First off I don't buy that Mazrim Taim is one of the Chosen. He would have been mentioned in the scenes leading to that battle at Shadar Logoth. I do however think that he's a darkfriend and that Nynaeve Al'Maera and Elayne Trakand are idiots.

The two balck sisters that got killed in in the stone of Tear mentioned a plot to free Taim. Nynaev is so busy getting in bed with Lan, and Elayne is so worked up trying to get a piece of lovin from Rand that neither one has thought of that since they got to Caemlyn. "Hmmm... should I worry about getting knocked up by Rand, or the fact that a guy with reason to be saved from stilling by the BLACK AJAH is the leader of a military compound full of men that can channel within the borders (light right near the bloody Capital City) of my nation. Well better try to get some mattress time with Rand."

One would think that someone should have mentioned this to Rand by now huh?

Logain has glories in his future right. What greater glory is their for this man than to save the Dragon bloody Reborn and make sure that he finished what Logain thought he was supposed to start? I think he'll be the one to take down Taim and make sure Rand makes a cameo at Tarmon Gaidon.

Cadsuane will have the job of spear heading the united workings of Ashamon and Aes Sedai. Who better than oldest one around to do it?

With the Balck and White towers working in unison the ability to channel (safe for both genders now) will be bred back into humanity and there will be a new age of legends (depending on what's left after Rand breaks the world again who knows).

By the way not that this has anything to do with the major plot threads but I have a feeling that since we now officially have lesbians in this story we'll get gay men pretty soon. I'm sure that the first ones will be from the Black Tower.

I also see that the Black Tower might divide into Ajah-esque sub-societies to handle different chores kinda like the White Tower.

I think we might also start seeing some more multi-directional bonding. Perhaps an Ashamon bonding an Aes Sedai who bonds him back. Maybe some triangular bonding (with the one power and clothing kept on, get your mind out've the gutter).
