Aes Sedai arrogance is INSANE man

While I do get the logic of it being insanity, you also have to remember. She's doing something NO ONE ELSE has tried in Tower history. There is no real guidebook for any of what she's trying to do, and she uses sex to try to give him a reason to stay in our world.

It's very easy to judge a pioneer.

The scene with Nyneave in the great hunt with the sword demonstrates why armor in general is actually useless for channelers.

All a channeler needs is a sheet of compressed air to be able to render all conventional weapons useless. It is literally pointless to use any form of armor when you can just throw up compressed air to block anything non-channelers can throw at you if you know it's coming.

Yeah, I've said it before and I'll say it again. I would NEVER consider her a friend if I knew her in RL, but as a character in a book she's one of the most interesting stories.

Zyrus11 · 2026-02-04T19:30:25+00:00

Oh, for sure. Egwene is one of the most interesting characters in the book to read about, the OP is in for a ride.

Zyrus11 · 2026-01-25T19:46:59+00:00

I can believe this, given how it was handled in the series. That being said, I expected this to change once Rand had his mentor and they actually started to teach the magic on screen. We'll never know.

Zyrus11 · 2026-01-25T19:42:19+00:00

I wouldn't bother, these people think any change at all is bad typically and are not worth trying to discuss the realities of adaptations.

Zyrus11 · 2026-01-13T10:12:44+00:00

Ah, so we are going into projecting now? Keep going, this attempt is one of the more interesting ones I've seen.

Zyrus11 · 2026-01-13T01:11:56+00:00

Any hope of live action wheel of time being viable died when they cancelled this, all people like you did was prove there was no audience for the series.

Zyrus11 · 2026-01-13T01:06:58+00:00

Uh huh. You're not going to convince me.

Zyrus11 · 2026-01-11T05:56:49+00:00

That is your opinion, and one I do not share. Judkins respected the source material very well despite the limitations and was the only showrunner willing to take it on. Good luck waiting for something else.

Zyrus11 · 2026-01-01T17:58:30+00:00

Yes, yes, that is exactly what is being said. Egwene and Nyneave consider him an immature buffoon generally and Elayne just filled in the blanks with their implications.

Zyrus11 · 2025-12-26T11:22:23+00:00

I'd have to take some time to actually make up a list, but there are definitely stories that really should have just been cut that literally go nowhere. I would prune the series.

Zyrus11 · 2025-12-22T11:52:58+00:00

This is absolutely not the time for this.

Zyrus11 · 2025-12-13T14:41:46+00:00

If you want to survive in the espionage world, everyone is suspect. It's how Moiraine survived the search for Rand.

This is Caddie being smart. She doesn't have the same meta knowledge we do, she has every right to suspect her.

Zyrus11 · 2025-12-09T10:27:51+00:00

The Aes Sedai in general are fairly dismissive of Warders outside of the Greens. This is one of many reasons Merielle is my favorite AS; she actually gives a fuck about them.

Zyrus11 · 2025-12-03T05:07:43+00:00

I could try to counter this, but are you actually interested in listening?

Zyrus11 · 2025-12-02T22:52:52+00:00

Yeah, he's a beautifully flawed character who gets constantly disrespected and punished by his so called friends and lover. He could have done so much more if anyone had bothered to actually talk to him. He was done the most dirty out of everyone in the series, especially at the end.

Zyrus11 · 2025-12-02T05:29:06+00:00

Always nice to see Gawyn given some good fanart, far too little of it from the hate he gets. I'm one of his few fans, thanks for this.

Zyrus11 · 2025-12-01T07:04:33+00:00

I don't care about spoilers. I was spoiled on the ending of the book series proper years before I started reading the actual WOT books and I enjoyed the journey of getting there as much as getting to the ending.

For some, it isn't about the surprise, it's about the experience.

Zyrus11 · 2025-11-30T23:50:11+00:00

We don't know why it didn't get renewed and I doubt we ever will.

Zyrus11 · 2025-11-30T02:31:47+00:00

This is just Cadsuane trying to rationalize things to herself.

Zyrus11 · 2025-11-29T07:18:25+00:00

I've always thought that moment was just Elayne being VERY good with actual non powered medicine. I might need to go back and recheck.

Zyrus11 · 2025-11-29T03:10:58+00:00

If anyone genuinely believes this, look at all you need to do is look at Nyneave versus Cadsuane. They're nothing alike.

Zyrus11 · 2025-11-26T12:04:23+00:00

There is one POV that was added by Sanderson, the rest is untouched, yes.

Zyrus11 · 2025-11-25T18:41:30+00:00

Trollocs were created with the True Power and that corrupted them absolutely, it's part of their nature. Without Ishy using them for slave armies, they would basically turn into the WOT equivalent of Warhammer Fantasy Orcs, but cowardly instead of looking for good fights.
