So... which ka-tet is closer to your hearts? And let me know why.
Roland's first ka-tet.
Roland's second ka-tet.
Which ka-tet is closer to your heart?

Roland would have understood.
second. Beyond compare. The whole book was about the second ka-tet. They are the people we've been traveling with, sharing their joys and sorrows all along, living their lives down to the smallest detail

bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I second everything Jean said!
I can't believe anyone would say the first one. Maybe once we know more about them, thru the comics, we can come to love them as much as we do the second ka-tet. Who knows? I voted for the second one for all the reasons Jean said.
I also feel closer to the second for all the above reasons, but think my veiws would change with more first ka-tet backstory. I like the characters from the first better, well thats not true, just Cuthbert
I'll third what Jean said. #2.

"You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served." ~ Roland Deschain
definetly the second anyon who said the first is no Dark Tower or Stephen King fan
I wouldnt go so far as to say that IKTCK. I voted the first because Roland aside, Cuthbert (and later his reincarnation Eddie) is my favorite character. Yes, yes, yes, The series in mainly about the second ka-tet and yes, yes, yes those are the character we know and love. But since my favorite character (again, besides Roland) and my favorite moment (Jericho Hill) is involves the first ka-tet, hat would give me just enough inclination to vote for the first. As the great Stan Lee would say:
Nuff Said!
"As for gunslingers, Roland," Cuthbert says, "I am here. And we are the last."
When two fit, it makes you think
I got the cute one, my woman
She says, "Lovin's all I bring"
And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.
Lovin' yes we are, it's such a wonderful thing
When two fit it makes you think
See us both in the black
She lays on me so relaxed.

Well then you're not a Dark Tower or Stephen King fan. At least according to Mr. Authority-On-All-True-Opinions above there..Originally Posted by Skolpadda

I voted for the second one. Only because I need more stories about the first in order for it to be a fair choice.

Though the scene in the bar where the first ka-tet saves Sheemie is dear to my heart, the second ka-tet is the group that I fell in love with. They are the characters that I couldn't wait to hear more about, the ones that I suffered with and cried over. Wtihout a doubt, the second ka-tet is the nearest and dearest to my heart.
The rose speaks of love silently, in a language known only to the heart.
No surprize here, the so called second ka-tet is who we relate to so well.
Its like it could have been us Roland slipped into, us he drew to him on that beach, or found wandering.and I am pretty sure weve most of us anyway fancy ourselves gunslingers in our imagination.
The answer is within
I totally agree--I do wish it would have been me sometimes but I would have had to grab Dora on the way through.
Then Roland would have gotten even more sick of our lovemaking than he did with Eddie and Suze.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
i love cuthbert and alain
but i have to go with the second ka-tet as well. i can relate to them more, and we've been with them for much longer than the 1st ka-tet.
Second....because of Jake and Oy. They are who made him humble, if even for a moment.
It's peanut butter jelly time!
Yeah Oy........he's what finalized my vote
I think the two of them (Jake and Oy) may have singlehandedly taught Roland the meaning of loyality and friendship
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
agreed
And incase there was any wondering about it..Oy IS a member of their ka-tet.

Even Roland would agree on it.
Roland would have understood.
Is it just me, or do you think the world would be a better place with billy-bumblers?
It's peanut butter jelly time!
It's not just you but I don't think they would have a nice life among us in our world.
Roland would have understood.
don't forget that Oy was driven away by his kind. I don't know if we can consider him a typical billy-bumbler.

And when the Old People lived many billy-bumblers could speak and they were tame and they loved to live near the people.
Anyway yes Oy wasn't a typical billy-bumbler.
Roland would have understood.
