WARNING!!!  WHEEL OF TIME SPOILERS AHEAD!!  DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT
MADE IT THROUGH CROWN OF SWORDS!!

I would disagree.  While the boy has gotten a little more nasty, he's also
gotten a lot more mature.  His worst part was around books four or five,
but I think that he's getting lots better.  He still helps Rand out,
and not just because he's the Dragon Reborn, but because he still
considers him a friend.  I somehow don't see Mat doing everything he's
done just out of fear of the Dragon.  He goes out of his way to help the
women, even when they're nothing but total ungrateful bitches to him.  And
of course, he basically adopts an orphan boy, with no benefit to himself.
I'd hardly call that 'looking out for mostly himself'.

Yeah, but I think that he's colder than he needs to be.  Not that I blame
the poor boy...

Umm...have you read Book 7?  Lan is definately not 'off somewhere', and so
far, well...let's just say that Nynaeve's temper doesn't seem to be
getting better.

Yeah, I admit that Elayne needs her fair share.  Hmmph...last one...she
was the first one to even _admit_ that she loved him!

Well, what I read was actually kind of an attempt to make WOT a kind of
comedy...replacing Trollocs with fanboys, and that kind of thing...I
didn't read a whole lot, though, as the page didn't have the proper kind
of text wrapping...I hate that.

Actually, because I heard of the crossover before I started the series, I
have gone through the whole thing picturing the characters as Ranma (and
some other anime) characters.  A bit different than how (whoever wrote the
Xover) had them...I like mine better, though.  I especially like picturing
Siuan Sanche as Nodoka and Gareth Bryne as Genma...^_^



OKAY, THE SPOILERS ARE OVER!!  REPEAT, THE SPOILERS ARE OVER!!

ARGH!  No kidding!  I think what I hate most about Sasuke is the
implication that the great and noble scion of the house of Kuno would
_employ_ such a bumbling moron...

Well...Since Ranma's probably listed as Male on his birth certificate,
they could just forge a document for the female side (with Nabiki's
connections, of course) and get a marriage license that way...then there
wouldn't be any pesky bigamy charges against Ranma...Then all three could
live together as one big happy family...Ranma would get Akane, Ryoga would
get Akane, and Ranma and Ryoga would get each other!  Everyone would be
happy!  Not to mention there would never be any lack of fun in their sex
lives...O_O
