Logain~ What a huge disappointment this character was. Revenge eating away at his soul to the extent he can't dig his head out of his a$$ with both hands and a shovel. I am left wondering why Androl and Pevara bothered rescuing him. What was the point? So he could wuss-out against Demandred? Think about this; Logain was willing to use Balefire to retrieve the sa'angreal scepter from the crystal, yet didn't think to prepare the same weave before stepping through the Gateway to attack Demandred. (I spell that D-U-M dumb!) He only gains some measure of redemption by helping rescue children from Trollocs due to the pleading of Androl. His hard-earned reward is inheriting command of the BT and now gets to match wits with Cadsuane.
I wouldn't want to try to dig my head out of my ass with a shovel. It would hurt enough just having my head shoved in there.
In the same vein, what was up with Rand sword-fighting Moridin in the Pit of Doom? Aren't they both channelers extraordinaire? (On top of which Rand was using Callandor, a crystal sa'angreal) Where was the intriguing rematch of the duel they had in the Stone of Tear? And why, of all the possible people to link with, did Rand take Moirainne? Her strength in the OP was so diminished that she would contribute zilch. The only plausible explanation I can think of was that since she was with him at the beginning, she therefore had to be with him at the end. Neat storywise, but pretty lame otherwise. (Why not a full circle if you are wanting maximum power?)
We saw with Androl's storyline that a circle can be compromised by those within it. It could be that Rand knows this and thus only took those that he absolutely trusts with him.

I think Rand and Moridin sword fought because channeling at SG is v dangerous so they minimised it

There was a HUGE goldmine of complexity that RJ planted in the story that BS just completely ignored *NM*

All but remains, for me at least, is a story that isn't as memorable as it could have been

He actually said he took "many advanced courses in linguistics"? That makes it even worse.
