No reason for them to do that. I imagine they'll skip Fal Dara entirely and go straight to the no can't do that still need to pick up Min somewhere. Heck.

e: Okay no, they are definitely going to skip Fal Dara this season. They have literally none of the characters that show up there.

Min can show up palling around with Someshta, who gives a poo poo.

Cutting Hurin makes sense, since he's only important for one book. People in this thread have speculated having his role played by Min, which could work.

Giving her sniffer powers? Or maybe using her aura reading as a way to find the guilty and she's a bounty hunter?

I hope they keep the future reading, but i'm not sure how that can be done on TV.

Except we know they've filmed Fal Dara for S1: we've seen leaked black hawk on gold sigils, we've seen the 3 foxes banner, we've even had leaked casting for Ingtar (though, not the same person).

We've also seen extremely Fal Dara-ish cuts in the trailers.

They might just give Hurin's role to Uno, the deadline article describes him as: Roberts plays Uno Nomeshta, a gruff one-eyed soldier and tracker

Fal Dara with no Agelmar, Ingtar, Uno or Masema. Alright, sure.

So it's either entirely custom or they've moved some of the Baerlon stuff up to here. I don't know if there's anything from the start of tGH they could reasonably bring back.

If they're only casting Fal Dara castle characters for season 2, maybe the visit in season 1 just stays to the town itself as a Baerlon stand-in and they don't get invited in to the fortress itself until they return from the blight next season.

That's my assumption. And if they seal off mat's dagger sickness in the inn in tar valon, that would also make more sense. And it leads directly to the whole rand lordship thing which is going to kick off in season 2

There's shots of the group meeting with someone in Fal Dara. It's possible it is Agelmar but they recast the role for season 2, especially if they're going to be a reoccurring character. We'll find out in three weeks in either case.

So the bonus feature mentioned Accepted, but were there any in the episode? All I saw were novices in white, though I guess some of them could have been Accepted and they were just wearing white instead of the rainbow skirts.

How do you access the bonus features? On a PC, or can you do it through Prime Video? I want to show them to my wife and haven't found them with the small effort I've put in

The guy from the S1 trailer looks a lot like Thomas Chaanhing. I don't know why they took so long to announce the Agelmar role? There's no credits on his IMDB yet so :shrug:

I can't remember if I said it or not, but I fully expect Logain to get healed more quickly than he did in the books. Then we will get almost as much black tower intrigue between Logain and Taim as we do in the white tower

The brown ajah detective was on it. Thomas Chaanhing was shooting in Prague in September 2020 so he's def Agelmar in season 1 with no recasting. Sandra Yi Sencindiver was there too.

I don't see it happening that much quicker considering Nynaeve needs to be in a position to do Heal him and there's no way that happens until Logain's left the Tower. They might reduce Nynaeve and Elayne's trip to Salidar (please cut out the circus) but that's about all they can do

I posted this in the other thread, but I'd thought I'd post it here. I've watched through dozens of reactions/reviews from not book readers, and here are my favorites:

Reactions
  • Everyday Negroes - A bunch of friends chilling and watching a show together
  • Redlaytee - A big fantasy fan who pays a lot of very close attention and makes a ton of theories.
  • pReviewed - A couple of friends, one book reader, one not, who crack a bunch of jokes as they go through.

Review
  • Maidens of the Spear - A book reader asks about a non-booker reader's thoughts about the show. In jokes/terminology gets built, and the episodes are very long with predictions and stuff, so its a ton of fun.
  • Tori Talks - A couple of women who don't really like and consume much fantasy talk about their thoughts.
  • Nerdy Nightly - A couple of fantasy fans talk about their thoughts
I'm watching Everyday Negroes videos right now. I got to Episode 4, their reaction to Logain going super saiyan was amazing. They are perfect.

I just assumed they'd combine Julian/Hurin, or have Perrin fully take over the role.

But having Min with Rand could work? The Lanfear/Min dynamic in the portal stones would be different that's for sure.

I feel like the Portal Stone scene is important for Rand taking lead. With Min there I don't know how well he grows into that role while also maintaining who Min is as a character

It is very funny and simultaneously not funny at all that while everyone else is off fighting wars and such that Elayne and Nyn's big book 5 adventure is... being stuck together in a wagon for too long. :laugh:

PS No one thinks its Rand. Generic boring white guy. He's done nothing but complain, and one time busted a door down. You have a badass wisdom who 1v1'd a trolloc with a knife, tracked down loving LAN, is being courted by multiple Aes Sedai to join their faction, AOE healed like 30 people at once, and was told she might be the most powerful channeler alive.
You have wolfpack Perrin who isn't AS cool, but has wolves following him and has golden eyes and seems like he's interesting.
You have Mat with the dagger, he's funny and interesting, he appears to be puking black/ maybe channeling?
You have Egwene who is smart with a backbone of steel. She won't cow down to the whitecloaks and cleverly helps Perrin escape.
People are going to be so disappointed at the Rand reveal lol.

The thing about Rand as the dragon reveal bit, is that there's been a lot more hints pointing at him. If I recall, more than anyone else. They're just subtle. In fact, the first hint of any of them is at Rand directly.

Moiraine speaking directly to Rand: "They've come for the same reason I have. For you."

Cuts directly to Rand's face
