Rand the mass murderer, the explosive person who even his allies hate and fear. You do realize this is meant to be the saviour of mankind, not the Nae'blis right?


....it's not about such specifics, it's about the tension, the unknowing, the fact that Rand was on the verge of completely imploding. That was intense reading....it was great reading. I noted in F-T's post that I too wished for a longer visit with Dark Rand...not because I like what he had become necessarily, but because of the powerful "unknown" of it. And the short-lived, but scary idea that to save mankind, Rand would have to take very drastic steps with only an eye for the big-picture, ignoring the small points. Much like the scene of him leaving AD and all those people helpless and hungry. Powerfull stuff.

You hold Lanfear up high....is that not also just as "mad"? In the end it's just a story of course.
I would slave, to pave the way, to sink your ship of fools.

Rand and Roose Bolton... - 13/11/2009 02:02:11 PM 1069 Views
That is probably due to you having fought so many wars in Video Games, but not real ones. - 13/11/2009 02:20:42 PM 497 Views

I loved Dark Rand. I agree, I wish he was around longer. Should've come out earlier in the series. - 13/11/2009 03:23:59 PM 497 Views

Reading about a saint is boring. Reading about an imperfect hero is exciting. - 13/11/2009 04:38:24 PM 417 Views
That's actually kind of shallow and limited - 13/11/2009 05:07:55 PM 522 Views

You're right. But I'm very angry with the writers for portraying Egwene in such a positive way. - 13/11/2009 07:18:10 PM 452 Views
Weren't you the one who wanted uncertainty and doubt? - 13/11/2009 08:11:30 PM 415 Views
I have only one comment, and that's about your last sentence... - 13/11/2009 08:43:13 PM 455 Views
Well, that's a load of nonsense, sorry. - 13/11/2009 09:05:01 PM 468 Views
