She can still tempt him with glory and power. She can just do it while boning him.

This version of Rand is still devoted to Egwene more than the book version. Having her temptation fail entirely because of Another Woman is an even more perfect insult to Lanfear.

Rand sleeping with Aviendha (allegedly) is what sets Lanfear off on the docks, so it'll be neat to see how the whole thing changes in this turning. I suppose the boring route is "it only counts from after she started harassing him", but maybe they'll do something fun with it!

Jon from WoT Up! asked his source about some of the details regarding the leaked pilot script and they said there was supposed to be two sex scenes in the pilot: Rand and Egwene and Mat and Danya, the woman he jacked the bracelet from. Two sex scenes, focusing on female pleasure  Lanfear gonna put Rand to work.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq1e5oVyYSk

Some more evidence for Karima McAdams as a possible Selene/Lanfear. 12 weeks ago she made an instagram post from Morocco.  https://www.instagram.com/p/CU-BMiWKpMV/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Guy Roberts (Uno) wife, also a cast member in S2 liked this post The same place where WoT directors keep posting from and Judkins had to scout out  wotseries.com posted:On August 23rd, 2021, McAdams was abroad from London in order to start shooting on a secretive new series. Not much information beyond this is known; however, she is the same height as the body double used to stand in for a character we are quite certain is Selene (see tweet below for more information). Additionally, Sara spotted that McAdams is followed on social media by Ishamael actor, Fares Fares https://www.wotseries.com/2021/12/26/season-two-cast-melissa-james-jessica-boone-more/ https://twitter.com/geekyeri/status/1430257712453931008 Or could she be an Aviendha candidate??

Lead the dragon reborn around for a bunch of confrontations that will weaken the Dark One's prison further until people start figuring out their dreams, prophecies, etc have been getting manipulated for 3000 years. That would feed in nicely with Rand's eventual decision to head into the waste to forge his own destiny that we see in the books. posting from the future to say i am completely cool with the idea that the teevee show is a retelling of another cycle of the wheel; yeah it's a dark tower-type cop out but it means i get WOT on tv now so

Invalid Validation posted:You say that now and then we get to season four levels of GoT writing. Yeah, I have to agree with this (although it was S5 IIRC). We've spent a certain amount of time reassuring ourselves and others that WOT isn't going to be "the next Game of Thrones" in that regard specifically because unlike Thrones, the story is completely written and so the writers won't be making it up as they go along. That advantage is thrown away if they do start making poo poo up - I'm not talking about reasonable changes for adaptation here, but major plot deviations.

Even with major changes (which I don't anticipate), having the completed work available will be an advantage. Knowing where the original was going would make it so much easier to make changes work.

Sooo... how dumb is the White Tower to generally make any mention of the Black Ajah forbidden? Like... it's clearly a thing and has been for a long time. . You're the most powerful organization known, why wouldn't you consider yourselves to be the top target for infiltration? I don't remember ever really hearing about any efforts to combat this directly, it's all pretended to not exist, even inside the tower. I mean... an Amyrlin was straight up assassinated, along with more than a few sisters, and yet...??

I don’t see how that works. Darkfriends are a known phenomenon. It must be absolutely assumed that infiltration of the white tower is a top tier priority. Any hand waving or dismissiveness should probably warrant extra scrutiny.

They flat out refuse to believe there can be darkfriends as aes sedai, and feel that if general population talks about it they'll be unjustly assumed to all be evil. And as noted, the black ajah itself would be happy to do that too, and new sisters would all take the lead from veterans.

The female Aes Sedai are also incredibly self-important and look down upon anyone not a fellow sister. See how they treat any stilled sisters, as if they don't know everything that a regular sister would, they are treated as if they are just an untrained commoner. The problems of darkfriends in the rabble surely wouldn't touch the exalted aes sedai.

In New Spring Moiraine explicitly knows the Black Ajah has been killing people and it still only freshly dawns on her that it means they must have gotten around the three oaths. Like it comes as a huge revelation that Black sisters can lie. The institutional naivety (further fostered I'm sure by actual Black Ajah prerogatives) is a big thing in the White Tower. Plus it's not like there aren't countless modern institutions known to ignore inconvenient truths that might damage their reputation if its seen as something that would cause "undue" burden on the institution or its members.

Yeah, every loving institution that's filled with racists, rapists, murders, pedos, or whatever runs the same strategy of denying the existence of any of those in its ranks. And if any ARE caught, those were the only bad ones that existed, and now they're caught, so everyone can stop looking.

El Grillo posted:The plot exposition in the book is far later and much more gradually revealed. Assuming by 'plot exposition' you mean stuff about the Dragon, how the Power works, and all the boatload of infodump about the world and its history that the show put in early on. There's more info earlier on than in the show (Rand and Mat talk about Logain and men who can channel and stuff in the very first chapters, for example, and Moiraine goes into the five powers to Egwene early on) but also less in some ways, so it's kind of both?
