Looks like my dream casting of Hugh Laurie is almost dead... :(

I appreciate everyone's input on this. :)

I do understand your point, Matt. But why would you say 0 reason? What about David Tassenbaum on Keystone Earth? Isn't that telling us that in the "internet age" is the "beginning of the end" for our...

Bear with me, Matt. :unsure:

Why does it have to be an alternate world? Why would it's history have to be different? They only trace history back to Arthur Eld, but we know he rose 1,000 years...

What are your thoughts about them? And is Mid-World (and In-World/Out-World) just America thousands of years into the future?

Here's what we know:
North Central Positronics is one of the...

Maybe it was Detta and Mia...all 3 together at last! Like the 3 SK's outside the Castle...

:scared:

SK does. :cowboy:

Right. And that time, he knew there was no "other worlds" to go to.

I don't think there was a Keystone Jake. He was just a character of SK, like all the rest. But the point was, die in Keystone Earth, dead forever on all levels.

I wrestled with that one for awhile as well Zadok, but the conclusion I came to was that the whole notion about dying in that world being the "final" death was not something the reader knew for a...

To me, this entire subject ("are they the same") just exposes a huge plot hole. Keystone Earth was supposed to be the "be all end all" - if you died there you can't come back on any level of the...

Agreed. This was foreshadowed when she wouldn't join the boys in looking at the Rose in NYC.

Jake said it, Roland didn't know what it meant at the time.[/quote]

True that, though Jake could have picked it up through the touch.[/quote]

Jake seemed to be privvy to many things after...

I don't have the books with me. After I finished I loaned them to a friend, but didn't Roland whisper it for Jake to say to the assembly?[/quote]

Nope. Jake just blurted it out.

Jake said it, Roland didn't know what it meant at the time.

See "On being 19" at the beginning of The Gunslinger. He was 22 when he began writing it in 1970. But how do you know it was June 19th?

Remember the multiple times they were in the keystone earth and dying there was "for good", "forever", etc.? In other words, contrasting it against the "rules" of the other worlds. If SK died in that...

Nope, Patrick did it intentionally. He grabbed Roland's head and literally went face to face with him.



Actually, we are told that we don't know how old he is. Could be 15, could be 30. He...

Nobody else finds that provocative?

Why is any "version of Jake" there at all?? If you died in the "keystone earth" you were dead forever. Yet they were all "alive" in that NYC. Any insight?

That's fine if 1987 NYC is supposed to...
