Peet Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) The latest glimpse reminds me of something Taravangian could say. He's definitely acting to get rid of the leaders of the world he feels would be detrimental to his plans of saving it. I can see how it could just as well be Kaladin. Edit: beaten to the punch :-) Edited February 20, 2014 by Peet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+eveorjoy Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Dalinar used a similar metaphor as well. He just used it incorrectly. It could be Kaladin. It could be Taravangian. However, I think we will be surprised by who actually says this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aminar Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 This sounds like Kaladin... Or at least someone explaining things to Kaladin. It's quite possibly Kal arguing against Sadeas and or Amaram. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natans Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Looks one of Mr. T to me, by the way that he talks him are a much more probably suspect. Kaladin don't believe in the "greater good" like Mr. T does. And sacrifice something to save the rest looks much more a thing that Mr. T would do. Kaladin probaly would try(and succeed) save the hand, he woundn't give up. this is kind his theme (i see him as a "determinator"). Mr. T would sell his mother if that would help him succeed =) Edited February 20, 2014 by Natans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmingly Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Kaladin. Surgical metaphor, and trying to use cold surgical logic to argue against his own honourable instincts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaladin Kal Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I guess it might be Kaladin or Jasnah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormLight_Luc Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Actually one of the preview chapters explicitly shows the process. This doesn't seem to be the same thing. Which one? Must have missed it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AerionBFII Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 "What do you do if the hand is festering, threatening the entire body? Do you wait and hope it get's better,or do you act?" I believe it could either be; Kaladin (The Surgical metaphor makes me lean this way but i find it hard to believe Kaladin could easily sacrifice anybody for any reason he seems to be big on taking the high road,) Mr.T (I can imagine him because he seems to be the type to believe the ends justify the means.) Amaram (he might see Kaladin as Dalinars new right hand and believes him to be infecting Dalinar) These glimpses are delicious torture. 12 days Hahaha i think this everything a new Glimpse comes out!

Aleksiel Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I think it's Dalinar trying to make another medical metaphor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuantumHarmonix Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 It could also be Lirin. My one reservation about it being Lirin, is that it seems a bit to dark for his point of view. Although that might have changed after what happened to his sons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleksiel Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 What was the first one? WoR chapter 5: I still wonder if I should have announced it all at once.

marianmi Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 "What do you do if the hand is festering, threatening the entire body? Do you wait and hope it gets better, or do you act?" I think it's clear that it's Amaram explaining things to Kaladin using a language that he could understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Aletus Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I kind of think a conversation between those two would be a little more heated than doctor-banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AerionBFII Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 This addiction I have to The Stormlight Archive is physically painful I thought it would be easier to deal with it once the release was closer...how wrong I was. It has peaked. I might die before it's release or from the shock of the actual release. Ive never been a particularly religious man but I prayed frequently by some miracle the release date is moved forward but it has been in vein. Maybe I will have to retread yet again to sedate my dirty little secret.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sh3phrd Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I would say, that because of the very medical nature of the comment, it would have to be said from one medic to another. To me this says Kaladin is probably talking to himself again , though I will hold to a slim hope that it could be coming to or from Lirin...
