That's exactly my point.
Brandon made very exciting and complicated story line. And most people immediately started to blame him for their own fallacy.
Basically, there were no messed up scene, it's you who have messed up the storyline in your mind, but was very quick to dump a lot of crap on Brandon.
My not remembering the scene perfectly doesn't detract from my original point nor does it make it invalid. I disagree with the OP and think the timeline and storyline are horribly mixed up between both books. It's awkwardly handled and confusing, especially to the casual reader. If I'm not supposed to blame Brandon for that then whom would you suggest I blame instead? He wrote the books.

How about to blame yourself for a change? For a casual reader, like me, Brandon didn't horribly mixed up anything. I was perfectly able to get the story line straight the first time I read ToM with no problem.
Excluding your faulty example of Perrin, what else exactly was horribly messed up?
/tGS: These are damned good books.

Disagree strongly on the time line issue - TOM showed what a mistake splitting by 'clusters' was IMO

Splitting it this way was the only realistic choice

It will be better than CoT, sure, but still not good enough to appease most fans

Exactly my feeling on TGS, but I do think ToM inferior to it (though still good).

Right, it's good, but could be better (or it could be better, but is still good).

"Reading" TGS &ToM in audio format and just weeks apart made them work better together. *NM*

I agree. Also, chopping up the timelines was the best decision given the circumstances.
