    S2E4 "Daughter of the Night" -- w/ Book Spoilers

    I cannot overstate how much I dislike this immortality scene. Yes they are perfectly mortal, they could die through mortal means, none of the Aes Sedai of the AoL were immortal even with Healing. I think this could be true, but I suspect it is the first showing by The Lord of the Grave, and is...

    S2E3 "What Might Be" -- w/ Book Spoilers

    So i'm enjoying the show so far and these are my thoughts: I really loved the arches and Nynaeves raising to the Accepted, I think they did a fantastic job with that. The actress is phenomenal, she's just a perfect Nynaeve for me. Elayne is very well cast, and seems to be a great foil for...

    Mat's Luck

    I think you are somewhat right. IIRC There is the speech where Hammar recounts how the greatest swordsman he ever trained was beaten by a farmer with a quarterstaff. The quarterstaff holds an obvious advantage over a sword. I think though, there is a scene where Matt slips slightly which is a...

    TRAILER SEASON 2

    I'm not keen on the changes to the Seanchan, I don't feel it is needed. I mean the collars are pretty bad - it also means there will be more changes coming because it limitsthe interactions between the Damane and Suldam. I think Jordan had that balance just perfect, and the Seanchan denying...

    Moraine: theories on shielding

    I agree on that - I liked the visual representation of the weaves (although I wish they were move Weave like if thats makes sense) but they did an absolutely terrible job of explaining why Male Channelers are terrifying (the fact that the Aes Sedai cannot see their weaves). From talking to...

    Moraine: theories on shielding

    Whatever it is I suspect it might not have any relation to our understanding of the One Power. Honestly their handling of the One Power has been (for me) mone of the worst aspects of the show. Heres hoping much of it was due to Covid and reshoots.

    [Closed] The Online Events Team is hiring

    This looks interesting. I am starting a new job in April and I don't know what the work stack will be like - for 6 months all I will be doing is product training and familiarisation. In the next couple of weeks I should know what the workload is like and time permitting I would love to be able...

    I hope I have Regurgitated these Words in the Appropriate Order

    Welcome. The series is definitely worth finishing. I think you will enjoy the Brandon Sanderson written ending to the series if you like BS writing. :)

    Servant of All Playlist

    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwvLlEtxX3o This song makes me think of Rand when he is going a bit nuts. "There is no you, there is only me"

    Lanfear - Is Tel'aran'rhiod really her domain?

    I definitely agree regarding the Forsakens rating of their own ability. Moghediens cowardice is one of the reasons I wouldn't rank her above Lanfear. The moment she loses the uppetr hand she panics and that lack of emotional control is amplified in TAR. I've always had this inkling that Perrin...

    February - Celebrating Black Women Successes and a reflective book read-along

    In regards to the UK literature scene I think it would be remiss to overlook Malorie Blackman. Malorie Blackman Malorie Blackman is a British author with over 60 published works for children. Malorie broke a lot of fresh ground: Malorie was the first Black British Children's Laureate...

    Mistborn - is this YA.....? It's totally YA.

    Thanks - that's not something I was aware of as a problem. I'll read the article and give it some thought.

    Mistborn - is this YA.....? It's totally YA.

    I don't know what this means. Do female authors more routinely get branded as YA? To the OP - @Tree I think Sanderson writes Mistborn in such a casual tone that it ends up feeling YA even if it isn't actually YA? So it deals with themes in a light way - I mean for example Kelsier and his trauma...

    Discussion: AU where The Dragon Reborn grows up with Moiraine living in the village.

    My view is that in the Wheel of Time primary timeline, all things happened exactly as they needed to in order to facilitate Rand repairing the pattern. I'm not sure having a close Aes Sedai would be that much help - I mean in TDR he doesn't seem to trust Egwene all that much considering they...

    Lanfear - Is Tel'aran'rhiod really her domain?

    Recent revelations got me thinking about Lanfear. Driven by jealousy and love, Lanfear is undoubtedly one of the most interesting of the Forsaken. I see Lanfear as a tragic character, someone who never lived up to the expectations of her age, falling short of her third name and failing to win...

    Tuon...oh Tuon... you are a hypocrite!

    Yes absolutely. I can envision young Seanchan girls that learn to channel actually handing themselves in because that is what their worldview would tell them to do. It's easy from the outside looking in and applying your own moral virtue to a set of circumstances, but the Seanchans moral...
