Dark Tower Series Question - Finli O'Tego (SPOILERS)

Jakub Majewski · Mar 26, 2015

I have a one questions about Dark Tower Vol.5 & Vol.7

Why didn't Finli O'Tego know about Roland and his ka-tet (vol. 7)?
In Wolves of the Calla, Andy and Slightman told him about Gunslingers
and plan for the wolves.

Didn't he know? Did he lie Pimli?

Maybe... Did Ted be responsible for their amnesia?

Jakub Majewski · Mar 26, 2015

Any suggestons?

Walter Oobleck · Mar 26, 2015

I recall entertaining the same kind of question, Jakub...wondered what was going on...but I don't recall what I concluded. I think I had a sense that Finli was a bit distracted by what was happening there...distracted by Ted and the others perhaps. Maybe there is/was a sense that Finli isn't the sharpest chisel in the toolbox. Too, didn't he question the existence of a gunslinger? Someone with the answer will arrive and tell us. Welcome aboard. I think he knew...but he either over-estimated ability of those present...or something. Ted was fiddling with them, too, so maybe that is a part of the answer.

Jakub Majewski · Mar 26, 2015

I think

that Finli didn't remamber about raports from Calla and he felt anxiety, because probably Ted cleared his memories about Andy's massages

What do you think?

What do you think?

yeah...sounds reasonable.

here's one for you...that time between books, I forget which ones exactly...end of Wizard & Glass...before Wolves...Andy, messenger robot, many other functions...moved the shoes. Kinda like when Dorothy and her pals fell asleep in the field of poppies? Andy was like the rain...here comes the rain again, falling on my head like a new emotion...me and stoopid lyrics, can't help myself sometimes. Probably not but it's fun to consider things when one has questions. I also thought Andy was like a third base coach, out there in the road, blow blow, seminole wind, blow like you're never gonna blow again! I mean he was on camera, right? But yeah...could be a combination of things...like you said.

Did Andy have magic shoes like Dorothy from Oz. I don't remember this fact.

Do I understand correctly ?

Walter Oobleck · Mar 27, 2015

I think, when we first see Andy in Wolves, he tells the reader and a character (or two) in the story that he has returned from...something...an errand or something. At some point, either that first initial read or more likely a following read, I wondered if he had something to do with moving the ka-tet...that point in the preceding story where they...fall asleep? Memory is foggy. He never explains what errand he has completed...but the ka-tet show up either then, shortly before, or after.

And that scene earlier in the preceding story reminded me of The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy and her pals fell asleep in the field of poppies...within sight of Oz. I s'pose it doesn't make much sense that Andy would have assisted them in their journey...but often, say like the Green Man in Insomnia, there are characters whose method and motivation raises questions...the fairy-like creature in The Wind Through the Keyhole, for instance, another. Remember when the ka-tet...woke up? Something was different for them...I thought they'd been moved...or their shoes were moved...something.

Jakub Majewski · Mar 27, 2015

It seemed to me that

Walter/Randall left the shoes on the road... and Pink Band moved Roland's ka-tet.

I hope that I understand all

Heh! Are you telling me to go back to the drawing board? :black_eyed:

maybe Andy was watching from the bullrushes.

These all sound like good probabilites.

I don't think so because Wind Through the Keyhole takes place between Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla. Andy was not in Kansas I don't think anyone moved their shoes

Yes this

Where in the books, did Mr. King write about

battle of Jericho Hills and lost horn of Eld?
I find that fact in Wolves of Calla. Roland's dream.

Walter Oobleck · Mar 28, 2015

There's only bits & pieces here and there...so when you come across them, file them away in a memory drawer with easy access. King never did write specifically about them, not to any length. Some of the comics that have been put out elaborate on the story. I've not read the comics. I think there is some additional information elsewhere in the seven/eight stories, though where that information is specifically I don't recall.

Jakub Majewski · Mar 28, 2015

I mean that a situation when

Roland lost the horn of Eld, because In the end of series he had this item.

I hope that S.King will write new books based on the comics. Something like The Wind Through the Keyhole

Jakub Majewski · Mar 30, 2015

Who is the Queen of Spiders (Vol. 2)? And where is she in the books?

Jakub Majewski · Mar 30, 2015

Who know?

Jakub Majewski · Apr 3, 2015

Roland asks in Gunslinger, "What hand could have held the knife that did my father to his death?" This tells us that Roland's father was killed with a knife by an unknown person. In Wizard and Glass, we find that maybe at one point, Roland's own mother Gabrielle, may have been told to kill her husband with a special knife that would be sent to her, but the plot was foiled by Roland and the knife never reached his mother's hand. So the question arises...Who did kill Steven?

In comics Steven Deschain died because The Guard shot him in the back.

The next level of the Tower or King's Mistake?

Do anybody know the answers to my questions?

Sorry, I'll leave an alert for Bev Vincent and see if he knows.
