The show really hasn't been going overboard with accents like I hoped it would. Bayle Domon only does one "do be" and the rest of his dialogue is just miscellaneous fantasy British. They really could have leaned into it and done some cool cultural-marker stuff if they wanted.

I do love Pointedly Nordic Moghedien compared to everyone else though.

This is a *fantastic* article about the Renna Egwene scenes, and interviewing both actors.

I've talked a few people who really didn't like how Egwane kills her handler in such a cruel way, but like, what did you expect? Her to FORGIVE the woman to inflicted horrible torture on her? I know people always want to see the heroes to be perfect people and never kill, and any time the hero does kill it means they're just as bad as the bad guy.

I just countered "if you have the chance to kill hitler, kill hitler", and I'd say the Seanchan are pretty Hitlery, so offing them is a net good.

I also have to say that when I first read Seanchan on the page, I figured it was pronounced like some Weeb going "My name is Sean-chan!".

I assumed the addition of the mouth guards and upper torso coverings to the a'dams was to make it a little LESS kinky as opposed to just leash and collar. By adding more to it they distract from the straight up bondage aspect.

If they're described with the elaborate transformation in the books I super don't remember.
You think adding a pacifier/ball gag makes it LESS kinky rather than more?

They really did nail it with S2E8.
I thought they mostly nailed everything but episode 8.

I still can't get over the name, honestly. I feel like Shawn-chan must be a friend of Chris-chan.

Same. Reading the book I looked it up in the glossary and was like "oh come on"

Battle Without Honor or Humanity
I haven't seen any discussion of this, but Amazon and Sony are moving ahead with production of three Age of Legends movies, set to be directed by Kari Skogland.

https://deadline.com/2023/12/wheel-of-time-origins-movie-kari-skogland-animated-film-1235667758/ posted:

Set several millennia before the timeline of the books, The Age of Legends will chart the emergence of “the Dark One.” when the world descended into darkness and war. The film will delve into the corrosive nature of power and pride, as seen through the tragic tales of the Forsaken – once honored leaders who fell victim to the Dark One’s seduction, each personifying distinct elements of human weakness and ambition. The story will also portray the valorous sacrifices of unexpected heroes who rise against the Dark One to defend humanity in the face of overwhelming odds.
So if you were worried about the future of the series, it look like Amazon is all-in.

I don't think it'll happen, but an anthology series based on Rand's Rhuidean columns visions would be awesome.

Edit:my bad, didn't look at which thread I was in
