I Didn't Really Like It

[Kurben]

Yes and no. They were never directly puppets per say. The Other was waiting for the right children because the Lord helps those who help themselves. If puppets were all that was required, the force which helped the Losers could have been rid of It centuries before. There were still choices to be made. In Dark Tower terms, the Losers still had to stand and be true. This happened both as children and as adults. Unlike Henry Bowers and his crew, the Losers were still afforded choices. Once those choices were made, however, they were within the cogs and wheels of a great machine.



Again, I don't see the issue. The story is solid. The characters are strong. The reward is earned. Whether or not they remember the details of their nightmare seems unimportant. If anything, it seems like a mercy to me. I remember my childhood friends too, but only in a vague, non-distinct kind of way. If you have stronger recollections you are more the exception than the rule. Irregardless, your beef makes no sense to me. Even if they had a memory of the events, it wouldn't mean that they hadn't been helped by unseen forces. If the real value is in the journey and not the destination, it makes no difference whatsoever what they remember.

Must say i agree with you. Just too think of being able to remember all the things they passed through would have made them all end up in a psychward with terrible nightmares. Not just once in a while but most nights. And they weren't long term friends. They had known of each other before that summer but became friends during the summer. That friendship was partly based in their, lets call it mission, so when the mission is done and the memories, thank god, of it disappears then it follows that the base of the friendship will also weaken. And then many moved away during the next years.

Ah one! Ah two!
AGP didn't really like it!
Rockin' the Casbah!
Rock the Casbah!

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that craazy SKMB sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local IT defender
Got his IT picking thumb
As soon as the AGP
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the posts
Down the Casbah way

AGP didn't really like It!
Rockin' the SKM-Bawd!
Rock the Skm-bawd!

There lives an ironic poet inside you. You know that, right?
Only i have a preference for more rhymes in the verse. But i liked it. Especially the references.

heh! yeah, that whole song seems to apply...just change a few words. Every time I read the title of this thread that song comes to mind. Too...if I'da posted how I misheard the lyrics, I'da been placed in The White Room again. Puck the Chasbah! Puck the Chasbah! I really didn't like IT!
