    The last episode on Prime(spoiler)

    Honestly, I think Siuan is the betrayer in that situation. If someone abuses you the way Siuan abused Moiraine by compelling her to act in violation of her will and her conscience, then you have no obligation to them at all anymore. Siuan broke the relationship, Moiraine just let it stay broken...

    Membership Manual Change: Age Requirements Revised

    I joined when I was 15 and I never had any problems. The other youngsters I affiliated back then, that I was close enough to to discuss that type of thing, also never had problems. I believe the problem is largely something that can be mitigated, and I believe this community has virtues, has...

    Membership Manual Change: Age Requirements Revised

    I get why we’re doing this but the optics aren’t great, tbh. We’re going the route of banning the potential victim, placing the entire cost on the innocent party. This is functionally equivalent to saying girls aren’t allowed because men might look at them and have impure thoughts. The entirety...

    Some Philosophical Considerations during Re-read

    Interesting questions! Iirc, Robert Jordan said the Creator created the Wheel and its accompanying universe then peace’d out. So the Creator is external to the system and will not interfere to protect it. The creating was the interested part for the Creator, not the maintaining of it. People...

    S2E2 "Strangers and Friends" -- w/ Book Spoilers

    Cliff notes version of my opinions: - So far I think the changes are generally reasonable and in some cases add to the character arcs. - Mat I’m fairly happy with. - Elayne I’m pretty meh on. But I’m fairly meh on book Elayne too so they’ve hit the mark pretty well imo. - Nynaeve/Liandrin I...

    My problem with TV Show Ishamael (book spoilers)

    I'm hoping Galad's arc, if Galad exists in the show..., will help add depth to the show Whitecloaks. Seeing someone we generally see as a Good Guy join them, and seeing his reasoning for doing so, might help flesh out their worldview. I'm not holding my breath for that, they seem more inclined...

    What did we not get to see in the books that you would like to see in the show?

    Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing how they handle all of Perrin's extra abilities. I don't envy the people who need to translate it from book format to visual, because that's going to be a tough one. I hope we get the spar between Mat, Gawyn, and Galad from book 3. Mat's "escape" sequence...

    What did we not get to see in the books that you would like to see in the show?

    I could see that (holding off on his voice until after his death) and could get behind it. The wolf dream’s flexibility will give them a lot more leeway to make the interactions work.

    What did we not get to see in the books that you would like to see in the show?

    That wolf definitely acted in Hopper-ly ways and I hope that’s him. I just hope they give us real, explicit interactions with him. There are two or three scenes that make me cry on virtually every read through and Hopper showing Perrin how he soars is one of them. I don’t know how to give us...

    What did we not get to see in the books that you would like to see in the show?

    I need Hopper with a name, and acting in explicitly Hopper-ly ways. :look

    Is the Bore a hole in Tel'aran'rhiod?

    I appreciate it! That helps me narrow my search a little bit too. :D I'm still not entirely sold on that. Many decisions in life are all but random and they can have a significant impact on things, and would be roughly equally likely to occur. For example, the timelines in which Siuan looked...

    What did we not get to see in the books that you would like to see in the show?

    I want to see Mat’s fight with Couladin. I want to see the spears all chanting Wash the Spears! Reading about it is cool, but I want a scene like the uruk-hai outside of Helm’s Deep slamming their spears in unison, but with veiled Aiel chanting Wash the Spears. I’d like to see more of a...

    Is the Bore a hole in Tel'aran'rhiod?

    I’ve always imagined tel’aran’rhiod as being a different dimension occupying the same space as the physical worlds, rather than existing outside of them. And the same with TDO’s prison. I think it’s a slight plot hole that there’s only one tel’aran’rhiod for all the worlds because it is so...
