No wonder, King hated it, Cav. The thing was not a good adaptation. I did NOT want Scat Man Caruthers (was that his name) to get done in.
They didn't give enough background on The Donner Pass, either.
Frankly, I don't much care for King. I liked Carrie and The Stand, but that was about it.
Sorry Thok, didn't mean to sideline your math.
