Couple of flaws here darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 31/12/2010 06:54:13 PM

It was really odd that Rand couldn't get Tuon to join him despite his ta'veren powers. That implies that the Pattern wants them to be separate.

I don't think that the Seanchan will join Rand before TG, especially considering they're going for another attack on the WT.

Its possible that all of humanity are annihilated at TG leaving the Seanchan to carry on civilization. It sucks if that's the case but its not illogical.

One of my big regrets is that Rand didn't destroy the Seanchan in TGS. Perhaps we don't know the full picture yet, but they are an extreme irritation and distraction from the Last Battle.


Tuon was not supposed to join Dark Rand... Enlightened Rand could be a whole other thing... Not to mention Mat and Perrin being with him for the first time sine TSR. If they all 3 want a course of actin there is no way anyone resists. Which is what I think will happen at Merilor.

Also we know from Avi's vision that "The far ones" are still out there and are most likely the Sharans so the Seanchan are not the only remnant.

Will be interesting to see what happens with a second WT attack now that TG is at hand. Egeanin may play a role here and will have to answer to Nynaeve and Elayne for her role in not destroying the male a'dam.

And yet, the only places of relative peace and shelter right now are Seanchan controlled lands. - 29/12/2010 03:21:37 AM 1648 Views

Those who would give up permanent liberty in exchange for temporary security, deserve neither.. - 29/12/2010 10:27:35 AM 1437 Views
Says the person defending monarchies and oligarchies, some of them quite brutal. - 29/12/2010 02:12:56 PM 1411 Views
LoL. What is this "POV trap" that people refer to so often to make a point? - 29/12/2010 10:00:11 PM 1613 Views

Don't blame the Seanchan, The Aiel made an excuse to start a war. - 08/01/2011 09:20:36 AM 1739 Views

They are pretty close to evil. Slavery being the big thing, but the crushing social scale is far - 31/12/2010 06:45:59 PM 1259 Views
The Aiel sold slaves to Shara, does that make them evil? No society in Randland is without flaws. - 07/01/2011 05:10:32 AM 1547 Views
you are missing my point - 07/01/2011 11:31:11 PM 1410 Views
We haven't had a POV from a NON-high-ranking Seanchan - 08/01/2011 03:13:26 AM 24911 Views
As to Bethamin ... - 20/01/2011 04:46:36 PM 1374 Views

That's funny, I'd choose modern day China in a second. - 09/01/2011 06:37:24 AM 1287 Views
Hong Kong is not an accurate representation of the rest of Modern China - 20/01/2011 04:50:20 PM 1272 Views

well there is also the fact that Hong Kong has different "rules" than even other major - 21/01/2011 05:38:46 PM 1336 Views

It's the comparative to the Seanchan empire I'm really getting at here, not saying China isn't - 21/01/2011 05:43:56 PM 1381 Views
I don't even know why China was brought up in the first place ~shrugs~ - 22/01/2011 10:04:59 AM 1232 Views
I totally agree with your last point, which is why I think RJ set them up to be the "Evil Empire" - 22/01/2011 06:12:46 PM 1313 Views
They're not entirely evil though, and RJ has written them that way - 22/01/2011 08:02:22 PM 1287 Views
not so much - 22/01/2011 09:54:38 PM 1270 Views
Your example is absurd. - 22/01/2011 10:53:06 PM 1203 Views

You are right, here is a better analogy - 03/01/2011 06:23:16 PM 1277 Views
Even Hitler didn't think Jews could kill people with their minds - 03/01/2011 07:22:09 PM 1340 Views
It depends on Rand's sperm I guess - 28/12/2010 08:27:59 PM 1370 Views
