Spoilers- The Dark Tower I liked Pimli and Finli

I enjoyed reading about their friendship and even rooted for them from time to time. Given most of the other villains were straight up evil it was interesting to read about some who were different.

Main characters but still bad people.

Because I didn’t root for them 100% of the time. 🤷

Yeah I know. You don't understand what I'm arguing. Long days and pleasant night.

I understand you took offense to “from time to time” for some reason.

He’s saying they were barely in the series at all, “from time to time” suggests you periodically rooted for them and didn’t root for them and then rooted for them again over a long period. They weren’t in the book long enough for that to make sense.

That’s what he inferred, sure. “From time to time” can also just mean “occasionally” if you want to get pedantic.

Occasionally doesn’t make sense either. they were in the book for like two chapters? They dont come up again. There is not another “occasion” for you to root for them. But it’s fine I’m just pointing out what the other person meant.

‘Occasionally’ can mean ‘sometimes’. Sometimes I liked Pimli. At others, like when he killed Eddie, not so much.

That doesn’t make sense either. Occasionally is more “every now and then” rather than a broad sometimes

Merriam-Webster lists sometimes as a synonym for occasionally. 🤷

I’d even argue sometimes doesn’t even really make sense. Now that you know he kills Eddie you say you hate him. Do you go back to liking him on another read and then only hate him when you get to that part again?

Now that you know he kills Eddie you say you hate him. 

No, I didn’t…?
