Ishamael is very clearly happy with the result; you can see him smile as he's disintegrated by Rand's banishment. The entire point was to get Rand either to fall to the Dark (which nearly worked, in one of the genuinely more implausible points of the story) or have Rand "defeat" him and break the cuendillar seal. It was a win-win scenario.

I love the show; it doesn't mean I think it's good. I love Doctor Who too.

It's an adaptation of books I adored, on TV, with special effects.

Didn't they just name drop it in the first 2 minutes then never really develop it again? *NM*
