Why did the rainbow visions get so boring? Deadsy Send a noteboard - 02/02/2011 05:17:45 PM
I know this is a tiny thing, but it irritated me.

One of Mat's visions in ToM was "Rand and Min, sharing a meal."

That's it. They were eating.

There's just no point whatsoever in showing that if that's all you're going to say. Always before they actually let the ta'veren know some detail about the others. Like, Rand doesn't have a hand anymore. Rand has a bunned Aes Sedai with him who looks formidable. Rand is at the White Tower talking to Egwene (that would have been cool to see from Mat or Perrin's perspective).

Who would have written the end of WoT better yet still similar to RJ? *NM* Fox and Ravens - 02/02/2011 06:39:53 PM 655 Views
Let them whine. Ghavrel - 02/02/2011 08:03:13 PM 1478 Views
It's incredible that some readers actually seem to prefer Sanderson's attempts at being an author Cynewulf - 02/02/2011 10:32:31 PM 1456 Views

Yeah, it's mindboggling that someone may have a different taste than you Zeratul - 03/02/2011 01:55:57 PM 1411 Views

Because that's life A Deathwatch Guard - 02/02/2011 08:18:22 PM 1515 Views
It isn't life though. It's entertainment, and there's so much fun potential for that connection Deadsy - 02/02/2011 08:27:45 PM 1274 Views
It's definitely better when they see something interesting, or important A Deathwatch Guard - 02/02/2011 10:19:50 PM 1360 Views
I disagree Deadsy - 02/02/2011 10:30:49 PM 1279 Views
Like it or not, Sanderson is to blame for this Cynewulf - 02/02/2011 10:37:14 PM 1411 Views
He's obviously responsible, but it's not a very serious offense. Gher - 02/02/2011 10:46:09 PM 1236 Views
Re: He's obviously responsible, but it's not a very serious offense. DomA - 03/02/2011 03:51:04 PM 1364 Views
Yup... fionwe1987 - 03/02/2011 04:15:23 PM 1276 Views
I put the blame more on Team Jordan. Gher - 03/02/2011 06:52:42 PM 1367 Views
Re: I put the blame more on Team Jordan. DomA - 04/02/2011 01:30:21 AM 1258 Views
I don't think Sanderson is a good writer. I just don't think Jordan was a good writer, either. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/02/2011 02:11:28 AM 636 Views

Sure. Ghavrel - 04/02/2011 07:19:57 AM 1310 Views
Re: I put the blame more on Team Jordan. AGREED! *NM* alanna aes sedai - 06/02/2011 05:24:31 PM 671 Views
Best explanation of the issue thus far. HyogaRott - 03/02/2011 10:50:56 PM 1361 Views
But even then, all he saw was Mat talking/flirting with Tuon. Gher - 02/02/2011 10:37:33 PM 1492 Views
You're probably right. There was a post not long ago about the characters tinkling Deadsy - 02/02/2011 10:40:37 PM 1245 Views
Well someone's gotta be displeased! Gher - 02/02/2011 11:20:53 PM 1491 Views
Here's my question: why are there so many songs about rainbows? *NM* newyorkersedai - 04/02/2011 04:43:02 AM 722 Views
Yep. He could've used them to show their timing Lohikaarme - 07/02/2011 12:21:40 PM 1346 Views
