    Default Good Ol' Randall Flagg....

    After reading The Dark Tower: The Dark Tower did anyone else have a hard time going back to any of SK's books that had Randall Flagg in them? I know that Rolands journey will continue to go on (hopefully this is his last one) and until his journey is "done" Randall will live, but just knowing that Randall does die just ruins rereads. I always liked Randall as a evil character in the books and knowing that he won't be reappearing again is kind of KWIM?

    Hi,

    Aye, but do we KNOW that he's dead?

    After all, he survived a close proximity nuclear blast already, so he could well have survived Mordred's ministrations (which weren't on Keystone Earth anyway).

    And he's alive in the very last line of DT7.

    Long days and pleasant nights

    Yeah, but isn't he alive because Roland returned to the path because he "didn't have the horn of Eld?" So Mordred will kill him yet again.

    IMO

    Hi,

    Aye, couldn't happen to a more deserving person, could it?

    IMO true Evil never dies...so whether it's in the guise of "The Walkin' Dude" or another entity, we'll always be tempted, tortured or tested in some way.

    "There are other worlds than these". I think Randall is still alive in many of them.
