Okay, I just watched Storm of the Century again, courtesy of my local
Hollywood Video and I have a question / theory.

There are several similarities between Andre Linoge and Flagg (the black
eyes, a couple of people refer to him as "the wandering stranger", etc.
These are also references to Flagg in "The Stand" and The Dark Tower books).
If Linoge cannot reproduce and needs Ralph Anderson to continue, does this
mean that there could actually be more than one Randall Flagg? Does he sort
of pass the torch down every once in a while? OR could Ralph Anderson
actually BE Randall Flagg???

Just wondering what everyone else thinks. I've been asleep so I'm probably
not making any sense, but I thought this could be worth a discussion anyways
. . . .

Didn't IT have something about the Legion thing as well and the
disappearances of the people? I think I remember reading something about
that in IT, so maybe Linoge is It or vice versa?

Why not? It sounds logical!

Linoge claims to be Legion, and Flagg claims to be Legion (in The Stand).
That means there could be 50 of them!

I came across a quote somwhere (maybe biblical), and it was "I am Legion,
for we are many." I always thought the flu in The Stand was more like a
quick, concentrated version of Legionnaires' Disease.

Maybe all of King's books have this link to the Legion-IT-Flagg thing?

Hi
There are not more than one Randall Flagg, it is always the same, if you have
read the 4th book of the dark tower we finally meet Walter has Randall Flagg. In
The Eyes Of The Dragon, we see Flagg has a mad magician for the king, He's in
The Stand, has Randall Flagg (and he has so many names, the walking dude, the
man with no face...........). I did not read Storm of the century yet, but
probably that he his the same madman that Stephen King seems to love. Randall
Flagg is the controller of the dark tower in some ways so he can use the doors
of the tower has he wants to, to go in any world and any time. He seems to be
everywhere at ones, but that is a theory but if he is the ruler of the tower he
can go everywhere he wants in no time and come back because there are doors to
anywhere and anytime so he can go in a world for some times, go for three
hundred years, and come back to the first world two minutes after he was gone,
he plays with time, for him it does not mean anything.

In Insomnia the three little doctors we're in a way under the influence of
Flagg, in the tower of things and life (whatever you call it, it can be almost
anything, Thats why I thing it's dark). Rose Madder had to do with an open door
to an other world (but it was only one door one time).

Anyway he's always the same Randall Flagg, there's not many of them just one.

It is a demon speaking to Jesus when he(Jesus) asked it his name.
