Just because he is an archtype does not mean he is bad, also if you look at his actions through book 2 under the knowledge that he suspects who Rand really is, which turns some of their conversations a bit. "You are a bit young, but I think you have it in you Rand" and his feverish desire to...

To be fair. Moraine has a GIGANTIC issue in not telling people things that would be incredibly helpful to them because they "Do not need to know" she has dedicated her life to her cause and is a great hero who does deserve great props, but her way of going about it early on made everyone's life...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn to the end! I always considered his Luck to be his Tav'ereness manifest, which is why it worked on Loaded Dice.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn to the end! In fairness to Mat, he is new at the whole "Scarily Lucky" thing at this point so he is not watching for it as of yet, he even chides himself about it during the chapter. "Nothing is more random than looking down an ally during a lightning...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn to the end! But I don't think Lews Therin did, and until he comes back from his test in Rhudian the Aiel are quite adamant that "The Dragon Reborn" and "He who comes with the dawn" Are two different prophecies, so it would have made little sense for them to...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn to the end! All I am saying is, Aiel hand to hand + The one Power = Avatar Style Magic Martial Arts and I was 1000% sad that after the cleansing the Aiel never did that because it would have been all sorts of winning.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn to the end! TDR: 51 See situations like this is why Siuan is a terrible terrible leader for advocating her underlings to actively avoid learning how to use a sword, Imagine how differently things would have gone if instead of those two punches that Nyneave...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 44-50 But Asmodean is a bard...hiding up in the mountains is not very Bard like.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 44-50 Asmodean is hiding somewhere, I don't think we ever get the "Hole he had crawled in" as Lanfear put it. But if I had to guess it was Caihraien, or Ebou Dar, since those are the major nations that are "left over" for someone to Hide in or conquer.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 44-50 I don't think Perrin was really paying attention to what was going on then, and if I recall properly the phrasing in book 1 refers to a "bar of fire" and balefire is usually a "Bar" shape.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 44-50 Couldn't have, she knew it in book one (used it in the ways)

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 44-50 I am technically two weeks ahead >.> I read the chapters two weeks out, then write them as I bus to work a week ahead, so I can post them on the sunday the chapters cycle to current.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 44-50 "Lan, break that guards neck"

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 37-43 And One Piece was only planned Originally to go for five years. >.> Last year they celebrated the 15th Anniversary to the series..and is about 5/8ths of the way through the plot... ITS SUNDAY! TDR: 43 Perrin brings up a really good point here...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 30-36 I think it was the first time in the series he has actually done something without being told. TDR 30: Mat leaves the Tower, on his way out he runs into Anayia, I would love to see this scene on TV, just the sheepish Guilty grin mat gives her, if I...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 30-36 Pretty much random Dark Friends, one of them uses "The Great Lord of the Dark" and only Dark Friends use that phrasing. In terms of randomness, a "Lack" of pattern is in itself a pattern. In terms of Dice, if you Roll six dice, it is equivalently...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 23-29 TDR: 23 So does Elaida think that when a woman stops learning from the tower they just..never channel again? Sure the Tower will come down hard on any woman who claims to be Aes Sedai, or anyone trying to set up a competing group, but if Nyneave were...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 16-22 TDR:6 - Rand heads off to pull the sword from the stone, and we say goodbye to the Shenarins for a long time, only to come back when Maesema goes completely off the deep end and needs stabbed, I am actually amazed that Uno let Maesema get away with any...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 16-22 Well since the wheel constantly repeats, Infinite since at least he would be Mat an infinite number of times, however he is probably "The Gambler" that crops up in various stories and legends.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 9-15 TDR Prolouge : Ah the Classic Lawful Evil plot “Create a Problem just so you can be the solution to that problem” I hate that scheme, mostly because it is very very effective especially in real life, it takes a long term view to pull off but it can be...
