"Seemingly young girl"? Is she actually old or something? Maybe she's not a girl? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 19/03/2012 01:39:12 AM

1. Rand's transformation
This proved that Rand would not turn to evil, arguably the DO and Ishamael's biggest goal since the beginning of the series.

2. Cleansing of saidin
The DO's indisputably worst atrocity that led to the destruction of the 2nd Age, reversed in a few hours.

3. Demise of Semirhage and Mesaana
These two events convinced normal people that they too could battle the Shadow. It was well known that Rand had potentially killed the generals of the Shadow, and there were rumours about Moiraine, but the capture and humiliation of Semirhage, and the defeat of Mesaana by a seemingly young girl allowed people to believe that the highest levels of the Shadow are no more than people and can be defeated by people with a goal.


Did it convince YOU? Because that would seem to be completely at odds with your positions on a fuckton of discussions on this topic. Also kind of ironic given our usual places on the Egwene debates, you would finally come around to the notion that the Forsaken are not particularly special through the argument "If Egwene can beat them, ANYONE can."

This is what I love about these ending books - vindication after vindication! Being Cannoli kicks ASS! You guys should have all tried it a long time ago.

I disagree on number three don't think it's broad enough darius_sedai - 17/03/2012 02:53:08 PM 944 Views
I wonder if it was advertised though? Sidious - 17/03/2012 04:25:23 PM 1035 Views
I very much doubt it darius_sedai - 17/03/2012 04:48:56 PM 957 Views

It's funny because I don't think the Forsaken have proven particularly effective either darius_sedai - 17/03/2012 07:47:58 PM 952 Views
I think they've been pretty effective Sidious - 19/03/2012 10:46:11 AM 932 Views
Yet they have done very little to move the grand plan forward darius_sedai - 19/03/2012 11:51:59 PM 944 Views
What plan? Sidious - 20/03/2012 08:18:40 AM 1133 Views
I disagree ... The DO seems to have a plan and Moridin showed us he is following a prophesy darius_sedai - 20/03/2012 01:05:40 PM 1032 Views
Up until the very end of TGS, wasn't the plan to turn Rand/make him do the DO's job for him? IndigoAjah - 29/04/2012 07:46:04 PM 1042 Views
That's what I was saying ... Or at least part of it darius_sedai - 30/04/2012 12:45:24 AM 1075 Views

I always thought of the victory at the Eye as the Lights first big win in the series darius_sedai - 17/03/2012 07:27:12 PM 1008 Views

Oh, I'd probably die. That's not the important thing. Cannoli - 20/03/2012 03:08:37 AM 1010 Views
