I think you once again overestimate my appreciation of the series. Tom Send a noteboard - 25/09/2012 02:33:34 PM
I'm expecting the whole thing to be underwhelming. It just sounded like there might be an actual story to tell after all. Considering that most of the other prologue sections were totally slow and boring (Egeanin looking for and finding Nynaeve, for example), at least that plotline had something happen.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

You left out that Taim and Demandred have met before. Narg - 19/09/2012 06:19:01 PM 1450 Views
Part of me keeps screaming Logain, though that can't be right... Cannoli - 20/09/2012 12:14:00 PM 1412 Views
I thought of Logain as well... Narg - 20/09/2012 06:10:58 PM 1279 Views
We have our answer as to why Cyndane and Moiraine are reduced in power. Nargs - 20/09/2012 05:14:01 AM 1332 Views
It was spelled out before. Terez - 20/09/2012 05:25:05 AM 1224 Views
And some of us guessed that's what happened, we just didn't have evidence. *NM* Cannoli - 20/09/2012 12:04:18 PM 696 Views

I'm disappointed after waiting a week for a new post in the Forsaken thread, it's about Talmanes! Shannow - 02/10/2012 09:46:48 PM 1175 Views

I think we saw them during the attack on Maradon. The Portal Stone attack seems less likely darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 11:41:42 PM 1065 Views
Just one comment.. Shannow - 23/09/2012 11:53:09 PM 1769 Views
If I had to take a guess right now I'd say he has been setting up various Shadow armies thought the darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 09:30:34 PM 1090 Views
I think at the very least he has recreated the One-and-Eighty male channelers from the AOL... Shannow - 23/09/2012 09:34:56 PM 1183 Views
As I said he will almost certainly have Channelers darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 09:47:53 PM 1338 Views
All he needed to do was train 10 guys personally.. Shannow - 23/09/2012 09:51:46 PM 995 Views
It took Taim nearly a year to train a dozen men to a place where they could teach darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 10:00:40 PM 962 Views
The world is 25,000 miles by 25,000 miles in size... Shannow - 23/09/2012 10:15:22 PM 1071 Views
That is just far fetched ... I think I would laugh out loud if that is the case darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 10:43:37 PM 1071 Views
Direct quote from Demandred refutes this... Shannow - 23/09/2012 10:49:10 PM 1051 Views
