Just looking at it made me gag, Ugh, how the fuck did that happen?

The problem which you mention is remedied a little further in.

I've thought the exact same thing for ages, it's really, really obvious that Taim was originally intended to be Demandred, just looking at the narrative structure of Lord of Chaos, but it pisses the dragonmount.com crowd off so much when you say it 'Jordan wouldn't lie to us like that!' Once...

Good example of the exaggeration of the 'superficial markers of femininity' being discussed a few pages back. She might have passed in a photo, especially if the hair etc. was toned down, but the moment you see that lecturer move and talk, it becomes blatantly obvious. Question to the RR.org...

I'm doing the same, got a big TV set up in front of the treadmill. Running bores me to tears when I have nothing to watch, but I've been rewatching some of my favorite shows and I end up staying longer just to fit another episode in.

Nearly missed out on a copy, luckily their order turned up just as I had to leave for an appointment. Going to try hold off on discussing it or reading spoilers till I'm finished.

The music industry is still struggling to acknowledge that the internet exists, so I can't see TV being much better

You wouldn't take a $30 hardcover near the bath, but you're ok with a $100(ish? I don't know) electronic device?

I don't think I said anything, but I've dropped a few kilos over the last month or so. Not going to the gym or anything, just running every other day, basic home exercise program and a few dietary changes. I'm hoping it'll be enough to get me back down to where I was 2 years ago before health...

Didn't someone say that ebooks don't contribute to the NYT bestseller list or something, and that's why she did it? I'm not bothered either way, I'll probably buy a hard copy then pirate it if I want to reread it down the road, like I did with ADWD.

Oh man, was actually passing pretty well till 2:09, she has a really mannish figure. Face is pretty convincing, but the rest of the body looks way off.

He wasn't in The Hobbit no.

I'm ok with it, we get the 1% of Reddit which is actually funny while avoiding the 99% which is trash.

Poor EgweneShe actually grew on me towards the end, even if she was super bitchy towards Gawyn.

Yeah I can't help it, I have a thing for Judy Greer, and Cheryl is basically a younger her.

For some reason whenever I read the books I can't help but picture Nynaeve as an old woman. I know she's supposed to be in her 20's and kinda hot, but with the way she acts she's seared into my mind as a bitter, hunchbacked old spinster, I try to remember her as she's supposed to be but it just...

nah, give me a 3 way with Cheryl and Lana any day.

I'm pretty sure most of them will survive. I mean come on, he couldn't even leave Moiraine dead. Though he'll probably make a token effort and kill one or two (my guess is Mat).

They absolutely do in my opinion. I put off on reading them for a while because I was worried they wouldn't, but I honestly barely noticed the change. He does word things a little differently to how RJ would do it, and his writing for Mat is rather awkward for most of TGS, but otherwise it's not...

I was surprised that it was airing in the US so far behind the UK.

I've already checked all my usual torrent sites, no dice

How do I say 'I hate you' In Swedish?

It was deus ex machina when they happened to arrive on the other side of Middle Earth 'just' as Frodo & Sam emerged from the mountain, but having them rock up 10 minutes down the road from their own place when Gandalf calls for them? Not so much.

Yeah I'm actually pretty stoked for this, haven't bought a WOT book on release in over a decade.

^ That's a good point, there's no way this series ends after one more book. But it wouldn't be modern fantasy if it did :|

Just in time, finished catching up on WOT yesterday.

Hah. If you think 5 was bad, you had a surprise coming in books 7/8/9. It gets a bit better after that. it's a shame you missed 6 though, it has the best ending of any book in the series by a huge margin.

Been trying to figure out a way to defeat insomnia for my entire life, with no luck. It's been really bad every since I was a young child, instead of a typical 16/8 awake/sleep schedule, I tend to stay awake for 18 - 20 hours then sleep for 6 - 10, no matter what I'm actually doing during that...

On the Gandalf powers thing, in the book he also blasted a bunch of goblins with lightning when they first snuck into the cave. Anyway, finally got around to seeing it tonight, really enjoyed it. I was worried the extra stuff would feel tacked on, but I really enjoyed it for the most part...

I'd put $50 ondying

Sanderson keeps posting pics of copies of AMOL on FB. What a dick

Yeah his supporting characters are amazing, and he can build some really immersive, vibrant world (Stardust in particular sucked me in in a big way, sucker that I am for folklore and old european mythology). I think that's part of why it bugs me, you have a character like Mr. Wednesday, but the...

Not sure I meant it as an insultI said his books aren't the best thing since sliced bread like some people claim, they're still good reads and I own a fair few of them, but he definitely has some very noticeable flaws as an author, namely his protagonists and their complete lack of...

Yeah Gaiman writes great stories, but his writing itself fluctuates a bit in quality, and his protagonists tend to be incredibly boring stand-ins for the reader. American Gods is definitely worth a read, but it's not the second coming like some people make out.

Yeah, way way better than SOT, although there are a lot of similarities since Goodkind ripped off WOT in a big way, from what I remember. http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/A_beginning Keep that bookmarked at all times, it's almost impossible to keep track of all the subplots and side characters...

So basically, people are bitching because it doesn't fit some idealized view of the character they had from the comics?

I thought it was a really good ending, not quite as engrossing a movie as TDK was, but easily on par with Begins and a satisfying conclusion to the series. This movie was always gonna catch a lot of flack, they could have organized for Anne Hathaway to personally blow each and every film goer...

I'd take 1 of GRRM's worst books every 10 years over 1 of Salvatore's best books every year, no contest.

Seriously? You guys are that far behind? And they wonder why people torrent everything. Anyway, spoilered.
