That's a still picture they're not saying anything.

Sheriam's actress thing was, uh, something else I'm glad she went with the creative route. She seems like she will be able to pull off the nice grandma serial killer thing pretty well though.

The Maidens exchanged blank looks. Finally Somara said "What happened with the pond? Surely the water is the point of this story."

Throwing up his hands, Rand started for the red-striped pavilion again. Behind him he heard Liah say, "I think it was supposed to be a joke."

"How can we laugh when he doesn't know what happened to the water?" Maira said.

"It was the rooster," Enaila put in. "Wetlander humor is strange. I think it was something about the rooster."

He tried to stop listening.

Have you seen Hunt for the Wilderpeople? She was great in that, and I think she has enough range to pull it off. Though I don't know that we ever really see Sheriam do a lot evil, Gray Man aside

Sheriam is great. I have no complaints about any of the casting thus far.

I changed my opinion that the set in the video is the stone. I now think it's the testing chamber in the basement of the tower.

I'm 50% certain of a June/July release based upon there being gently caress all in prime video's schedule for those months currently and also the return of wot wednesday, but the pessimist in me believes amazon will hold it til november so wot and rop can run back to back years :ohdear:

Turns out there's another continent between Shara and Seanchan. They've spent the last three thousand years inventing nukes while we've not advanced past chamber pots. They tossed a few into that volcano and fixed the problem about five minutes after the last battle started.

But now they've made us sign a usurious contract to pay for rebuilding our country and Elaida embezzled half our GDP so now we're worse off than we were before.

Hot new speculation just dropped on what could be our first look at Lanfear





These images are clipped out of a larger video that Narg posted on instagram that appears to be from the same Foregate melee/fire/explosions from the official sizzle reel.

The thatched roofs are the same but there's this woman that's wandering through and flicking her hand while everyone is cowering in fear. The speculation being: since we know Thom isn't in season 2, Rand needs a guide to show him around Cairhien and that guide will be Lanfear/Selene. She gets mad or jealous about something and starts blowing poo poo up, or maybe just defends him from the Trolloc/puppet attack :shrug:

Probably a good time to repost these reddit leaks from over a year ago that appear to show Natasha O'Keeffe lookin a lot like Lanfear in some kind of bloody scene which would seemingly correspond to the bloody hand that Ishy holds in various teasers.







I asked Jon the Wot Up! guy why he never commented on these images or made a video about them and he said he was asked by "important people" not to.

I was thinking wait, Thom isn't in season 2? Then I realised I can't remember when he comes back in the books. I think it's when Rand passes through Cairhein and accidentally does Game of Houses stuff, which is book 2 right?

Yup and I will be sad if we lose Thom, but to be fair he only has a bit part in 2 before showing up drunk and angry in 3


And a Thom bit part means kicking off a civil war because he loving owns

It’s weird there’s so much spoiler hiding about a series that’s a mostly known quantity lore wise and anyone who would care is already a book reader.

I dunno, I think you're significantly underestimating the reach and viewership of the show, and overestimating how many people have read the books at all, and more specifically, read them recently enough to remember details.

It'd be pretty twisty for Siuan to be hanging out with Mat to save Moiraine, though. Unless you're excising Mat from it entirely which would be, uh... weird.

Is Caroline even relevant outside of book 7 during Fains attack? I only remember her in a few scenes outside that, and then only to be a background character. Obviously they could increase her role too, but just curious really.
