Brandon Sanderson should write the last 1-3 books for every epic fantasy series. Avalanches as far as the eye can see!

A new Wheel of Time short story will be released in the "Unfettered" anthology. Spring 2013. Yes, it ties into #AMOL. http://goo.gl/uZR0J

River of Souls? That's the name of a lovely Babylon 5 movie.

There's a very popular theory that Nakomi is Verin.

Okay, that makes even less sense than Lanfear.

Apparently a lot of the phrases from her conversation with Aviendha (regarding the Aiel and their purpose) closely match what Verin was told by an Aiel way back in The Great Hunt.

The way I read Rand's comment on the Dark One not really being the enemy, is that is has to do with choice. Eliminating all evil from the world would also eliminate all real choice from the world, as Rand discovered in his vision. Ultimately the Dark One himself is relatively small and insignificant, he really only has as much power as the people of the world choose to give him (by breaking open his prison, choosing to serve him etc.). By sealing him away Rand keeps the wheel turning, but also allows mankind to live in a world where they have a meaningful choice between right and wrong. At least that's how I read it.

To be fair Sword of Truth almost made me want to swear off reading for good.
