buffalo all day posted:dunno if anyone here watched the last kingdom (u should btw because it owns), but Thom’s actor has a great part in it, basically playing Roose Bolton’s Viking equivalent. Definitely has me hype for him here. I have! God I love that show. It's such a historical nerd-out I love everything about it. Even just for linguistic reasons, seeing how carefully they wove the clash of Scandinavian and Germanic cultures into the texture. My favorite moment of the whole thing is in Season 2 when Uhtred (the half-Dane protagonist) has just liberated Hild (a Saxon nun who wants to become a fighter) to join his crew, and she says "I want you to teach me sword-craft". And he says "Fine, but we call it sword-skill"  Rarity posted:Never gonna happen but for me Graendal will always be Angelina Jolie Nah that's Graendal's mother

I would imagine she's just a Ta'veren in the TV show which is what he's seeing. Since he's presumably not going to see Rand as a shining star in this run through it's introducing his ability and confusing the issue of who is the dragon reborn.

I wonder how they're going to do Rand's power reveal after the Nynaeve fakeout. They're clearly going to have to make the big reveal much more awesome and higher-stakes (so we probably won't see him channel lightning just to kill a few people in an inn). I'm thinking they set up the candlelight to the sun comparison between Logain and Nynaeve early to make the comparison between Nynaeve and Rand more impressive later. Having Rand go super saiyan and kill an entire army of trollocs at the Eye of the World would be a really cool reveal and end to the season but it would also be a bad start for the series as a whole. It would probably be easier to cut the well of saidin out entirely rather than have to explain to the audience next season that he's not really that powerful and doesn't even know how to channel.

Yeah This is where I was going to go next—people that read the books can interpret it a couple ways. it’s very similar to the line about seeing Rand. Like the dagger sickness, works neatly to help muddy the waters re:whodragon for the newbies and keep the oldies on tilt. Good poo poo imo. Though we know about the dagger so the wrinkle to me will be more about how he gets healed, Thom said “we have to keep him away from Aes Sedai” and I laughed out loud Also if I was Logs I’d be like “wow Moiraine what a coincidence that the dragon seems to be right here, after saying that poo poo to me like two seconds ago“ Brolander fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Nov 27, 2021 |

i could see moiraine saying next episode that she can tell nynaeve isn't the dragon based on some reasons or another, but also pointing out that she's got the potential to be incredibly powerful or whatever realistically they probably can't carry it on for too long considering the condensed timeline in this season

Basically all of my childhood/high school/college friends are picking up the books now despite me having described the entire series to them over and over again when they would tell me that they'll never read the wheel of time. Hopefully everything fell out of their brain so they can experience this mostly spoiler free.

I'd described some of the basics of the world to my gf several times leading up to show release and they must have gone in one ear and out the other because she's asking about them now that she's into it.

Shageletic posted:the Darkfriend talking about the Wheel being unfair. The way I see it, everybody joins up with the Dark One for their own reasons. Some do it because they think the DO's victory is inevitable so why not be on the winning side, some do it for revenge against a world they think has treated them unfairly, and some do it because they really reallly really hate Lews Therin Telamon.

I guess I'm more wondering what the meaning is. My first impression of Leila was "this girl is a darkfriend" and i dont think that matches the hammer motif

Makes no sense, or have I missed something Moiraine had just said that phrase, Logain has healed (king of ghaldean) so he knows that healing normally isn’t accompanied by a big blast of air, debris, and saiyan braids, and normally can’t heal a whole room of people of fatal wounds at once so maybe he was like “oh THAT sun” and furthermore… Nah it should have been “he sees ta’veren” or something this is just confusing

I suspect we get the glow of saidar once Nynave and Egwene actively become channelers so that the audience learns about it when they do.
