So...what was this "heartbreaking scene" with Olver in ToM?

I read the sappy reviews that didn't even attempt to be critical and remember that one of them (Dragonmount, I believe), said there was a "heartbreaking scene" with Olver.
It led me to believe (well, let me be honest: it led me to HOPE) that Olver would be disemboweled by the gholam in such a way that he slowly died, and tell everyone how sorry he was to have failed them, and how he would missthe Scarecrow Mat most of all.
I didn't see anything from Olver that I even remotely cared about. Maybe the little shit will get balefired if we're lucky.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

There's really absolutely no point to his character if he isn't Gaidal Cain.

I can deal with the "spoiled" part (more or less) but it sure doesn't make him sympathetic. *NM*

I generally liked ToM, but the Olver PoV did make me cringe a bit. *NM*
