I just read the whole series over the last few months and finished the other day... I've been wondering if Roland is moving forward through time with his cycles, or is he stuck in time? Does he repeat the same time line and always pull Eddie, Jake and Susanna? Or does he move forward along the keystone time line pulling different mates. I imagine him pulling different mates from different eras, starting with new York in the 16-1700's, Or maybe even before from whatever village existed there that was the the anchor spot even before ... Then continuing to pull mates from different 'whens' up to the story we read, then on into the future. Which opens up another thought...if the keystone time line is moving forward, is the Midworld time line as well? If that why Giliad has been gone for so long, because Roland keeps recycling but the world continues to move on, Getting older and older with every cycle?... Tough maybe that doesn't work because his cycle seems to just be the last leg from the desert on, not all the way back... But maybe his memory compensates for this adding the lost time to a fuzzy memory, part of how time is slippery. My thoughts are just rambling here... 🤔

Why is the home page URL named like that?

I was listening to the song "Ghost Town" by Adam Lambert one of these days and suddenly it came to my mind: is Adam telling us Roland's story in the lyrics?

Here are some evidences:

"Died last night in my dreams" - maybe a reference to Roland dreams about Jake.

"I tried to believe

In God and James Dean" - maybe a reference to Eddie Dean. If I'm not wrong, Eddie Dean and James Dean are look-alikes.

"Walked into the flames

Called out your name

But there was no answer" - maybe a reference to Susan Delgado.

"All the machines

Had been disconnected" - maybe a reference to the Dogans, the robots, portals and tecnology that still existis in Mid-World.

"Time was thrown at the wind

And all of my friends

Had been disaffected" - a clear definition of Roland's quest to the Tower.

"Now, I'm searching for trust

In a city of rust

A city of vampires" - maybe a reference to the Calla plot, including Callahan story with the vampires in New York.

"There's no one left in the world

I'm gunslingin'

Don't give a damn if I go

Down, down, down

I got a voice in my head that keeps singing

Oh, my heart is a ghost town" - a clear description of Mid-World, the Gunslingers and how everyone Roland ever cared about ended up dead (this is why his heart would be a ghost town).

Let me know what you guys think of it.

Long days and pleasant nights.

Hi all! Just checking to see if there are other editors around that have any thoughts on adding new administrators to the wiki? There are a couple projects like migrating the infoboxes that would benefit from admin access, and I haven't seen Stan around for a few months. I'm willing to step-up as needed. Any thoughts on this or other projects or administration needs are welcome. Long days and pleasant nights!

Hi there! Hopefully I will be able to figure out how to read any replies to this lol. Anyway, my question-I read The Dark Tower Series YEARS ago and can't remember the name of the...pet? weapon? companion? of Roland's that would wrap around his wrist? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Hello there, I've recently read the DT comics through "The Drawing of the Three" story arc.  I've searched everywhere I could think of to find out if they're going to continue the series (marvel.com as well as SK sites and those related) and I can't seem to find a release date, or even if it's been cancelled.  Does anyone have any info they can pass on or maybe point me in the right direction? It would be awesome if you could! Thanks!

Is anyone worried about the 95 minute running time? I'm personally pretty ok with it (shorter running time= more showings, better chance of it being successful) but I know some fans are a little freaked out. How does everyone else feel?

Just one more week until The Dark Tower hits the cinemas! Who is excited to finally see The Dark Tower on the big screen?

As with every book to film production, there are certain expectations everyone builds up in anticipation of the movie release. How do you think The Dark Tower movie will stand up to the book? Are you excited they are making a film based on the book??

Hello DT fans! I'm new here. Just wanted to introduce meself. I be calling myself Alyce, Aly for short. Nice to meet ya!

Do the stephen king books all incorporate into the multiverse or only a sle ted few, for example the dream catcher makes reference to it but stephen king has said he doesn't really like it so would this be unincluded. Also is the case the sane for the new movie as it serves as a sequel to the books?

How many people has randall flagg killed and is he responsible for more kills than the crimson king.
