Re: the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer dacole Send a noteboard - 14/07/2010 04:54:16 AM
I disagree since she was killed by rand she is directly part of his plotline. Now how exactly can we have a revel of her as the killer when it HAS BEEN SAID that the KILLER will be revealing it themself. When she is dead and we know she won't be getting a flashback. Moraine killed him (slayer is ridiculous sorry eztal).

I would love for you to give more detail on how the scenes you imagine would play out.


Such a scene would precisely be a flashback in Rand's plot-/ timeline, especially if we would get the PoV from Graendal just before Rand's balefire hit her palace. It's clear from his answers, that BS won't jump back in Rand's plotline.


a better candidate as Asmodean's killer. Which it does not. There are plenty of ways to reveal Graendal as the culprit even if she is dead AND there are NO flashbacks.

There are dozens of ways to incorporate a Graendal scene from another POV that is NOT in Rand's plot line. Aran'gar could be near Elayne, Mat or Perrin and have such a flashback. Mesaana could have a chat with Demandred. Moridin could inform Cyndane and/or Moghedien of Graendal's death (or escape if that's how it plays out), there could even be another Social prior to Rand Balefiring NB.

Just because BSand said there won't be as much flashback as book 10 doesn't mean Graendal won't appear, you can't even claim she's even part of Rand's plot line! For most of the series she's not been involved directly in any of the main cast's plot lines.

He's been vague on her death since the beginning and has even alluded to her possibly being alive, which could mean she has a live appearance after the events at NB.

how do you get there from this? darius_sedai - 12/07/2010 05:47:42 PM 1197 Views
Right. There could easily be a scene like this: beetnemesis - 12/07/2010 06:22:45 PM 1137 Views
Because... Etzel - 12/07/2010 10:40:29 PM 1180 Views
You're brilliant, Etzel, but Brandon is NOT robert jordan newyorkersedai - 13/07/2010 01:18:44 AM 1126 Views
He said it won't be 100% flashback like book 10 Rurouni_Kenshin - 13/07/2010 05:30:18 AM 1035 Views
But obviously not for the timelines, which are up to date. Etzel - 13/07/2010 08:41:37 AM 1137 Views
the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM 1108 Views
Re: the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer dacole - 14/07/2010 04:54:16 AM 1083 Views
Graendal is part of several plot lines. Aran'gar at the very least is unseen in TGS, but involved darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:40:09 PM 1110 Views
No... Etzel - 14/07/2010 08:10:12 AM 1019 Views
so it's not possible for anything that has never been done in the series to happen... ok darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:38:08 PM 978 Views
Again, there is no sensible reason for a scene where Graendal is shown again before her death. *NM* Etzel - 14/07/2010 04:47:21 PM 945 Views
sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 04:56:09 PM 1165 Views
Again... Etzel - 15/07/2010 08:57:34 AM 908 Views
or it could as easily be a scene from Aran'gar's POV that includes Graendal darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:36:21 PM 1064 Views
The point is... Etzel - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM 1013 Views
that is 100% your interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:51:49 PM 1065 Views
Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation. Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:19:38 PM 974 Views
I'm pointing out that she had more than just Rands plot line darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 03:59:36 PM 976 Views
As far as we know... Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:06:56 PM 1053 Views
she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 01:58:36 PM 1178 Views
There is nothing to support your view, that Graendal was directly involved in any other plotlines... Etzel - 16/07/2010 02:31:01 PM 943 Views
She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM 1041 Views
We will see... *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:36:21 PM 1243 Views
Indeed Sidious - 13/07/2010 08:49:43 AM 955 Views
The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:14:04 AM 1153 Views
give up Eztel...they think they know Asmodens killer...we know they are wrong dacole - 13/07/2010 09:45:15 AM 1045 Views
I agree regarding Graendal, but have to disagree concerning Lanfear. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:51:00 AM 1238 Views
Re: The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... Sidious - 13/07/2010 10:03:14 AM 1080 Views
It's completely unlikely and unnecessary Etzel - 13/07/2010 10:25:36 AM 1150 Views
you keep trotting this point out like it matters darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 09:07:36 PM 1032 Views
a very irritating habit indeed!! Sidious - 15/07/2010 05:29:19 AM 1133 Views
There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos! Etzel - 15/07/2010 09:01:58 AM 973 Views
where do you get this stuff from? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:41:07 PM 1172 Views
Eh, no Etzel - 15/07/2010 02:08:56 PM 1048 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:56:02 PM 1029 Views
Graendal actually tells that she learned interesting things from Aran'gar Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:14:54 PM 1133 Views
pure interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:00:31 PM 1037 Views
Well, it fits RJ's theme that the bad guys actually aren't that competent. *NM* Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:12:19 PM 1115 Views
No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM* darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:27:40 PM 465 Views
Aran'gar just had the luck that Rand wasn't after her Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:34:53 PM 857 Views
Exchanging info is not doing nothing Sidious - 15/07/2010 06:54:17 PM 999 Views

IMO... Etzel - 16/07/2010 08:46:03 AM 946 Views
And... Etzel - 16/07/2010 11:35:44 AM 1056 Views
you continue to ignore that Graendal died about 2 months after she darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 02:06:48 PM 1090 Views
Usually the Forsaken meet in neutral TAR... Etzel - 16/07/2010 02:22:34 PM 1115 Views
not really darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:58:57 PM 1194 Views
Good, then we agree, if you consider it unlikely as well. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:56:50 PM 1185 Views
Trust me, Graendal won't be seen; only her name will be mentioned a few times (as BS said). *NM* Etzel - 15/07/2010 09:03:33 AM 1024 Views
You should really just write it for BS since you clearly know exactly what's going to happen darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:57:59 PM 1076 Views
Ok... Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:17:02 PM 942 Views
When did I say there would be a Graendal POV? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:03:54 PM 1017 Views

Yeah, RAFO! I predigt however, that we won't have another Graendal PoV. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:59:26 PM 994 Views
Etzel, you're making an assumption that might not be true. Logain - 16/07/2010 05:47:39 PM 1151 Views

Rand used so much baelfire on her that he zapped them all back to the last 3rd Age darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:38:48 PM 1143 Views
I wonder if their big role means Rand and Eg will get more chapters than first thought. *NM* RandAllThor - 12/07/2010 05:27:44 PM 1056 Views
Yeah, seems so. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 12:19:53 PM 1008 Views
