Never finish watching this. Seriously. Also never finish reading the book. The Stand was Kings best book (arguably) right up until the end. And, unfortunately this is King's best made-for-TV adaptation up until the end. The ending kind of really stinks. But everything up until the end is three ways of total awesomeness.
