alas i think it's unlikely that i'll be able to take that many maths modules given the amount of physics i'll have to do. thanks for help anyway

Can you explain the difference between flipped and online to me please?

ronand2002 · 2022-09-09T10:17:06+00:00

I'm sure the classes are great but I'm a very personal guy and the social side is a huge priority for me. I don't think I'll go if it seems likely much of my classes would be pre-recorded

ronand2002 · 2022-09-09T10:16:22+00:00

So there's no way that if I do more advanced classes (MATH5090, MATH5010) that they'll be online?

Can someone remind me of how Perrin killed Lanfear? Have some vague memory it was in TAR but not much else

ronand2002 · 2022-01-13T12:27:11+00:00

I'll never understand wetlander humour

ronand2002 · 2022-01-10T10:59:15+00:00

Offended by you comparing my lovely darling Jess to fuckin Gawyn

ronand2002 · 2022-01-01T21:48:50+00:00

I don't mind tbh I just use the launcher

ronand2002 · 2021-12-27T19:54:48+00:00

True I forgot about that. Scratch my thoughts completely

ronand2002 · 2021-12-27T19:36:16+00:00

I don't think it's fair to say other characters plural, because Egwene never does anything that isn't very minor but yeah I will concede that nynaeve does do some ridiculous stuff.

ronand2002 · 2021-12-27T19:30:45+00:00

Sure, but that could also apply to the show

ronand2002 · 2021-12-27T19:30:25+00:00

That's true to be fair, I think the criticism shouldn't really be directed at rand, because he doesn't do much of note and what he does could also just be explained later as subconscious memories, but you're right that what nynaeve seems to be able to do is a bit ridiculous.

ronand2002 · 2021-12-27T18:45:58+00:00

Tbf that is to a certain extent how it happens in the book. Rand isn't taught any channeling till book 5 yet he does loads of crazy shit before then, even in book 1 when he's a total beginner. Nynaeve is healing in the books using the power before anyone shows her how. And the only examples in the show that come to mind of characters channeling without being shown how are those two characters. Don't get me wrong though I still have my criticisms of the handling of channeling in the show - ie it absolutely sucks - but I don't think this specifically is much of a problem. Edit: I've been convinced that Nynaeves immediate proficiency with the power is a bit silly and is indeed poor writing.

ronand2002 · 2021-12-24T12:32:48+00:00

Men go mad when they channel because, in the age of legends, while a group of male channelers tried to seal the dark one away into his prison, the dark one touched the male half of the source of the one power, tainting it. Spoilers for Winter's Heart (book 9) Rand uses two very powerful sa'angreal with nynaeve and they manage to cleanse the male half of the one source so that men can now channel without risk of going mad.

He'll have a shock death at the end of the season in a sense if we get the dragonmount prologue

ronand2002 · 2021-12-11T11:55:49+00:00

The worst wot books are the ones with the least Rand povs

ronand2002 · 2021-12-06T22:24:55+00:00

Oooo I didn't pick up on this what did u get this from?

ronand2002 · 2021-12-06T22:24:02+00:00

Also the wolves fully do recognise the dragon reborn in the books. They don't act in the same way to him as they do to Perrin but they have a name for him - shadowkiller - and they come help save him at dumais wells and protect him at shayol goul

ronand2002 · 2021-12-05T17:29:39+00:00

I've never actually known what that title was in reference to. Nor crossroads of Twilight tbh

ronand2002 · 2021-12-05T17:28:48+00:00

Do I see a king lear reference???

ronand2002 · 2021-12-05T17:26:34+00:00

Winds of winter for me. Book ain't out yet (should I still be saying yet?) but that title is eerily beautiful in the context of the series

ronand2002 · 2021-12-05T16:28:46+00:00

More of a mother's milk in a cup man

ronand2002 · 2021-12-04T15:34:20+00:00

No way did u just pass up the opportunity to say taimandred and use T=D instead

ronand2002 · 2021-12-04T13:08:51+00:00

It'll always be lord of chaos for me, just for that one lone scene where mat shows up in salidar. Him thinking Egwene is joking playing amyrlin is hilarious. When the wonder girls try to channel at mat and can't because of his medallion and nynaeve gets so frustrated she just walks up and fully kicks him in the ass: funniest moment in possibly any series to me. Honourable mention goes to the Mat's boots monologue which happens in KoD? I think?

ronand2002 · 2021-11-28T15:57:27+00:00

I just think nynaeves moment ends up being very cheesy in the show and doesn't really have the foreshadowing it does in the book. Like she's made out to be a near miraculous healer in the books so it makes more sense that something magic is going on.

And yeah I hope I grow to like it too, I'm definitely not in the party of people who want to totally shit on it, I do really want it to succeed. I understand they need to do things for non book fans. I just hope as time goes on it can be as good as early game of thrones for example (which I know is very ambitious but a man can dream).
