i'm just gonna assume it's tel'a'rhan'rhiod until something that is in the show proper, and not an x-ray trivia fact, tells me otherwise

Yeah, the X-Ray people may not be 100% right. For instance, there's reference to the Blues still "pursuing causes" in some of the notes while what we see on screen makes it clear the Blues in the show are the Tower's intelligence service. I'm sticking with the idea of it being TAR until I see or hear otherwise on screen, especially since the walls seemed hazy and dreamlike to me, above and beyond the idea of trying to keep a random hut in Tear secure for travelling back and forth to.

yeah TAR makes the most sense, especially given how it seems to obey literal dream logic: they have everything they need, they have no worries about security, etc

They just don't know how dangerous it is!

I hope the show ends up going all-in on the aes sedai not knowing anywhere near as much as they think they do.

No need for that gateway nonsense, I've found this great subterranean power source beneath this island, we just need to Bore out way down there, it'll be easy.

They were right about it being powerful and usable by both men and women, they just didn't know it was controlled by the Dark One and the reservoir of it was his crib

Hargrimm posted:It is really strange though that, with the Tower not knowing about Traveling or even Skimming yet, those paintings are the only safe method of faster-than-horse travel that Aes Sedai have access to, and they're just used for quick access to the Seat's personal hookup spot. Like it really reflects super badly on Siuan if she's comfortable keeping such a huge tool and research priority completely hidden away from everyone else. It's like if Alexander Graham Bell only ever bothered to build two telephones in secret, which he used exclusively to call up his mistress.

goethe.cx posted:That happened at the end, didn't it? Apparently it seals the Dark One away better It wasn't that it seals the dark on better, it prevented both halves of the source being tainted. They used the true power as a buffer so that the one power never actually touches the dark one this time.

silvergoose posted:I have to assume it's a change to set up future plot points without having to explain terangreal outright or something. The real reason is that they needed a flashy scene transition to make it not seem as boring since it’s just another boring scene of two people talking to each other. Abysmally bad writing to have the drive to climax of the season being that suiane had a dream we don’t even see.

I felt like it was about using the True Power to bend the pattern itself. Instead of plugging the hole with the One Power, witch lets the dark one rub up against it. It re-created what the creator did. Or else there'd be nothing to really bore a hole through in the next turning of the wheel.

it's been two decades but i thought i remember siuan using the power to decorate her chambers like back home, so i just assumed they were in her gussied up bedroom while watching the episode. did i make that part up in my head also the book wiki says it's the oath rod that gives the aes sedai the ageless look and actually cuts their lifespans in half, which i totally forgot. now that i think about it there may have been members of the kin that are super old
