- leerayIG88, on 05/08/2008, -7/+1mmm, I love getting cancer from stars.
- tmaiden, on 05/08/2008, -11/+4APOD is starting to get lame. If your into space stuff, then just visit the site. I think everyone knows of APOD now. When APOD shows a picture of an Alien, throw it up on digg. Untill then, someone find me a digg filter.

- pinion417, on 05/08/2008, -0/+8amazing series
- kingdomdude, on 05/08/2008, -0/+6Above, the stars were unwinking, also constant. Suns and worlds by the million.
Dizzying constellations, cold fire in every primary hue. As he watched, the sky washed from violet to ebony. A meteor etched a brief, spectacular arc below Old Mother and winked out.
The fire threw strange shadows as the devil-grass burned its slow way down into new patterns-not ideograms but a straightforward crisscross vaguely frightening in its own no-nonsense surety. He had laid his fuel in a pattern that was not artful but only workable. It spoke of blacks and whites. It spoke of a man who might straighten bad pictures in strange hotel rooms. The fire burned its steady, slow flame, and phantoms danced in its incandescent core. The gunslinger did not see. The two patterns, art and craft, were welded together as he slept.
The wind moaned, a witch with cancer in her belly. Every now and then a perverse downdraft would make the smoke whirl and puff toward him and he breathed some of it in. It built dreams in the same way that a small irritant may build a pearl in an oyster. The gunslinger occasionally moaned with the wind. The stars were as indifferent to this as they were to wars, crucifixions, resurrections. This also would have pleased him. - jonthefisherman, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3ka-tet
- urothane, on 05/08/2008, -4/+1I sort of lost the series when Stephen King wrote himself in as a character that in order for the world of the Dark Tower to exist, he had to write it making him a hero. It got even worse when his real life incident of getting hit by a car was added in as the gunslinger saving his life. I was super disappointed when the 7Th book finished with the beginning of the first.
- roland42, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3I guess if you hated it, then spoiling the damn ending doesn't matter to you much. Some of us waited 20 years for that ending, no matter what it was. STFU. :)
- IMADV8, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2I just started the series. You're a goddamned asshole.
- greenlight2001, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2Hey dickhead, if you were worried about him spoiling the ending, then you should have STOP READING his comment as soon as you saw 'Dark Towers'. Nobody made you read the the whole comment.
- roland42, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1I've been done the books since right after they all came out. Just making a comment to others....but yeah, I suppose if you're in the middle of a popular book, the internet is not to be touched. See also Harry Potter 7. I had friends self-ban from the net for months for that one.
- AnotherThought, on 05/08/2008, -6/+1it's gotta be a kingdom some where there, far, far away
- Chassit, on 05/08/2008, -2/+15Oh, Discordia!
- AnotherThought, on 05/08/2008, -6/+1it's gotta be a kingdom somewhere there... far, far away
- Neotribal, on 05/08/2008, -2/+4Bah. I was expecting something Stephen King related.
- SpeakerCity, on 05/08/2008, -1/+7You have forgotten the face of your father.

Literal, I know. But it's the latest.. - drachemorder, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4It is. A black tower rising from a field of roses. Can't you see it?
- Skywise, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1Dark Tower... in Scorpius?! What is this... another incarnation of John Crichton?!
- SpeakerCity, on 05/08/2008, -0/+6Funny, I don't see the Crimson King. Or that last-minute, lame-ass character Patrick Danville.
- JackSrenton, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4All the red around it really could be the Can'-Ka No Rey though.
- goscript, on 05/08/2008, -8/+1Buried: To me all their pictures looks the same..

- goscript, on 05/08/2008, -1/+0Tell me you're looking to that picture and makes you say Wow. APOD is probably having billions of such photos, to they all deserve our digg? It's not like they found a new planet or so.. anyway..print a wallpaper with it and stick it to your wall.
- JackSrenton, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1I understand talking in broken English but typing?
if you dont like the photo dont look at it. For us DT fans it looks ALOT like the Dark Tower and the field of roses around it.
