This means the mystery itself is more real and provides a vastly more significant impact to the experience, partially due to the opportunity to co create and imagine possibilities without limits.
I'm trying to figure out now if I feel the same way about that, or not ... I do also love when something that RJ mentioned briefly 12 books ago, suddenly pops back up in a significant way (the fore-shadowing, as it's referred to here). Is that unrelated to your premise above, or in contradiction? Ima have to ponder! 😁😍

I started reading in 1992 (I believe) and there is still stuff I haven't caught on to. 🤔
That's the wonderful thing about these books, heh? 😃

It was so long ago .... LoL ... I think we OG were very lucky in this way. It was so much fun to theorise and then see where we were right or wrong!
I don't think I knew who Moridin was when he first appeared ... that was the scene in Shadar Logoth, right?
Honestly can't remember when I caught on. Bearing in mind that I've read some of the older books more than 30 times - things blur 🙂

It's worth mentioning, that he's going to be playing a larger role in Season 3 of WoT than he will in Season 2. I doubt he's even in season 2?
Tam? Will be sad not to see him in season 2, but glad if he's more prominent in S3 - he's a fantastic actor doing justice to one of my favourite characters.

Hello and welcome to Dragonmount, Sophietate.
What would you like us to teach you?

Therein lies the problem, I think. If you mix all colours together, you get mud.

Hi! I am Cerena, I was a Green Sister last time I was active here, so many years ago (we aren't gonna talk about me being and Ancient One lol) Arie told me I should come back, so here I am!
In my spare time I love gardening, cooking, canning, traveling and camping
I still even have you listed! Hehehehe ... welcome back!

I foresee raids ... lol

Impossible to pick just one! LoL ... New Spring is probably my favourite book, exactly because of all the myriad appearance by people we already "know".

I definitely remember your name - welcome back! 🙂

Welcome to Dragonmount, Marmaloot 🙂
Interesting name - where did it come from?

I had no problem understanding Mat and thought he was one of the better actors.
Fully agree.

So, got a new laptop for work last week. It comes with Windows 11 pre-installed. Yay.
Does anyone know how to get it to:
1) show less crap top and bottom so I can see more than a few lines of my spreadsheets
2) show all my open spreadsheets (excel), documents (word and pdf) INDIVIDUALLY at the bottom? Currently I can only find a way for it to bundled all my excel spreadsheets in 1 button, all the word docs in another button, etc - that doesn't work if you're hopping between multiple ones all the time.

I laughed out loud at your 'pronoun' entry. Would you mind if I copied it?
I only noticed that now, and I must say I agree! 😄
@Vengeance208 I must agree with DojoToad regarding the romance thingy. RJ didn't do romance very well, to be honest - most of them seem to come out of left field ... lol ... anyhoo, there are so many other aspects of the books which are fantastic that I forgive him for that.
Do you have any favourite characters or groups of characters from the books yet?

I distinctly remember an Accepted getting up to some shenanigans with me when I was a novice. Of course she moved on to other more dignified stuff. Right Mother? *smiles widely, attempting to look innocent*
... would that have been @Kara_J? ?

I remembered to look and yep, just a typo - my edition also has it as "Thom".

It's just a typo, I think ... I'm like one paragraph away from that scene in my current reread, so I'll double check tonight. And hopefully remember to let you know here!
You'd better remind me, though, because we old Aes Sedai get a bit forgetful ?
Show vs book, but I think the question best belongs with book fans

I grew up in a time (and maybe place) where you got your backside smacked for being naughty. To me, this is how things should be. I only have to look at how our country went to hell in a hand-basket after that was out-lawed.
Anyhoo, my point being that we're all different, and we like and dislike different things. Luckily RJ's books are a smorgasbord 😛
I find SOME of the repetitive things boring, but some of the intricate detailing fascinating and enriching.
I do find the concept that teenagers have enough sense to save creation whereas 250 year old highly trained women can't find their backsides even with a compass and a map, rather irritating.
But not enough to put me off the story.
