Cry pardon for joining so late, but I just finished the series and I am beyond happy to read that even as few as a handful are unhappy with the death of The Man in Black/Walter O'Dim/Randall Flagg/Richard Fannin/Ageless Stranger/Walkin' Dude/Marten Broadcloak/Rudin Filaro/and the theorized Leland Gaunt and Andre Linoge...
Because I know I sure am!
You see that long list of names. The character is so intriguing. He dies like a b----.
It is late where I am so at the moment I only wanted to write this (and because, before I write my feelings regarding the series as a whole, I want to make sure that this board is still visited

).
Long days and pleasant nights,
