Continuity Problem with Roland's Waterbags, Eddie's Eye Color, Pants, and the Shells

[Malerin]

Don't know if anyone's caught these: At the beginning of DT2, Roland picks up his waterbag after the lobster attack. King writes that Roland had been travelling with them for such a long time, he knew just by feel that there was a little bit of water left. HOWEVER, in DT1, Roland left a trail of waterbags during his trip across the desert.

Eddie's eyes: When Roland comes forward when he sees the neon sign at Balazar's, Col freaks out because he sees Eddie's eyes turn from brown to blue. However, when Eddie is in the plane at the beginning, King describes Eddie's eyes as hazel.

When Roland sees the flight attendant, he is amazed she's wearing pants (something about never seeing anything like that except on an undressed woman). However, in DT1 some of the women walked around town in pants.

This is more nitpicky than an error: Roland seperates the wet shells from the dry and puts the wet shells in a tattered piece of shirt. Throughout the book, when Roland fires the wet shells, King specifies exactly how wet they got on Roland's gunbelt. We can assume Roland sorted the wet shells and King just didn't describe it.

I don't think that the main characters passed waste often enough. That really troubled me throughout their adventures. I was worried about them...thought maybe they were Elvisly impacted or something. Each book could have been another hundred pages if King had been more realistic in describing the doody activity. Shame on him.

Wow, what an eye for detail!...most of these are just natural "slips" when penning such an Opus...IMO anyway...

Continuity error =/ lack of detail.

When I was going through high school, I had horrible panic attacks. Reading the DT series calmed me down. I read Drawing of the Three so many times, I could finish random paragraphs that my friends started. This was a long time ago.

One more minor nitpicky problem: Years later, one of the cops is reminded of the Terminator when he thinks of Roland (in Mort's body). However, King's line is something like "thoughts of machines faded from so-and-so's mind". I should hope so, since the cop wouldn't have those thoughts for decades in his future!

Wow! Good catch. I wondered the same things.

I know that, but did you get my point?

Who gives a ****? Literally AND Figuratively.

[sanlund]

He already goes in to such detail about other things I guess he thought it was a given that bodily functions would be something he did not have to describe in detail.

[sanlund]

Or is it decades in his past?
