Three is interesting. Sorry I haven't responded, I've had no time :blink

He wasn't wrong, though. After feeling the vastness of the DO, he gave up on killing him in his prison as he had told Moiraine he was going to do. He never explicitly stated the DO was unkillable.

He was not wrong at the start. He dropped hope of killing the DO after entering his prison - he never said anything about it not being possible. You are missing our crucial point. They had knowledge of everything, direct, verifiable knowledge, of everything sans the DO. The Forsaken, AoL...

It says they sensed a source of energy. This is most probably the TP, though it may not be - the negative energy of space is considered tremendous, and as RJ was a physicist this may be the answer. Being an expert on Pattern metaphysics is far removed from knowing anything about the Dark One...

300 words are a lot of words to describe that process.

False. The Bore was drilled because the TP was detected, and if it could he felt, it could probably affect the Pattern. Remember, we are told he is not allowed to touch it while Sealed away. This is different from having some sort of entropic effect from a distance. Saying that a Third Age...

Sorry for popping out of the discussion for a few days - I was very busy. So basically, we wait for the Encyclopedia?

You are saying that the DO experiences one event because the Bore occurs at one place. This equation is never expressly stated in the books. Second, that question I have asked previously. The only conclusion is that the LB goes different every time, unless BS will give us an answer in the future.

That is not backed up by anything from the books. While it is possible that this is the case, I see no fundamental evidence suggesting that the DO only has one experience rather than a succession of experiences, which by diction used in LoC seems to be the case.

I am not saying he did this, then left, then did it again. To him, he did it, was sealed off and immediately began doing it again. Time has proceeded forward for Randlanders, and it must also for the DO. However, as you pointed out, there is no time in between.

By this argument and summation, which I can accept, you must concede that, therefore, the DO is constantly going from battle to battle with 0 in-between time, rather than one singular battle.

But MuKen, he clearly remembers Rand. I don't have the book with me, but he says in the prologue of LoC, "done by my ancient enemy, the one called Dragon" or something of that nature. He has experienced Rand's presence before, has memory of him before, and so your theory falls apart. The DO...

Eluial and MuKen make good points. There's really nothing to add.

I'm sure he left notes. If not, yes - for minutiae that is important to some people but not to the story, etc.... and I would love to see some synopsis of what comes after. Now that the series is over, I will pay as much money as I need to get the endings I want. I'm fine with them making money...

Faile dying would have, admittedly, been awesome. She is just so annoying... Does that make me a terrible person for saying it? :p
