Most of what I remember of Egwene in Salidar is her getting bitched out by Romanda and Lelaine. I guess there's the bit where she fucks up Mierin, that was cool

did y'all collectively forget the bizarre ritual spanking that i hope to god is removed from the show or am i actually supposed to believe that egwene having a love interest somehow damages her character compared to that

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Both Gawyn and ritual spanking can be damaging to her character. These aren’t mutually exclusive.

You mean the part where she's crawling around at a Wise One tea party, naked and crying into the carpets, while the Aiel each take turns strapping her so she can meet her toh? I mean, Jordan takes the time to describe how bony Bair's ankles are as she grabs them so it's pretty on screen.

gah!!!! i must have skipped past this

pew pew pew


That scene starts after the last strapping has ended but before Egwene knows it, it shows her preparing for another bout and in doing so proving that she's got the heart of an Aiel and everyone says she has no toh towards them. It's not particularly gratuitous or anything, just describes what happened and how Egwene was ready to bear more of it and centers more on her character and how she's earned the respect of the Wise Ones than anything.

That scene sucks approximately 10 bajillion times less than the dream-Gawyn sequences or the secret-meetings-with-Gawyn sequences.

Which also, gratefully, happened off screen, mostly.

Has Rafe or anyone noted whether or not the very, very 90's corporal punishment is good view is being kept or not? I feel like they could easily enough remove it and just...not.

Considering the tone of the show is all about yay women and yay diversity I don't see them keeping the weird conservative hangups

Jordan had two kinks slip into his writing, all the spanking and coming up with reasons to write his female characters naked. And occasionally both at the same time. If the show was going to "naked it up" GoT style then one would think that scene in the teaser where Egwene comes out of the water in all the paint would be the perfect time to do it. But in the teaser she's fully dressed. So I'm inclined to think that there will be much less nudity, saving it for significant scenes rather than just tits hanging out all the time like GoT did. And by extension, I'd expect most if not all of the spanking will get binned as well.

Elayne and Aviendha doing the sister bonding is probably the only time nudity makes sense for the scene, all other times it's superfluous at best. So either cut all of it or I want to see one naked farm boy for each naked Aes Sedai/Wise One.

Funnily enough, the one half naked scene we did see in the teaser was half naked Rand and half naked Egwene together, so we're right on track for that so far!

We also know they're doing nude scenes for the Saldaean baths (because Daniel Henney said he had a nude hot tub scene coming up and that fits best).

My guess is a lot of tits and rear end but no dong / full frontal. They'll probably nix most of the spanking but it wouldn't suprrise me if they play up the Leashed Ones stuff with the Seanchan a lot.

The GoT fans seem like a bunch of cranky fuckers because their series is bad and will never be finished. As a Mature Sophisticated WoT fan I'm sure we'll handle it with style and aplomb.

I thought people were really good about not spoiling things in the TVIV threads. Book readers wanted to live vicariously through the unspoiled-non-book-readers reactions to the show. FYAD buying spoiler AVs, signatures, Banners, and renaming sub forums to spoilers is something else entirely.
