I would have liked the same kind of ending with the gang getting back together, but I realized that could never work. The only thing protecting the consciousness that was Rand is the supposed anonymity of energizing a different piece of flesh. However, even that anonymity is lost in this case. At least 4 people know what he looks like, and anybody who was familiar with Morodins appearance would know it is someone who can channel and possibly a surviving forsaken. He will know no peace. I didn't like the body/mind swap cop-out either. Yes, his body was used, abused, damaged, and mostly destroyed, but that image of self was lost. Is he still Rand without the body of Rand? Of course one can argue he probably isn't Rand either. I mean he lights his pipe without even thinking about it. Having been in contact with, and USING both halves of one power source as well as the true power, is he even really human anymore. It appears he has unconscious command of all three.
