    I chose the second. Mainly as they are our eyes into that world. Well ok, we saw that world before they came but it's interesting to see their reaction since they essentially come from the same world and culture as us.

    Spoiler:
    Ok, not technically the same world but close enough. And not strictly the same culture as me as I'm English, but I've encountered enough American culture to get it, and some things are the same.


    That being said, I felt close enough to the first Ka-tet when I read about them in Wizard and Glass, but in the end the second are the ones I'd go with.

    Yes dean, the first Ka-tet was Roland's. I'm sure it says it in W&G. I say the second Ka-tet, for reasons stated

    Blah, once again I cannot vote!

    I like them in this order: Cuthbert, Eddie, Oy, Alain/Jake, Susannah, Susan.

    I voted for the second. I know them better and almost feel like part of them when I read the books.

    It is interesting to look at this from the metaphysical standpoint. If Ka is a wheel, one could say that there were never two Ka-tets, but rather one. As to wither it was ka-tet, if I'm not mistaken the tet was anybody drawn together by ka (please correct me if I'm wrong, I don't have my concordance in front of me) So I would say yes, unless Jean knows something I don't.

    it depends on how "drawn together by ka", and the concept of ka itself, is understood. If we use it too freely, any supermarket queue will be a ka-tet, and then, again, we'll have to find a definition for ka-tet proper.

    Only your heart can say if the people you are together is your ka-tet or not. There are no rules.
    I might be too romantic like usual.

    Roland would have understood.

    I thought Ka-tet meant a group of people drawn together by teh same goal, who all become in tune with everyone.
