Totally going to be seeing them on Sunday. Can't wait for the show, Procol Harum will be opening for them.

Jethro Tull - Budapest

^^ Agh, really man? TGS spoiler?

Anyway, I pretty much agree with the paranoia theory. Although, it is interesting to think that he may have sensed the gray man's presence. I always kind of thought that he was afraid that they knew what he was, and that might be another reason for his reaction.

Did anyone else pronounce Thom with an emphesis on the "Th"? It wasn't until like the second or third book until I realized it was supposed to be "TOM".

 

I think I went with 'Tom' from the start. Mind you I live in England where I'm used to the pronunciation of 'Thomas' as 'Tom-as'. (Last syllable more like 'ehs' than 'as'. I noticed Americans send to pronounce Thosmas with the 'th' as in 'thump' which, to be fair, does make logical sense. (We always write the short form of 'Thomas' as 'Tom' not 'Thom' for some reason.

 

I don't know about the Americans you've been around.... but as an American, I can say I've never heard someone pronounce Thomas with a 'th' sound  ;)

If his name was "Thomas" I would have pronounced it with the "h" silent, but I've never seen "Tom" spelt that way, so I guess I just assumed that if Jordan meant for his name to be pronounced as "Tom" there would be no "h".

I did!

lol...it wasn't until i had reread the series twice...when a friend told me the H was silent.

:D

Yeah, I have been pronouncing it that way for so long that I kinda just pretend that is how it's supposed to be. Some of the pronunciations are really going to bother me when the movie comes out, because they will be said the correct way. Oh well, I suppose it'll be for the better anyway...

Did anyone else pronounce Thom with an emphesis on the "Th"? It wasn't until like the second or third book until I realized it was supposed to be "TOM". Lol, I felt so dumb after that one.... but yeah, this is how I pronounce them:

Moiraine - "Moi-rain"

Egwene- "Edge-ween"

Nynaeve - "Nin-Nive"

Perrin - "Per-Rin"

Faile - "Fail"

Aviendha - "Ah-v-End-da"

Juilin - "Julian"

Taim - "Tame"

Loial - "Loy-al"

Siuan - "Sue-wan"

Aes Sedai - "Ace-Sed-i"

Mydraal - "Mid-Drawl"

Rhuidean - "Ru-id-e-an"

Aeil - "Ale"

Seanchan - (Just basically the two words put together. "Sean-chan")

Atha'an Miere - "Ath-an-me-air"

Tel'aran'rhiod - "Tell-air-ran-re-oid"

I like when Loial fights his first trolloc and kills it and then is upset that he killed it.

I also loved the scene in EOtW when Perrin fights the Whitecloaks.
