LTT was close to perfect, and he barely managed to eke out a draw with the Shadow. Gher Send a noteboard - 03/05/2010 09:16:29 PM
Maybe the question should not be why LTT was so perfect, but rather why Rand is not. Why did the pattern not arrange things so that Rand is the most intelligent/powerfull/perfect guy around. I mean he arguably needs to be perfect more than LTT did since he starts off from such a worse position.


I think the Pattern learned not to put all its eggs in one basket. Rand needs a good support system more than he needs to be perfect.

I thought that was supposed to be left up to the reader to decide. Gher - 03/05/2010 03:45:07 PM 551 Views

What flaws? Lews Therin HAD no flaws. It's just you average folk being bitter about perfection... Shannow - 03/05/2010 08:39:19 PM 650 Views
Who's bitter? Sidious - 04/05/2010 05:20:36 AM 546 Views
Bitter is too strong a word. More "conditioned" to search for character flaws in literature... Shannow - 05/05/2010 03:48:49 PM 470 Views

The Pattern can do this, so complicated or not, it happens all the time. RJ already said... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/05/2010 07:14:56 PM 590 Views
but thats how they got 12 books out of it so far... *NM* Iceman - 06/05/2010 04:29:50 PM 217 Views
I agree. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/05/2010 07:10:50 PM 426 Views

the reason you can't find real people as accomplished is no one lives that long in real life! darius_sedai - 06/05/2010 08:50:58 PM 468 Views
