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

AMOL Prologue : Analysis of Forsaken section *major spoilers* Sidious - 19/09/2012 05:47:21 PM 3023 Views
You left out that Taim and Demandred have met before. Narg - 19/09/2012 06:19:01 PM 1266 Views
Part of me keeps screaming Logain, though that can't be right... Cannoli - 20/09/2012 12:14:00 PM 1219 Views
I thought of Logain as well... Narg - 20/09/2012 06:10:58 PM 1083 Views
We have our answer as to why Cyndane and Moiraine are reduced in power. Nargs - 20/09/2012 05:14:01 AM 1159 Views
It was spelled out before. Terez - 20/09/2012 05:25:05 AM 1043 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 613 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 1008 Views
Two interesting Forsaken issues you haven't raised DomA - 22/09/2012 06:21:34 PM 1226 Views

So based on this new info, what is Demandred's big game? Shara or Isle of Madmen back on the table? Shannow - 23/09/2012 08:01:03 PM 969 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 867 Views
Just one comment.. Shannow - 23/09/2012 11:53:09 PM 1586 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 929 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 1015 Views
As I said he will almost certainly have Channelers darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 09:47:53 PM 1147 Views
All he needed to do was train 10 guys personally.. Shannow - 23/09/2012 09:51:46 PM 824 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 786 Views
The world is 25,000 miles by 25,000 miles in size... Shannow - 23/09/2012 10:15:22 PM 882 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 895 Views
Direct quote from Demandred refutes this... Shannow - 23/09/2012 10:49:10 PM 862 Views

Graendal almost has to be Stronger than Nynaeve darius_sedai - 26/09/2012 05:57:35 PM 961 Views

Possible, but I find it unlikely darius_sedai - 27/09/2012 06:16:56 AM 770 Views
The reason I think that... fionwe1987 - 27/09/2012 06:25:48 AM 800 Views
I always assumed Nynaeve at the top was a list he later revised as he decided to bring in darius_sedai - 27/09/2012 06:39:35 AM 866 Views
Of course that's the correct answer, yes. Shannow - 27/09/2012 08:12:45 AM 944 Views
