I remember being blindsided by "The Talk" in tSR beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 12/05/2011 05:04:08 PM
Not because of the oft-discussed arrogance and presumption of Egwene (and to a lesser extent Elayne, though we know from her POV that she didn't see it as cold blooded and mercenary as Eggy did).


I was blindsided because, in all honesty, I hadn't considered them "together" since... hell, since mid-EotW, when Egwene started asking Perrin to dance with her. Additionally, in EotW Rand met quite a few interested ladies (Elayne, Else Grinwell, Min to a lesser extent) and while he kept going "Ahhhh what about Egwene!? Man I'm so confused I wish I understood women like Mat and Perrin" it was pretty obvious, from a meta-perspective, that those two weren't destined to be together.


So it was weird when Egwene suddenly popped up and said "Sorry Rand, we can't be together." I was so busy going "yes, obviously, we know, lets learn about Dreamwalking now, ok?"
I amuse myself.

There's fifty feet of crap between rock bottom and your post... *NM* - 28/04/2011 07:40:04 AM 474 Views
Almost three days since the last post...at least I'm trying. - 28/04/2011 12:17:59 PM 943 Views
Sorry about that... - 28/04/2011 10:58:50 PM 1004 Views
Ah, its always good to see a good Egwene rant. Bravo! NM *NM* - 28/04/2011 01:58:46 PM 712 Views
Great work, Cannoli - 28/04/2011 02:09:28 PM 956 Views
Regarding the mother's permission.... - 28/04/2011 07:26:29 PM 1022 Views
while i agree with you on most of this - 28/04/2011 04:53:06 PM 1086 Views
hmpf, i post a good point and nothing - 28/04/2011 11:09:53 PM 864 Views
Everybody agrees with you, that's why there were no replies *NM* - 28/04/2011 11:29:13 PM 462 Views

In regards to the letters... - 28/04/2011 05:28:13 PM 1132 Views
But Gawyn was not Egwene's subject - 28/04/2011 06:09:31 PM 944 Views
Which was why I thought it was appropriate, since he meant to act as Egwene's Warder. - 28/04/2011 06:19:53 PM 904 Views
The only issue is that Warders are not minions - they are honored junior partners. - 28/04/2011 07:39:18 PM 1062 Views
No, the junior partners are Accepted. Warders are essentially personal bodyguards and/or assistants. - 28/04/2011 08:00:17 PM 859 Views

Accepted are not anything, let alone junior partners. Don't think N&E's experience was typical - 28/04/2011 09:32:22 PM 1091 Views
Here's the thing though... - 28/04/2011 11:20:32 PM 913 Views
No, but it's cute and quirky when Faile does it. - 29/04/2011 03:06:50 PM 1079 Views
But... - 29/04/2011 10:52:03 PM 876 Views
That's not really clear - 29/04/2011 11:41:20 PM 1006 Views

Didn't Siuan, Gareth and Gawyn tell her about the Bloodknife they encountered? - 02/05/2011 02:33:08 PM 906 Views

Galad is a great option for a political marriage - 28/04/2011 09:04:46 PM 895 Views
Yes, but... - 28/04/2011 09:40:39 PM 941 Views
but galad knew nothing of berelain's closeness to rand, so that couldn't have affected anything - 28/04/2011 10:12:23 PM 976 Views
Exactly - 28/04/2011 10:27:04 PM 823 Views
Yes. An often overlooked point is that ELAYNE, not Egwene, gains the most power in ToM - 28/04/2011 09:42:43 PM 1278 Views
Except... - 28/04/2011 11:16:25 PM 935 Views

Except they're both really hot. - 28/04/2011 10:01:46 PM 1071 Views

I can only quibble; Egwene became so insufferable in ToM I'm convinced her fate will be unpleasant. - 04/05/2011 12:41:53 AM 1044 Views
Siuan... - 04/05/2011 05:42:59 AM 1044 Views

"McClellanesque", eh? I'll have to remember that one. - 16/05/2011 12:12:23 AM 1178 Views
Good points all round (do you switch brains when getting into real world politics? ) & re: the Talk - 12/05/2011 02:04:06 PM 862 Views
