Yep, somewhat Marshall Send a noteboard - 05/10/2009 10:47:07 PM
I wouldn't call all of those "arcs." A mystery about who killed Asmodean has mostly become a joke...something that RJ realized his fans were obsessed over and wanted to treat them to the excruciating wait. Similarly, Moiraine's death isn't an "arc"...it's something that happened, and she'll reappear at a key moment during the Last Battle, I'm sure. Despite her mistakes, Moiraine has dedicated her entire life to fighting the DO, finding Rand, and preparing for the Last Battle, and we can be sure we haven't seen the last of Moiraine.

Demandred, similarly, has been saved for the end. The Forsaken have been picked off one by one, for the most part, with a book or so dedicated to each--TFoH for Asmodean and Lanfear, Crown of Swords for Sammael, etc. Demandred's story hasn't been developing, but our curiosity certainly has.

As for the Perrin and Elayne storyline: I completely agree.

Another I'd like to throw in is the damn Morgase "hiding away" as a maid story arc. Seriously, hurry it up. Siuan and Leanne's similar story went much quicker!

Story arcs that take forever to conclude make *some* parts of the series boring - 05/10/2009 07:55:44 PM 2026 Views
Strange you left out the obvious one - 05/10/2009 08:44:57 PM 1018 Views
Yeah that one! - 05/10/2009 09:03:30 PM 936 Views
I'm still waiting to see what makes Andor so super special - 05/10/2009 10:34:26 PM 845 Views
It's mostly dead weight... - 06/10/2009 10:03:58 AM 865 Views
Perrin IS the worst! - 07/10/2009 03:33:34 AM 751 Views
There are two that were killers to read - 05/10/2009 09:26:35 PM 964 Views
I think... - 05/10/2009 09:30:07 PM 846 Views
Yep, somewhat - 05/10/2009 10:47:07 PM 862 Views
Ugh, Morgase! - 06/10/2009 10:06:37 AM 772 Views
They are the key to the last battle - 06/10/2009 02:48:58 PM 853 Views
Maybe their real role in The Last Battle.... - 10/10/2009 02:42:29 AM 771 Views

Perrin and Faile were definitely a major one - 05/10/2009 11:04:20 PM 869 Views
The best love interest arc by far was Rand & Aviendha - 06/10/2009 01:47:58 AM 875 Views
Yeah. Elayne saw Rand for 15 minutes and was suddenly in love with him - 06/10/2009 05:50:56 AM 937 Views
That's true.... - 07/10/2009 03:36:22 AM 777 Views
Eh, I think it's just because he's had the least interaction with her - 07/10/2009 03:32:33 PM 763 Views
Its still funny - 09/10/2009 05:06:57 PM 865 Views
I'd call it ironic. - 10/10/2009 02:43:41 AM 760 Views
Totally agree. I thought this was weak writing. *NM* - 06/10/2009 12:30:03 PM 337 Views
I completely agree. - 07/10/2009 06:49:27 PM 846 Views
Nice of RJ to give us the option though - 07/10/2009 07:48:36 PM 767 Views
Most of those arn't story arcs... - 06/10/2009 06:37:08 AM 840 Views
