Time Of The Season Two... Re-Exorcise

What's your name? (What's your name?) [Nowonmai]
Who's your daddy? (Who's your daddy?) [Pazuzu!]
(He rich) Is he rich like me?
Has he taken over... (Has he taken over...) [Your body? Your soul?]
Any time (Any time)
(To show) To show you what you need to live?

(Tell it to me slowly) Tell you what
(I really want to know)
It's the time of the season for... re-exorcism.

                                                         _Altered lyrics from The Zombies's "Time Of The Season".

 I originally intended to write something related to the Game Of Thrones telly series to follow the one i did re The Exorcist tv series. But changed my mind at the last minute to pick up the latter at the heels of the good news that Fox Tv will renew said series for a season 2. Hence the lyrical intro from The Zombies's "Time Of The Season" aptly altered to fit the subject of this blog post.
 Right after the season 1 ender of the show, fans and followers started the 'Red Feather Movement' to let the producers and creators at Fox know that they want more of The Exorcist. Which begat the influential hashtags - #RenewTheExorcist and #ExorcistCongregation. To which i eagerly joined and supported the other La Exorcistas via tweets and re-edits of captured images. And the power of the fans did compel them to renew it. 

 For in the wake of behemoths like the Game Of Thrones, Stranger Things, et al. Pazuzu will not back down. This series is cocked and loaded with weapons and ammos of its own. The plots and twists are dripping bloody like the eviscerated entrails of a sacrificial lamb at God's altar or of a goat's at the Devil's chantry. It is uniquely independent of its maternal movie of the same namesake yet shares the same hellish helix of a dna.
And i will repossess right here and now the initials D.N.A. and re-acronym it as Demonic Nucleic Acid just to stamp it with a seal of authority and approval. The cast of actors and actresses are a league and legion unto themselves.
Bible thumpers and serpent handlers can't hold holy water to the brand of fire that The Exorcist brings. I daresay it is armed to the teeth and gritting to bite.

 The scenarios i'm about to enumerate are ideas that i myself would pitch at Fox for The Exorcist's second season which other fans/followers may share or agree with.

   As revealed, Angela Rance is the adult Regan MacNeil. If so, they could feature some of the lost years where she's in denial that Pazuzu once again is hovering around her. For it has been documented that possessions and exorcisms tend to have a resurgence even after the invading entity has been cast out.
 
  Marked by the Demon as his sow, Angela's(Regan) daughters will now be his piglets. Casey Rance who had the first ordeal during season 1 with Pazuzu gaining interest on her sister Kat's body as well thru their mother's repossession. Maybe a girl on girl action between the siblings under the influence of the Demon? 👅👿
This time it will be Kat Rance's body that Pazuzu will use to get at Regan and the family she created as Angela.
Synching with the wisdom that Fr. Merrin imparted - that the real target of possession is not exclusive to the invaded body but to the persons around her/him who are victims themselves. It is the Demon's aim to overwhelm them with pain and misery so that they will lose any semblance of hope and faith.
  ✜ They could expound more on the lives of both Fr. Marcus and Fr. Thomas before the exorcism of Casey. Like what is the extent of the training of the boy-exorcists that the church org picked? Or is Fr. Thomas's pre-priest life parallel or comparable to Fr. Karras's? A line from the original film ticks near my ears relating to this - "Why you did this to me Dimmy?"
The show could perhaps showcase other forms of exorcism from other religions or cultures outside Catholica Romanus. That way it will be educational and at the same time will not alienate viewers of other religious denominations because exorcisms has been stereotyped as a Christian happening/s only. 
   Mentioned in a prior blog post, i suggest a detective/inspector akin to Lt. Kinderman of the book and film. In fact one who may be a kin to him, a grandson or a granddaughter with the same deductive mind and witty lines as him. I believe this addition will give more depth and texture to the ongoing and evolving canvas of The Exorcist tv series.

  Before i forget, i give props to the commendable actors and actresses of the show. I already gave one to Miss Hannah Kasulka in my previous blog post. This time its for her co-stars who provide the cohesion to the story and adhesion to the palpable weather and temperature of The Exorcist. 

   ↬ Brianne Howey's role as the elder sister(Kat Rance) serves as a counter balance to her younger sibling's afflicted state though she herself suffers her own plate of troubles and confusion. Miss Bri herself is quite the actress in the series.

   ↬ Ben Daniels's execution of a gun slinging and God toting exorcist is powerful and intense. He's like a Dirty Harry priest packing a .666 Magnum with Latin Oraciones for bullets to blast a Demon's head clean off.

   ↬ Alfonso Herrera as a young priest reluctantly turned greenhorn exorcist is another must watch of the show. This Mexican actor's performance is like a Mezcal that needs to be drinked in sips and gulps. He has a wide range of characterizations too. My sister and i liked him and his work in Sense8.

   ↬ Robert Emmet Lunney as Pazuzu in the flesh is captivating and convincing. His portrayal does not even need a prosthetic of horns and forked tail to tell you that a Demon is acting in the house. He is that good as the King of the Wind Demons.

 To cap this blog-xorcism[D.2K17], i think it Warrants the lyrics - "I saw red...when i opened up the door...i saw red."

⭄ P.S.[Pazuzu Script]: You may have noticed the word "Nowonmai" in the modified lyric intro above? *"Nowonmai, from the 1971 novel by William Peter Blatty, is the reverse English for "I am no won (one)". It is the response the demon gives to psychiatrist priest Father Damien Karras when he asked for his name. Much of the dialogue in that scene from the demon is reverse English."
*"The gibberish she mouths constantly is found to be English, backward. Nowonmai, the name of her demon, is “I am no one (won);” Dogmorfmocion is “I come from God.”"
 Does it not ring a bell Throners? When Arya Stark was training at the House Of Black And White, she was often questioned as to who she was and was expected to answer "I Am No One".

 Ego Te Absolvo.
 In Nomine Serket et Serketses et Scorpius Sancti.
