Thanks!View attachment 29661
You've got smarts, kid.
It's hard to comprehend how Flagg didn't sense Dayna Jurgens was a spy. He had the power of sending out "The Eye" but perhaps his power was limited or it was a human limitation. It was Lloyd who discovered she was a spy, correct?
What do you guys think of Lloyd? He was a criminal and had a past but I didn't view him as evil. He cried when he shot Glen and I believe he had true remorse. Thoughts?
Yes, exactly. I rooted for Lloyd's redemption even more than I did for Harold's.
Speaking of Harold- didn't Stu find his body and bury it (him)?
Yes!! That's it!I don't think he buried him, rather took the gun from his mouth. I also had the feeling Stu wanted to avenge Harold as much as the other when he met Flagg.
Squeeeeeee!!!! Thank you!A huge thank you is in order for king family fan. She provided the prizes for tonight's drawing. I have just pulled out a name: Tery. Congrats, Tery! I will PM you soon. Thank you, Linda!
Absolutely! Lloyd is one of my favorite characters. His arc was one of the more interesting; you could tell at the end that part of him regretted not just dying in that jail. And Miguel Ferrer's portrayal is amazing.Lloyd was a character that I felt pity for and while he did have chances for redemption, his loyalty to Flagg for saving him would not let him move on. I agree that he felt he deserved whatever happened to him because of that loyalty.
Yeah, the whole setting up the government of the free zone dragged on a bitMissed this discussion, too. Say sorry.
Everyone has had great points!
It is hard to decide which part is the best. But for me, I think part 2 is the least interesting. Still good, don't get me wrong. But the immediate danger of part 1 is past, and the marching towards a conclusion, one way or another as in part 3 still ahead, I think part 2 lags just a little bit.

My main question about The Stand is not related to the Hand of God, but rather, to the hand of Ralph. Which fingers did he lose? That question has been driving me crazier for quite some time...
It seems Lloyd has quite a few fans in this thread. I did like Mr. Ferrer's performance (I think I have liked him in everything I've seen him in), although I imagine a 29 year old Tom Felton as the baby-faced murderer with a little overbite. Sadly, Tom has gotten very old in just two years and no longer looks like I imagine Lloyd...
The house Ralph shares with Nick Andros is destroyed by Harold Lauder’s bomb. He survives the assassination attempt, but the explosion costs him the third and fourth fingers on his left hand.
...the thumb is indeed to be counted as the first finger....at least the way I was educated in anatomy and physiology.....Thanks.
The problem, though, is that "third" and "fourth" fingers mean different things to different people (in English, as some people count "thumb" as its own thing).
