  1. But again you were saying that he cares little for the money however this is the man whose policies forced his employees to wear nappies, pee in water bottles and not wear seat belts, and some of his work sites have 100%+ turnover rates. I fully agree that his reputation in certain areas is very important to him.
  2. It's obvious why bezos bought it he wanted his own GoT for his streaming service, and he wanted it almost entirely for the chance at more profit and the prestige it could bring too him. bezos is not some benevolent force or megafan you only have to look at the way he treats his staff or independent contractors to see the true worth of the man.
  3. And Somoan and Tongan culture are examples of modern feminism.
  4. I can't really agree with you on almost anything above. The books do not give an indication one way or the other about a well being able to use saidan as it is only the 2 ladies that have them, but it would be highly likely that the same vulnerability is likely to exist in both. There is also no mention to the best of my knowledge that the wells themselves are unable to hold one or both powers as they are both under the control of the ladies. All of wot civilization is anti saidan since the breaking till after the cleansing. The majority of the rest are distrusting of saidar at best and openly hostile at worst. The only thing setting Madding apart is the guardian in that respect. Cadsuane knew of the flaw because she owned the well. Far madding is not what I would consider an example of modern feminism. Where in our modern world are females allowed to physically beat males? Men are also not totally restricted the traitors moved freely about the city as did Fain and Toram all without female chaperones.
  5. I am not sure that the guardian blocks Saidan in the manner you state, however it is not relevant to the statement I made if Rand throws a rock, boulder or mountain from outside the guardian that object maintains it's velocity independently of the power. Allowing Rand to easily obliterate Far Madding without ever needing to engage with the dampening effects of the guardians. There is zero knowledge of how the guardian would have been impacted by the True Power, my belief is that it would not have affected it but that is pure conjecture. The fact that the access key lit up indicates to me that Rand intended to use Saidan.
  6. I just assumed he was going to start throwing stuff into Far Madding. With the key he could throw a mountain into the city. For me it's the same loophole as Mat's medallion.
  7. The only item that was able to act as an angreal for the True Power was Callandor. Remember Moridin's surprise when he picked it up in the cave. Also Rand used the lure of the Choedan Kal to resist the pull of the True Power which would not have been the case if it could have been used to draw that power through it. The stedding to the best of my knowledge where not created with the True Power at all.
  8. Nice garbage word salad.
  9. You responded too Jaccsen yesterday about the 5.9 million viewers. I was adding some perspective to the numbers you posted and showing that they are probably not too separate to those posted by Jaccsen. There are rewatch parties organized on twitter by various parties (including DM i think) I see multiple people saying they have watched episodes multiple times and I have often rewatched previous seasons prior to new seasons for shows that I have enjoyed. This IMO would have been particularly prevalent considering the extended break between season 1 and 2 for WoT.
  10. So thats, 103,000,0000/8 = 12,875,000 individual watches of each episode if we only assume that all watches are of S2. This is obviously not the case there would be considerable S1 rewatches and multiple rewatches from dedicated fans contained in those numbers. If you divide it by the full 16 episodes its close to the 6 million viewers number listed above.
  11. It's hardly a stretch if you use our civilization as an example. Take any period of 3000 years prior to industrialization occurring and there is not the explosion of advancement that has happened since that would indicate a marked difference.
  12. Helen Mieren would be awesome she is a little thin but would be awesome apart from that.
  13. Bollocks Some parts are 100% open to factual objective analysis. If you break your own established world rules that is bad writing. If you write your characters to do something that is completely against anything that character would ever do then that is bad writing. Are you telling me that if Rand pulled out a rocket launcher at the start of S3 and used it to kill Egwene that we could not objectively analyze that as bad writing.
  14. I have no idea what its from I found just that passage reposted on a discord thread I think a few years ago.
  15. Not really Perrin was scouting the black tower because they suspected that a trap was being placed there. You could make the same exact argument for Nynaeve saving Rand from Rahvin.
