The current division is pretty unusable for anyone except the 100% full-spoilers crew. If you want broad discussion on random generalities of the setting like "what even is The Dragon stuff about anyway" this thread instantly goes berserk, and if you go to the other thread without having fully read the book series you're inundated with untagged spoilers about stuff that won't come up in the show for potentially years.

this is why I don't want to bother with the book barn thread fwiw. Like I just want to discuss what's currently happening in relation to the books I don't really care about what might change seven books in the future, but instead I just sort of post a reaction after watching and then mostly skim this thread.

The post about all the bonus content was cool I didn't realize where it was hidden. I watched them all while waiting for my xiv queue last night it was very good. Highly recommend.

If you've watched the show you can talk about what the show has already revealed, and there is a lot of broad discussion to be had there. If you've read the books you should probably temper yourself and post in the book thread because you already know the whole arc and can figure out what the show is going for. Meanwhile i'm just starting book 5 in the new readers thread and I still can keep the progress of the show and the book fully sperate in my head because I don't have years of preconceived ideas. I'm still not going to just flat answer the hundreds of people who are show only with a book spoiler.

You can do that in the book barn spoilers thread. We do lots of that. You can actually talk about whatever you like w/r/t book spoilers. It's totally your choice.

I'm excited to see this "Eye of the World" thing Moraine was mentioning at the end of the episode. A surprising plot thing we hadn't heard of before Siuan mentioned it 20 minutes prior.

I'm mostly just curious whether the next episode will have any Mat in it, acting on his own in some capacity or if he'll just awkwardly disappear until next season. Exploring the ways should be cool too, since they have a fun look about them, but the Mat thing is what I'm most curious about.

I mean, Moiraine has spent 20 years wandering the world after something similar happened; so she has form at the very least.

Doesn't make any less sense then walking across an entire continent to climb a volcano because that one friend who only comes over for your weed says to do it.

It must be pretty important if that's Moiraine's reaction, yeah. I imagine they will elaborate on it in the next episode.
