  1. Weakness is punished. If some Darkfriend screws up why should the DO care or aid? Carridin was pretty much screwed over by the Forsaken and the BA. But they are tools to be used, and when they are of no use they get tossed aside. The fact so many Forsaken got a second chance was due to there really being no replacements, so he couldn't simply toss them aside like he might have in the war of power. Semi was sacrificed in an effort to break Rand.
  2. If you know where they will attack and have time to get there. Without traveling it's all on horseback. Moiraine even commented how long it would take Aes Sedai to arrive in the Two Rivers had she known she would find Trollocs there. The border is too large and too few Greens to worry about every Trolloc raid. I'm sure if a nation said a large group is forming the Greens would be coming to help. A few Aes Sedai would've made little difference in Book 1, sure it would've been a morale boost, but how many Aes Sedai are truly that powerful? Rand blasted so many due to the amount of power he was able to draw. There is sure to be some Aes Sedai in the borderlands but Kiruna (??) was related to a king in one of the nations and even she didn't stay put up there. I think its more of a let the armies handle the raids and Aes Sedai will try to help if it looks like something major, assuming they have time to arrive in numbers.
  3. Exactly, few would allow an "animal" to heal them or wish the power to be used on them.
  4. Rj always denied Taimandred, but in his notes Taimandred was real and RJ had him killing Asmo, but he left no notes or anything as to why he changed him mind,
  5. At the time of the dragons birth the Green had roughly 190 members. The biggest issue is there simply aren't enough of them to go patrolling the blight border etc. Plus if a bunch of them die stopping trolloc raids then how many will be left for the Last Battle?
  6. I don't think their portrayal is unfair, reds have a certain mentality. Which is why they make such bad leaders, They hate the rules and laws that don't allow them to simply gentle on the spot, which is why the Ajah fully went with the male channeler purging. The black ajah started it but the Red kept it going even after the black stopped. They see the other ajahs as being soft,
  7. Greens ready themselves for the last battle, not every battle. There aren't that many, so chances are there are few in a pot when an attack happens. Without traveling abaility they aren't going to get anywhere very fast. Not to mention Malkier fell because of betrayal. They don't go seeking fights but hold themselves ready for the Last Battle. Every ajah readies themselves to fight evil.
  8. It would be too hard to simply pick up where the last show left off. You would need all the same actors etc. I think someone would have to start over from the beginning.
  9. You have to remember with streaming it's about how many new members did they add, if WOT wasn't really boosting subscriptions then it doesn't matter. It's great if current members are watching it, but they need new people to join.
  10. They might not have known but my guess is they at least suspected it was coming. The person at Amazon responsible for signing WOT was fired, so that's never a good sign. Not to mention the longer the delay is agreeing to a new season the more worry there should be. Finally, Amazon was already talking about cutting expenses.
  11. I honestly don't see someone picking it up. Is it worth the cost? Look at how much 3 seasons of this cost. I don't think season 3 costs have been released. But the production costs for the first two was something like $260 million. Season three had to be at least $130 million. Not to mention if someone else picks it up, do they start where this left off or at the beginning? How many seasons would be needed to finish this? Supposedly the rights have gone to /WOT Production Limited, and they do not have a very good history with things.
  12. It was RJ, Brandon might have put his own spin on it but it was RJ's idea. It also couldn't take place until Mat was ready. Which would've rushed his story. She couldn't show up too quickly or would've ruined much of why Rand needed Casudane. Rand would have immediately gone back to Moiraine and pretty much made Cas pointless.
  13. Since certain things need to happen like last battle, DO prison being opened, people forget DO exists etc. But nothing saying the same thing has to cause it, As @bringbackthomsmoustachestates it doesn't have to be identical events. Maybe the Seanchan cull the ability by capturing too many women who channel, imean they capture the women and men who will channel regardless. If all they leave are the people who need to be taught, then would stand to reason in time channeling would be rare. Or maybe it's a sickness etc. So many men are suddenly about becuase before no one was crazy enough to go about testing to find men who had the ability to channel. As described in the books Taim would basically go town to town and gather up anyone who even showed an interest in his offer.
  14. I also remember Verin talking about the whites were discussing if gentling the men was the reason the Aes Sedai were finding fewer and fewer women. Something about someone recommended if the Whites were so concerned maybe they should breed with the men. It was mentioned how the Aiel find almost all the women who can channel, I'm guessing the Sea FOlk do also. So there are still channeling women out there that are having babies. The Aes sedai also don't allow those too weak or too old.
  15. The last episode had its good moments, but the confusing Lanfear/Moiraine fight sort of ruined it.
