sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 14/07/2010 04:56:09 PM
I argue that this Graendal flashback theory is ridiculous if she died in TGS, because something like this never happened in the series (namely that a dead character got a flashback in the next book; other characters just think about the dead character). No one argued this after Sammael's or Osan'gar's death, because it's obviously absurd. Graendal would have gotten another PoV in TGS if it were needed. Apparently a few people just think it will be differently in Graendal's case, because RJ said that Asmo's killer will most likely reveal it in his or her PoV.


Believe as you like, I'm not going to make this a debate about who killed Asmodean. Regardless of that issue, there is nothing in BSand's quote saying there will be NO flashbacks, only that Rand is up to date as is Egwene. Graendal was involved with several plot lines and any of those could easily be behind Rand/Egwene in ToM. Aran'gar has not been heard from at the very least.


Not to mention letting us know what Aran'gar is up too or give us further insight into other FS ... she's been the best character for that by far.

No reason for BSand to play the "I'm not going to tell you she's dead card" if he isn't going to reveal it in the text. If she's dead and not coming back in anyway what sensible reason would he have to be coy about her?

how do you get there from this? - 12/07/2010 05:47:42 PM 1286 Views
Right. There could easily be a scene like this: - 12/07/2010 06:22:45 PM 1218 Views
Because... - 12/07/2010 10:40:29 PM 1263 Views
You're brilliant, Etzel, but Brandon is NOT robert jordan - 13/07/2010 01:18:44 AM 1218 Views
He said it won't be 100% flashback like book 10 - 13/07/2010 05:30:18 AM 1126 Views
But obviously not for the timelines, which are up to date. - 13/07/2010 08:41:37 AM 1224 Views
the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM 1189 Views
No... - 14/07/2010 08:10:12 AM 1106 Views
so it's not possible for anything that has never been done in the series to happen... ok - 14/07/2010 02:38:08 PM 1063 Views
Again, there is no sensible reason for a scene where Graendal is shown again before her death. *NM* - 14/07/2010 04:47:21 PM 1036 Views

Again... - 15/07/2010 08:57:34 AM 990 Views
or it could as easily be a scene from Aran'gar's POV that includes Graendal - 15/07/2010 01:36:21 PM 1149 Views
The point is... - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM 1103 Views
that is 100% your interpretation - 15/07/2010 02:51:49 PM 1160 Views
Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation. - 15/07/2010 03:19:38 PM 1060 Views
I'm pointing out that she had more than just Rands plot line - 15/07/2010 03:59:36 PM 1062 Views
As far as we know... - 15/07/2010 04:06:56 PM 1137 Views
she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved - 16/07/2010 01:58:36 PM 1253 Views
There is nothing to support your view, that Graendal was directly involved in any other plotlines... - 16/07/2010 02:31:01 PM 1025 Views
She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM 1122 Views

a very irritating habit indeed!! - 15/07/2010 05:29:19 AM 1223 Views
There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos! - 15/07/2010 09:01:58 AM 1060 Views
where do you get this stuff from? - 15/07/2010 01:41:07 PM 1256 Views
Eh, no - 15/07/2010 02:08:56 PM 1127 Views
I disagree - 15/07/2010 02:56:02 PM 1117 Views
Graendal actually tells that she learned interesting things from Aran'gar - 15/07/2010 03:14:54 PM 1204 Views
pure interpretation - 15/07/2010 04:00:31 PM 1119 Views
Well, it fits RJ's theme that the bad guys actually aren't that competent. *NM* - 15/07/2010 04:12:19 PM 1211 Views
No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM* - 16/07/2010 03:27:40 PM 508 Views
Aran'gar just had the luck that Rand wasn't after her - 16/07/2010 03:34:53 PM 938 Views

Good, then we agree, if you consider it unlikely as well. *NM* - 16/07/2010 05:56:50 PM 1266 Views
Trust me, Graendal won't be seen; only her name will be mentioned a few times (as BS said). *NM* - 15/07/2010 09:03:33 AM 1102 Views
You should really just write it for BS since you clearly know exactly what's going to happen - 15/07/2010 02:57:59 PM 1167 Views

I wonder if their big role means Rand and Eg will get more chapters than first thought. *NM* - 12/07/2010 05:27:44 PM 1139 Views
