" Trash "


I love this mini series and the book .. but something at the end that I didn't understand about Trash .. At the end when Trash was sitting there with the bomb and when Trash said ' My life for you " , that he meant that to God and not Flagg .. And that Trash was working for God all along ... I may have just got it wrong .. It took me watching it three times before I realized it .. Did anyone else see it that way ?

"A man that wouldn't cheat for a poke don't want one bad enough".

Not at all. Watching it now on IFC. Seen it many times before. Flagg is a demon.

Read the book numerous times, and have seen the mini-series too many times to count. I never took Trash to be anything but a faithful server of The Walking Dude, Randall Flagg.

I sure don't. Someone brought this up some time back on another thread. Here is a C&P of an answer in the older thread.
Trashy was on Flagg's side as Flagg's people gave him the only acceptance he had ever known. When Trashy was saying 'My life for you!', he was dedicating his life to Flagg, not God.

He was unwanted by everyone else and had been his whole life, so when Flagg told 'you are the man I want', it was a call that was irresistible. In Vegas, Trashy found what he had been seeking his whole life but prior to the plague had never found. That was to fit in; to belong.

No; Trashy was firmly on Flagg's side here.
Hope this helps.

On a side note, who is willing to give away their age by admitting they remember Max Headroom? 😀

I'm in my 60's and I vaguely remember him.
