much every single aspect. This is an incredibly huge fan of the book who has stephen King's autograph in it, owns the comic version, and w/o question would plunk down money for the collectors addition Coffin box. Skargard was bad compared to Sheridan in the 94 version. Time jumps vs telling the story in linear fashion (like the 94 version), deleting/swapping/creating new characters, deleting whole scenes (Lincoln tunnel) and adding new ones. Garbage. Simply garbage.

This movie sucked. Not at ALL how this scene was supposed to go. The book, even the miniseries was so much scarier than this.
