Wow! I found it in my copy too. Very short passage and easily missed! I totally concede. I won’t doubt you again. Apologies.

I’d be into a Dark Tower reference...unless it indicates that this director and writer will make that their next mini series.  Yick.

So, it’s Whitney Horgan, Barry Dorgan, and Hector Drogan.  King was really in the Zone the week he wrote that.

Please do. I just read what I take to be the three relevant passages. Tell me what you find.

A little fix here: Flagg knew that Horgan would run, not that he'd speak up . That was where people  started to realize he didn't gave everything in hand. 

*slow appreciative clap*

This is a cause and effect you have to pretend. Trash blows up the fuel truck and planes because of an offhand comment by a nobody character who accidentally mirrored a childhood trauma. That character has nothing to do with Boulder and nobody in Boulder even knows Trashy exists. It could be nothing but Old Lady…

That s the mystical part of it, should you wish to justify it. But, in practice....

In the book, Stu is far enough away to see the glow, but not feel the shockwave. But nothing they’ve changed in this has added any extra layers of adventure or drama, so I expect they'll be fine. They wont even have the snow problems of the book 

I think most here, myself included, agree that 1994 was the better adaptation by far. You do not stand alone.

Well.... it is said!.... (in voice over and apropos of nothing and only once) so you're technically golden!

To be fair: Though different in mechanics, that's how it plays out in the book too.

No. It was there....just waiting to be turned into a gif .

I am really happy that you like it. I wouldn’t take enjoyment from anyone. A positive voice is good!

So, I guess the older grey haired guy they keep showing in this ep was s’posed to be Whitney Horgan. Looks like they’d set the character up in production, then edited him out.  We were left with a cliffhanger about Tom, only to find out he was fine, without any trouble at all. Also, it looks like the King-added ep…

Jumping through that tiny paper ring in the middle of running literally all over the stage for ten minutes was VERY impressive.  I mean, lots of people do that kind of thing, but this is the opening of a major awards show, he had little practice, and had he failed to make it and tumbled, everything else falls out of…

Whitney Horgan was the guy who was going to skip out with a group, but then speaks up at the public execution.  Hec Drogan was the drug addict.  There was a cop who says the line you mention, I think his name was Barry, but can’t remember the last name.  Though Barry says that line because HIS Vegas has order and…

They folded Rita’s character into Nadine.  She plays out most of the character beats of Rita, then skips out, and shows up later with a different group.  It was a strange choice.  Larry was one of the few misfires of the 1994 mini series.  His journey from selfish asshole to selfless...er...still a little ashole-y was…

Wailing on that sax could loosen some belts, I expect.

Molly Ringwald was a huge crush when I was a kid. Her dancing on the steps in Breakfast Club was pretty affecting.
