Whether it was because of Sanderson, or because of RJ, I don't know, but it definitely felt like, "Hey! You guys remember this, from that book? And this, from that book?"

There was Hurin, who hadn't even been mentioned since the very beginning of tDR.

Bela, of course.

A conversation between Tam and Rand.(!)

The sa'angreal used to heal Mat.

Rand talking about the blademaster he killed in tGH

Nynaeve viciously defending Mat, and how he rescued her.

Finally, an explanation of Verin's behavior (sidenote- perhaps Verin was directed to send that draghkar after Moiraine?)

Mat and Thom reminiscing about being on Domon's ship, and playing for their food.

Mat thinking about the dagger, which I don't think he's mentioned for half a dozen books.

Even Gareth and Siuan bickering and reconciling over her oath counts- remember, that oath was made back in tFoH!




I'm sure there's even more- these were just off the top of my head. It definitely felt, at times, that Sanderson was a fellow fan that was going, "Remember this? Remember this? Remember this?" Not in a bad way, though!
I amuse myself.

Hm. Let me explain. I meant it more like... when you watch the season finale of a show. - 10/11/2009 07:26:00 AM 551 Views
