Don't think of use as Egwene haters... Lord Haart Send a noteboard - 19/12/2010 04:32:11 AM
We just want what's best for Randland, not for an archaic organization of enfeebled lemmings whose pathetic bickering and maneuvering represents a slap in the face of gargantuan proportions to every other character in Randland who is actually trying to get things done.

I don't even particularly dislike Egwene's decision making - what I dislike is her mentality and her inability to see beyond herself. If the tower was any less grossly incompetent than it is, I would be a little more sympathetic of the importance she places upon it, but right now she needs to have a little humility and realize that while she's done about as well in the Tower as can be expected, the simple fact is that the Tower is the weakest group of channelers in Randland except for the Kin - and even the Kin generally have more battle experience and wisdom than the average AS. The Wise Ones and Windfinders have some issues but because they are actually integrated into their respective societies, they are free from the AS Ivory Tower attitude. The Asha'man and damane are several levels above that.

I think people aren't giving Egwene enough credit. - 15/12/2010 04:59:09 AM 1606 Views
She's not bringing everyone for a discussion, but for leverage to force him to change his mind. - 19/12/2010 09:54:49 PM 1518 Views

Huh? - 20/12/2010 05:09:39 AM 1417 Views
I find the theory - 20/12/2010 09:18:34 AM 1409 Views
That's a new one to me - 20/12/2010 09:45:09 AM 1476 Views
Your theory is very unlikely - 20/12/2010 09:50:26 AM 1462 Views
If it was a plant, why would it be so oblique? - 29/12/2010 07:22:58 AM 1312 Views

That's not true. - 21/12/2010 02:22:50 AM 1640 Views
Sadly, the thing you reference four times isn't actually anywhere in the book. - 29/12/2010 03:17:15 AM 1749 Views

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think I love you. (edited) - 29/12/2010 06:43:32 PM 1730 Views
Ah, if only I could sell the concept of sister-wives.... - 29/12/2010 07:09:56 PM 1376 Views

Dear lord, you wrote the Egwene haters' ultimate fantasy right there - 19/12/2010 01:41:55 AM 1486 Views
Don't think of use as Egwene haters... - 19/12/2010 04:32:11 AM 1432 Views
One problematic issue...This assumes the Dark One cannot hold himself back once the Seals are broken - 15/12/2010 07:57:53 AM 1668 Views
Err, it's the other way around - 15/12/2010 09:00:38 AM 1543 Views
I see. It's the same thing, really, just looking at it from the opposite perspective... - 15/12/2010 09:14:22 AM 1620 Views
Don't you know it's all about the posturing - 15/12/2010 09:40:15 AM 1620 Views
It's more that you take it out of context - 15/12/2010 11:32:36 AM 1626 Views
So then... - 15/12/2010 06:35:02 PM 1553 Views

While I agree overall, I think this is a case where Rand/TDR mistakes his role - 15/12/2010 05:37:25 PM 1355 Views
I don't see why Egwene would oppose his plan - 15/12/2010 06:17:47 PM 1395 Views
I don't think that's the issue. - 15/12/2010 07:31:03 PM 1472 Views
I think Egwene is successful and Rand has to go to the Seanchan for female channeler assistance - 18/12/2010 12:47:54 AM 1534 Views
Egwene's dream seems a little more personal than that - 18/12/2010 04:55:37 AM 1350 Views
Yes - 18/12/2010 07:57:35 AM 1334 Views
Actually, I think Tuon will capture her, and then release her. *NM* - 18/12/2010 02:47:42 PM 717 Views

Those are vewings and prophesies... - 18/12/2010 03:43:55 PM 1264 Views
I wish - 16/12/2010 08:29:23 PM 1457 Views
That's just it: Egwene is not only wrong, she's narratively wrong. - 19/12/2010 11:30:35 PM 1865 Views
Man, that's the best take on Egwene I have ever read. - 20/12/2010 12:38:07 AM 1451 Views

You may be onto something there. - 20/12/2010 01:35:46 AM 1450 Views

Wish I'd read this sooner, 'cos I agree on several points. - 29/12/2010 03:38:59 AM 1476 Views

It seems an odd oversight, yes; I can't even recall her being Delved when the truth was revealed. - 29/12/2010 12:40:00 PM 1447 Views
Ensure this value has at most 100 characters (it has 101). - 29/12/2010 03:00:22 PM 3156 Views
Ah, good point; Rand might have to do the job himself. - 29/12/2010 06:43:44 PM 1417 Views
More likely to be Flinn. - 29/12/2010 08:18:19 PM 1463 Views
Maybe, once he knows the signs and techniques. - 30/12/2010 03:10:27 PM 1423 Views
Not sure if Rand had seized the source yet - he wouldn't have wanted to do it in front of Ramshalan - 30/12/2010 03:15:43 PM 1377 Views
Good point, too. - 30/12/2010 03:17:06 PM 1375 Views
He was holding the gateway open. *NM* - 30/12/2010 04:27:25 PM 682 Views
Thanks, had forgotten that. - 31/12/2010 04:43:25 AM 1350 Views
