Re: I remember some of your theory ... Shishka Send a noteboard - 05/02/2010 01:37:48 PM
An argument can be made that RJ disliked to admit he goofed. Witness that awkward mistake he made about who was at the Cleansing.


Agreed.

Of course I realize that if the quote you mention is one of those instances, that makes my theory even weaker. To be truthful, I doubt that it will ever be proved or disproved.


My feeling on that is ... if there is no direct evidence that Avi's Gateways open into the past or future by the end of the story (i.e. it's not used as a plot device in the last 2 books), then the theory is essentially disproven. RJ wouldn't have deliberately (but obliquely) introduced the idea in FoH & PoD, and then not actually use is in a straightforward manner later, IMO. So if it's not used in a straightforward manner later, then I'll just assume the FoH scene was an unacknowledged error, and the PoD scene was just sloppy/misleading writing.

Unfortunately my crystal ball is in severe need of re-calibration.


So is mine!

Slayer would just use TAR to appear at a certain location in the Real World to surprise Asmo... Etzel - 06/02/2010 08:59:27 AM 652 Views

I thought she looked like some space princess from a shi..bad sci-fi book *NM* Lordling - 04/02/2010 07:32:42 PM 322 Views
Better than most of WOT's cover art. Yondaime - 04/02/2010 07:36:30 PM 801 Views
Well obviously! *NM* Lordling - 05/02/2010 04:48:38 PM 358 Views

I like the color, but she looks like a gypsy. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/02/2010 08:29:12 PM 639 Views
Yeah, I agree, this comment was rather tongue-in-cheek. *NM* Etzel - 04/02/2010 08:39:32 PM 397 Views

I love that episode. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/02/2010 10:01:55 PM 397 Views
I get a little emotional watching that episode. *NM* Jeordam - 04/02/2010 11:06:04 PM 426 Views
I must admit, so do I. *NM* Shishka - 04/02/2010 11:18:24 PM 396 Views
That reminds me... Etzel - 04/02/2010 09:29:54 PM 747 Views
It was based on Aviendha's gateway, I think. Seanchan timezones were involved, IIRC. *NM* fionwe1987 - 04/02/2010 09:37:39 PM 387 Views
Yeah, something with Aviendha's gateway. *NM* Etzel - 04/02/2010 09:41:09 PM 363 Views

Wow, a cover art plot flaw Lord Haart - 04/02/2010 10:05:28 PM 727 Views
Another plot flaw: Moiraine doesn't wear gypsy jewelry or cheap girdles around her waist. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/02/2010 10:33:48 PM 735 Views
