Wonder if he's Trakand to elide over the whole 'Rand and Elayne share a half brother' thing

It really comes to basically nothing in the book outside of Rand stressing a bit while he researches it.

Fares Fares is a solid B list actor, they’re probably expanding his role :shrug:

Poor bastard got to do nothin but CGI jump scares in S1 and one dialogue episode.

They did well with Logains expanded role so I have high hopes for Ishy.

Probably doing some combining with Semirhage, too. She was the one messing with the Seanchan so if they're dropping some people that seems like a place to do it as most of it took place off screen.

You could probably combine Demandred with someone for the similar reasons; maybe Sammael, since he was the one most vocal about being Lews Therin's rival, and Demandred spends the whole last battle screaming for Lews Therin to come out and face him.

Nah let’s get soap opera. Demandred is written as being too messed up in the seal to survive exiting in his original body. Taim is a jerk and Bashere impulsively kills him, the dark one interferes and swaps Demandred into Taim’s body.

This video is 2 months old and has under 200 views.

That's not a comment at all about the content or his casting or anything but like, what the gently caress. It's a nearly 2 hour long video podcast with full professional kit and editing and has less than 200 views in 2 months.

And also, I mean, Suroth is a Darkfriend and the Seanchan would have to have been gearing up for the Return for quite some time before the non-Ishamael Forsaken got released. It's an entirely reasonable read that Ishy is responsible, and if you want to give a guy more screen time it's an obvious move.

Alivia maybe? If they're accelerating the plot lines it could make sense to introduce us to the seanchan through her. Like as Tuons personal bodyguard in season three or something.

Moggy's name in Salidar was Marigan and that's kinda close?

Rand that one time he went under cover so he could talk to Nynaeve in Caemlyn.

It's kinda insane how much story there is in Lord of Chaos. Egwene and Gawayne, the Aes Sedai embassies, Rand dealing with Andor, Nyneave healing stilling, and that's like the first half of the book.

Feels like the least focused yet most jampacked book so far. Feels cool even a little chaotic (irony).

Everytime I see his name I always remember the DO talking to him and the way it was all caps in the books: DEMANDRED :laugh: makes me laugh.

Some interesting tidbits from the ongoing 12 hour dissection by the dusty wheel is that there seems to be a voiceover/whisper saying: kill them all during one of Rand’s scene’s and the voiceover during the Perrin and Hopper scene is Elyas.

Finally got around to watching the trailer. Seems like they added new dialogue to the Amrlyn and Rand confrontation scene. *doubt*

Anaiya! She's very explicitly called out as not being pretty basically every time she's on screen. It's... actually kinda mean, taken as a whole.

And also most of the old people.

That's what I was thinking, they might want to introduce her earlier and maybe expand her role a bit. She's always just kind of there as she has an important job at the very end, but Egwene has to escape and maybe she gets help with that.
