Re: my gut says it's not Talmanes, because putting his death as the answer to a cliffhanger - Edit 1

seems kind of cheap. Does that make any sense or am I just trying to make myself feel better? Doing a character's death that way, when people sort of care about him, is kinda like punching us in the face. If it's a lesser character then it's not a big deal. I'm not actually saying it would make me mad, it just seems more like something to make us worried that it's Olver or Talmanes, but it won't end up being either of them.
You are probably right. And it's probably too much to hope that Joline was in there getting ready to surprise Mat! Of course that makes me wonder if Teslyn will get killed by the Gholam now ... Shebis right there in the line of fire. BOO if that's the case ... She's by far my favorite of Mat's 3 AS!
