"Service enables service."

Foamfollower said this to Covenant in one of the books (can't remember which one). It's incredibly simple yet powerful. I want to get it tattooed on my upper right arm.

Yes, #2 is the definition I was after. Your question.

Hello? LoreMaster? Was that right?

Have you abandoned us and this scintillating (albeit rather slow-moving) trivia game? :cry:

Also, I think that instead of the begger just having a cup in LFB, he should be a street musician playing, "Heart of Gold." I just heard the best song to go with this idea! One of my favorite bands, Over the Rhine, has a song on their newest album called "Don't Wait for Tom" abo...

I understand your point, Danlo. I'm currently finishing re-re-reading the SCoTC and the description of Findail reminded me about the description of the beggar, which in turn got me following this line of speculation. :wink: While I am partial to my "Elohim-As-The-Old-Man" Theory (because i...

The Elohim rendering TC mute didn't harm him or prevent him from his actual goal; they foresaw his encounter w/Kaseryn, and silenced him w/the intent of protecting him, which it actually did. All that aside, there's still politics. We already know (from The One Tree) that some of the Elohim think th...

For the SCoTC

In the later half of the Second Chronicles, as Linden and Covenant grow closer together, this is the song I'd picture playing from Linden's perspective to Covenant (esp. toward the end of the third book!) "What I Remember Most (About Dying)" -Over the Rhine The saddest songs are the happie...

Been awhile since I've read the books from the FCoTC, but every time I hear this song, I think of *multiple* scenes from those three books: "Human" -Josh Joplin Group Gazing down on fields far away Staring out at all I see I've just returned from a war that was lost The only foe I had was ...

What if he's one of the Elohim who has somehow managed to transcend the barriers between the Land and our world? Without even going into any implications of the Last Series, look at it logistically: if the Lords (who are human) have learned the basic lore to bring someone to the land, is it not poss...

Rus, I too understand that a symphonic score is the best bet. (My vote is for Hans Zimmer... the man is a symphonic deity!!! :Hail:) Personally, I would love to see a film come up with an "alternative soundtrack" option on a special edition DVD (one that could have more "popular"...

Always wondered how Linden got away from being caught? Linden herself said that no one at the hospital came to check on her mother more than they had to, they didn't really care about her (she was "a fat whiner") and that they were basically just waiting for her to die. The fact that her ...

Linden's father's suicide really bothered me. I can't imagine anyone being so cruel to commit suicide in front of their 8-year-old daughter and then blame her for it.

You thought the Rape Scene was going to cause issues with the Covenant Movie... How they hell are they going to film the Real Story? In reality, you don't have to "show" very much at all. In fact, it will probably seem more horrific and violent that way. If most of the violence is shown i...

The GAP into Hollywood...

I don't know... IMO this film will never be made by "Hollywood" simply because it is so savage, blatant, violent, gritty, and (above all) true to the human condition. I venture to say that all of us here love the GAP series because of these very things. It is brutally honest and relentless...

I don't think of it so much as a soundtrack; when I hear certain songs, they remind me of different characters/scenes in the book. For examples: "Save Yourself" and "Everything I Touch", both by Stabbing Westward- I think of both Morn and Angus when I hear these: "I cannot s...

Okay, I know she doesn't act and I know she's too old, but just for shits and giggles, I think Tori Amos would be an interesting choice. Morn is a woman who can look completely broken and yet completely able and willing to eviscerate you at the same time. I've seen Tori have that kind of broken/wild...
