Yep. I know what you mean, though it's hard to exactly quantify. muppet Send a noteboard - 31/01/2013 04:49:12 PM
I don't know quite how to describe it exactly, but I got the same feeling when I watched the show big bang theory, which I hate. And I'm not saying that there aren't funny things on the internet by any means. I'm talking about the memes that are regurgitated ad nauseum.

It's this generic sort of pandering to nerd like taste. It attempts to be funny, but it really isn't. The conversations between pevara and anrol read like a lame attempt at clever quips with a dry sense of humour.


I'm glad I'm not the only one that got the sense he was pandering to his reddit fanbase way too much in AMoL.

So, am I the only one who kind of liked the whole Androl/Pevara plot? beetnemesis - 31/01/2013 02:30:15 PM 2762 Views
It was extremely irritating... Shannow - 31/01/2013 02:34:32 PM 1828 Views

It felt like a plot tacked on as a vanity by Sanderson Joar Nessosin - 31/01/2013 02:49:09 PM 1613 Views

I kind of always thought RJ intended the minor characters to be bland darius_sedai - 03/02/2013 12:00:33 AM 1496 Views
I'd say more like Mistborn than Harry Potter *NM* beetnemesis - 01/02/2013 02:53:30 PM 776 Views
I feel the same about Mat's luck powers. You talk about plot armor, his is a plot bulldozer. Bookwyrm - 01/02/2013 12:53:58 AM 1512 Views
You're not the only one who liked it. I thought the mind meld was cool. *NM* Evil_Monkey - 31/01/2013 02:39:48 PM 1148 Views
No I loved it too. *NM* Dreadlord - 31/01/2013 02:43:31 PM 758 Views
I liked it. Most of the whining about is hilarious. Zeratul - 31/01/2013 03:01:10 PM 1569 Views
I hated it because it reeked of sanderson pandering to "internet humour" for lack of a better term. ImmanuelXavier - 31/01/2013 04:47:54 PM 1547 Views

I could really use an example here beetnemesis - 01/02/2013 02:56:50 PM 1481 Views
I enjoyed it Ryan - 31/01/2013 04:37:42 PM 1389 Views
It wasn't bad. However, it took away time from characters that readers were more invested in. *NM* Tom - 31/01/2013 04:52:25 PM 784 Views
Yeah, that's a legitimate complaint. *NM* beetnemesis - 01/02/2013 02:57:12 PM 766 Views
It was a fairly bad execution of some good ideas DomA - 31/01/2013 05:01:59 PM 2059 Views
That one line characterizes the last two books of WoT generally. *NM* Tom - 31/01/2013 08:52:06 PM 793 Views
He probably didn't have enough time to learn the characters completely Voscaia Sedai - 01/02/2013 01:45:11 PM 1529 Views

Well said... I would have waited for a better end product *NM* darius_sedai - 02/02/2013 05:50:16 PM 769 Views
I 100% agree with everything you said here! *NM* darius_sedai - 01/02/2013 02:16:56 PM 759 Views
Pretty much. But I think significant blame should be laid at Jordan's feet for his abysmal pacing. Ghavrel - 02/02/2013 10:48:06 AM 1573 Views
Yeah, yeah.. it's the f*cking silk washing's scene's fault DomA - 02/02/2013 05:59:30 PM 1847 Views
Damn you are on a roll ... Nicely said. *NM* darius_sedai - 03/02/2013 12:46:57 AM 854 Views
Its true, but RJ should get some blame Sidious - 05/02/2013 03:56:20 PM 1571 Views
Certainly RJ deserves some of the blame. But pacing issues were not the only issue with AMOL darius_sedai - 10/02/2013 02:45:02 PM 1491 Views
i enjoyed this subplot tacotime20 - 05/02/2013 05:41:23 PM 1814 Views
Not the only one..I really enjoyed reading their story. *NM* Simon - 01/02/2013 02:05:21 PM 813 Views
It was my favourite subplot *NM* Sidious - 01/02/2013 02:17:26 PM 1063 Views
I liked it more than reading about Perrin. And seeing Mat butchered even further. *NM* Deadsy - 03/02/2013 02:28:42 AM 895 Views
I really liked this plot-line! *NM* aragornital - 03/02/2013 07:23:48 AM 736 Views
I liked it, but that's because... orius - 10/02/2013 09:14:44 AM 1683 Views
