Re: In that case, Rand, Mat, Perrin... all of them are superfluous. NaClH2O Send a noteboard - 05/09/2009 04:57:44 PM
You know why? Because none of them would have been doing any of their world-saving deeds if Moiraine hadn't asked them to leave the Two Rivers and then convinced them they did have a role to play.

And Moiraine wouldn't have done that but for Gitara, who wouldn't have been able to do anything without the Pattern giving her a foretelling. So everyone is superfluous except the Pattern!

But but you don't understand! Only AS can be superfluous! Rand Perrin and Mat are HEROS! (well maybe not Perrin because he spent too long chasing after that stupid woman Faile)

You know... it feels like the Aes Sedai are pretty superflouous beetnemesis - 02/09/2009 09:48:19 PM 1179 Views
Y'know, the paralells betwen the Aes Sedai in the White Tower... vandevere - 02/09/2009 10:46:29 PM 766 Views
Well said. Hadn't really thought of it that way before *NM* Bryce - 03/09/2009 12:01:30 AM 483 Views
That is the inspiration for the Aes Sedai that RJ used - I can't find the article, though. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/09/2009 02:39:14 PM 711 Views
When I was reading this I was thinking of the paralells between the white tower and Tashmere - 03/09/2009 02:47:33 AM 915 Views

Re: Really? Corwin - 03/09/2009 06:03:13 AM 682 Views
So lets add a few more NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 11:42:48 AM 684 Views
most of these are accounted for above ranagrande - 03/09/2009 02:18:01 PM 757 Views
Just because we don't know all their names, doesn't mean their effectiveness on the Pattern was less RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/09/2009 03:19:41 PM 720 Views
But who did the work? NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 05:37:00 PM 609 Views
While these are good, none of it is because of the White Tower beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:43:56 PM 632 Views
So if Elaida didn't order it, it doesn't count? NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 07:29:20 PM 618 Views
Actually I think that's his point ranagrande - 04/09/2009 01:40:37 PM 701 Views

Only one point because obviously your mind is made up. NaClH2O - 05/09/2009 06:13:23 AM 670 Views
well, yeah ranagrande - 05/09/2009 02:33:51 PM 739 Views
In that case, Rand, Mat, Perrin... all of them are superfluous. fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 03:03:07 PM 610 Views

No, fionwe1987 is absolutely right! ranagrande - 05/09/2009 05:13:39 PM 565 Views
I'm glad the real world disagrees with you NaClH2O - 05/09/2009 05:05:50 PM 608 Views
I'm not convinced that it does ranagrande - 05/09/2009 05:44:10 PM 709 Views

I was talking about the WT specifically, and only during recent years. It's Gotta be the Shadow, beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:39:11 PM 609 Views
So what you are really saying is that if you ignore over 2/3rds of the AS the rest aren't doing much NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 06:07:23 PM 554 Views
I'm talking about the organization as a whole beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 10:07:37 PM 624 Views
No you are talking about Elaida NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 10:32:59 PM 547 Views
You just made our point... fionwe1987 - 04/09/2009 12:49:44 AM 643 Views
Well, because most of her actions infringe on that "bubble" beetnemesis - 04/09/2009 09:00:52 PM 549 Views
Not at all... fionwe1987 - 04/09/2009 09:23:09 PM 658 Views

To a certain extent ajsr1982 - 03/09/2009 11:33:30 AM 792 Views
Definitely. And Egwene is in denial. beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:53:14 PM 634 Views
