By the time you read this, I will be dead. No wait, I mean, CBS All Access will have released the final episode of The Stand, their new miniseries based on Stephen King's epic pot-apocalyptic novel of good versus evil. And to mangle T.S.

CinemaBlend After nearly two months of build-up, The Stand against Randall Flagg has been executed. The new CBS All Access adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand has now reached its big climax in its eighth episode, and audiences can now witness what happens with Glen Bateman, Larry Underwood, and Ray Brentner following their arrival in New Vegas. For the most part, like the rest of the series, the translation of the text is faithful, as most of the major beats are hit dead on – but also like the rest of the series, there are also a number of alterations that have been made, and it...
