I see your logic trail, I just don't think Min would have told something like that to Moiraine darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 20/09/2010 09:46:01 PM
Min actually states that the only viewing she ever got wrong was that Rand could not succeed without a woman dead and gone. IIRC she never once thinks about Thom and Moiraine.


Thom and Moiraine getting together is something that is alluded to and hinted at, but never spoken plainly. So, no, you wouldn't recall Min outright saying that the vision that she got wrong was the Thom and Moiraine one. It's one of those things you have to figure out yourself from the clues provided. The Wheel of Time series has a lot of prophecies and visions like that.

When Min is thinking about how Rand needs "a woman dead and gone" and that Min got a viewing wrong, in the latter statement she is actually referring to the fact that Moiraine "died" before her and Thom hooked up. Again, you're just going to have to trust me (and Cannoli) on this one. All the pieces of the puzzle are there, but the reader isn't being slapped in the face with complete disclosure.


She's always been very reluctant to tell people about her visions. Especially ones like that ... look how long it took her to admit to even Elayne and Aviendha about her visions of them and Rand! She doesn't even like Moiraine!

She knew he'd survive because Min told Moiraine they end up together, and they weren't a couple yet. - 18/09/2010 12:56:09 AM 732 Views
Can that really be right? - 18/09/2010 06:44:40 PM 879 Views
That is her "thimble of hope" that she mentions twice *NM* - 18/09/2010 07:41:23 PM 340 Views

She needs to have known that she would see Thom again - 18/09/2010 08:25:37 PM 700 Views

It doesn't change your point, but I know she hadn't entered the doorway yet. It was in this chapter - 18/09/2010 11:58:53 PM 617 Views
I'll take your word for it - 19/09/2010 06:10:43 AM 660 Views
You're misinterpreting which viewing is the one which Min believes turned out wrong. - 19/09/2010 03:33:04 AM 602 Views
???? - 19/09/2010 06:08:11 AM 735 Views
Wrong, she never specifies WHICH viewing was the wrong one. - 19/09/2010 07:28:21 AM 854 Views
It's something that you have to work out for yourself, it's not thrown in your face. - 19/09/2010 06:35:43 PM 637 Views

What on earth gave you that idea? Min has always liked Moiraine. - 20/09/2010 09:59:09 PM 613 Views
She doesn't have any reason to think that's wrong yet, though. - 20/09/2010 06:02:37 PM 777 Views
I'm going to make one last attempt before giving up - 20/09/2010 10:03:54 PM 689 Views
Yes, you're right - 21/09/2010 12:20:47 AM 599 Views
another interpretation (albeit, irrelevant to this discussion ) - 21/09/2010 04:55:30 AM 726 Views
If that fulfilled the viewing Min would never have said - 21/09/2010 05:07:34 AM 632 Views
