Likewise with the 3 Black Oaths, Verrin found a loophole about revealing the secrets of The Black Ajah

She 'found' a loophole? Verin's loophole is an entire unnecessary/worthless clause.

It's simply not believable 'in story' that the Black Ajah swore this oath:

I shall hold close the secrets of the Black Ajah, unto the hour of my death.

instead of this one:

I shall forever hold close the secrets of the Black Ajah.

Plain and simple, this was bad writing.


But I was just adding the 5th or so example of these Ter'angreal oath-y / compel-ly things to demonstrate the premise is flawed. That said it makes me question Ishmael‘s competence. He was a philosophy major, did he never have a logic class or anything that tested analytical abilities when he created his variant three oaths?

Well you can always watch the Cowboy Bebop live action, since it airs the same day *NM* Roland00 - 28/10/2021 07:23:17 PM 78 Views
It's going to be the Woke of Time, you'll see *NM* Tom - 28/10/2021 10:23:48 PM 91 Views
The video of Rafe Judkins commenting on the trailer is also worth watching. Legolas - 27/10/2021 09:19:11 PM 281 Views
Yeah he definitely seems very knowledgeable about the series fionwe1987 - 27/10/2021 09:40:43 PM 202 Views
Yes. Most of the changes he talks about are good for the medium transition AgentApple - 28/10/2021 10:17:23 AM 187 Views
I liked him way back on Survivor. I guess it's good he didn't win AgentApple - 28/10/2021 10:18:44 AM 176 Views
The truncated Third Oath is just sloppy whatever the justification. damookster - 28/10/2021 06:56:54 PM 289 Views
Trailers truncate. That's nothing new. *NM* fionwe1987 - 28/10/2021 07:15:24 PM 94 Views

Umm isn't the reason for the wording obvious? fionwe1987 - 28/10/2021 10:01:39 PM 194 Views
Though clever, this explanation isn't very satisfying. Narg - 29/10/2021 12:00:17 AM 216 Views
I don't think so aerocontrols - 29/10/2021 01:26:46 AM 190 Views
Yeah, that was silly... Legolas - 28/10/2021 07:50:47 PM 180 Views
