I feel the same about Mat's luck powers. You talk about plot armor, his is a plot bulldozer.

Androl seemed to have massive plot armor, way beyond his importance as a character. By the time we reached the halfway mark it became clear that any scene he was involved in would somehow turn out badly for the Shadow.
"Oh no, I hear the bloody dice in my head! Maybe I'm a Timelord. Dare I suspect, the MASTER?" no wait, that's the sound of the universe spinning in Mat favor in every flaming action he takes.
He herps and derps all over the series without a care at all about what is going on and he still manages to appear at the right time at the right place to win it all.
Androl is the least of this series problems.

BOHICA - Go ahead, ask me what it means.

So, am I the only one who kind of liked the whole Androl/Pevara plot?

It felt like a plot tacked on as a vanity by Sanderson

I kind of always thought RJ intended the minor characters to be bland

You're not the only one who liked it. I thought the mind meld was cool. *NM*

I liked it. Most of the whining about is hilarious.

I hated it because it reeked of sanderson pandering to "internet humour" for lack of a better term.

Yep. I know what you mean, though it's hard to exactly quantify.

It wasn't bad. However, it took away time from characters that readers were more invested in. *NM*

It was a fairly bad execution of some good ideas

That one line characterizes the last two books of WoT generally. *NM*

He probably didn't have enough time to learn the characters completely

Pretty much. But I think significant blame should be laid at Jordan's feet for his abysmal pacing.

Certainly RJ deserves some of the blame. But pacing issues were not the only issue with AMOL

I liked it more than reading about Perrin. And seeing Mat butchered even further. *NM*
