I just re-watched Ep 3 with my wife (who saw it for the first time) and I noticed durring Perrin's nightmare that the man with eyes like embers was in the window behind Perrin. Not just the quick flash when he's walking down the hallway.

Scary man screaming thru my TV for a quarter second right before the protag wakes up! Oh no! I might pee!! Maybe I'm in the minority about it tho. Love the show anyway.

Philthy posted:I really wish there was somewhere that showed the faces and names of the TV cast instead of poorly drawn fan art that looks completely terrible. Oh right; forgot about that one. Well, regardless, Kerene is the leader of the Green Ajah, who are specifically the Ajah that specialize in combat. So it could be, and presumably is an exception in her case. Alanna is the other named Green Aes Sedai, and as noted, she was not only the one who did the majority of fighting, but seems to have ended it too. Kerene was also in the cave during the attack, shielding Logain and was killed defending from an attack he made on Liandrin while they attempted to shield him. Which they were doing while exhausted from having had to shield him for several days, while he was sitting there relaxed and waiting for them to grow tired so he could strike. As you said, Moiraine even notices how tired Kerene is from what should have been a simple healing spell, when Kerene heals her.

If it's meant to make you feel anything, it's probably anxiety about what the character is experiencing. tsob fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Nov 28, 2021 |

It would be weird for them to be freaked out without the jump scare.

I don't hate jump scares personally, I hate it when a show or movie relies entirely on jump scares. These nightmare sequences don't do that.

So why exactly do some AS have two Warders? Alanna made it sound like a Green Ajah thing, but Kerene only had one.

Green Ajah are the only Ajah that sometimes have more than one Warder, but it's optional, not mandatory. Not everybody finds people they want to work that closely with, and even fewer people find more than one.

As mentioned in this episode, a warder and his AS have a bond closer than parent/child or lover/lover. Sharing that with more than one person is not something for everyone. Also, as seen in this episode, the other participant(s) in the bond don't respond well when the other dies, as the warder goes into a blind rage.

The Green Ajah usually have multiple Warders because they're the Battle Ajah, and Warders are pretty important in Aes Sedai fighting. It's not unusual for them to have even more than 2 if I'm remembering correctly. Being the Battle Ajah has ended up with it being the "Chad" Ajah due to who chooses to join.

on the flipside, as has been noted, the aes sedai of the red ajah don't have any warders because in the books they're specifically tasked with hunting down guys who develop channeling, but for show purposes are given a slightly broader definition that still includes that but also keeps their general distaste for men for, well, probably obvious reasons at this point. the show will undoubtedly go into the others and what their deal is, there's a general system behind it all. warders tend to be a 1 per aes sedai kind of thing for the most part barring the green/red ajahs or just aes sedai who don't have one for whatever reason, since it's by no means required.

Earlier episodes have videos related to them and earlier ones only. Pictures/concept art? Each episode have their own selection of pics. You have to xray them all.

It’s no spoiler to say that an absolute fuckton of the books is explanation and exposition about how all this mechanics stuff works, and that obviously wouldn’t translate well to a show. The x-ray solution seems pretty sensible (or would be if it were more easily accessible)

Honestly, it's kind of silly it isn't available external to a given episode in the general show page. Barreft posted:for ex: I do like how the show notes always put females before males, like that example of "it could be her or him", where normally most things term it "him or her". Women are often the more powerful individuals in society within the setting, so it makes sense.

The fact they're not generally available in the app or without loading a show is weird and annoying though, so I've been copying them out into a separate set of text documents for my own use. I did all the character bios today after noticing them, but I have all the trivia from the first few episodes copied out of the app too. I used "print screen" to capture pictures of all the bios too, for the sake of it. They might come in handy at some point. tsob fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Nov 28, 2021 |

Like I saw this while re-watching ep 4, I think I only mentioned it in the spoiler thread, but: It's right there, it's canon, it explains Nynaeve. Yet I can't share it to my friends I have to make a screenshot and upload it to imgur to show people what they're missing. lol

I think I've said it before but there really should be a toggleable pop-up video mode for all of the x-ray content. You wouldn't even need to put all of the text on screen, just have little annotations with place and character names pop up on the side of the screen to let people know that the information is there

You can't edit a pastebin you made if you don't have an account though, so I probably won't be updating it with new ones or anything. I'll probably just post them after each episode, unless you can suggest someplace better to throw them that I can edit each week and link to?

Also, the White Tower being around for over 2,000 years as that note says is a bit of an odd way to term it, because Kerene notes in the latest episode it's stood for over 3,000 years. That's longer, so they don't contradict, but at the same time; why only say 2,000 at all in that case? I guess they must just have changed their minds or noticed differing info from the books at some point in production after the notes had been set.

I think someone’s wires got crossed. Pretty sure either the TV show or the trivia directly said that the Oaths were invented 2000 years ago as a condition to end Artur Hawkwing’s siege on the White Tower. So the Tower has to be a bit older than that.

So the Tower has to be a bit older than that. I'll rewatch the Oaths scene, but Hawking's siege of the Tower was FY 974-994. That's about 1,150 years prior to the start of the series, 998 NE.

Thanks for all your answers, i appreciate it! In indsight i might have needed some visual clues to "Aes Sedai are exhausted" and that their strong connection to their warders also transfers that condition. Maybe the Ladies should have gotten Palpatine-face and the guys walk like a hunchback for my viewing comfort.  I trust the show that the rest of my questions will be answered further downn the road. That's part of the fun  Also, the greens with their warder-polycule (will there also be female Warders? Let's find out!) serve the old Warrior-/Barbarian-trope to want to gently caress after a hard-fought battle, obviously.
