The Choedan Kal may not be able to defeat the DO, but it can still thwart him severely to the point that he has no chance against the Light.
Let's not forget that the Choedan Kal undid one of the Shadow's greatest achievements, namely the taint on saidin. Rand may not be able to kill Shai'tan with the Access Key but he could still annihilate the entire Blight and render the Shadow defenseless.
It's much more likely that SH can't interact with ter'angreal due to his limitations.

I don't think that Semirhage was sacrificed

I disagree about the TP aspect

It's an interesting theory in either direction

I don't know if Semirhage was sacrificed or not. Either way the Semirhage quote set up tGS 6 books

I'd say that there was a pre-meditated plan or backup plan to sacrifice Semirhage

I think SH simply didn't care about the CK access key
26/07/2010 09:17:11 AM

Moridin and SH knew that the CK could never defeat the dark one so they were happy to leave it

Unlikely, and stupid if true

That wasn't the Choedan Kal, that was Shadar Logoth.

I fail to see the relevance. *NM*
27/07/2010 02:06:27 AM

the relevance is that it was impossible without the CK

??? The CK in the hands of a madman is exactly what the Dark One needs to destroy the pattern

So why not give it to Moridin then?

If their plan of taking Rand to Shayol Ghul suceeded then the CK was no longer needed

Could be simple. How do you find an object that "lies hidden"?

It could be, but I would still think they would have noticed the CK sitting next to the male a'dam

Sorry I missed them. I would have been happy enough to comment there.

I don't believe in foreshadowing that you can figure out from the actual plot.
