:lol: Don't even go there!

Bumbler19 - I really like your observations from the comics. I'd noticed something similar in The Gunslinger Born #1. In the backstory there it says:
Each of it's [The Tower] narrow twisting...

Thanks :couple: I tried to err on the side of caution, but merging is very more-ish :lol:

I sort of follow you, and I know in another thread there is a discussion where quite a few posters share similar views...Ryan probably knows...

*pushes Matt into the pot* :innocent:

I voted saved, the next loop being the last - as explained in the other thread I think it all rests on the fact he now has the horn.
