As well as missed opportunities. RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 07/01/2010 09:27:56 PM
I would have loved to see a little bit of a broader vision from RJ in this respect.

It would have been more powerful with his writing style being very warm, familiar and quaint in many ways to have each character trying to rally support or exploring different areas of the world, but with so many of them being so similar, from the same part of the world and in similar mindsets, and weight down with all this prophetic expectation...it's no wonder that more interest is generated by a three page Forsaken tea party then wondering how the Four-Five book long odyssey of "Egwene becomes the real Amyrlin" can sometimes be met with ideas/theories about the particulars but no excitement about the actual substance (ie: I'm an Egwene fan, but I think I heard a collective sigh of relief from all the fans around the world by the end of TGS.)

yes, the Amyrlin story line could have been wrapped up much earlier! darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 09:55:30 PM 1032 Views
Yeah, I really wish his vision had been pushed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 10:16:15 PM 846 Views

Thanks for pointing to that Taim incident... its another proof... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 04:15:33 PM 999 Views
I always like to think that Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha Linked can match Rand. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 05:26:35 PM 900 Views
Those three... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 05:35:24 PM 860 Views

it's about EFFECTIVE strength Fionwe (jk) darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 10:05:48 PM 806 Views
I don't think they were that bad back then, but still... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 10:11:46 PM 903 Views
and he's gone out of his way IMO to show that it's a stupid darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 10:41:03 PM 974 Views
Re: I don't think they were that bad back then, but still... Sidious - 08/01/2010 11:38:48 AM 827 Views
I'd actually go with Elayne in matters of battle. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 02:47:34 PM 929 Views
Wow, I wasn't expecting that Sidious - 08/01/2010 02:55:53 PM 1012 Views
I'm not too impressed with the Forsaken so far. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 03:30:43 PM 819 Views
I'm tempted to go with Taim too, but... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 04:25:52 PM 891 Views
If Elayne had wanted Taim dead, he and his minions would have been dead darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 05:41:29 PM 940 Views
The reverse would be true too, though... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 05:50:02 PM 824 Views
But she just heard Taim say to basically stand down darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 06:05:43 PM 909 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 08:53:11 PM 1090 Views
Ah but Elayne also knew they knew Rand wouldn't allow it darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 10:40:45 PM 939 Views
That whole lack of communication thing made my eye twitch. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 11:00:25 PM 958 Views

Re: Is Rand logical when he estimates female danger? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 05:13:48 PM 828 Views
I think he is illogical towards all danger, regardless of gender. amirebram - 07/01/2010 06:39:37 PM 839 Views
Do fat kids run marathons? No. And no Rand isn't logical when he estimates female danger. *NM* callandor1000 - 07/01/2010 06:44:08 PM 544 Views
It's all kind of irrelevant. Cannoli - 08/01/2010 11:28:46 PM 1122 Views
