Re: Ending of the Dark Tower Series

Spoilers by the way!!! **********************










I know that's what King said "this is the only possible ending" but Im not really buying it.

What was it that occurred after he entered the desert that got him stuck in the wheel? King just picked the point at which the story begins. There isnt anything intrinsic to plotline that suggests this would be the point at which the tower put him back. Everything seemed arbitrary.

What is Roland supposed to realize or discover? Nothing else was ever hinted at. Entering the tower was his goal.
I would have "gotten-it" had he been put back into the same situation on a slightly different plane of existance ie he is some sort of "eternal champion" that travels through the various planes to defeat the Crimson King.. but this wasnt hinted at either.

Just sour grapes on my part and just my opinion.
