Why not Highlords in Tear? redhand Send a noteboard - 31/10/2009 02:10:07 AM
Like really, really angry?
I found myself wanting Rand to balefire the Seanchan at the end of the book, even if it ment putting up with another 20 chapters of Rand being broody and the same in Cady trying to make him smile. Just some kind of retribution for it.

It's really begining to get to me. I now really dislike Tuon and want someone to beat her down, I would give everything I had to see her leashed to Egwene for a few minutes, hell I'd even take that scenario with Elaida at the end.
Normally things dont get to me much in books, I can sit back and watch injustice, bullying, stupidity and not get emotionally implicated, but these, there is something about them. Ever since we saw Ewgene suffer at the end of ones of these I've just had a hatred of them ingrained.

Am I the only one?



The Highlords in Tear can do what seanchan did to channelers to any commoners, any day before Rand arrived. The Whitecloaks can declare any regular folk darkfriends and do the same thing. They did this in Almoth Plain and the TR. The only main difference is that for Seanchan, it is quite visible. For the WC, the prisoner stay in the dungeon and no one can see their suffering.

You only have this reaction since you see no POV from a commoner in Tear, and has not see any POV from WC prisoner since Perrin's capture.

As Stalin said, one death is a tragedy, one million is a statistics. Seanchan is just more honest about it.

Except the Seanchan are not spoiled chidlren who mistake "wishful thinking" for a plan Cannoli - 31/10/2009 04:48:45 AM 688 Views
Or he could have used the Choedan Kal TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:21:42 PM 646 Views
What Choedan Kal? *NM* Cannoli - 31/10/2009 10:15:24 PM 248 Views
The big shiney ball thing he destroyed at the end of the book TheCrownless - 01/11/2009 07:50:15 PM 591 Views
Destroyed. My point exactly. *NM* Cannoli - 06/11/2009 04:40:16 AM 234 Views
For what? Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 12:03:57 AM 641 Views
if he was it wasn't on purpose. I think he was just actively trying to use his ta'verenness *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 12:15:32 AM 257 Views
I dont think it's compulsion. TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:16:00 AM 581 Views
Actually, I think it's the other way around. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 12:21:49 AM 556 Views
He did the same thing with Cady TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:25:51 AM 567 Views
Personally, I thought he was using the TP to do those things. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 07:37:31 PM 524 Views
It wasn't Compulsion...Sanderson just sort of messed up IMO Marshall - 04/11/2009 11:38:38 PM 469 Views

I don't care for Tuon at all. I'd be okay if her and the Seanchan were obliterated. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 31/10/2009 12:44:22 AM 254 Views
And how is that any different from me with Egwene (except she & I are the same race)? *NM* Cannoli - 31/10/2009 04:51:17 AM 260 Views
Have I ever criticized you for disliking Egwene? TaskmasterJack - 31/10/2009 01:06:39 PM 552 Views
Why not Highlords in Tear? redhand - 31/10/2009 02:10:07 AM 678 Views
You dont really get it. TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:23:35 PM 528 Views
That is just POV trap redhand - 31/10/2009 04:20:07 PM 520 Views
Flawed Argument Bookwyrm - 31/10/2009 08:54:05 PM 512 Views
Not at all. Their position is perfectly justified by their experiences. Cannoli - 31/10/2009 04:29:25 AM 619 Views
The a'dam and leashing of channelers does not change the fact that the OP can be misued... fionwe1987 - 31/10/2009 09:17:20 AM 616 Views
Which is why people should NOT be MORE angered toward Seanchan than toward WT. redhand - 31/10/2009 06:22:13 PM 509 Views
That's complete hogwash. fionwe1987 - 31/10/2009 10:23:50 PM 557 Views
Using the word "Hogwash" is inviting flames, but I will be nice about it redhand - 01/11/2009 05:44:16 AM 580 Views

I have... fionwe1987 - 31/10/2009 11:05:20 PM 610 Views
Re: I have... Cannoli - 01/11/2009 02:27:20 AM 774 Views
Well that was rather silly. TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:27:03 PM 485 Views
And a generation later, the same old problem arises. New channelers, with no one to stop them. Cannoli - 31/10/2009 10:28:35 PM 512 Views
Several valid points... Legolas - 31/10/2009 05:17:09 PM 563 Views
I wonder what if Egwene happen to be a child kidnapped at Flame and sent to WT redhand - 31/10/2009 06:30:34 PM 569 Views
Your point has some validity for the actual Seanchan damane. Legolas - 31/10/2009 06:43:40 PM 593 Views
The sul'dam should be destroyed Sidious - 31/10/2009 05:14:06 AM 528 Views
The people themselves shouldn't be. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 05:26:08 AM 510 Views

Only the Empress can remove the custom Sidious - 31/10/2009 05:48:09 AM 531 Views
Due to their conditioning. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 06:03:32 AM 544 Views

I think the a'dam is the perfect solution for Blacks and the Shaido 'Wise Ones'. Gher - 01/11/2009 02:51:27 AM 587 Views
Yes. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 06:15:08 PM 462 Views
