and he's gone out of his way IMO to show that it's a stupid darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 07/01/2010 10:41:03 PM
for someone who is always preaching about effectiveness he has a remarkably loose idea of what the word means. Let's face it, there are literally dozens of ways a lone male channeler could have killed these women! We've seen how incredibly poor the AS fighting abilities are, the "Battle Ajah" didn't really live up to the name in TGS. After learning one Sister died from a wall being collapsed on her I'm pretty sure a 12 year old with a stick might be able to take some of these women


The continued belief that only strength matters is irritating. RJ has shown too many times that it is but one factor.


measure of a Channelers abilities!

I think the AS have been poor in the face of battle since shortly after the Trolloc Wars. Training became accelerated, standards dropped and I'd bet a lot of weaves went to the grave with their AS! The Tower IMO became a Political entity and really very little more thanks largely to Tetsuan. Seemingly she was the first Amyrlin to be publicly castigated for her role in the fall of Manetheren ... it's kind of like the Catholic Church allowing Satanists to slaughter everyone in Spain because the King of Spain had more influence than the Pope... people would probably lose a lot of respect for the Church for allowing such a despot to rule.

Is Rand logical when he estimates female danger? Sidious - 07/01/2010 03:34:05 PM 1539 Views

Miscommunication seems to be a major theme of the series *NM* darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 07:17:16 PM 445 Views
As well as missed opportunities. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 09:27:56 PM 813 Views
yes, the Amyrlin story line could have been wrapped up much earlier! darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 09:55:30 PM 931 Views
Yeah, I really wish his vision had been pushed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 10:16:15 PM 753 Views

Thanks for pointing to that Taim incident... its another proof... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 04:15:33 PM 904 Views
I always like to think that Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha Linked can match Rand. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 05:26:35 PM 809 Views
Those three... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 05:35:24 PM 780 Views

I'd actually go with Elayne in matters of battle. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 02:47:34 PM 849 Views
Wow, I wasn't expecting that Sidious - 08/01/2010 02:55:53 PM 922 Views
I'm not too impressed with the Forsaken so far. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 03:30:43 PM 738 Views
I'm tempted to go with Taim too, but... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 04:25:52 PM 796 Views
If Elayne had wanted Taim dead, he and his minions would have been dead darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 05:41:29 PM 852 Views
The reverse would be true too, though... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 05:50:02 PM 751 Views
But she just heard Taim say to basically stand down darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 06:05:43 PM 806 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 08:53:11 PM 1000 Views
Ah but Elayne also knew they knew Rand wouldn't allow it darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 10:40:45 PM 845 Views

I think he is illogical towards all danger, regardless of gender. amirebram - 07/01/2010 06:39:37 PM 752 Views
Do fat kids run marathons? No. And no Rand isn't logical when he estimates female danger. *NM* callandor1000 - 07/01/2010 06:44:08 PM 491 Views
It's all kind of irrelevant. Cannoli - 08/01/2010 11:28:46 PM 1014 Views
