Cuthbert
5. Who is the funniest?
Tie: Cuthbert and Eddie

It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.
i cannot for the life of me understand why so many people hated Susannah...
Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.
i cannot for the life of me understand why so many people hated Susannah...
Hear! Hear! She's one of my favorite characters of the saga.
"It's his eyes, Roland thought. They were wide and terrible, the eyes of a dragon in human form" -Roland seeing the Crimson King for the first time.
"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
Well, I came to like the character a lot, but I must admit that I had some trouble accepting her. Multiple personality disorder as a plot device is somewhat hackneyed, and I was occasionally uncomfortable with the walking sterotype that is Detta Walker.
1. Who is your favourite character? – Maturin
2. Who is your least favourite character? – Patrick
(Actually, I liked all of the characters, but if I have to criticize, I’m most bothered by my impression that some of King’s intentions were never fulfilled.)
3. Who are you the most similar to? – Jake (or maybe Ted)
4. Who is the sexiest? – Uma Thurman (lol, Sorry. I don’t find TDT sexy.)
5. Who is the funniest? – Bango Skank
6. Who would you like to kiss? – the Beam boy
7. Who would you like to slap? – Elmer Chambers
8. Who would you like to know more about? – Steven Deschain
9. Who is the most innocent? – Benny (But no one in DT is perfectly innocent.)
10. Who is the most heartless? – “The Grandfathers”
11. Who could you write about in an 10-page-long essay? – Roland
(taking this to mean who could I write the longest essay about. For me, y’know, the real challenge is to NOT answer even these simple questions with 10 pages. )
12. Who is the most powerful? – The White
13. Who is the trickiest? –

In the bookstore, remember this? --
"…In spite of the situation they were in back here, George “Big Nose” Biondi turned, with the beginning of a grin, toward the voice that had hailed him with such cheerful familiarity. That grin was in fact still blooming when Eddie struck him savagely with the butt of Roland’s gun. …"

Good man.
14. Who is the most annoying? – Walter
15. Who is the biggest victim of the series? – Oy (But everyone in DT is victim to ka. Even Gan, I suppose.)
1. Who is your favourite character? Roland hands down.
2. Who is your least favourite character? Mordred. He ranks up there with
3. Who are you the most similar to? I think Eddie. I like to joke around to loosen my friends' moods, but I'm deadly serious when necessary.
4. Who is the sexiest? Roland. As many women as he took to bed that he did not know, there must have been some magnetic quality about him.
5. Who is the funniest? I think Roland can be funnier than Eddie when he shows that side of him, but Eddie is more consistently funny.
Spoiler:
Don't forget the dead baby joke.
6. Who would you like to kiss? Susannah
7. Who would you like to slap? Roland. His damned quest cost too much.
8. Who would you like to know more about? Patrick Danville.
Spoiler:
Just how the hell did he end up in Dandelo's clutches. That's what I would like to know.
9. Who is the most innocent? Oy.
Spoiler:
He was only there for Jake and followed Jake's orders to the end even though it killed him.
10. Who is the most heartless? Flagg, hands down.
11. Who could you write about in an 10-page-long essay? Any of the Ka-tet.
12. Who is the most powerful? At first I though the Crimson King. After all
Spoiler:
He was the only one besides Roland who reached the Tower.
Then again, a case can be made that Roland is the most powerful. After I think about it all for a while though, I think it was Jake. Think about what he did and remember that he was only a child.
13. Who is the trickiest? Roland
14. Who is the most annoying? Jar Jar...whoops, wrong forum. Mia and her "chap".
15. Who is the biggest victim of the series? Jake. He was only a child and was drawn into a quest that most adults would not want. His parents were indifferent to him, and while he had friends and a father in the ka-tet, he always seemed a little sad to me. The scene where Jake showed his skill with the gun and recited the litaney truly chilled me and made me feel sorry for Jake having been dragged into that world.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.
11. Who could you write about in an 10-page-long essay?
Jack Mort
12. Who is the most powerful?
Roland.
13. Who is the trickiest?
Jack Mort. To Live so Long without being caught...
14. Who is the most annoying?
Eddie, at times. He's neat, though.
15. Who is the biggest victim of the series?
Jack Mort. A Biased answer and one that will sound wrong to oh-so-many.
Anyway, If I'm not wrong (and I might be, definetely might be) At the end of the
Last Book, when *spoiler*
Spoiler:
Susanna goes to the other world and meets up with new versions of Eddie, Jake, and Oy, Isn't there a chance (a very good chance, perhaps,) That Jack Mort would be there too?
Different, of course, but still there...

I can't remember who i chose in "Introduce yourself" thread long time ago but i'm sure it wasn't Oy back then - but the more i think about the poor fella the more i love him - and feel sorry for him
Spoiler:
the part when Oy faded away... still killing me inside
I am the one I am the one
The godlike terror train
The superior, artificial brain
Feel free to call me Blaine!
If it wasn't for Oy, Prince Pooping-Pants would have gotten the upper hand on Olan. That alone says something.
Oy was brave and he moved at the right moment. But it doesn't mean he had great power. He had good ears and a beautiful heart.
Sometimes the weak can beat the powerful one but it doesn't make the weak powerful. (I don't say Oy was weak it was just an example.)
i agree lettie, oy had a big heart and was loyal to the end. but i would not have called him powerful - but thats the great thing about this thread, everyone has a different opinion on what each of the questions mean, and i think its quite interesting to read some of the answers
