I agree that he did a good job of stripping children of their humanity and reforging them into dispassionate killing machines. Besides that, he was kind of a one-trick pony.

I think the robots definitely had feelings, but that those feelings were completely outside of their control. I'm guessing most robots were originally programmed to enjoy serving humans, and to...
I liked Jonas a lot. He seemed like an interesting look at what a Gunslinger could devolve into after being abandoned by his people.
As for the expanded stories in the comics, I got the impression...
I'd have to go with Vannay. I'd get tired of a self-aggrandizing sadist like Cort pretty quickly; being beaten for not being able to count a perfect minute with my eyes closed seems like an insane...
I am pretty pessimistic about human nature in general.
When I started the series it seemed pretty vague about Roland's motives for wanting to reach the Tower, but by the time it got to the last...
Kind of an Eastern-style interpretation, but what if his intention was never to rule anything, but to simply to obliterate this flawed, material reality to restore the infinite darkness beyond? If...
I REALLY don't mean to step on anyone's toes religiously, but the system of Gunslingers and their faith-based system of control reminds me somewhat of the pre-reformation Catholic Church. While it...
I disliked Mrs. Tassenbaum. She seemed to just unnecessarily slow down the plot even more during an already slow part of the book.
The only complaint I had about the book was that they never actually went into the wastelands. They just rode over them. You've got to admit that it would have been cool if Blaine had crashed halfway...
I wish they drew him smiling more as well...though, I think they overall appearance of Walter in the comics is good. He looks good but the "feel" isn't what it should be, partly due to the lack of...
I'm not saying that whether they were good or bad was a consideration in his choice of prey; I'm saying that, as a psychic vampire, Mordred's personality was influenced by the personalities of those...
Yeah, Mia was pretty much just a maniac in regards to motherhood, but her level of dementia couldn't have helped much.
I agree that Mordred would have eaten good people as well as bad if he had been...
I'm seeing something that's big and dangerous looking (dangerous as in unsafe, as well as offensive). I'm thinking sort of like the guns that the Necrons use in Warhammer 40K.
It's sort of a little scene, but my favorite part of the book is the conversation via phone between Richard P. Sayer and Mia/Susannah. Sayer delivers the verbal equivalent of a bitch-slap every...
I voted for Walter. Dandelo came in at a close second, but Walter's got more of a history behind him to beef his character up. Dandelo just sort of appeared. I love everything that Dandelo was; I...
He was completely evil to begin with, and reigned in complete evil for centuries. His insanity was a rather recent event, but all it's done is warp his character; he's always been evil, but now he's...
Yeah, but Dexter chooses his victims. Mordred's only option was killing bad people.
I think that making Walter also Flagg was a cool aspect to the series, linking King's books together and giving some more insights into the background of our Man in Black. I agree that Flagg/Walter...
The military of Mid-World is probably similar to the military of ours. The Gunslingers are something separate from the traditional military; sort of like how the SS were trained separately from...
I believe that Mordred had the potential to be a good person, but he wasn't given the chance.
One can't just claim that Mordred was evil at birth. He acted just like any other infant; he blindly...
