Roland would have understood.
Roland all the way, just cuz, but Laura sure stated my feelings pretty well.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
I voted for Jake which should surprise nobody.
I'm sorry, Letti. I cannot vote in your poll.
I cant really choose one of the tet to be my favorite.
They're a tet...one for all and all for one. I cant really separate them in my heart.
Roland
I fell in love with all the characters for different reasons, and at different times, but: Without Roland there would not have even been a ka-tet. He is the character to which all other characters are compared to in my eyes snce reading the DT. Simply put: The man is tha shit!
What the hey, I voted for Oy. Just a sucker for animals....
Besides, I think Oy had most of the lines that I remember from the series....
My first instinct was Eddie. He's fuckin' hilarious and a total goofball, but very strong when he needs to be.
I feel he is the most human character as well, perfectly written.
Letti, it's cruel not to have put Roland's first ka-tet. You should know by now that I always choose Cuthbert ^^
I would really love to see a similar poll, with Roland excluded (as dinh and generally someone who is way too specific to be compared with anyone)

Jack Mort. Definitely Jack Mort.

I know it's about the second ka-tet, but I can't pick anyone nonetheless because, although the first ka-tet seemed 3 very different persons acting together, the second one is really a whole and can't be separated (that's my opinion) and Cuthbert was always my personal favourite And anyway, I don't really care coz I have to admit I really really really wanted Roland's ex-ka-tet to reappear at some point in the story like in the poem (my point is I like the first ka-tet best as individuals and that's it)
I have avoided this question long enough I suppose. It is hard for me to pick anyone of them as my favorite. I love them all. But I had to choose Susannah. There is no particular reason but she really earned alot of respect, if you ask me
Susannah. Easy.

"When the King comes and the Tower falls, sai, all such pretty things as yours will be broken. Then there will be darkness and nothing but the howl of Discordia and the cries of the can toi" - From Song of Susannah
I voted for Jake because when I first started reading the series, I was close to his age during his first/second deaths and when he emerges into the ka-tet.
As I finished the series, Roland started becoming my favorite, but after Jake's sacrifice and imploring that Roland continue his quest instead ofSpoiler:cements him forever.
Roland would be second with a toss-up of Eddie, Susannah, and Oy.
Isn't Pere Callahan considered a Ka-Tet member?
Jake, hands down.

I do know that he belonged to the ka-tet but for my the ka-tet became a "whole" when Oy joined and somehow my mind closed that circle at that moment. I can't say that Callahan didn't belong to them still when I think of the ka-tet only Roland, Jake, Eddie, Susannah and Oy came to my mind.
We can add Callahan anyway.
Roland would have understood.
I don't think Callahan is ka-tet; or maybe we should differ between "the closer ka-tet" and "the extended ka-tet"; I think it has been discussed elsewhere.

If Callahan , were on the list ...today he would get my vote.

I dont know, I feel like Callahan today.
All used up, lost on a hidden highway,
full of doubt, yet ready to take names and kick
some serious ass. Its been a hard week here @ casa linda.
