Side note. I've been trying to remember what book this happens in but seem to be unable to do so.

SPOILER FOR THE DARK TOWER SERIES AHEAD:
What book was it that the man in black tells a woman what is in store for her in the afterlife, allows her to see it or something like that and so Roland shoots her because she can't live with it? I thought it was in the Gunslinger, but I reread it and it wasn't in there.
AHHHH Both... In the original Allie from Tull is grabbed and used as a human shield, she begs Roland not to kill her and then he guns down both her and the man holding her. But in the revised version, Walter has driven her mad, and Roland puts her down out of compassion. The change was made to make him seem more humane, which was a mistake if you ask me. I love the hard Roland.

Oh ok. Thanks. I kind of like that part about Walter driving her mad. But yes what originally occurs was a lot better. Ty for info. : ) And let's hope what's done with the films/tv series isn't what happened to Under the Dome.

I agree, from what I hear King will be heavily involved. Its his baby and he has put a stop to it a few times over them trying to make it wrong.
