How exactly was Faile the cause for Hopper's death? Zeratul Send a noteboard - 19/01/2013 12:31:55 AM
She had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Somehow, I Actually Hate Faile MORE Now Joel - 14/01/2013 12:16:05 PM 3306 Views
Faile made Perrin less interesting Isaac - 14/01/2013 01:15:22 PM 1278 Views
She paralyzed his character development even when Jordan thought she advanced it. Joel - 14/01/2013 02:38:29 PM 1380 Views
I skipped those chapters during my re-read The Doctor - 14/01/2013 10:36:11 PM 1594 Views
I do not blame you, but that practically means skipping TPoD through KoD. Joel - 15/01/2013 06:16:17 AM 1192 Views

You just hit on probably the major structural weakness of the series with respect to characters. Tom - 15/01/2013 02:54:59 AM 1213 Views
I think this is why I still enjoy Rand as a character so much IndigoAjahV2 - 15/01/2013 03:37:52 AM 1163 Views
There were plenty of hard choices, but they might have been handled better. Joel - 15/01/2013 06:58:30 AM 1319 Views
Though I too have wished for them to make really hard choices... Cannoli - 15/01/2013 09:37:34 AM 1277 Views
But they DO make hard choices; they just face relatively few hard consequences. Joel - 15/01/2013 10:08:19 AM 1136 Views
Rand certainly flirted with the moral Event Horizon a few times, so did some of the others Isaac - 15/01/2013 10:33:23 AM 1292 Views
Mostly it's because it's clear in RJ's eyes that doing something like the things you suggest is wron IndigoAjahV2 - 15/01/2013 12:41:03 PM 1197 Views
You obviously have a much lower threshold than I do in defining "hard choices". *NM* Tom - 15/01/2013 03:47:52 PM 619 Views
We are introduced to them as they choose between abandoning home w/ a stranger v. staying to die Joel - 15/01/2013 04:46:02 PM 1172 Views
Joel, I just said I disagreed with you. I didn't want to debate this series for the sake of debate. *NM* Tom - 15/01/2013 05:43:55 PM 596 Views
Also, how is choosing not to die a hard choice? Tom - 15/01/2013 05:46:46 PM 1046 Views
Because they had only a strange witchs word they would die, and leaving w/ her was perilous, too. Joel - 15/01/2013 06:17:16 PM 1052 Views
And a trolloc attack Tom - 16/01/2013 02:28:00 PM 1056 Views
True, but there was considerable debate about who brought whom. Joel - 16/01/2013 04:41:35 PM 1187 Views
Jordan said he put some of himself in all the ta'veren, but its clearly strongest with Perrin. Joel - 15/01/2013 06:27:10 AM 1209 Views
I'm glad you have seen the Truth. Tom - 14/01/2013 01:35:36 PM 1274 Views
It was neck and neck with her and Min for a long while, but Min finally saw past her own nose. Joel - 14/01/2013 02:09:13 PM 1175 Views
I just added a sentence at the end to make the series end properly. Tom - 14/01/2013 10:47:18 PM 1242 Views
Works for me. Joel - 15/01/2013 06:13:16 AM 2182 Views
In all fairness Egwene did in fact pay homage to Bela darius_sedai - 14/01/2013 08:36:40 PM 1124 Views
Bela has been there for Egwene all the time. fionwe1987 - 14/01/2013 10:16:22 PM 1352 Views
Egwene and Bela Aes_Gesserit - 15/01/2013 08:13:17 AM 1090 Views
I thought Noal was riding Bela... *NM* Tom - 14/01/2013 10:47:56 PM 584 Views
I did, too, at first, but "horse"=/="pony." Joel - 15/01/2013 06:08:03 AM 1072 Views
I think she fed her an apple once in TV or somewhere, too, but otherwise she ignored her. Joel - 15/01/2013 06:12:26 AM 1277 Views
Dramatic much? Bella lived a good life in TV and later in Salidar darius_sedai - 20/01/2013 12:54:15 AM 7939 Views
Actually, I never understood why people LOVE that horse so much. She is just a horse! *NM* aragornital - 15/01/2013 07:52:29 AM 647 Views
Pony. She is a pony. A loyal, goodnatured, overperforming and underappreciated pony. Joel - 15/01/2013 08:32:21 AM 1211 Views
honestly a child and a horse and you think the kid should be butchered? darius_sedai - 20/01/2013 12:58:32 AM 1245 Views
The whole series is based upon the love of Bela and Narg and her struggle to come to terms with his MightyYT - 16/01/2013 04:01:59 AM 1044 Views
The real problem echooff - 15/01/2013 11:30:37 AM 1199 Views
Faile will surely domineer someone into pulling Tams carts for him. Joel - 15/01/2013 03:04:35 PM 1101 Views
The women in WoT are monsters Sidious - 15/01/2013 11:59:39 AM 1596 Views
I do not consider most of the others all that bad, just idiosyncratic. Joel - 15/01/2013 03:05:51 PM 1394 Views
Oh...I think we know :-) *NM* echooff - 16/01/2013 04:31:18 PM 673 Views
I try to give them, or rather her, the benefit of a doubt. Joel - 16/01/2013 04:48:22 PM 1051 Views
Re: Tuon Zalvera - 15/01/2013 03:33:34 PM 1337 Views
I had not noticed that before, but you are right. Joel - 15/01/2013 07:45:53 PM 1087 Views
I agree completely... lilltempest - 15/01/2013 05:19:40 PM 1357 Views
Not to argue, but I think RJ created a world where women had the power darius_sedai - 20/01/2013 01:17:11 AM 1202 Views
Agreed ... Nynaeve and Lan are the closest thing to "Healthy" in the series darius_sedai - 20/01/2013 01:09:29 AM 1041 Views
Tell me then... Nargs - 18/01/2013 09:08:08 AM 1113 Views
That's a fallacious question Tom - 18/01/2013 03:21:56 PM 1205 Views
Are you saying... Nargs - 18/01/2013 09:21:34 PM 1100 Views
That is a pathetic answer. Tom - 19/01/2013 04:56:13 AM 1076 Views
You're a pathetic ass Nargs - 19/01/2013 06:48:47 AM 1063 Views
LOL - that's funny, coming from you, one of the most pathetic fanboys around here. *NM* Tom - 19/01/2013 02:32:18 PM 555 Views
Sad for you. *NM* Nargs - 19/01/2013 09:24:59 PM 589 Views
Oh, gosh, this could take a while. Joel - 18/01/2013 05:58:15 PM 1148 Views
How exactly was Faile the cause for Hopper's death? Zeratul - 19/01/2013 12:31:55 AM 1060 Views
Because her kidnapping was the reason Perrin led his hodge podge army to rescue her, and got trapped Joel - 19/01/2013 01:00:26 AM 978 Views
Her kidnapping... Nargs - 19/01/2013 01:32:40 AM 1022 Views
I said outright I do not fault her as a character for that (only Jordan for writing it that way. ) Joel - 19/01/2013 07:35:57 PM 1078 Views
No it wasn't ... The dreamspike plot would have happened even had she not been kidnapped darius_sedai - 20/01/2013 01:24:25 AM 1036 Views
Exactly Zeratul - 20/01/2013 06:59:33 PM 1326 Views
Wow... Nargs - 19/01/2013 01:49:56 AM 1128 Views
Culture is sometimes a reason, but never an excuse. Joel - 19/01/2013 08:04:52 PM 1102 Views
Just off color Nargs - 19/01/2013 10:03:58 PM 1234 Views
