But would it REALLY fundamentally change the Aes Sedai?

They already believe they are the key to saving the world and always do exactly the right thing. The Dragon possibly being a woman only amplifies that.

I strongly disagree. I’m intimately familiar with the series and I can see how killing his wife points directly to his struggles later on in the series.

It was shocking at first, but it makes sense and (at least to my mind) slots in much better with the original story. It gives a certain gravity to his mopeyness…

I think one problem is that in the book everything that made him at all interesting was mostly internal. Someone looking at the story from the outside probably would see a Rand very much like the one on screen.

That’s not to say they couldn’t throw a little something his way to make things a bit more compelling. His…

“the coincidence of Moraine and the others running into a group of sisters just as Moraine desperately needs healing”

I’m not sure why you’re calling it coincidence. We had established right away that they knew where the AS hunting Logain had been and where they were going. Then, they deliberately went to them - in the…

Found the hater.

It’s never the Warriors fault when they win and always their fault when they lose. Can’t accidentally give them credit for what they did do, that would derail the hate-train.

Excuses, excuses.

“Galaxy brain” is not a compliment....

Generous of you to rate him that highly.

We watch The Day After Tomorrow all the time in my house. It’s almost good.

Honestly, if you cut out the unnecessary “dire wolves escaped from the zoo and somehow commandeered the ship with our antibiotics” I could forgive all of the rest.

Hmmm.. I wonder why the map and the top 5 list doesn’t match at all for New Mexico.

According to that list La Cumbre is number 1, followed by Budweiser, Corona Extra and then Bud Light at #4... but Bud Light is what shows up on the map.

While it’s probably good that she’s going to lease in terms of being able to offload the overall operations, this is a super weird thing to say. Gas/convenience store franchises in particular get dicey because you start locking yourself into a single company for your gasoline. Making an already price-volatile (and…

I seriously believe that he became a dentist in the Little Shop of Horrors vein. 

Don’t listen to my siblings, they are normal, well-adjusted people.

You should read about his supposed involvement with the Jan 6th insurrectionists.  It puts an extra dark spin on this sort of post - it seems to be just a little bit more than an unprofessional joke to him and his staff.

Unfortunately that is very true

My only problem with this write up is the idea that any of this would be surprising. Anyone following the Sarver Suns would know that Sarver has proven himself to be the epitome of “scummy rich white man” time and time again.

Maybe this time there will actually be consequences?  God I hope so.

Surprised Remnant isn’t in there.  Especially if minecraft freaking dungeons gets honorable mention.

Ah, the reverse racism card. You sure resorted to that quickly.

This is such horseshit. Punching up is bigotry? The whole concept of “punching up” is because “up” is traditionally unassailable. You punch up to make people question the status quo, which seldom has ACTUAL negative consequences.

It’s almost like you missed…

Beat me to it.

All the while he never even registered that it could be a combination of both eyes and brain and - yes - maybe a relative aversion to something “different”.

Of course it also ignores the fact that the aversion to something “different” could also be that your original point (hard to see, maybe slightly slower reading…

Was there an edit done? Because this response makes zero sense - don’t confuse the issue. The FDA didn’t say “eat no onions whatsoever”.
