I read Insomnia, but apparently I missed that bit about Patrick. I’ve not read IT yet. Thanks for pointing that stuff out.

Not initially, but it really was the only way to end it. Agreed about Mordred, but not about Patrick. Patrick was something King had always intended I think. It goes back to Insomnia. The entire point of that book is saving the life of a very young Patrick Danville who is drawing the tower even at a very young age. Also, the scene where you initially meet Patrick is also related to IT. So while a little bit of a cop-out in terms of plot devices, it's still important to the universal nature of King's stories.
