1. Is it just me or are the Aes Sedai nuts? Really they contemplated failing Nyneave. The penalty for failing Aes Sedai testing is being put out of the Tower. Nyneave has healed being gentled, healed the taint madness, combated Moghedian 3 times and captured her, help find the Bowl of Winds and right the weather, helped cleanse the taint, rescue the Panarch, and is the most powerful channeler the Tower has had in a couple of thousand years and they contemplated failing her. With Tarmon Gaidon just around the corner. Are they nuts?
Yes. I still wish Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve went off and started their own Aes Sedai organization. It would have been even better if the Sisters of the White Tower came to see their organization as being truer to the title and defected. I know that we are supposed to value the White Tower but we are talking about changing an institution that has been on the decline for thousands of years. Best to put it out of its misery and reform it.
2. Is it just me or is Rubinde nuts? At Nyneave testing she question whether Nyneave would be at Shayol Ghul. Who was going to stop Nyneave. If Nyneave failed the test Nyneave would have been put out of the Tower so the Aes Sedai have no right to stop her. If Nyneave passes the test which Aes Sedai can stop her. Maybe Egwene or Suana would have the authority but certainly not Rubinde.
Yes, but to be fair to Rubinde, saying your going to Shayol Ghul regardless of whether other Sisters agree does sound insane. The Dark One is strongest there, channeling the One Power is extremely dangerous due to its' influence and you need to pass through hundreds of miles of Shadowspawn territory to reach it through hostile terrain. Also, it's possible to accomplish this task from any location in the world - the Bore affects all reality, and is not actually physically centered in any one place.
3. Is it just me or does Nyneave have more Moments of Awesomeness than anybody. Both large moments and small moments. Some of her Large Moments of Awesomeness: Fighting Moghedian 3 times. The third time Nyneave conquored her fear to capture Moghedian. Fighting Rahvin even though Rahvin is much more powerful and much more knowledgable than Nyneave. The whole Bowl of Winds/Fix the weather thing, in her spare time she helped cleanse the source, the heal gentling thing, heal the taint madness thing. Some of her small Moments of Awesome: Saving the young boy in Bandar Eban. What other character in the whole series took the time to save a nameless child. Her standing up to the Aes Sedai during her testing. Her decision to take the adam off of Alivia.
Yes, she does. It's her personality in between that can be irksome.
4. Is it just me or when she feels Lan in danger in Tarwins Gap she is absolutely going to go nuts. There will not be a calm reasoned conversation to get Rand and Egwene to send help. She will instantly demand help and then go off to help Lan. I can see her now in the middle of Tarwins Gap balefiring Trollocs back to the Age of Legends.
Somehow, I think that when she gets there, Lan will already have received his death wound. There will be an immense battle raging around him, so I don't know what she could do to help him without a sa'angreal.
