It is what it is darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 30/09/2012 12:52:20 AM
Partially it's an effect of the end of any series of books. Even if RJ had lived to complete his series we would likely be bitching. There will always be fans who don't like the outcome the author has written. Cannoli will spend the next 20 years bitching about Egwene no matter what she does in AMOL ... He hates the character and will find new and inventive ways to vilify her ... Doesn't matter who wrote her last words in the series. I'll never like Cadsuane or be happy that Moiraine came back from the 'Finns so weak in the Power. I hate that Egwene is with Gawyn, or that Min can't channel and will die hundreds of years before Rand, Avi and Elayne ... Many people wanted Verin to live or Galina to die or Siuan and Leane to be Healed to full strength. The list is endless and we all have our things ... Sanderson just gets the double dose because he's not the original author!

If you have to call someone "my friend" three times in a couple of minutes, he isn't. Cannoli - 28/09/2012 11:59:13 AM 5798 Views
John McCain has a similar proclivity. *NM* RandAllThor - 28/09/2012 12:26:29 PM 1173 Views
The only people I've ever heard say "my friend" are foreign street vendors Marshall - 28/09/2012 01:19:00 PM 1146 Views
Potential customer = best kind of friend *NM* Artsapat - 28/09/2012 02:20:29 PM 720 Views
I agree in this particular instance. Nate - 28/09/2012 03:38:15 PM 1480 Views
Maybe they have been Quakers all along? *NM* dadof5 - 28/09/2012 03:39:24 PM 802 Views
Sanderson's handling of character interractions is pathetic.... DomA - 28/09/2012 06:43:48 PM 1349 Views
Now see, here I don't fully agree, or at least think it's a matter of taste. Nate - 28/09/2012 07:21:09 PM 2019 Views
Sorry, that's just not true... fionwe1987 - 28/09/2012 11:33:59 PM 1188 Views
A few things. Nate - 29/09/2012 02:40:47 AM 1436 Views
Great rebuttal! Fionwe got burned! *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:00:41 PM 869 Views

Yes! fionwe1987 - 29/09/2012 02:26:39 AM 1342 Views
This is one of my biggest pet peeves as well Deadsy - 29/09/2012 04:56:53 AM 1394 Views
There are people who say that? Nate - 29/09/2012 05:16:58 AM 1188 Views
I complained about this regarding the Forsaken chapter Sidious - 28/09/2012 07:34:25 PM 1446 Views
I've long since accepted that Sanderson uses inaccurate terms like "powerful" darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:44:11 AM 1444 Views
To be fair, the last Moghedian PoV by RJ might have changed her a bit. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 03:27:31 PM 1166 Views
Which is the question I brought up in another thread darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:29:01 PM 1066 Views
Yes. The last time it happened to me it ended with the taxi driver fined by the NYPD. Tom - 29/09/2012 07:05:26 AM 1154 Views
The burning question to me, after reading all of the comments above, is this... Shannow - 29/09/2012 08:50:50 AM 1376 Views
Piggybacking on someone else's established characters and near-climax-point plot? Cannoli - 29/09/2012 03:04:03 PM 1421 Views
Both of you disgust me Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:13:16 PM 1351 Views
This is not jealousy, it's being upset Marshall - 29/09/2012 07:52:51 PM 1224 Views
They could have hired a ghost writer. They chose not to. *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 09:34:27 PM 9855 Views
Your crappy taste in books means nothing Cannoli - 30/09/2012 09:23:51 PM 1734 Views
When did I ever say Eli Manning wasn't a good QB? Dark Knight - 01/10/2012 03:40:21 PM 1128 Views
To be fair... Sidious - 29/09/2012 04:36:52 PM 1225 Views
True ... He may not be perfect, and he certainly made some strange choices darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:37:29 PM 1132 Views
B-Sand is not a ghost writer Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 06:35:16 PM 2498 Views
Didn't say he should. darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 09:07:45 PM 1789 Views
I mostly agree with this. Nate - 29/09/2012 09:36:38 PM 1411 Views
What is it you want? Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 09:39:36 PM 1385 Views
We want to bitch about an inferior product. Duh. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 10:00:09 PM 2100 Views
Hmm that's true I guess. Sad though *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 10:07:25 PM 568 Views
It is what it is darius_sedai - 30/09/2012 12:52:20 AM 946 Views
Those are not remotely the same thing Cannoli - 30/09/2012 09:14:49 PM 1222 Views
But they are the same in this instance darius_sedai - 30/09/2012 10:01:59 PM 1130 Views
You do know this isn't his series, right? Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:19:00 PM 1669 Views
Do you see us going to Mistborn boards to rip his series? Part of the problem is what you say. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 09:57:54 PM 2056 Views
Apologies for not being clear: I'm only referring to WoT. Haven't read any of his other work... Shannow - 30/09/2012 06:56:08 PM 1399 Views
I'd agree that I like his original works more than his WoT books beetnemesis - 01/10/2012 06:17:33 PM 1275 Views
It's fairly simple.... DomA - 30/09/2012 09:55:52 PM 1380 Views
Thanks for that insightful response... Shannow - 30/09/2012 10:37:27 PM 1098 Views
Try reading something instead of judging. I recommend the Mistborn trilogy *NM* Dark Knight - 01/10/2012 01:14:24 AM 536 Views
Forgotten Realms is big on clever spells and magic systems? Fanatic-Templar - 01/10/2012 05:27:05 AM 1063 Views
It's more... DomA - 01/10/2012 01:05:18 PM 1823 Views
Did you read Way of Kings? VTHokie - 03/10/2012 09:14:43 PM 1334 Views
No, nothing but the prologue DomA - 04/10/2012 02:56:14 AM 1078 Views

I have an acquaintance who uses "my friend" as punctuation of every sentence. Kaldric - 05/10/2012 02:47:40 PM 1673 Views
