That is alot for 2 cents,  I think you owe me more.

Anyways, I agree that the dark ones prison will have to be resealed completely and not just patched in order for the wheel to continue on.  I am wondering how this will be done.  It is stated many times that the creator bound the dark one in his prison.  If this is true then wouldn't the creator have to rebind him.  If thats the case we are out of luck because the creator does not take a dirrect hand in events. 

I believe that it is also possible, if unlikely, that they will find some way to "break" the wheel, or maybe I should say "bend", that will end the cycle of the battle witht he Dark One and start a new story that will be repeated over and over again. :P 

Either way I do not think Rand will die. I think just the voice in his head will die.  If he dies it will be more like a Harry Potter death in which he dies but not really. :P

i was thinking of a Potter-esque death as well but for me that would be too predictable. I think it needs to be different,   Theres the whole thing about his blood on the rocks of SG so theres gonna at least be some serious bleeding if he wants to win, but from the start I never really took that to mean he died although thats what he seemed to think.

There has to be a way for it to be done, this isnt the 1st turning of the wheel so it had to have been done before although too long ago for even the slightest memory to remain. "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". Maybe they find a way to do it, maybe the creator does lend a hand (there was the voice at Tarwins Gap to kinda show that he/she/it is paying some kinda attention) but either way its been done on all the other turns of the wheel so it has to be done again somehow

Rand is my favorite character, primarly to his developmental process, but I'm not so sure that him living makes a good ending... Sure if he dies all be as close to tears as any book/movie can get me (probably more) but doesn't it cheapen the price of salvation? Anyway if Rand lives someone big has got to die!

P.S. I love Faile, I mean you have to have a twit everyone hates Mr. Rigney did that and she is a ******* (fill it in however you like). It's not human if everyone is likeable....

I always figured that the voices was our first instance of seeing Rand hearing the voice of Lews Therin.

That voice being Lews Therin doesn't make any sense, though, it just doesn't match at all with any of the kinds of things he says or how he says them.  The subject matter, coherency, volume, style, etc. are all completely different from Lews Therin and it's way too early - Rand hasn't channeled more than half a dozen times, ever, by that point.  Plus there's the whole "I can't interfere" part of it and dumping all the responsibility on the "chosen one".  That voice being the creator is the only explanation of it I've ever heard that makes any sense.

*runs off to check the book before saying anything*

the voice he hears at tarwins gap presents alot like the voice of the DO when the forsaken go to SG, with it being all in capitals and not from shouting just coz of the sheer force of the voice and with the way it vibrates his skull.  The fact hes not at SG and the fact its basically saying hes the 1 chosen to defeat the DO i think we can cross him off the list so that pretty much just leaves the creator. unless theres some other god-like powers that we haven't been told about lol

Too early for that, it's only the fourth or fifth time he channels.  If he started going insane that quickly he would have gotten a lot worse before Winter's Heart than he did.

Maybe he's not insane 'cause of the channeling. Maybe he just has a disease.
