History WMG / TheDarkTower

[[WMG:Carrie White from ''Carrie'' is a [[Main/ElfenLied diclonius]].]]
She has telepathic powers similar to the diclonius' vectors. She, like Lucy, was also bullied in school, and she goes on a killing rampage after getting upset.
* Then where are her horns? In a detail-laden story like King's, you'd expect those to come up at least once.

[[WMG: Las Vegas, {{Series/Heroes}}, TheXFiles, TheStand and KnightRider all take place in the same or parallel universes.]]
Both KR and Heroes have a Montecito, the setting of Las Vegas. Linderman was apparently running the casino, which would fit with the Montecito's high owner turnover ratio. It's possible the Company was killing or persuading the previous owners, using people with powers, in order to get their hands on it. Also, the Shanti virus, in an alternate universe, is what kills everyone in Stephen King's ''TheStand'', except much earlier (This is supported by King himself, who said that TheStand universe was just an alternate version of ours). Possibly due to time-travel, or the Company experimenting with an early form of the virus. The Company coverups would also explain all the weird stuff that keeps happening to [[TheXFiles Mulder and Scully]], especially if you've read the "Last One Standing" fanfic.

[[WMG: The Buick 8 and the Arrowhead project weren't the only portals.]]
The Gunslinger series mentions various portals between the two worlds. The special thing is only the Buick was planned to be a portal by the Darkman. Arrowhead was taken advantage of, while all other portals could be extremely difficult to open.
* I don't think Arrowhead project was a natural portal, if you think of a natural portal as a door what project Arrowhead did is like knocking a hole through the wall. On that note if the film version and the novella are separate levels of the tower, project arrowhead happened in at least two different universes.

** Not so {{Jossed}}, especially considering that this is WMG. [[spoiler: Dandelo is very similar to It, and has a stuttering robotic servant named after the stuttering hero of ''It''. This, in combination with hints from ''Dreamcatcher'' that It is still alive, indicate that Dandelo is It in Allworld.]]

** In {{It}}, the driving force behind IT was the deadlights (the red) circling outside the gates of the universe while the other that help the kids after the turtle was the white. Since Pennywise was the physical embodiment of the deadlights, It was[[spoiler:/is]] the most powerful creature in King's universe. All others that followed were decedents/creations of Pennywise or at least a varintant (like the Crimson King's Spider-god mother).

* This troper recalls reading a theory that Dandelo (and perhaps even the Crimson King) were hatched from It's eggs.

** {{Jossed}} by the last book. ''Insomnia'' is not a part of the tower universe; it's actually a deception in the same mode that Odd Lane is a glamour and a "wrong direction".

[[WMG: The Beast spoken about in TheDarkTower is actually the creature from ''It''.]]

* [[TheGreenMile John Coffey]] (HealingHands)

* [[{{Firestarter}} Charlie McGee]] ([[PlayingWithFire Pyrokinesis]])

* I don't think Arrowhead project was natural portal, if you think natural portal as door on building what project Arrowhead did is knock a hole through the wall. On that note if the film version and the novella are separate levels of the tower, project arrowhead happened in at least two different universes.

[[WMG: The room at the top of the tower [[spoiler: is empty]] because of Jack's actions in ''The Talisman'']]
Jack's actions in the Black Hotel, or "The Other Alhambra" have him climbing to the top of a large black structure and retrieving something said to be at the "nexus of all worlds". There's even an image of the room in the tower when Jake reaches the top of the Black Hotel. So the reason [[spoiler: everything keeps looping and Roland has to repeat his doomed quest over and over again]] is because Jack unwittingly created [[spoiler: the loop]] Roland [[spoiler: keeps repeating]] by removing the lynchpin. This would also explain the decay of the Beams that the Breakers are trying to speed up. While King didn't initially intend for the books to be part of the same universe, it is clear that one does now coexist with the other, and so while Jack may have [[spoiler: saved all the worlds]], he also made things more difficult in the long run.

The Waste Lands features the ZZ Top song "Velcro Fly," which contains the line[[spoiler: "When you reach the end, do it over again,"]] which serves as an extremely subtle and prescient foreshadowing.

* [[TheShining Danny Torrance]] ([[PsychicPowers Mind-Reading]])
* [[TheShining Dick Hallorann]] ([[PsychicPowers Clairvoyance]])

The Man in Black said that to speak of the Beast is to damn one's soul; it sounds like what happens when one looks into the ''deadlights''. Also, what else but a CosmicHorror could cause Randall Flagg to show fear?
