I have to agree with my Heavy, there *grins*

Not so sure what Sorilea would do with Prof McGonigall 🤣

sometimes make me feel as if I'm writing at a 3rd grade level

OMW definitely not! You know where the commas and fullstops go, and all! *grins*

But seriously, you're exactly right (IMHO) when you say this series touches some of us like nothing else does or ever will. I even joined Dragonmount, which is not something I thought I'd ever do, and which no other book, series, show or movie has done.

So beautifully put, Aan-Alone!! *wipes a tear*

Hi Crestfall - welcome to DM!

I like her very much as Verin. She plays that character so well!

Thanks. I live in New Zealand.

*Hugs* ... at least you have electricity.

*Goes to cry with Shawlee*

Don't get me wrong, she'll be excellent playing any character, but she's been such a fan-favourite for the role of Cads for so many years, to the point where she even approached Rafe about it. Why not just go with that flow??

I do agree with you about Ceara - she looks the part and more importantly, acts the part. And I suppose above all, the writers managed to get this character right.

I frigging love when Perrin gets mad. It would be an interesting dynamic to see him facing Masema in the show. 

Yes!

I've never read it all.

*Le Gasp!!*

10 points from Gryff ... err ... Heavy 😮

I'm a very logic orientated person, so I always found it very difficult to understand the batpoop type crazy of someone like Masema.

Will have to see how the show handles that storyline (if they do).

That song is still going through my head, but I can't recall a single bit of music from the show. What a missed opportunity to stick in people's minds.

OMW seriously?? I will definitely have to watch it again, then!

Welcome to the WoT world, Stevzor 🙂

Heavy's put it quite nicely, so I'll just add that if you don't want to read Spoilers for the show, maybe stick to the 1st 3 books and New Spring?

Also, be prepared for it to differ quite a bit the show.

What about any baby Myrddral, with their cute little big eyes well, cute little something probably.

And yet the White Tower wouldn't let me keep one as a pet. I had to send it back to Shayol Ghul. Still miffed.

Me! Me! Pick me! ... LoL

I mean, don't get me wrong, I read other books in between 😅, but I always have a WoT book going on the background. It feels like home to me. And it kinda soothes me to be in Robert's world.

This.

This! This is the most important factor for me, I think. Followed very closely by this:

It literally feels like a Turning of the Wheel for Earth.

And the "magic" could be so ... possible ... just think of telekinesis.

I just checked New Spring where Moiraine took the Oaths and that's what it says.

Thanks! I was so tired last night I went to bed at 8pm - didn't get a chance to check.

So the "wiki" here is wrong.

I've noticed them to be wrong in quite a few places, so no longer really use them for reference.

I'll go double check this tonight.

"against darkfriends".

Against Shadowspawn, not against Darkfiends (see my post above)

Lol *snuggles back*

*Stops hijacking @Shawlees thread*

You're welcome to get a snuggle too, Shawlee!

You'll have to go to the Red Ajah if you want proper snugglebites, though 😛

I am probably misremembering this but I always thought the third oath only mentions shadowspawn (nothing about darkfriends or even the Forsaken) and in the last defense of their lives, or another Aes Sedai (not even other Gaidin). 

You are quite correct! I should maybe pay more attention to what people post and what I reply ... I'm a BAD Mother 🤪

The Three Oaths

    "Under the Light and by my hope of salvation and rebirth, I vow that I will speak no word that is not true."
    "Under the Light and by my hope of salvation and rebirth, I vow that I will make no weapon for one man to kill another."
    "Under the Light and by my hope of salvation and rebirth, I vow that I will never use the One Power as a weapon except against Shadowspawn, or in the last extreme of defending my life or that of my Warder or another sister."

You see I didn't have any problems with that, as suroth is a dark friend and the damanes under her control (probably some were her property too), were direct weapons wielded by Issy through her.

I disagree. Even if Moiraine knew that Suroth and (some of) her Damane were darkfriends, she could not be 100% certain that they were on that ship, and she could definitely not be 100% certain that every single person on that ship was a Darkfriend. Ergo, her Oaths would physically prevent her from attacking the ship, as at the point of her attacking, they were not attacking her.

The fact that Rafe, or whoever, are not aware of this or don't care, is ... the problem, not the answer? LoL ... don't know how better to put this.

My main objection to that scene is that moiraine was not in danger from the ship and should not have been able of using the power as a weapon, at all.

This.

One thing you may want to be aware is that the welcome post links to a locked thread about the rules - it seems you have created a new one,

The imbedded link you gave up above by "welcome post" is for the one on the Tar Valon board. The only link in that post, leads to the WT 101 thread (where you've posted to say you joined) ... could you point me to what exact thread is a locked one that's old? You're welcome to PM me if you want, or just post the link here, if you can.
