Uhh. Thanks ..I guess. Mik Send a noteboard - 27/07/2010 01:57:38 PM
IMO it's completely wrong. I believe it should be absolutely obvious to anyone that Moridin and SH are separate characters, after reading the books and what the authors said on this matter.
You just read the books any way you want man. All fine and dandy by me. It's just books anyway.

For some reason, a few people always tend to come up with those ideas that Moridin must be Taim, or that Mordin is SH in disguise, or now that Moridin & SH form a Slayer-like creature.
Maybe "For some reason" means these people have a piont?
Heck, if you would have read my first post better in this thread, you'd see I think Taims body was used for the Transmigration, so I guess I think so too!
It's just the way I read the books. I'm just a fan, loving the story. Same like you.

In my view those thoughts aren't really supported by any convincing evidence; it's rather just the ambition to come up with a "most original theory" just for the sake of such an idea.
Well. No. I'll have you know I don't give a rats arse about internet-glory, if it even exists. It's a meaningless and fleeting contact you and I have (no offence).

I'm a 34 y/o engineer with a wife and 2 little kids. I'm having 4 weeks off while my wife works the first 1 and saw this topic come along. 99% of the time I'm just reading the threads and I don't even have time or even feel like responing.
What can I win for the "most original theory"? Nothing. I couldn't care less about it. Does it put bread on my shelve or something? I saw this topic/ your first post.. and on a whim, I decided to just write my perspective.

Heck. I've been reading the story I'm trying to show you ever since '94 (when I re-read the Eye for the first time -again on holiday- hehe). If I would have wanted to "invent theories", I would have done it earlier, wouldn't you think?

Plot-wise I don't see any sensible reason why RJ would rather literally want a physical link between Moridin and SH (and later also Rand), instead of simply having Mordin & SH work together very closely, because they follow the same philosophy.
Well. I do, but I won't 'bore' you with the details. You'd all think it bullcrap because you don't read it that way and I'm just out for some non-existant glory on a back-end corner of the Internet. Ha!

I believe you are simply reading too much into a few words, while you ignore the blatant rest or believe it was only stated to fool the ordinary reader, though this hardly makes sense.
Well. It hurts a tad that you view it that way, but that's fine. From where you stand, I do see your point. Either way, it's all fine. Once AMoL will be out, we'll know...and we'll probably not even be here.

Thus you make the whole matter more complicated and convoluted than it actually is, likely just because you became that sold on your pretty far-fetched idea. But we will see...
ONe thing, Etzel. What you view as complicated and convulated, might just be 'cut and dried' to someone else. Ok?

Some people see Patterns within Patterns where others don't even see a pattern in the first place. Even in your -and my- life, you will encounter people who won't see what you think is obvious. *shrugs*
Way of the world I guess.

Cheerio,
Mik -holiday-a-go-gooo-!

Don't let her talk you out of it so easily. Give us the reasons behind your theory! Narg - 23/07/2010 03:41:00 AM 1088 Views

Re: No...(en garde, Etzellius Maximus!) Mik - 23/07/2010 08:38:26 AM 1151 Views
I haven't seen those answers either so I'm interested. I don't think they're the same Deadsy - 23/07/2010 08:49:11 AM 1017 Views
Well, I already talked more about it below Etzel - 23/07/2010 09:17:10 AM 1266 Views
Re: Well, I already talked more about it below Mik - 23/07/2010 11:29:08 AM 1101 Views
Yup, I think they are one and the same. Mik - 23/07/2010 08:21:20 AM 1411 Views
This idea is hardly vindicable Etzel - 23/07/2010 09:12:14 AM 1131 Views
Au contraire. Mik - 23/07/2010 11:23:09 AM 1261 Views
But why... Etzel - 23/07/2010 11:32:25 AM 1073 Views
Re: But why... Lord Haart - 23/07/2010 12:01:00 PM 1168 Views
Again. RJ fooled you. Mik - 23/07/2010 12:15:26 PM 1175 Views
I think it would have to work this way: Lord Haart - 23/07/2010 03:10:59 PM 1102 Views
Your reasoning falls apart right at the start, even though there is some truth to the rest, I think. Mik - 23/07/2010 04:22:22 PM 1191 Views
Um not quite Ryan - 25/07/2010 05:47:22 AM 1040 Views
Hehehe. True, but the mental image still helps. Ishamael - 25/07/2010 08:29:18 AM 1415 Views

