Re: Moghedian didn't escape either. Sidious Send a noteboard - 07/08/2010 08:25:20 AM

But it didn't. Her boss did the dirty work. No one let her out because they were scared.


Yes but the prediction was that she would escape i.e. not remain imprisoned. Some people thought she would die in prison or that Rand would kill her.

Using the word escape implies it is her own efforts. Specifying that you meant she will somehow, through her own actions or with outside assistance, become free, is too much like modifying your prediction in hindsight. Maybe you meant that, but your choice of words was disingenuously ambiguous.


I thought Semirhage would get free by herself, but also that she would escape. I never claimed to get it totally right.

Except Cadsuane had already reversed that trend and broken Semirhage. An arrogant, self-worshipping Forsaken had no confidence of your assertions.


Cadsuane was the only one who could get her mind to see through it all. It took an exceptional person to do so.

Like what Biblical villain would be sufficiently intimidating? Not to mention the situation would be reversed. That's talking about a barbarian from the tougher times, as opposed to someone from a soft and weak civilized time.


Well I said biblical character because I couldn't think of anyone useful, and Noah or Abraham would be disappointing. But if Hercules or Perseus existed, they'd cast a big shadow.

Well, technically, she didn't escape - she was released. And she never left the building, either Cannoli - 06/08/2010 12:24:29 PM 803 Views
