Petty crime, again, makes sense. None of those people are from Boulder and so didn’t come by any of their stuff by buying it. The ownership is by who got to it first. Not everyone sees it that way. And violence is still often based around personality...and thinking that being “God-fearing “ means you dont commit…

I mean, it definitely didn’t. Harold killed folks right off the bat. Dayna was trapped in a rape cult before she ever got to Boulder

Thats the joke you want to end with? Final answer?

I never saw her on SNL. But Bridgers is mostly a one guitar folk singer type. Or was , historically.  Perhaps she upped her game just for the show 

Or you could mix and match. Who doesn't love a Satanic Drum Solo for instance?

Thats about where I stand too, Nilus.

I’ll make a stronger effort in the future. Thanks for the insight.

That’s real world, and I’m sure you’re right. I have no reason to investigate it.  I am aware you do your research.

I disagree with all of that. The bomb was clearly damaged. Trash is a virtual one eyed pile of warm goo when he shows up. Again, that leaking bomb was melting Trash long before he (very briefly) comes in contact with Larry and Ralph. Trash specifically went after a “dirty” bomb, because he thought it would appeal to…

Someone here has answered your prayers, Ladytron2000.  

There’s that GIF is was expecting.

My memory of the 1994 mini series had Sheridan being a weak spot. In my recent rewatch, though, I found that he was really trying for an approximation of Flagg’s personality on the page. Constantly grinning with manic evil bon homie. Constantly jazzed by just how ridiculous everything was. Yeah, Sheridan WAS a little…

Oh, I agree. I rewatched it last weekend and it suffers terribly to a more experienced tv watcher.  The casting must have been based on who was still under contract for that network, and not, y’know, skill. Still, in terms of writing, they were able to cram alot of nuance into that six hours, and tell a fairly…

They didn’t show it, maybe.  But it was in Trashy’s thought bubbles and reported speech.  One of the guys at Indian Springs, who was quite fond of Trashy it must be said, joked that playing with fire would make you wet the bed.  This was in the list of taunts Trash endured as a youngster, and set Trash off in a…

I think the expanded work has pro and cons. The Kid, I could take or leave....and the small town thug with the high school ring coming back to get Nick is like a cheap literary version of a horror movie jump scare. You’d think that guy, almost dead with SuperFlu and only having seen Nick once, would have bigger fish…

Flagg getting away in 1994 is an interesting take, kimothy.  I just watched that part a couple of nights ago.  I had it where Flagg turns into the crow to split, but the blast gets him anyway.  Given King’s coda, you’re more apt to be right, I guess.

In the book, he reflexively shot an armed patron in a convenience store hold up after that patron shot his partner.  By the time this happens, though, Lloyd and his partner, Poke, had cops in two states after them because they had killed several.  We don’t see that, just King’s All Seeing Eye tells us about it.

In the book, Stu can see the glow from the firestorm of the A-bomb, he crawls up the correct side of the trench and notes it. He doesn’t feel the wind from it. I guess Tom was there to get Stu back. With the help of Ghost Nick , Tom finds penicillin to help Stu get over the (plain old, regular) flu

Well, I think he was referring to The Wacky Judge, but yep...he said that shit.

I mean, Cara is right. King was going for Larry and Ralph sacrificing themselves. Hes a literary dude and old mythology has a lotof sacrifice. It’s just so pointless and cruel that this book’s version of the old deity would ask this, after presumably deciding to wipe 99% of the world population off the map. What if…