I think your evidence is pretty weak... Etzel - 26/07/2010 10:14:01 AM 1019 Views
Why don't you answer some of the issues I raised then, instead of keeping it vague..? Mik - 26/07/2010 11:58:02 AM 1120 Views
Re: Why don't you answer some of the issues I raised then, instead of keeping it vague..? Etzel - 26/07/2010 12:18:51 PM 1104 Views

Frankly, I don't see any similarity... Etzel - 26/07/2010 01:57:56 PM 1084 Views
Re: Frankly, I don't see any similarity... Lord Haart - 26/07/2010 04:09:52 PM 978 Views
The problem is... Etzel - 26/07/2010 04:27:50 PM 940 Views
No problem at all, but your unwillingness to accept the possibilty after all these years. Mik - 27/07/2010 11:38:10 AM 1038 Views
I already answered all this... Etzel - 27/07/2010 11:46:36 AM 1059 Views
Yeah. And as proven earlier your answers are flat-out wrong. Mik - 27/07/2010 01:17:36 PM 1156 Views
I think we have to agree to disagree Etzel - 27/07/2010 01:34:34 PM 1002 Views
Agreed then. Mik - 27/07/2010 02:03:52 PM 1125 Views
Thanks for those answers. Here's how wrong they actually are: Mik - 26/07/2010 01:54:44 PM 1084 Views
No problem Etzel - 26/07/2010 02:30:45 PM 1140 Views
Why does that scene matter? Lord Haart - 26/07/2010 04:16:33 PM 1040 Views
Dunno, you have to ask Mik about this. *NM* Etzel - 26/07/2010 04:23:19 PM 568 Views
Why the half answer? Here's my full answer and the questions you missed..again.. Mik - 26/07/2010 05:14:00 PM 1197 Views
Just to understand you correctly... Etzel - 26/07/2010 05:33:46 PM 1043 Views
Sure..I'll answer your questions again.. "quid pro quo"? Mik - 27/07/2010 12:43:21 PM 1110 Views
Well, kudos to you, if that idea turns out to be right Etzel - 27/07/2010 01:27:05 PM 1054 Views
Re: Well, kudos to you, if that idea turns out to be right Lord Haart - 27/07/2010 01:56:32 PM 1002 Views
The DO has control over Moridin... Etzel - 27/07/2010 02:04:50 PM 913 Views
Uhh. Thanks ..I guess. Mik - 27/07/2010 01:57:38 PM 1150 Views
I almost want the theory to be true, but one quick thing: Gher - 26/07/2010 03:53:04 PM 1039 Views
Re: I almost want the theory to be true, but one quick thing: Lord Haart - 26/07/2010 04:18:40 PM 914 Views
True, but if they're ordering other people to do it anyway... Gher - 26/07/2010 04:51:18 PM 932 Views
One should also remember... Etzel - 26/07/2010 05:06:36 PM 960 Views
Eh? Mik - 26/07/2010 05:30:20 PM 978 Views
But that the killing stopped, doesn't mean at all that Moridin and SH are one creature. *NM* Etzel - 26/07/2010 05:35:02 PM 1049 Views
Give me a better reason? Why did RJ make the timing fit and hid it so far apart? Mik - 26/07/2010 05:36:28 PM 1073 Views
I think... Etzel - 26/07/2010 05:48:21 PM 883 Views

Thanks! *bows and tips wide-brimmed hat* Mik - 28/07/2010 07:54:05 AM 1142 Views
