Re: Easy life of Lightside heroes and pathetic incompetence of the Shadow - so what's new in Wot... moratcorlm Send a noteboard - 29/11/2010 01:59:18 AM
What about introducing the "student exchanges" with the Wise Ones and the Windfinders?
OK, though the revelation of huge organized groups of channelers independent of the White Tower would have driven any Amyrlin to act. The method would have varied depending on the woman, but we see from Egwene's POV that her intent is to ultimately subordinate the Wise Ones and Windfinders to the Tower, as any Amyrlin would.
Moreover, she changed (for the best) the rules about how the Hall might meet (though the old rule was so retarded I hardly can believe it made any sense).
Changing parliamentary Rules of Order is just about the most conservative kind of change imaginable. This is not revolutionary stuff here.

Agreed. The series is formulaic and predictable, and even I expected a few more twists. Tom - 28/11/2010 07:47:10 PM 1392 Views

It's a well told story with fun characters overall, but it's definitely not "War & Peace" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/11/2010 06:33:12 PM 1373 Views

I'm not really sure if or why any reader would need to suspend disbelief to enjoy WoT RugbyPlayingAshaman - 30/11/2010 10:31:49 PM 1217 Views
I've always thought of this series (and fantasy in general) are a bit like Aesop's Fables LadyLorraine - 30/11/2010 10:44:09 PM 1156 Views
Please tell me what drugs you're on Tom - 01/12/2010 04:04:39 AM 1328 Views
It's called 'reality' - I agree with LadyLorraine & Moratcorlm RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/12/2010 07:57:35 PM 1235 Views
You are absolutely wrong. Tom - 02/12/2010 04:53:52 AM 1209 Views
You are incorrect - you should read the definition you reference before posting it. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/12/2010 04:19:16 PM 1329 Views
No, I read the ENTIRE article, unlike you. You have to scroll down a bit. Tom - 02/12/2010 05:47:13 PM 1127 Views
No, you need to read and comprehend. That was a THEORY. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/12/2010 07:11:01 PM 1038 Views
It's really very simple. Tom - 04/12/2010 12:31:16 AM 1345 Views
mk, I think I understand more what you meant now after reading this exchange LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 05:42:47 AM 1248 Views
I still don't agree; sorry. I don't think this theory applies to everyone. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 06/12/2010 05:30:41 PM 1342 Views
No, those are disbeliefs that you must suspend. LadyLorraine - 01/12/2010 08:18:25 PM 1143 Views
You have to feel the characters are somehow believable to empathize with them. Tom - 02/12/2010 01:05:29 AM 1197 Views
I don't see how WoT's writing (Before, or now) prevents that LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 04:12:54 AM 1048 Views
I'm not arguing that it necessarily does for everyone, just that YOU HAVE TO SUSPEND DISBELIEF Tom - 02/12/2010 04:48:51 AM 1238 Views
