dang, it really has been 20 years since I read them. all I remember of Min was "third wife" and knife throwing. the WoT wiki says both Min and Avhienda are the 2nd wife, so maybe even they're rusty

My head canon considers her the 1st wife since she gets boned the most

How would you rank? Min saw him first, Min got into bed with him first*, Aviendha fucks him first, Elayne has his first kids. Amount of boning probably averages out over the course of their lives.

Hexel posted:My head canon considers her the 1st wife since she gets boned the most Same to me, though more because Rand/Min are the only pairing of Rand's that feels like an actual relationship in the slightest - they spend a significant amount of time together, they actually talk about their relationship, and Rand has actual feelings for her. Even when he is slowly descending into madness, Min is a true source of comfort to Rand, and it's the threat to her that starts him along his final descent in The Gathering Storm.

I mean he had some makeout sesh with Elayne in the Stone of Tear and then doesnt see her for a few books then they pork like1-2 times and she gets pregnant. Aviendha spends most of their relationship hating him and then they have the ice igloo sex. Min spends a ton of time with him banging it out basically every day when he's going full Lews Therin towards the end.

I think the big thing is because of the wonkiness of how the series handles time skips it seems like he spends a lot less time with Elayne than he did. They were running around in Tear for a couple months, it was just mostly offscreen because the first few books have some strangely large time skips that mostly disappear after The Shadow Rising.

Given the bit in the trailer where Rand's like "I don't want to lose you," and Egwene replies "You won't," and combining it with the scene in the teaser where they're half naked together, I have to think that Rand and Egwene's relationship will be much more serious than in the books. Which makes me very curious how it's going to go once Min gets added to the mix near the end of this season and Elayne early next.

That's more and better communication between Rand and Egwene in all of book 1 on paper.Zore posted:I think the big thing is because of the wonkiness of how the series handles time skips it seems like he spends a lot less time with Elayne than he did. They were running around in Tear for a couple months, it was just mostly offscreen because the first few books have some strangely large time skips that mostly disappear after The Shadow Rising. Though they would have encountered each other repeatedly over the course of the month or so in the Stone, they weren't together together for more than maybe about 4 days, when Egwene and Elayne hatched the plan to "pass" Rand between them. Rand the woolhead didn't know what was up until that point (and arguably didn't know what was up after that point). What I like to point out is that what Rand does with the High Lords and armies of Tear didn't solidify until he and Elayne got together. Moiraine wanted him to take those guys to attack Illian, Thom picks out a person he wants to help with his Daes Daemar skills and doesn't much care exactly what that person does with it so long as he likes him/her, and Rand was hyperfocused on his plan on going to the Waste to recruit the Aiel (you can double check on his selection of reading when we visit his rooms in the Stone). It is very likely that Elayne gave him her understanding of what statesmanship and diplomacy can accomplish that she learned from Morgase.

yeah the two talking about their relationship at all is very unfaithful to the books. ideally in future seasons no one will ever talk to each other about their issues

The dangers of the sexes refusing to talk to each other is a major theme of the story! I think having some couples who do talk to contrast with those who don't will be needed for the visual medium. You don't have access to everyone's inner thoughts so you can see how they are foolishly misinterpretating each other.

I kinda hope we get the boys "I wish X was here, he is so much better with women" mumbled under their breath while a character walks away just to show that part of each of them.

I keep thinking about a WoT rpg but in my mind it's a throwback to early 90s 16 bit ones and it looks like FF6 with an overworld and random battles but with cutscenes done in a 16 bit anime style with lots of parallaxing backgrounds. Jeff hire me please!!

Nitrousoxide posted:The dangers of the sexes refusing to talk to each other is a major theme of the story! For all the weird poo poo with Saldeans, Bashere and his wife had a not so bad relationship. They cared about each other and had been together long enough to be able to communicate without having full on discussions. They also knew when to push things and when not to. Though missing out on Perrin's smelling Faile's emotions and being confused by what she's acting like will really be hard to convey on screen.

She feels that a relationship won't be her choice, and there's still a big part of her not being willing to give up the spear. Well that, and she's extremely frustrated because she promised Elayne to make sure he stayed loyal and Aviendha has a lot of feelings for the woolhead. Really, she has a lot going on in her life and the Aiel's honor system is making it all even more complicated for her. I totally get why all of that mixed together would result in her projecting all of that onto Rand as his fault (if it weren't for Rand, I wouldn't feel this shame/have to give up the spear/etc) and making him think that she hates him. She doesn't hate him as a person, but for a while she absolutely hates what he represents and what turmoil he's causing her. After the igloo she gets out of her own head a bit and everything goes a bit smoother, and then it gets better again once she confronts Elayne afterwards.

The parts of TSR/TFoH where Rand accidentally courts her are the best, because you know she's told him at least in passing about some of those and nothing stuck in Rand's head (because he's distracted by staring off at the peddlers, or the Wise Ones and Moiraine, or thinking about Couladin, or whatever). Then he goes off to the Maidens' roof and TELLS HER FORMER SPEARSISTERS that he's looking for a gift that she would like.

I got to the part in my reread in the Dragon Reborn right after Falme where they are camped out in the Mountains of Mist. They're kinda hiding out and random women keep coming to visit Moiraine with news of whats going on in Almoth Plain, I cant remember if it is ever explained how or why these women are being summoned like this?

Blue Ajah has a Randland wide network of informants since they're like the political causes Ajah. I assume she sent messenger pigeons out and once a few people showed up she could instruct them to reach out to other contacts and tell them to meet up.

Ah yeah that makes sense During the battle of Falme when Rand is fighting Ba'alzamon his pov changes from just a normal "human" one to the kind of top-down view from the clouds Is that a product of the horn or just some kind of saidin transcendence taking place? He doesn't ever become cloud Rand again right?
