Marluxia posted:I'm not sure how people think it could have been written any better. The main change I would have made is to not have Liandrin push for the gentling before Moiraine shows up. That way, you show her seeing an opportunity and taking it. Maybe have another sister pushing for it to provoke the exposition on what Reds are, or figure out another way to fit in the "These are what the Ajahs do" talk. Marluxia posted:How was Siuan supposed to deflect it? No matter what, she had to hold trial on what Alanna, Liandrin and Moiraine did, which I'll note, Liandrin was the one who kept whispering to the other sister about prematurely gentling Logain AND took the reins on actually doing it after the aftermath, while everyone was afraid. So no matter what, Liandrin always gets an opportunity to raise the issue. Siuan can't just shut her down because of the point raised that she might be favouring her old ajah. So she had to outright ask Moiraine. As for Maigan and Moiraine, my complaints don't lie with them much. At least not in terms of the writing. They needed to lose so they lost.

Johnny Joestar posted:i don't know if demonstrating a lack of object permanence really helps your case exactly Yeah, I tend to go by a rule of if a work of fiction doesn't indicate in any way that a thing happened, I don't assume that thing happened. It's wild. Regardless, it doesn't matter because what she's really getting is a win in front of the audience. Even if I'm wrong and she is being punished, an alternate version where what she gets is out of punishment instead of damage to the Blues accomplishes the same thing. It shows the audience that she's a political threat.

So, according to a new interview with an Amazon Exec:Interivew posted:TVLINE: How soon after a show like Wheel of Time premieres do you at the office see things trending in such a very right direction? So, it sounds like WoT is actually picking up steam rather than losing it.

Honestly, I don't think Siaun was ever anything particularly special at politics, so her getting outmaneuvered there isn't really that bad. Prior to Egwene she was the youngest person ever to be chosen for the Amyrlin Seat, and as I understand it the main criteria behind her being elected to the Amyrlin Seat were "The past three Amyrlins have died of 'natural causes' after relatively short terms of office, so let's elect somebody young who will have the chance for a long period of stability" with an undercurrent of "... and if she dies of 'natural causes' after a short term in office then we'll know that somebody is murdering Amyrlins." She's not incompetent, but I've always felt that she was very much a blunt instrument as far as Amyrlins go.

Khizan posted:Honestly, I don't think Siaun was ever anything particularly special at politics, so her getting outmaneuvered there isn't really that bad. She had a blunt style for sure, but I think it was pretty well established in Salidar that she knew what she was doing. Not to mention that Egwene sees her as a mentor figure in that regard. I agree that it would be difficult to point to a scene or thing she did as an individual political masterpiece though so to each their own I guess.

She told each Sitter of the Hall that she was going to marry off Leane to a different ruler, and then when Leane got angry and confronted her she knew who the Black Ajah was, and cut off their beards.
