 Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to Thursday Theorist. Today we are talking about the only Stephen King script to be published in hardcover, unless you count sorry right number, which is a script in one of his collections, a camera of which one. But today we're talking about Storm of the Century, which didn't make a bad movie. It just felt like an amalgamation of all the Stephen King tropes ever. Snow, stranger coming to town, crazy murder, all different kinds of things going on. And we're going to talk about how they connect to the Stephen King universe and the dark tower universe, both together. This is not one of those books that I enjoy reading. I like watching the series well enough. The reading of scripts is not a fun thing for me. I like narrative, I like prose. It is not a poorly written script. It's just not something that I want to pick up over and over and over again. I've read this once when it first came out, right after the movie. I believe it came out after the movie I could be wrong. But I just don't care too much for this book. Because it's not a book. I don't consider it a book. It's a script, of course. And I'm really wondering why we never got a rose red script. Maybe he learned his lesson with this one. I'm not sure. There's several things that he has done like sleepwalkers that he never published. Well, we all know why he never published But I do wonder why specifically it was this one. If any of you guys know, I didn't do any hunting online or anything. If any of you guys know, please leave your own theories down there in the doobly-doo. But as far as my theories, we're going to go ahead and jump into them. They aren't really theories. This one, I don't really have a way it connects other than pretty much what everybody else online is saying. I went and double checked certain things. It's not on the registered connections on stevenking.com. It is not on there whatsoever other than the user stuff. And I agree with all the user stuff. So I'm just basically going to go over the stuff that I found and how it connects. But also it's almost exactly the same as what's on his website as far as the user connections are concerned. So the first thing we're going to talk about is Lenoge carries a cane with the head of a wolf on it. In the stand, Randall Flag turns into a wolf. He might in other books as well. I can't recall off the top of my head anyways. Also the wolf is one of the beams, one of the several spokes of the wheel that is the Dark Tower. You have the beam of the bear, the turtle, all that stuff. You have the wolf as well. So you can say that the wolf is the arch evil, whatever you want to call it. But I think that's a very hard connect there. Another thing is Lenoge is an anagram. I believe that's the right word, anagram for Legion. And Walter calls himself what the Ageless Stranger, not Walter. Did I get that wrong? I think I got that. Anyways, Ageless Stranger, Randall Flag, whatever you want to call him. He calls himself by Legion also. Now, let's see here. We already talked about that. That's about everything. The one thing that I did not catch, I don't know how I missed it because it's one of those things. In fact, I told my buddy Patrick if it has anything to do with 19, I usually catch it right off the bat. I wasn't even really paying attention. I guess I wasn't paying enough attention because I completely missed that the radio station is channel 19 on Little Tall Island. So that is one thing that the user submitted connections helped me out with. But this is going to be a very short episode because that's all I got. It felt like Stephen King, I don't want to say that he knew what he was doing, but it felt like he was, this is one of those stories where he just kind of compiled everything into one story. And Rose Redd kind of feels like that also. It's kind of the shining, it's kind of the Winchester house. He just kind of threw together a bunch of ideas and made a movie. And that's what this one feels like as well. There's nothing really that stands out to me other than how the story, the book, whatever you want to call it, how the movie ends, which is Linoge getting away with the kid and the kid becoming whatever the hell Linoge is, or is it Flag, is it Walter, is it, we just keep on going, right? But I don't want to undersell the script because it is a good story. I enjoy the story. It's just one of those that I prefer it to be a visual medium. And I'm feeling that way about Sleeping Beauty's the graphic novel. Also, I prefer it much more as a visual medium than I ever did the book. But on top of that, it was supposed to be a TV series, Sleeping Beauty's was. But that's all I have for this episode of Thursday Theorist. No, I probably will not have another Thursday Theorist up until Billy Summers comes out, which I am looking forward to. The other books, I think I'm considering doing the Dark Tower books, but I'm not entirely sure since I've already tied all these books together how I'm going to do the Dark Tower Thursday Theorist, because they are of course, in the King Verst and firmly rooted in the Dark Tower universe because they are Dark Tower books. Also, another thing, if you guys would like to help me out and go through the files, go through the videos and tell me which books I haven't done because he's done 70 plus books. This is episode 60 something, I think maybe 62, I believe. If you guys would like to go through there and figure out which ones I'm missing, I would appreciate it. I'm going to go through two. I'm not going to go through individual, not collections, I want to do the collections, but individually published short stories and things like that. I've already done Elevation, which is a novella. I don't think I did Drunken Fireworks because it was in Bizarre Bad Dreams. Have I done Bizarre Bad Dreams? I can't even remember. But yeah, leave that stuff down there in the doobly-doo. Let me know whether or not you like this story at all, Storm of the Century. It's one of those odd stories. I think sleeping beauties is more popular than this. Not sleeping, sorry, sleepwalkers. I feel like sleepwalkers, and I was talking about sleeping beauties. I didn't make a mistake earlier, but with sleepwalkers, I hear more about sleepwalkers because it's so over the top and silly than I ever do about this mini-series. Let me know how you felt about the series down there in the doobly-doo, but until next time, oh, and if I missed anything, I would love to hear from you. Please, and if I can verify it, then I will pin you. Whatever. But until next time, I have been E, you have been U, this has been another Thursday Theorist review. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye-bye.
