Oh boy, everyone, I'm feeling really guilty about this episode. Miles and I just kind of tear into the book in this one, and the complaints and discussion start to eat their own tails. My apologies ahead of time if you were bored out of your skull, I think that both he and I were just so disappointed that we're belaboring our complaints because we're trying to convey the depth of our frustration.

Now, the one thing in this section that didn't disappoint was getting to see inside the workplace of the Breakers. That was a fascinating section, and also was a really clever one because it made us see the "villains" as rather ordinary people (obviously I use the term "people" loosely here) and not as some drooling monsters sitting at a table getting ready to eat a human baby. I really want to know how much these dudes know about what was going on at the Dixie Pig? And who were those elder monsters in the grand scheme?

But the thing that Miles and I both have a huge problem with is how Walter isn't even given any dignity after he's dead. There's no big, dramatic, emotional reveal to Roland that his arch-nemesis has kicked the bucket. No no no, instead Roland finds a fucking card in a fucking cave and he just knows that Walter is dead. And that is it. That's literally all we get.

Disappointing isn't even the word.

Anyway, hopefully next week we will stop being so angry. Thanks for listening!
