Re: But we never... Datakim Send a noteboard - 15/07/2010 10:52:24 PM

Have such a PoV from a character, who died in the previous book. Therefore it's highly unlikely that BS would suddenly do something like this.


You could just as easily have said that we never had such a PoV from a character, who lost a battle (Sevanna) in the previous books before it happened. I don't understand the idea that just because it has never happened before, it cannot happen. There is always a first time.


One can't really understand why some people firmly believe that we will probably get such a scene from Graendal's PoV. It's like stating that we will likely get a Elza PoV in ToM, where she has a chat with her Warder before her death to give as important informations. If infos about Elza would be such important and couldn't be included in TGS for some reason, we would rather get a PoV of her Warder in ToM, where he thinks about Elza and their past talk. This is less confusing than bringing a dead character back and could actually advance the plot without jumping back in the timeline. The other way is unnecessarily more complicated.


To be honest, while I think a PoV from Graendal where we see her final thoughts as the palace is being balefired would be pretty cool, I am not all that certain it will happen. I just want to point out that it very easily COULD.

As for Elza, she is a very poor comparison to Graendal. Elza was just a random BA of little importance, whereas Graendal was a major forsaken. PoV from Elza would be pretty boring. PoV from Graendal would be very interesting.

how do you get there from this? darius_sedai - 12/07/2010 05:47:42 PM 1143 Views
Right. There could easily be a scene like this: beetnemesis - 12/07/2010 06:22:45 PM 1081 Views
Because... Etzel - 12/07/2010 10:40:29 PM 1128 Views
You're brilliant, Etzel, but Brandon is NOT robert jordan newyorkersedai - 13/07/2010 01:18:44 AM 1065 Views
He said it won't be 100% flashback like book 10 Rurouni_Kenshin - 13/07/2010 05:30:18 AM 981 Views
But obviously not for the timelines, which are up to date. Etzel - 13/07/2010 08:41:37 AM 1084 Views
the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM 1057 Views
Re: the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer dacole - 14/07/2010 04:54:16 AM 1030 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 1045 Views
No... Etzel - 14/07/2010 08:10:12 AM 963 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 926 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 890 Views
sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 04:56:09 PM 1099 Views
Again... Etzel - 15/07/2010 08:57:34 AM 849 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 1010 Views
The point is... Etzel - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM 963 Views
that is 100% your interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:51:49 PM 1003 Views
Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation. Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:19:38 PM 916 Views
I'm pointing out that she had more than just Rands plot line darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 03:59:36 PM 919 Views
As far as we know... Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:06:56 PM 981 Views
she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 01:58:36 PM 1128 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 878 Views
She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM 988 Views
We will see... *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:36:21 PM 1191 Views

The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:14:04 AM 1099 Views
give up Eztel...they think they know Asmodens killer...we know they are wrong dacole - 13/07/2010 09:45:15 AM 984 Views
I agree regarding Graendal, but have to disagree concerning Lanfear. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:51:00 AM 1179 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 1027 Views
It's completely unlikely and unnecessary Etzel - 13/07/2010 10:25:36 AM 1098 Views
you keep trotting this point out like it matters darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 09:07:36 PM 978 Views
a very irritating habit indeed!! Sidious - 15/07/2010 05:29:19 AM 1085 Views
There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos! Etzel - 15/07/2010 09:01:58 AM 919 Views
where do you get this stuff from? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:41:07 PM 1120 Views
Eh, no Etzel - 15/07/2010 02:08:56 PM 988 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:56:02 PM 968 Views
Graendal actually tells that she learned interesting things from Aran'gar Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:14:54 PM 1079 Views
pure interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:00:31 PM 980 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 1063 Views
No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM* darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:27:40 PM 441 Views
Aran'gar just had the luck that Rand wasn't after her Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:34:53 PM 804 Views

And... Etzel - 16/07/2010 11:35:44 AM 1000 Views
you continue to ignore that Graendal died about 2 months after she darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 02:06:48 PM 1003 Views

not really darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:58:57 PM 1144 Views
Good, then we agree, if you consider it unlikely as well. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:56:50 PM 1131 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 977 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 999 Views
Ok... Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:17:02 PM 890 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 1084 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 1004 Views
