And it just makes me wish that that happened a lot earlier and in a more condensed fashion because I think we could get there in a way that makes more sense.
voice-verified
Yeah.

It seems to be like it very much gives a vibe of a different type of asylum than what I'm used to in the 21st century, despite this taking place in the 21st century.
voice-verified
Yeah, it's very much – and the outside is described as very gothic.
voice-verified
I almost got a picture of Stephen King's house in Maine, right, where it's got towers and buttresses and weird windows and that type of thing.
voice-verified
But there's this weird aside where they're talking about like, oh, we have to go to Ward D, and so we're walking through Ward A and Ward B and Ward C. And like one of the things that they walk through says like ambulatory ophthalmology, which is eye doctor, but like ambulatory, like of course you can walk while you're having eye –
voice-verified
Like, it just seemed very off.
voice-verified
And I'm wondering if that was intentional.
voice-verified
I also was sort of reminded of the school that Jack gets stuck in, in the territories.
voice-verified
yeah.
voice-verified
So there's a little bit of that as well.
voice-verified
But it is a very anachronistic asylum.
voice-verified
Yes, absolutely.
voice-verified
And you said earlier, we've met Judy, but because she's been alone all those times and sort of in this distressed state, she doesn't come across as magical.
voice-verified
We get this description of Fred early on when he talks about how Judy broke up a fight on their second date between an accident she saw and how brave she was.
voice-verified
But now we see it again through Jack's eyes, and Jack immediately latches onto that.
voice-verified
What I particularly like, we've gotten sprinkles of
voice-verified
The Crimson King and the Dark Tower itself and these other worlds.
voice-verified
But King and Straub do this interesting thing where they mention other worlds almost directly sometimes, but then other times, even before we get to this point in the asylum, Fred and Judy early on realized that their son Tyler, the one who's disappeared, has been hanging around with a bunch of kids that they don't really like.
voice-verified
Like they're not as smart maybe and they get into trouble.
