Lloyd should have teamed up with Whitney
To stop Flagg at the end. It's clear Flagg was just using Lloyd and only saved Lloyd from dying in prison because he had potential. Lloyd was a fool.

After seeing what happened to Whitney, I think Lloyd would've been dead no matter what he did.

After seeing what happened to Whitney, I think Lloyd would've been dead no matter what he did.The book strongly implies that Flagg was planning to arrange for an 'accident' for Lloyd in the not-too-distant future. share
Lloyd was far too loyal to do anything like that. He owed Flagg for freeing him from prison.
shareThe novel also states that Lloyd felt "smarter" after teaming with Flagg, implying that Flagg had some sort of effect on Lloyd.
shareThe novel also states that Lloyd felt "smarter" after teaming with Flagg, implying that Flagg had some sort of effect on Lloyd.Quite so. Lloyd tells Whitney in the movie that Flagg saved his life by rescuing him from the jail cell and that he owed him for that reason, but that the main thing that he was grateful to Flagg for was that 'he changed me'. The book has Lloyd saying of Flagg that 'he made me smarter somehow'. share
