No, it didn't make any damn sense at all, Trassk. It was shoehorning Thrall into the role with the sole purpose of making him more grandiose and important.
I'm alright with him finding Nozdormu. I actually liked that part quite a bit. The part with Alexstrasza....was okay, but seemed really hammy when I was reading it. I mean, we're talking about Alexstrasza here. It was just all really conveniently written that Thrall had everything fall in his lap to right every wrong for them. "Oh Alexstrasza, trust me, I saw what REALLY happened with Korialstrasza because I did." "Oh, okay, I'm not sad anymore." I know that's simplifying it a LOT, but still.
And having Thrall involved with the Blue Dragonflight story could have been done without entirely. I felt that was just finding an excuse to stuff Thrall into every plot they could to bring the Dragonflights together.
And therein lies my issue. They put Thrall in the center of it all so all plots revolved around him, everything lived or died by Thrall and Thrall alone.
Had the Blue Flight resolved their issue and come to others of their own accord, with Thrall having found Nozdormu and brought back Alexstrasza, it would have been like multiple pieces coming together and Thrall being involved, even instrumental, instead of "all plots lead to Thrall."
