The movie stuff might be interesting, but NOT in this thread please. Can we stay on the topic of Leech?

Yeah that tangent escalated quickly. It really got out of hand.

I just figured we didn't have much real info, so I didn't think it would be a huge problem.

My guess is we wont know for sure where this kid is committing for a LONG time. He'll be one of those big mystery guys who either blows up and never considers ISU again, or he stays a mystery until an official announcement is made by ISU.

Right now there's not much credible info, so we have to wait until ISU makes it official.

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.
I wish Robert Jordan could have finished the series, but I guess Brandon Sanderson did OK with it, though it felt like it ended a little abruptly with more chaos and fewer answers than I would have liked. (And yes, I suppose some would consider it poetic that the series ends but the Wheel still turns. Or something like that.)

Honestly, Jordan's story telling had slowed to a crawl, almost like a James Michener/Tom Clancy book, so having Sanderson come in to finish the series was a blessing. One could say the same about the Gunslinger series by Stephen King too.

Crap, I've derailed the same thread... again.

I absolutely love the Wheel of Time series but I think it was losing cohesion even during the last books Jordan penned. I think it would have been that much better if he had been in full health and realized how helpful a little more condensing would be. The stage was expertly set with the first several books, but then it seemed to get stretched a bit too much. Still love the series and they are all time favorites. I will always be grateful to Sanderson for finishing Jordan's vision as seamlessly as realistically possible.
