It sumps up everything for me.
Short, beautiful and really meaningful.[/quote]

I agree too, it really puts it together. I would take it one step further and say that The Tower is a manifestation...

I think part of what drives Roland is the memories from past loops. I'm sure it's very much in his sub conscience.

And it's great to have you here. :thumbsup:

I've forgotten what the topic was. :lol:

Nope, totally different.

Many of us were members of the old forum but my partners and I decided starting out on our own would be interesting.

And it really is. :clap:

The site itself is only about a year and a half old. You may be thinking about dt.net (mostly red forum)...that one is gone now.

I understood Keystone Earth was the only place where time never went back.

I think not killing Tull and leaving when he could have would play a huge part in the eventual outcome.

Why did he stay? I'm not sure. I remember asking myself that question when I read it again...

That's pretty much the way I see it. The "beginning" can only be marked from the eye of the reader.

Very interesting theory there, we could start a whole thread one weather or not Roland has ever actually seen the Tower.

Depends on what you mean by "the beginning". Its all a perspective thing after all. For me, the first book is the beginning for sure.

The beginning for Roland would be impossible to pinpoint...

I suppose an argument could be made that he gets closer every time. We only know for sure he started in the desert this time.

However, I think the Tower has the ability to shape Roland's further...

Its just mine anyway --I don't expect anyone to agree. :couple:

I truly believe that the entire thing is a commentary about obsession and the recesses of the human soul. And technically, that can...

I think he tried to shoot him and missed which kind of speaks to the theory.

I believe in the Tower as a physical thing but I also believe that reaching it has something to do with reaching inside...

I think the beams are only breaking for Roland personally.

I know, I know...the quakes, the whole thing. Everyone felt it. But I am coming to believe that all of it, every character, ever...

I agree with this. Why not tell everyone you meet that its empty to not only cause trouble but it's what you want to believe.

Which makes total sense because it would take more than one more time to redemption imo.

Change is a very slow process IRL

I think a part of him retains the loops in his mind.

And I agree, this would not have been the first time through but I can't wait to listen to the version that is unrevised. Its been a long time...

Well first off, I don't think Roland needs the horn for the tower in any way accept that it signifies his ability to think of something other than that.

I do not believe it is a talisman or...

He spent that second thinking about his dead best friend rather than pick up the Horn. He'd take the Horn bc he knows he needs it for the Tower, so by NOT picking up the horn he stops obsessing on...

I'm not sure aurora--maybe it simply signifies that he took one second to think of something other than the Tower when he picked it up.

I bet we are going to find out in the next comic arc that...
