If it was a plant, why would it be so oblique? Lord Haart Send a noteboard - 29/12/2010 07:22:58 AM
I'm afraid that you seem to be grasping at straws here. The only evidence that supports the idea that breaking the seals might aid the Shadow is that RJ said that the original sealing would have tainted both sides of the OP if women had been involved - but in ToM, Rand voices this concern and it's clear he plans to try something different.

If the note was a plant, why on earth would the Shadow write the second part ("don't bring girl, too pretty";)? You're making some huge assumptions. Just because there's no way to definitively prove it's not a plant doesn't mean that theory is worthy of consideration. Furthermore, this has no bearing on Egwene, because she simply doesn't know where Rand is getting his info from - she doesn't even take the time to ASK him why it's necessary. She's become a control freak of the highest order, just like Tuon, Dark Rand, and the Dark One himself. Given her experiences in the series I can see why she's become this way, but I don't like her for it, nor do I think that I'm meant to.

I think people aren't giving Egwene enough credit. - 15/12/2010 04:59:09 AM 1729 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 1652 Views

I find the theory - 20/12/2010 09:18:34 AM 1536 Views
That's a new one to me - 20/12/2010 09:45:09 AM 1597 Views
Your theory is very unlikely - 20/12/2010 09:50:26 AM 1597 Views

That's not true. - 21/12/2010 02:22:50 AM 1773 Views
Sadly, the thing you reference four times isn't actually anywhere in the book. - 29/12/2010 03:17:15 AM 1904 Views

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think I love you. (edited) - 29/12/2010 06:43:32 PM 1848 Views

Dear lord, you wrote the Egwene haters' ultimate fantasy right there - 19/12/2010 01:41:55 AM 1626 Views
Don't think of use as Egwene haters... - 19/12/2010 04:32:11 AM 1573 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 1800 Views
Err, it's the other way around - 15/12/2010 09:00:38 AM 1668 Views
I see. It's the same thing, really, just looking at it from the opposite perspective... - 15/12/2010 09:14:22 AM 1758 Views
Don't you know it's all about the posturing - 15/12/2010 09:40:15 AM 1748 Views
It's more that you take it out of context - 15/12/2010 11:32:36 AM 1765 Views

While I agree overall, I think this is a case where Rand/TDR mistakes his role - 15/12/2010 05:37:25 PM 1512 Views
I don't see why Egwene would oppose his plan - 15/12/2010 06:17:47 PM 1528 Views
I don't think that's the issue. - 15/12/2010 07:31:03 PM 1613 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 1647 Views
Egwene's dream seems a little more personal than that - 18/12/2010 04:55:37 AM 1471 Views
Yes - 18/12/2010 07:57:35 AM 1452 Views
Actually, I think Tuon will capture her, and then release her. *NM* - 18/12/2010 02:47:42 PM 780 Views

That's just it: Egwene is not only wrong, she's narratively wrong. - 19/12/2010 11:30:35 PM 2078 Views
Man, that's the best take on Egwene I have ever read. - 20/12/2010 12:38:07 AM 1571 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 1583 Views
Ensure this value has at most 100 characters (it has 101). - 29/12/2010 03:00:22 PM 3283 Views
Ah, good point; Rand might have to do the job himself. - 29/12/2010 06:43:44 PM 1548 Views
More likely to be Flinn. - 29/12/2010 08:18:19 PM 1589 Views
Maybe, once he knows the signs and techniques. - 30/12/2010 03:10:27 PM 1576 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 1511 Views
Good point, too. - 30/12/2010 03:17:06 PM 1507 Views
He was holding the gateway open. *NM* - 30/12/2010 04:27:25 PM 761 Views
