Amen to that, if all the kings, queens, empresses, dukes, duchess, lords, ladies, and etc need to realize this and work with him.  Imagine a world where men and women communicated enough to actually understand most of the situation?  Things might actually get done in Randland.

 

But could you imagine how dull that would make the series?   :-\

 

It wouldn't be dull, because at that point you could start throwing all sorts of different monkey wrenches into the plans of The Forces of Light. There is still plenty of BS the Shadow could do.

I can imagine a world like that. It's all about the black and white, the nonstop action of everyone evil fighting in the light of day against everyone good, which is... boring and overdone, courtesy of Hollywood. Good storytelling, IMO, requires some element of politics and personal friction between the good guys.

 

True, but those Emond's Fielders are uncommon close-mouthed.  Not a one of them will talk about *feelings* unless it's dragged out of them.  I think this may be where Nynaeve's new found maturity might be headed, and perhaps, just maybe, Egwene might find some openness too.  She did kind of let the floodgates go against Elaida, hopefully she'll discover she can get stuff done by being open with people.
