Nugget of interest #1: WGA victory means the strike is over? Nugget of interest #2: X/Twitter won’t show replies unless you are logged in to an account, so I at least can’t see anything past the first post.

Jedit posted:You mean Furyk Karede. But yeah, the Gardeners are not da'covale and as I recall they're also the only servants of the Empress who are permitted to refuse her call, if they need to avoid the Longing. IIRC seanchan ogier do not get the longing. Also I wonder if the two societies of ogier knew about each other from before or if they are complete strangers. Leaning towards the latter. Didn't like the idea of Ogier working for the seanchan fucks though.

Gwaihir posted:Not only this, but also just as an example of how hosed up randland in specific was from the combination of proximity to the Blight and Ishamael's post breaking actions- The trolloc wars and the hundred years war both pushed a civilization on the edge well past the brink and in to decline. It's a huge standout point that the societies from other parts of the world aren't really in the same state of "humanity is in retreat." Both Shara and Seanchan border the blight. Presumably, after the civil war hit the Seanchan, the Trollocs also came out of their blight, and they're now all dead. Though I dunno about Shara, maybe they were lucky and counted as allies of the dark, or they were also super-hosed after all their soldiers and channelers beamed themselves over to Randland.

I found the most interesting bit to be that Liandrin is not combined with anyone.

Seanchan has the "lesser Blight" that is presumably still awful and unlivable but all the Trollocs and other Shadowspawn there were exterminated centuries or perhaps millennia ago. That's why the Seanchan were so sure they were myths.

I'm not sure if I want to see Moridin, the actor for Ishy is killing it. One thing I'm curious about is how are they going to work Rand becoming a blademaster.

calandryll posted:I'm not sure if I want to see Moridin, the actor for Ishy is killing it. Offscreen I think my biggest complaint about the show is that there is a shedload of interesting learning and mentoring in the books entirely loving absent in favor sitting in bathtubs/chaises/carriages/corners/on-the-floor and looking just over the camera into the middle distance. Screencap/name your favorite shot with the actor moodily emoting for 8 to 10 seconds, because every single actor seems to have been given the same direction.

Regarding Ishy/Moridin Judkins said today: “We wove a lot of Moridin and his philosophy into Ishamael this season” 100% they are not migrating any souls or recasting anybody Handling forsaken “death” and resurrection was pretty much established with Lanfear.

buffalo all day posted:Lots of Rafe Q&A this morning on Twitter…with some nuggets of interest Most interesting bits of this to me is that it seems to imply that we'll get the Stone of Tear battle in falme, and that there's at least 1 deleted scene coming to explain Min's visions + infallibility. Also EP7 is apparently the one that diverges most from the books. Also he has counterpoints to some random speculation in thread: - Liandrin is not a composite character in the show - Saidin/Saidar are still in, and still split into male/female. This will be explained as it becomes relevant (and apparently the look of the magic may change?)

He also pretty much confirmed the death of Origins too. I’m guessing amazon shitcanned it as a cost saving measure.

Of all the weirdest ways they could do the sky fight, the one that I think I would like the most is if they are just versions of themselves. We're talking forms that are 200 miles high, their heads in LEO. Visible from all of Randland. But just them, standing there. The jarring juxtoposition between the sight being so normal and mind bendingly wrong would work real well instead of weird high concept stuff

The jarring juxtoposition between the sight being so normal and mind bendingly wrong would work real well instead of weird high concept stuff I’m excited for the fight because it’s one of the few things in the book I couldn’t imagine in my head. I just can’t picture what people are seeing when RJ says they “fought in the sky”. The other thing that I wasn’t able to fully get was the idea of the Seanchan Voices so I enjoyed watching Lady Suroth’s and Turak’s going back and forth.

One thing I really wish the show would do is open and close each season with the opening/closing quotes from the books because they're some of my favorite poo poo, like The Karaethon Cycle posted:And it shall come to pass that what men made shall be shattered, and the Shadow shall lie across the Pattern of the Age, and the Dark One shall once more lay his hand upon the world of man. Women shall weep and men quail as the nations of the earth are rent like rotting cloth. Neither shall anything stand nor abide . . . is dope af and reads like a gospel to me but i guess there's no good way to do it in live action. Books continue to be the superior form of entertainment, sorry tv and video games
