The Stand: How "Fear and Loathing in New Vegas" Differs From Stephen King's Book
The fifth episode of
The Stand debuted on CBS All Access on Thursday with "Fear and Loathing in New Vegas" taking viewers into Randall Flagg's (Alexander Skarsgard) stronghold for the first time. At the same time, things continued to develop for those in Mother Abagail's (Whoopi Goldberg) Boulder Free Zone after spies were sent off at the end of "The House of the Dead" last week. As has been the case with previous episodes of
The Stand, there are some significant differences between Stephen King's book and the series and we're breaking down some of the major ones we spotted as the story begins to move even closer to the showdown between good and evil.
