    In which a whole heap of us re-read Wheel of Time

    Quotes like that, plus all the Foreshadowing in the first books, is what makes me certain that RJ had most of the main plotpoints for the main characters made clear before he published the first book...

    Who wants a EUROPARTY?!?!? Bids Open.

    I've always wanted to go to Leeds :) My dad has been a fan of Leeds United since they won the League (so about 50 years now ;) ) and has been there many times, but I haven't been yet. And any place in the UK will have several historic sites to explore :)

    February 29th - Rare Disease Day

    Yes, I've met some people who had to have a real fight with their doctors, not just to be taken seriously, but to make the doctor understand that they are in pain. One of my best friends was told for years that she had a mental illness. She probably have that too. But it took them years to...

    I think Rand also got a glimpse of that when he has that last vision in Rhuidean, and hears how the Eye was created, by doing something like what Rand was doing, only on a smaller scale.

    In which a whole heap of us re-read Wheel of Time

    Yes, that chapter might look a bit boring and strange on first read through, but when you know more about the events that are referred to, it becomes so entertaining, and also a bit sad :( It also shows that RJ had already created much of Moiraine's and Lan's backstory already, despite New...

    February 29th - Rare Disease Day

    Yeah, Prednisone is a life-saver, but it also ruins your body in many irreparable ways. Even if I could miraculously stop taking Prednisone today (not a good idea) my body wouldn't return to "normal". I'm glad you were able to save your eye, btw. That sounds really scary. :hug

    February 29th - Rare Disease Day

    I also have a rare disease This one My rashes aren't nearly as bad as those pictures show, but most of the rest fit. I also had the joy of it mostly affecting my lungs, so it causes my lungs to slowly deteriorate. When I got the diagnosis in 2011, they were already at 40% capacity. Now they are...

    The first book is just so much foreshadowing so that when you read it again, you wonder how you missed it...

    Amylia just got through books 7-8 and needs to squel (spoiler for books 7-8))

    I agree with most of what you said. I am also not really a fan of early books Egwene, but I love her as the Amyrlin. I won't spoil anything, but I suspect you will like her more and more as you read on ;) As for Perrin, I'm afraid that will only get worse :(

    Oaths, Aes Sedai, and Damane

    The Aes Sedai in Seanchan, the ones who made the a'dam wasn't bound my the oaths. That is purely a Tar Valon thing, not something others do. And as mentioned above, Aes Sedai who are made into damane cannot be used in battle. Nor can they lie, as Suroth tested on "Pura" by punishing her when...

    S2E8 "What Was Meant To Be" -- w/ Book Spoilers

    And that the ability to channel is genetic. You either can channel, or you can't. (Or you can learn, but then, technically, you can.) No amount of wishing for it would make a person able to channel, if they weren't born with the ability.

    Matt's dagger and Rand

    I think they explain it with "he didn't hold it for very long" as he put it on his belt away from his body as they sneaked away, and placed it in the case right after. Rand also knew what it was and was careful with not using it. But it could be that he also has a natural resistance as a channeler.

    That definitely sounds like something Gandalf could say :) He says something along the same vein in Moria, to Frodo...
