How so? What does he do that is detrimentally immature? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 01/11/2009 08:05:07 AM
Mat is in the position he is in because he repeatedly steps up and takes on his own shoulders the responsibility for saving other people from their own dangers. He not only fulfills all of his responsibilities, he takes care of others as well. What, exactly is immature about that? What should he have done instead? For that matter, what does he get out of any of this for himself? He is far and away the most altruistic of the main secondary characters.

Well Brandon Sanderson has officially killed off the last volume of the Epic Saga of the Chosen One. Cannoli - 30/10/2009 02:36:19 AM 2660 Views
Life in unfair, just let Egwene have it already. redhand - 30/10/2009 03:11:04 AM 1031 Views
I skimmed cannoli's predictable rant. I disagree. I LOVED EVERY CHAPTER! Bookwyrm - 30/10/2009 03:29:24 AM 999 Views
Agreed! *NM* Mats imaginary friend - 30/10/2009 03:47:52 AM 598 Views
I liked her chapters. Mainly because they gave her something to do. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 30/10/2009 09:43:58 PM 907 Views

Ditto. Thought he was a breath of fresh air to the series. Asha'man - 30/10/2009 03:27:43 PM 903 Views
If renewal means someone grossly unfamiliar with the series, sure. Cannoli - 30/10/2009 06:26:19 PM 1445 Views

Actually, Elaida WILL reveal Traveling. We've seen countless times AS broken easily by the Seanchan. *NM* Bookwyrm - 30/10/2009 05:28:06 PM 524 Views
More than likely, but if anyone could avoid giving it up it would be stubborn, self rightous Elaida. Seriana Sedai - 30/10/2009 09:20:31 PM 754 Views

Tar Valon is a nation Sidious - 31/10/2009 09:20:43 AM 958 Views

The "Elaida's election was illegal because of Black Ajah Sitters" is really an absurd argument Legolas - 01/11/2009 12:06:32 AM 1066 Views
It wasn't absurd. Just clever... fionwe1987 - 01/11/2009 03:33:22 AM 1011 Views
I wasn't saying the rebels had no cause for rebellion. Just that the election *was* legal. Legolas - 01/11/2009 10:38:59 AM 1016 Views
Hmm..... Sidious - 06/11/2009 04:18:14 PM 851 Views
I take it she'll carefully avoid bringing up the war vote, then. *NM* Legolas - 08/11/2009 12:47:21 AM 410 Views
