Roland's two handed revolver reloading technique

D'you mean one handed? Yeah, that, along with the "reloading with his teeth" trick described in Balazar's establishment would be mighty difficult to portray in reality.

(As an aside, I found a video of a cinematic one-handed revolver reload. Check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzHYIbSA_2A. While it is true that the model of revolver is rather modern, the same sort of technique could conceivably be applied to Old West-themed six shooters.)

You think we'll get to see the lobstrosities in this or the sequels?

I always had a hard time visualizing those things.I can't remember how they are described word for word, but I know it was a little more detailed than just gigantic lobsters.

[-Roland Deschain-]

The horror was a crawling thing which must have been cast up by a previous wave. It dragged a wet, gleaming body laboriously along the sand. It was about four feet long

It regarded Roland with bleak eyes on stalks. Its long serrated beak dropped open

The gunslinger had seen lobsters. This wasn't one, although lobsters were the only things he had ever seen which this creature even vaguely resembled.

it had stopped and was holding up the claws with which it had been pulling itself along, looking absurdly like a boxer assuming his opening stance, which, Cort had taught them, was called The Honor Stance

It lifted its meaty, serrated body, making it momentarily resemble a scorpion, but Roland could see no stinger at the end of its body.

Roland saw the stumps of the first and second fingers of his right hand disappearing into the creature's jagged beak

Roland snarled, and kicked it. It was like kicking a block of rock. . . one that bit.

It was almost upon him, a thing four feet long and a foot high, a creature which might weigh as much as seventy pounds and which was as single-mindedly carnivorous as David

His head was inches from the insectile face of the creature. One of its claws might easily have slashed the eyes from his face, but its trembling claws, so like clenched fists, remained raised to either side of its parrotlike beak.

There was a crunching noise as the creature's segmented back broke.

One antenna lay broken on the sand. The other trembled meaninglessly.

[-Eddie Dean-]

They looked like a hideous cross-breeding of prawn, lobster, and spider.

I'm pretty sure it was Eddie who coined "lobstrosities" wasn't it?

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing .

Slightly OT, but do you reckon we'll see Roland do his hypnosis trick with a shell? That's one of those visual markers that always really stood out to me.
