Somebody was asking about the original scripts for episodes 7&8 I cant remember if it was here or on twitter.

What we do have is a storyboard/concept art image of how the battle was supposed to go down. Looks like there was supposed to be a melee battle with channelers supporting.

I always thought the slightly-prudish social conservatism of the Emond's Fielders was kind of charming and an interesting point of perspective conflict as the characters adventured out into the wider world. I think they should have kept it in the show.

:shobon:


e: this is probably because I can really relate to it, as it was an arc that I went through in my own life and additionally I read through the WoT series for the first time while that was happening.
I was surprised to find out via the Nerdy Nightly guys that the Eamonds Field 5 (apart from Nynaeve) are nearly 20 years old at the start of the series. They definitely seemed 18 at most in the books due to the extreme level of repression and conservative values they've inherited. It really is charming in the books though. Would've been quite refreshing to see on TV if it was done well. But it seems they really wanted to avoid almost any suggestion of 'period' in terms of mannerisms, dialogue, and so on, which I suppose is a legit aesthetic choice

I don't think so but I can't find a quote on that.

But he's on several occasions described as being able to Get It.

So I don't know that it matters.

Yeah there's no way* he wasn't described as handsome, but I have no idea atm and that'd be funny if we all just read Lan and decide he was a hottie instead of Sloth or something.

willfully illiterate, aggressively miserable sourpuss whose sole raison d’etre is to put other people down for liking the wrong things
Lan's usually described as tall, stone-faced, angular and in amazing shape. I have no doubt he could get it but he's weirdly not one of the characters the text goes out of its way to call handsome unless you're in a Nynaeve POV or in New Spring where he was getting laid constantly.

Lan is noted as "this dude fucks" across a whole bunch of books but yeah NS goes into it more.

I believe Myrelle in the book where Egwene finds out she has Lan is like "yeah I'm sure this Nyneave thinks she's hot poo poo but a whole lot of women have tried to cuff this stud"

If you think you're gonna get sympathy from the shark, well then, you won't.


Also murder holes are almost always either in the ceiling of internal passages or part of the parapet because you don't want to weaken the structural integrity of the outer walls by poking holes in them, because *gestures vaguely at show*.

The way they've portrayed The One Power so far in the show has been a little bit wispy and slow. I hope they jazz it up as we move forward, it's hard to imagine the current way being quite right for a crazy battle like Dumai's Wells.
