An immutable universe makes free will an illusion. If free will is an illusion. It is one I prefer to keep.

Time travel triggers the deutsch proposition. No alian has cracked FTL

Don't be ridiculous. FTL is impossible. The theory of relativity is immutable.

No some of the aliens don't know the government has superheros. So they come to attack us.

Those are aliens.

All stars are the same color. You are just detecting doppler shift. The fact that a star is moving away from us changes its color not its heat.

I am interested if he will be able to have a relationship with his aunt Jasnah and what that relationship will be like.

We IDed them and put them on the coppermind if you don't want to hunt them all down yourself. I really liked Edgedancer. It shows the real power of someone who has enough empathy to sympathize with a murderous madman.

That does not seem logical. One data point does not make any kind of sequence. Also considering that it is an interlude your belief seems less likely.

Welcome to the shard. Are you interested in doing ten different teams? -
Enough hits and plate will be destroyed. Spren also can't usually be killed very easily.

Why Radiants are incredibly overpowered, and Mistborn aren't.

Does not really help in a crowded city. -

Karger replied to Frustration's topic in Cosmere Discussion
It is a rouge vs fighter matchup. In open combat even a poorly trained Radiant will be a match for your average Mistborn but if you put the best Mistborn against the best radiant inside a crazy area like a city the odds begin to swing the other way. -
I don't read the WoB that way. It make more sense(to me at least) that Lerasas was moving the people he snapped around rather then the magic system itself.

Way of Kings Prime Full Spoiler Discussion
Karger replied to Use the Falchion's topic in Way of Kings Prime
This I absolutely agree with. However Yeah except the dark archer is an inverse. Someone who gave into seeing his enemies like target signs. Arrow is a much darker character so he needs a much darker villain. Kaladin is not like that so he needs a more arrogant antagonist. Someone who reminds him of where he could be and why he should not be there. Every member of the team(except Widow and Halkeye) was already past that stage from their own movies(and it looks like we will see where Widow got it from in her movie). Sadeas's reveal during WoKs is actually quite devastating(at least for me). Meridas did not have exactly personal honor IMO he just knew better then to break his word. -

We are after all perhaps 2 out of the maybe 300 people who have now read it. True. I am really just ashamed that we will never get to see him get what he deserves. So this is my two cents. Big name villains come in two types. The first is the inverse. The inverse is the mirror image of the hero. Since you are a DC fan think reverse flash. Where the hero fights to conquer himself the mirror tries unceasingly to get himself conquered. This hero can be powerful and threatening but they generally are not able to break the hero the way the second type can. They are good foils for the hero but they tend to be defeated during the approach to the cave. The second is the crusher. The crusher fully understands who and what the hero is but rejects them and what they stand for. Good DC version of this include Lex Luther(the good ones that fully understand and account for superman's goals and ideology) and Joker(from the nolen movies). Both really get their opponents yet reject them. Luther will never be able to act in an interest that does not benefit Luther. Joker will never stop trying to prove that man is a wolf to man no matter what. Meridas is the second type. He gets Jasnah in ways her lower level enemies don't. However because he defines her by her capacity and goals rather then what she ultimately believes in he will eventually loose. SA as we have it the Heroes are still learning. They are still figuring out what they stand for. None of them are really ready for a crusher. If Jasnah had been less competent Meridas would not have been nearly as threatening. Jasnah's tactical ability is fully evident during SA. The way she out poisons Kabsal, worked her way out of assassination, traveled through shadesmar, fought during Theylen fields, and deduced both Renarin's abilities as well as what he needed are all clear examples of this. Jasnah is also quite stoic. Imagine being super out of shape and then going backpacking. I can tell you from a camping experience that doing so is not fun. She remains determined to do what is right rather then what she wants to do. She sounds and acts pretty stoic to me. I thought you meant they would have trouble reading it. -
He could be referencing my new favorite SA ship. Alternatively it could just be Heraldic interactions. Heralds doing stuff. Who they are why they act certain ways. Stuff about there personalities.

Most opinions I have seen are that this references Kaladin at the battle of the tower. The fallen title could have been in reference to Dalinar reclaiming highprince of war status immediately afterwards. The Spear is obviously there as are the crown and tower. Also WoR was originally titled Highprince of War

I did not know I needed them but I did. It is just that simple. Alright Taln I am backing off. My celebrity crush is yours. You are the one man on Roshar who deserves her. I also had a lot of different feelings. I thought their final scene was handled really well. I am glad that even then Elhokar was more paranoid and imperious then actually evil. Really? I think it would make perfect sense. Agreed. I hope we get a Mr T flashback like that. Meridas made me feel like I needed to take a shower. Also I hated that he managed to get the better of Jasnah. I hope she can arrange for his murder soon. I am not sure how I feel about making him deaf. Still he certainly was evil and scary. Here is my review. -
So while reading WoKp I found myself making an odd observation. I found myself a huge fan of the budding Taln Jasnah romance. It was something I had no idea I needed. Then I relized something else. Jasnah's no longer cannon story mirrors her mother's cannon one. Both woman had mothers who eventually underwent some form of dementia and died somewhat young. Both fell for passionate young soldiers but picked other people for political reasons. Both had important roles in founding Alethkar politically and setting up bureaucracy while their husbands were off fighting wars. They both hated(or at least disliked) their husbands but still supported them. Let me know any odd observations you made below

It could also be for "environmental" reasons or simply because doing so is disruptive.
