Due to budget cuts you will need to sign a waiver and allow your right arm to be cut off. There will be only one take.

Is there ever any canon source on what the purpose of the True Blood society was for? I always thought it was implied they were Dark Friend hunters, but I'm not sure if I read it in some non-main-book source or just came up with it in my head years ago.

One of the Aiel societies? I don't think most of them have any kind of additional description though.

Heirn is among the first Aiel we meet and is Tain Shari (True Blood), but I don't remember anything mentioned about them or interactions with Maidens or the other societies we get more exposure to. I haven't looked at my big book of bad art in a long time though, maybe there's something in there.

I know there's some fan-fic stuff about them from WOT Muds and PNP settings, but I really doubt that was sourced from canon.

Man, prologues really got out of hand as the series went on. The prologue for Knife of Dreams is almost 1/7th of the book.

There's nothing like being 4 hours into an audiobook and hearing "The Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and go..."

just had that happen in book 7. was really confused that after Pedron ate poo poo the book seemed to be starting.

hot take....maybe there is no need for prologues if an important tertiary character is gonna die.

also i thought "wow siuan looks young" but googled and Sophie Okonedo is 52 so they've already got that part of the character down pat

How old is Min? I always had a vague notion she was a few years older than Rand.

So does the Liandrin casting confirm they’re doing Book 2 in the first season, or was she in NS? Kerene was from NS.

^^^ She is a couple years older.

e: also how the heck do you cast Liandrin before Elayne?

She's like 5 years older or something, about where Nynaeve is. It's kinda interesting that in the early book dynamic she fits in with the younger girls.

Oh, Kerene is a character from New Spring? Don't remember her at all.

So seems like at this point they're mixing New Spring, Book 1, and Book 2 into Season 1. Which makes sense considering they probably have to do a lot of rethinking and adaptation to make this poo poo work in a sensible amount of seasons.

i legit just wish i knew a premiere date at this point because waiting for this to happen is gonna be torture.

I hope they continue with their racially blind castings. Cast a blonde as Tuon, black Elayne, black Selucia, pale red heads as sea folk, any race for Aiel etc. It will be entertaining to continue to see people get offended.

Where is this being filmed? Wondering if it's in a place like New Zealand that isn't a hell hole right now.

Though even if so you still have to fly the actors and actors aren't flying so I imagine production is shut down for the foreseeable future.

I've only seen her in Hotel Rwanda, where she was very good but it was hardly the same character.

Our government made an exception for Avatar. If they made the right noises, and a healthy contribution to our economy, i would imagine they could film here too.
