The Great Ordeal / Re: [TGO Spoilers] The Prince of Hate

Off the wall idea: could Cnaiur be a skin spy?  Not saying I believe it, but it seems skin spies have gone rogue in the past.

Perhaps what she let happen was allow intervention of the Gods, which Kehllus knew would eventually happen.  Just as he conditioned Saubon and Proyas (sorry, have  the audiobook, forgive my spelling) so too has Kellhus laid the ground work for godly destruction of Momem.  Such, he implying to  Esmi that he was false, and the Gods were against him, ensuring the Thousand Temples is remade to reflect something true.

The Great Ordeal / Re: [TGO Spoilers] Kellhus

Are the Zayumi the 144k souls (or the tribe of man who did not cross the mountains)? The Gods have been established as total d bags, and so far we have found what? Two people who are cool with the Gods?  Mimara and The Survivor (and Kellhus' reasons can't be seen to the Gods, or the reader).  Perhaps what Kellhus said was true, and the Gods do feed on damnation, so the Consult is evil, no doubt about that, but they work for good because the Gods are equally (or perhaps, more) evil.  Perhaps by bringing about the Apocalypse it actually is a work of salvation from such evil beings, and all those who are born into it.

The Great Ordeal / Re: Who are the Dûnyain?

The Dunyain are a bunch of bad guys who were born into a world full of bad guys, who fight other bad guys, all while in the shadow of some really bad guys, and watched over by Gods...who are bad guys.

The Great Ordeal / [TGO Spoilers] Whale Mothers
« on: July 21, 2016, 01:29:24 am »
I'm confused and disturbed by many things in Great Ordeal.  But I do have to ask for further opinions on the Whale Mothers.  It was surmised or stated (I had the audiobook so I can't cite the passage) that Dunyain women are different from men, bred for breeding, and such much larger, less able to move around.  Yet Kellhus's 1/2 world born children, the girls at least, are either the hottest chick to ever spit sorcery, or a sranc-like being with superior intellect and the best dresses this side of Tim Gunn.  I can't wrap my head around how that whole thing works, or how the biology of the Dunyain male/females allows such.

[EDIT Madness: For title. I know it seems tedious but it's so members who browse the recent topics, unread posts, or see which was the most recent thread posted in don't inadvertently spoil themselves.]

Introduce Yourself / Hello
« on: September 01, 2015, 04:41:55 am »
I've never been a member of a discussion forum before, so this is a first.  I dig the books though, on my second read through (or perhaps listen, as I have them on audio), and figured it was time to switch from lurker to lurker with a name.  Thanks again!
