This Age is indeed special because DO can achieve ulimate victory only in this Age, that is why it is called TG. You took a while, but at least you finally understand. It wasn't that hard was it?

 

The same as in every other 7th age that has passed. Hence nothing unique about this one.

 

I think is more likely he is missquoted then RJ is wrong, however, if we were to go through every single 'quote' from him, there are probably at least couple of contradictions.

 

When authors get things wrong it is usually concerning eye color, or losing track of where a minor character is. He would not get something as important as this wrong. If you can find in any interview a quote that contradicts the one I provided please do so.

 

As for the misquote maybe someone else could chime in but I have never heard of issues with the Marcon report. The statement is unambiguous and very straightforward. It's actually pretty pathetic, at least try to prove your theory with textual evidence or quotes instead of just claiming to know better than RJ.

 

Since you are so inquisitive, work that mind, get the cobwebs out, start looking at what RJ said to find contradictions. There are bound to be a few.

 

I already provided textual evidence (see Rand's quote), as you well know there are dozen's of quotes by various characters. This is emphasized throughout the entire series without any contradiction, TG, win or die.

 

If you can find anything to contradict the fact the TG is indeed win or die time from the books, quote it, otherwise there isn't anything else to discuss.

 

If by "win or die time" you mean "if the Light loses, it's all over", you're right.

 

If by "win or die time" you mean "if the Light wins the shadow will be destroyed for all time" . . . no. As for sources from the books, how about Herid Fel:

 

"Someone had to make it sometime. For the first time, that is. Unless you think the Creator made the Dark One's Prison with a hole and patch to begin." His eyebrows waggled at the suggestion. "No, it was whole in the beginning, and I think it will be whole again when the Third Age comes once more. Hmmm. I wonder if they called it the Third Age." He hastily dipped a pen and scribbled a note in the margins of an open book. "Umph. No matter now. I'm not saying the Dragon Reborn will be the one to make it whole, not in this Age necessarily anyway, but it must be so before the Third Age comes again, and enough time passed since it was made whole - an Age, at least - that no one remembers the Dark One or his Prison. No one remembers.Um. I wonder..."

 

There you go. Straight from the books. The Third Age is coming again. The Bore will be resealed, the Dark One will still be in the prison, and, in the Third Age, the Bore will be drilled yet again.

 

Let me guess - Herid Fel is wrong, too?
