THE WHEEL OF TIME readers, head count please!!!

[moiraine03]

grabe, ang hirap talaga kapag nakakapag-net lang ako tuwing weekend pag umuuwi ako sa min. ang dami ko'ng na-miss!!!

anyway, moiraine, i don't know if there's a moiraine1 and/or moiraine2. pinili ko lang yung moiraine03 kse fave number ko yun. i bet, ikaw din, classy lady din!!!

i am totally against making a movie version out of great books. lalo na kung series. yung lord of the rings diba nga raw, ongoing na yung shooting for the movie? or so i heard.

pero kung matching the characters with actual actors, fun yun. tama kayo, heather graham na lang kesa kay sarah michelle gellar for elayne. gellar does not have the bearing that elayne possesses. mas cute si ethan hawke pero parang mas bagay kay kevin bacon kse mas makulit yung itsura nya. naughty ba. janeane garofalo for nynaeve? puede. she has the same spunk that nynaeve has. oo nga,sino kaya bagay mag-portray na rand? hmm... somebody with rugged good looks. yung hindi drop dead gorgeous pero may dating. may bearing. hay... sino kaya?

i don't find perrin boring. i think he's really cool! grabe, biruin mo, he can smell the feelings of people. may night vision pa! ang galing talaga!

yep, medyo nakakainis na nga yung character ni faile. wala ng ginawa kundi mag-selos kay perrin. si perrin naman walang magawa. hay...

ang galing-galing!!! ang dami ko'ng nalalaman from all of you!

kelan ako na-addict sa wot? yung pinsan ko, pinabasa sa kin yung great hunt -- kse i read all kinds of books. tapos ayun, nagustuhan ko sobra and i finished reading all books before she even got to finish the first three!!! ang saya grabe!!! kaya nga, i can't wait for the next book to come out. 5 books pa? carry! at least, i cud share the experience with my kids (pro masyado pa silang bata nun... oh well).

mabuhay tayong lahat!

Favorite character ko si Mat!

I like him coz he's a rascal and all that. I like the way he likes to break rules and stuff, not to mention that he's about the only person left in WoT who isn't over his head. By that I mean he can still have fun and take things easy, even if he doesn't like them. Everybody else seems so serious about whatever roles they have cast themselves into.

Hi folks. Just acknowledging that I, too, am a Robert Jordan fan. I've read all his books at least twice.

Let me make a few predictions:

a) Egwene will be the Amyrlin Seat
b) Rand will end up with Elayne
c) Aviendha will be the Head of all the Wise Ones
d) Nynaeve will cleanse the taint of saidin
e) Elayne's kingdom will be "destroyed" in the sense that boundaries will be torn down and maps rewritten.
f) Min will die
g) Faile and Perrin will die together
h) Mat will end up some kind of Lord Protector of the Amyrlin Seat
i) Moiraine is NOT dead, and neither is Lanfear
j) Rand will die, but that won't be the end of him, as I think Jordan may start to tinker with our notions of "death"
k) The world within the mirrors will be more important
l) Rand will unite all races (including the Seanchan), but the greatest danger of all is yet to be faced

That's about it for my prognostications for now.

welcome back moiraine03! wow, dami mo sinabi ah, haha, I'm sure pag balik ni Moiraine enjoy nanaman ang usapan. *PAGING MOIRAINE!* huy asan ka na?

aticus yup, I agree, di pa patay si Moiraine. something just doesn't feel right about her dying the way she did. I wouldn't be surprised if she appears again during a crucial moment just like Gandalf did in LOTR. What you said about min dying....hmmmm, di ko ma explain pero it feels right eh....can you elaborate how you came to that conclusion?

Faile and Perrin dying together......why?

[brownpau]

One more prediction: Berelain will end up with Galad. (And they deserve each other. Saucy vamp with goody two shoes royal pain in the arse.) Min saw it in one of her viewings of Berelain; she would fall in love with a handsome man dressed in white. Eh, `di ba Whitecloak si Galad?

[Moiraine]

Hi PauTOT! Haven't been able to read much less post lately, end of the sem na so eto last-minute girl strikes again May exam ako mamayang 10, I planned to read kaninang madaling araw pero nag brownout from 1-6 am Buti nalang medyo nag review na ako.

moiraine03 welcome back! aticus hello! vajula sana si Mat lumabas na sa WH!

brownpau I think so too, pero meron nagsabi that that man in white could be referring to to Perrin too, or a gaishan

I'll see you guys again after my exam (and before my doing papers Ms. Damodred)!

Comment lang... I don't think Jeannine Garofalo can play Nynaeve coz she's quite small, considering Nynaeve is supposedly taller than Egwene.

I would really love to see Michelle Pfeiffer as Moiraine... this time though the problem is that Michelle Pfeiffer is tall while Moiraine is like a petite 5 feet I think.

