Well, you can never have too much mystique, right? <_<

Oy!

Oh, you probably only read the trade editions. In the single comic issues as originally released, there were text stories appended, along with encyclopedic entries that later were used for the...

I sense an argument over canon coming...

That really confuses this topic even further. Why should Mordred be more powerful than RF in that case? Isn't the Maerlyn of the comics more powerful...

And part of that was his own decisions. It's just surprising that he lived for so many centuries without developing better judgement. In the end, he assumed that his enemies could not face Black...

Ka.

The author gave Mordred a good background, but that's no substitute for characterization. You can tell me and tell me that the guy I'll meet next will be one complex badass, but, even if he walks in...

Roland has sex with the Oracle, who tells him that he'll have to let Jake die. Susannah has sex with the same creature later to bring Jake back to Mid-World. This is Mordred's parentage. All very...

lol, well, then, here's a new avatar for you: http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Wembley_Fraggle.The Oracle. You know, the price of prophecy. The boy Jake. It's the main structure in the series.

I've never agreed with that theory, but I've also never heard it applauded like you guys are doing. If SK was thinking that, then I believe he should have found a less shallow and manipulative way...

if that was in response to my post, i don't recall suggesting people should not be critically thinking. i responded to the question at hand with my own thoughts.[/QUOTE]That's fine; no offense...

We can't rewrite the books; we can only stop buying them. Maybe invest in an author we decide we like more. In any case, it's silly to suggest that there's no point in critical thinking by readers....

...And when the oracle told Roland that 3 was the number of his fate, was it ever clunky to have her then throw in "Another number comes later." :rolleyes:
Still, all of this indeed is :lol:...

Because King made the revised edition with extra-cheese, that's why.

Legion may be a name not only for TMIB, (Man in Black) but for the entire army of evil within which he serves as "Prime Minister."
Or, the name might refer to his shape-shifting powers, just as...

There are those who believe that everyone is born immoral, and it is through environment that some learn to love. I don't want to get too far into that question (or the free will debate) here. ...

Pardon; I meant to say "during his final TDT series appearance."

But he was R.F. in appearance, right?

No prob. The mistake makes me realize that Linoge is an anagram of Legion, (far out) and I'm glad that you pointed him out. I don't think that he is the same guy, which is one reason for saying...

As the books now stand, it's fairly clear what the meanings of the half truths TMIB was telling at that meeting are. In the original, he implied that "his master" was the Ageless Stranger, one of...
