With the vast increases in genetic engineering it very much possible that customized and created species could be a thing for the near future..so we could have billy-bumblers for real.
"It's his eyes, Roland thought. They were wide and terrible, the eyes of a dragon in human form" - Roland seeing the Crimson King for the first time.

Roland would have understood.
The second one, just because we get to know them on a much more personal basis, if you will. Perhaps if we had spent more time with Cuthbert and Alain, I'd like them more, because I did feel a connection with those boys, regardless of the fact that we spent only one book's worth of time with them.
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell
Definitely second... but I'm waiting for a third!

the second. the first just kind of naturally formed, the members were trained since childhood, etc... whereas the second, some of the members were dragged into it kicking and screaming, there was more interesting character interaction, etc.
plus they had oy...

where the miles are marked in the blood and gold
i'll meet you further on up the road"

I think the second because (a) Jake Chambers may be my all time fav fictional character, and (b) we spent so much more time with them. Now, perhaps when the the comic series takes us up through Jericho Hill I will feel as if I know the first tet as well. I did enjoy their interaction in W&G, especially given what they were able to accomplish at such a young age, but I feel I "know" the seconf tet much better.
Excluding the fact that the second Ka-Tet is what the story is really about, I've always been left wanting a lot more about the first. There are so many untold stories of Rolands first Ka-Tet. Roland, Cuthbert, and Alain, have been my favorite. They seem so naturally drawn to each other, and they stick together by choice. The second Ka-Tet grows into that same kind of feeling, but it's not naturally developed. It was forced by the drawing, and these characters are not people Roland necessarily chooses. They are thrust upon him.
Jean remebers me!
Of course i will... There are a few reasons to me why i picked the first, one being simply i prefered the younger roland to his older self, i felt that he was far more likable with more depth to him whereas just when i started to like the older roland he did something to make me hate him again. To me the second ka-tet, while you learn more about them then the first you see there failings as a ka-tet... *thinks of the best way to put it*
So... do you hate the older Roland? Or you don't like him?
Roland would have understood.
The second Ka Tet is closer to my heart, with the exception of Susannah.
The second Ka-tet for me as well. They were the ones that got me hooked on the story and there's not enough information or back story about the first Ka-tet. Also the story isn't about the first Ka-tet either its about the second one and what happens to them when they decide to stay with Roland on his quest to find The Dark Tower and see it for themselves.
I know its harsh Girly, don't hate me.
I think Cozener put it best when he complained that if she was crazy or crippled it would have been much smoother, but having her both, significantly slowed and unnecessarily complicated the plot at times.
I know its a minority opinion.
Oh...I'm no saying I completely disagree. I've said many times that, if it wasn't for Eddie's love of her, I may not have grown to like her as much.
The L-Tet is my favorite...
