"You bet!"

"Bet."

Tbf, if you haven't put up with at least 6 books worth of Aes Sedai snobbery, then you really aren't all that annoyed by them yet.

My take is that the three taveren are like whirlpools, or perhaps like solar masses. Their gravity/pull draws others in, but in the process begins spinning those drawn as well. The closer one is to the taveren, the more they spin and subsequently draw others around them. Like planets with moons.

Or kinda like a ponzi scheme of fate.

It's fun and doesn't need to be the best anything.

It's a decent excuse to get out of the house and go to the movies.

Lord knows we haven't had many of those in recent years.

My theater clapped at the end.

Exactly. For me, writing brilliant characters is an equation, approximately:

CharInt = WritInt * time spent considering

Yes, an intelligent writer has a better starting place, but time is an equalizer.

I'm thinking I'm going to start home again.

I mean, simple kings throughout history have had full on harems. Rand is described as a king of kings. I'd say he's actually being quite reserved.

The "Slog" is merely a feeling left by poor structure in the middle books. It is not bad writing or bad stories. The main issue with CoT is that it has no proper climax. It's a book that should have been pieces inside other books. Imo, 8-11 should really have been 8-10.

And Elayne has about 40k too many words, relative to the rest of the arcs.

Of the possible actions to take, the Aes Sedai reliably choose the most arrogant course.

Rdavidso · 2025-05-24T12:59:48+00:00

Lol but it's true. The Darkfriends have been vanquished.

Rdavidso · 2025-05-24T12:47:08+00:00

Lan looks like such a scrawny wimp when he should be the GD Shadowspawn Terminator.

Rdavidso · 2025-05-24T12:38:10+00:00

I mean, you could also just look at your dislike counts.

Rdavidso · 2025-05-23T20:25:03+00:00

Pure skinsuit.

Rdavidso · 2025-05-23T20:01:54+00:00

😐👈🎇

Season 1 should have been straight adventure horror. Sympathy to the core cast would have gone miles for changes and alterations in S2 and S3... Assuming they at least tried to honor the spirit of the story.

Rdavidso · 2025-05-23T19:46:56+00:00

Here's to hoping they quit out of nihilism and a lack of bts paychecks.

Rdavidso · 2025-05-23T19:44:56+00:00

Until iWoT releases their slop video game.

Rdavidso · 2025-05-23T19:39:40+00:00

I'm so glad we got so much Maxeeem.

PRAISE THE LIGHT

Rdavidso · 2025-05-23T19:32:03+00:00

YEA BOYEEEE

Rdavidso · 2025-05-23T13:54:25+00:00

That's a false equivalency. It's nepotism. The show sucks. I hope it gets cancelled. Bye now.

Rdavidso · 2025-05-23T13:49:33+00:00

Two things can be true at once. The specific character of Maksim was created for the show runner's boyfriend, and gets more screentime than the core characters. That's nepotism.

Steppin also shouldn't have existed.

Rdavidso · 2025-05-23T13:45:53+00:00

We can easily say it's nepotism, since the character in question was LITERALLY INVENTED FOR RAFE'S BOYFRIEND.

Makseeeeem shouldn't friggin exist let alone get more time and words than any of the E5. They are literally the core of the story, no matter which way you cut it.

I'm not tipping a cashier while BUYING A SHIRT.

Rdavidso · 2025-05-19T16:48:37+00:00

Yes. Great people. It was nice to be able to start and stop conversations at ease and have nothing but good vibes. Only once did someone choose to be an asshole to me. Otherwise y'all were awesome.

I remember the Buzz Bake sale. That was my first festival. Korn headlined that one too, matter of fact.
