True, other than a speech that was effective because the author said so, she diesn't do anything Isaac Send a noteboard - 13/04/2013 06:01:38 PM

Our list of people strong enough to have been in that circle - which technically shouldn't have included Moraine anymore or any AS with a sangreal or many with an angreal would have done - we had a pool that included Elayne, Egwene, Cadsuane, and Alivia for sure and presumably Aviendha and Amys too, I don't recall them being compared to Moraine in power specifically, and a wavefinder or two at least. Now most of those could be considered 'needed elsewhere' but Alivia at least had nothing to but kill shit or be a battery, she's no general or leader, neither is Aviendha.

Of course it is very damn unclear why Rand didn't go in there with a few extra bodies anyway. "Haha Lews Therin! Let us duel and I have Alanna chained to the wall dying and you can't heal her! Mwahahaha... oh, you broke off a few other heavyweights from your army of a thousand plus channelers to come along and guard your back, huh, I thought we'd agreed that duty would be left up to one old dude with no channeling ability down the road a ways. Crap"

Presumably part of the problem was that anyone not in the Callandor mass-power draw was vulnerable to DO attack but then moridin's wounding and killing of Alana becomes rather redundant... hey! wouldn't that also have been a handy time for Shadar Haran to be around? Oh I forgot, the DO outgrew him.

I'd like to see some discussion about Fain... - 07/04/2013 06:39:32 PM 1007 Views
We can discuss Fain, but like Shadar Haran he was a total let down - 13/04/2013 08:22:51 AM 995 Views
Add Moiraine to the let-down list..... *NM* - 13/04/2013 04:13:05 PM 454 Views

It will be forgotten in another 3-5 years. I second the "fold this into the Books board" sentiment. *NM* - 08/04/2013 06:36:42 PM 495 Views
Perhaps we should have a Fantasy Books board and an Other Books board..... *NM* - 09/04/2013 03:52:05 AM 543 Views
What's wrong with one board? It's not like there's much discussion going on *NM* - 09/04/2013 04:30:59 AM 419 Views
Especially not when the site is down every few hours or so. *NM* - 12/04/2013 06:21:15 PM 437 Views

I think Facebook is a big part of it. - 12/04/2013 09:49:47 PM 964 Views
I like the anonymity of a message board, personally *NM* - 12/04/2013 10:50:14 PM 416 Views

I was so dissapointed with the ending that I just don't care about the series anymore. - 11/04/2013 05:13:24 PM 956 Views
Curious - what about the ending was so bad for you? *NM* - 13/04/2013 04:11:48 PM 430 Views
I think it will.. - 16/04/2013 01:37:51 AM 913 Views
