Re: The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... Sidious Send a noteboard - 13/07/2010 10:03:14 AM

In fact, BS's answer that there are flashbacks makes is highly likely that we will get a Graendal PoV.


For example, Perrin, but also Lan or Loial.

It's complete nonsense to bring back a character that died in Rand's timeline - which is up to date - with a scene before the death; something like this also never happened before in the series. One could also argue in a similarly absurd way then that we will "likely" get another Semirhage or Elza PoV from before their deaths, just because it would be cool.


The point of a Graendal PoV has little to do with Asmodean, though it could fulfil that role. Graendal's fate is not a certainty, no matter how much you think it is, and a scene would thus put a minor mystery to rest. It's not an essential scene by any means, but it's a possibility, and not a stupid one as you seem to think.

how do you get there from this? darius_sedai - 12/07/2010 05:47:42 PM 956 Views
Right. There could easily be a scene like this: beetnemesis - 12/07/2010 06:22:45 PM 886 Views
Because... Etzel - 12/07/2010 10:40:29 PM 914 Views
You're brilliant, Etzel, but Brandon is NOT robert jordan newyorkersedai - 13/07/2010 01:18:44 AM 860 Views
He said it won't be 100% flashback like book 10 Rurouni_Kenshin - 13/07/2010 05:30:18 AM 769 Views
But obviously not for the timelines, which are up to date. Etzel - 13/07/2010 08:41:37 AM 877 Views
the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM 854 Views

Graendal is part of several plot lines. Aran'gar at the very least is unseen in TGS, but involved darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:40:09 PM 830 Views
No... Etzel - 14/07/2010 08:10:12 AM 763 Views
so it's not possible for anything that has never been done in the series to happen... ok darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:38:08 PM 729 Views
Again, there is no sensible reason for a scene where Graendal is shown again before her death. *NM* Etzel - 14/07/2010 04:47:21 PM 699 Views
sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 04:56:09 PM 909 Views
Again... Etzel - 15/07/2010 08:57:34 AM 668 Views
or it could as easily be a scene from Aran'gar's POV that includes Graendal darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:36:21 PM 828 Views
The point is... Etzel - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM 755 Views
that is 100% your interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:51:49 PM 772 Views
Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation. Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:19:38 PM 708 Views
I'm pointing out that she had more than just Rands plot line darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 03:59:36 PM 682 Views
As far as we know... Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:06:56 PM 736 Views
she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 01:58:36 PM 901 Views
There is nothing to support your view, that Graendal was directly involved in any other plotlines... Etzel - 16/07/2010 02:31:01 PM 660 Views
She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM 795 Views
We will see... *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:36:21 PM 988 Views

give up Eztel...they think they know Asmodens killer...we know they are wrong dacole - 13/07/2010 09:45:15 AM 804 Views
I agree regarding Graendal, but have to disagree concerning Lanfear. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:51:00 AM 947 Views
Re: The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... Sidious - 13/07/2010 10:03:14 AM 835 Views
It's completely unlikely and unnecessary Etzel - 13/07/2010 10:25:36 AM 893 Views
you keep trotting this point out like it matters darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 09:07:36 PM 785 Views
a very irritating habit indeed!! Sidious - 15/07/2010 05:29:19 AM 882 Views
There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos! Etzel - 15/07/2010 09:01:58 AM 706 Views
where do you get this stuff from? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:41:07 PM 921 Views
Eh, no Etzel - 15/07/2010 02:08:56 PM 777 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:56:02 PM 743 Views
Graendal actually tells that she learned interesting things from Aran'gar Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:14:54 PM 867 Views
pure interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:00:31 PM 802 Views
Well, it fits RJ's theme that the bad guys actually aren't that competent. *NM* Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:12:19 PM 864 Views
No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM* darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:27:40 PM 351 Views
Aran'gar just had the luck that Rand wasn't after her Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:34:53 PM 591 Views

And... Etzel - 16/07/2010 11:35:44 AM 787 Views
you continue to ignore that Graendal died about 2 months after she darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 02:06:48 PM 799 Views
Usually the Forsaken meet in neutral TAR... Etzel - 16/07/2010 02:22:34 PM 856 Views
not really darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:58:57 PM 936 Views
Good, then we agree, if you consider it unlikely as well. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:56:50 PM 910 Views
Trust me, Graendal won't be seen; only her name will be mentioned a few times (as BS said). *NM* Etzel - 15/07/2010 09:03:33 AM 794 Views
You should really just write it for BS since you clearly know exactly what's going to happen darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:57:59 PM 787 Views
Ok... Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:17:02 PM 699 Views

Rand used so much baelfire on her that he zapped them all back to the last 3rd Age darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:38:48 PM 920 Views
