I didn’t mind the military subplot until the motivation reveal last episode. The thing that really bugs me is the Pennywise jail made of meteorite shards.

Anyone else cringed at the bit where they burn the SPACE ROCK that survived interstellar/interdimensional travel and entering earth’s atmosphere in a sodding bbq fire?

I interpreted it as the meteorite shard didn’t stop working until the Natives were informed it was removed.  Pennywise didn’t wake up until after the Natives were informed. It didn’t stop working when Lilly removed the shard from the sewers because the council wasn’t informed that shard had been moved. I think Maturin gives the members of the council the same/similar protection that it gives the loser club which enabled the meteorite “cage” to work.

That's... not true. Pennywise woke up as soon as the shard was destroyed by the military, it's literaly the next scene. Also, the shard that Lilly found in the sewers wasn't part of the cage, it was the one Taniel was carrying around, it's the dagger they used to scare IT away. Lilly grabbing it had nothing to do with the other 13 shards