I liked Fires of Heaven the best, especially the scene where Moiraine "supposedly" died with Lanfear (I actually cried). I miss Moiraine! I also miss the next books, they seem to be taking longer and longer considering they seem shorter and shorter.

[aticus]

I believe Min will die because I think it will advance the emotional pathos of the series more if SOMEONE we like dies... and Min is the only one of the three who love Rand who is really willing to sacrifice for him and is street-smart enough to know it may help him in the end. I wouldn't be surprised if she "saw" his imminent death and tried to change her viewing by sacrificing herself for him somehow. Not sure it will work though, bec. I'm convinced Rand will die, but again I'm also convinced that Robert Jordan will play around with the concept of "death" as another world or state of existence. I think, with Rand's power, and the power of saidin, he CAN cheat death. It will be interesting to see.

As for Faile and Perrin dying together, I can't see the two of them continuing to co-exist with Rand around. I think that Perrin's principles are too much to be able to take Rand's necessary sacrifices (maybe Rand ordering a friend to die, or something like that...). I believe Perrin will stand AGAINST Rand sometime soon, and not just in words, either. I think Perrin will feel Rand has gone truly mad and try to stop him, and Faile will try to help. Perrin and Faile will die together, if at all.

But I do believe that his dying may just be another way to help Rand cheat his ultimate death. (Sort of like this... Perrin goes to the "death world" and Rand follows. Perrin, Faile and Rand are trapped, but there is a way out, IF one stays behind... and that one will be... FAILE! Though Perrin won't like it, I think she'll sacrifice herself for him...) Lots of plot twists in my head, maybe develop more of them later...

[moiraine03]

grabe, aticus, ang galing mo mag-predict! although of course, di pa natin alam for sure kung totoo yung mga predictions mo pero they sound really feasible. r u related to robert jordan in anyway?
i agree na hindi pa patay si moiraine. syempre lang no! moiraine lives!

[jopert]

*off topic*

hello moiraine03! how is life treating you lately?

nde mo sinabe saken nag Pe PEx ka na ren! sabi mo dati ayaw mo!

[Moiraine]

Hi guys, I miss this thread! I hope with Winter's Heart we'll have more to say and discuss.

Winter's Heart went on sale yesterday (November 7) in the States, but it was available even earlier in Europe! How is that?? I don't think we're lucky enough for the same thing to happen here... anyway when you see it available here PLEASE tell the rest. And whoever reads it PLEASE lang warn the readers if there's going to be spoilers! I don't think I've forgiven the guy who let slip that Moiraine 'died' in book 5.

I was right, Jordan has spoiled other fantasy books for me. I read Eddings' Belgarad and while it was funny and ok at times, I couldn't help but compare it to WoT allthe time (with Belgarad coming up short of course). vajula thanks for the tip, I think I'll try Terry Goodkind, from what you say it'll read the same as WoT. I first read WoT in October 1998. I finished the first seven books a few months before PoD came out so I had to wait to get my fix of Aes Sedai and Ashaman.

Genius 101 I like your idea of Michelle Pfeiffer! I can imagine her face getting so cold and Aes Sedai-like. Pero I can't erase in my mind the Moiraine on the cover of EoTW, chumamba si Sweet, I think Moiraine is his best representation.

aticus I agree with some of your 'prognostications.' I thought "Faile and Perrin will die together" was wishful thinking because you couldn't stand them both, personally I wouldn't mind Faile dying... How do you figure Mat ending up as some kind of Lord Protector of the Amyrlin Seat? I'd like to see this since as a Warder he would live longer but I can't see it happening if he's still married to the Daughter of the Nine Moons.

Speaking of living longer, one thing that's been bothering me... say all goes well, the DO loses in TG, things go back to normal, Egwene et al become Aes Sedai, and Mat and Perrin live out their lives, their short lives... I just find it kind of sad when I think that Egwene and Nynaeve will have to see Mat and Perrin die and outlive all the other non-channeling characters in the book by centuries.

PauTOT I still can't think of anybody to play Rand, or anybody else! It's so hard to think of real people when you already have an idea on what the characters look like. However, I do submit for your consideration Rebecca de Mornay hehehe. I saw her again in the 3 Musketeers, and I don't if it was because she was wearing a gown similar to what ladies in WoT might wear, or because she also had a scene where she pulled the hood of her cloak up, but I somehow think she has a place in WoT, just not exactly as who.

moiraine03 hi again! meron ka pang tagabati dito a To the other fans, gising!

[tRiStAn]

Nynaeve and Lan, Cadsuane, Birgitte, Verin, Aviendha and the Forsaken also appear while the first few chapters deal with Perrin and Faile (thankfully tapos non wala na )
