Shoot em up :)
and lets slumber away
The Calling the Names part isn't irrelevant, Mr. I'm Not As Think As You Drunk I Am.
He's honoring those who were sacrificed on his quest and those who made him who he is, as he has promised to do...
I couldn't disagree more. While nearly all of King's work can be said to be part of the mythos of The Dark Tower, the characters within them are not the reason Roland goes to the Tower. That is why...
You think Jake got a Do Over?
Though not literally the "real" world - this is the one where Stephen King the character/ writer lives. The one where Tet Corp. has built it's Black Tower in New York and is in constant corporate...
In the context of The Story -
Roland doesn't just champion The White. He is the Living Embodiement of it. He is like unto Jesus Christ/ Buddha/ Mohammed when it comes to the White. He is the...
The list of names he would need to call would require a data base of all of SK's characters. From Carrie White to whoever the least character of Duma Key (which i haven't got to yet) is... they are...
I believe that Roland always "draws" incarnations/ twins of his 1st ka-tet. When he drew Eddie he drew Cuthbert; Jake was Alain and Susannah was Susan. Right down to the woman bearing his child. That...
I wasn't reading the comic "backstories" all that closely until this last cycle - and now i've gone back and began reading them all - but when I read the quoted refernce above - The Mist came...
Yes... King's inclusion at the end of Browning's poem I thought at the time suggested that Browning may have penned "the final cycle."
Capt Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy....
Now if that's not The Crimson King and Roland I don't know what is :)
I loved Someone Saved My Life... and still do. Great song. Great album.
And here is the crux of it all. What alot of you are neglecting is the character of these two characters.
Would Cuthbert have pursued her as doggedly once he became aware of her "situation" as...
The doors on the beach are different because they represent Roland's power to "draw". Bought with the blood of sacrifice and spun by the magic of Legion. Because of Roland's nature he is able to...
No! I actually loved it! It captured the essence of the "grapefruit" perfectly. It is indeed an "evil eye". And the symbolism of it being turned inward on Roland...
I won't go as far as saying...
Well - I'd vote definate for Oy. There's never been a question there. Kojak precludes and justifies that.
And I'd also vote yes for Callahan. Someone said something earlier about him coming to the...
Yes .. a Great Start!
It looked to me - in that last scene - that Sheemie tugged on a human corpse and in doing so woke up a robot...
Now I haven't read the "fable" of The Dogan yet...
But I...
Eddie and Odetta came through a door. Jake and Callahan had to die and thus ended up at the Way Station. Different paths different rules - that was the point I was kinda trying to make (though I was...
Jake was a child to them.
Something that happened and they had to care for it as best they could.
As with all of us - we do the best with what we are given.
Jake's father put him in the...
The choice that made Susannah a gunslinger.
Susan gets to live this time.
