This has to do with the scene where Flagg is talking with Dayna. When they're talking, Flagg tells her that there's no reason why either side should have a reason to fight each other.

He sites all sorts of reasons, and then he says something that always stood out to me.

"There's room for both of us. There will still be room for both of us in 2190. That's if the babies live, something we won't know about here for at least another five months. If they do, and humanity continues, let our grandfathers fight it out, if they have a bone to pick. Or their grandfathers. *But what in God's name do we have to fight about?*"

So, who slipped up here, SK or Flagg? It shouldn't have said grandfathers, it should've been *grandchildren*. See what I mean? I've tried looking it up but haven't found any discussion about it. So, thoughts? An editing error or an intentional writing choice to have Flagg make a mistake?

I recently re-watched the epic masterpiece that is The Stand (ABC mini-series from 1994) but part 3 seemed to start off so randomly. And I'm wondering if my digital copy is somehow screwed up, or if this is the way it aired, if this is how the VHS tapes & DVD's are too?

Part 3 "The Betrayal" starts showing them all gathered around an unconscious body about to do surgery, but it hadn't been explained who the person was or how they got there? I even bought the entire series on Amazon (pretty cheap too! all 4 parts as a digital download for like ten bucks) and it was the exact same way. It seems almost like a missing chunk of the movie was cut out, or deleted, or some scenes were out of order.

Has anyone else experienced this confusion? The end of Part 2 has them all peacefully enjoying Boulder, Colorado after ending their travels there, then it fades to black as Mother Abigail is saying "make our STAND". But then the beginning of Part 3 suddenly opens with the group gathered around a dead/injured body, no context or explanation at all. Huh? What did I miss here?
