3. I disagree with this one. I see your point in saying that he basically has a bunch of cameos but I think he should have played a much bigger role in the end anyway. I hated the way he was killed off in Book VII. In my opinion Flagg should be somewhere in the tower at the end or at least be Roland's final obstacle before he reaches the tower. To me The Crimson King was a flop, especially given all the hype that surrounded him throughout the series.
4. The Waste Lands would be great in a single season in my opinion.
5. With the season for Wizard & Glass, personally what I would do would be to have the whole Blaine/Topeka/Wizard of Oz deal as the bookends of the season, meaning the first and last episode. Say we're doing a 13-episode season. I would have the Mejis story line as episodes 2-12 and maybe fit The Wind Through the Keyhole somewhere there in the last two episodes of the season. Just my opinion though.
6. It's really hard to argue with your point here. Without the context of Salem's Lot Callahan really doesn't make that much sense.
7. Yeah it would be pushing it to make SoS into a full length season. I'm not sure what could be done here because we all know the last book is without a doubt a full season's worth of material.
8. Since you put it that way, maybe make 6 & 7 into one season? I could definitely do without Patrick Danville because all he did was basically erase The Crimson King out of existence. And get Oy killed...but I'm getting into that crap right now. I could write an entire essay about that tragedy.
9. Once again, I totally agree. Especially since this hypothetical show would be adapting the books.
