BS wanted to put her behind a "complicated" plot Marshall Send a noteboard - 25/11/2010 04:11:01 PM

IMO, Brandon realized we hadn't had much Graendal time, that she'd been talked up to no end, and he wanted to demonstrate that she was the conniving, manipulative mastermind that we all have heard she was.

And of course, as it has been with every Forsaken, it was a giant letdown.

I'd say that DomA is one of the most thoughtful posters here. He researches his comments and gives - 25/11/2010 06:47:58 PM 981 Views

That doesn't mean he has any actual evidence as to BS tampering with RJ's notes - 26/11/2010 01:33:08 AM 903 Views
