1: Rand on Dragonmount -> going to the white tower to tell Egwene he needs to break the seals and to meet at Merrilor
2: Rhuidean in book 4
3: Dumai's wells
4: Nynaeve's test for the shawl and subsequent telling the tower Aes Sedai to gently caress off
5: Cleansing Saidin

Yeah so the soonest one named comes is end of s2, but mostly ppls favorite moments are like s4 at the earliest. I was feeling like that and just wanted to see if others felt the same. Wild to think that stuff like Rand on dragonmount is like…8 years away?

1. Dumai's Wells 6
2. EOTW Prologue 1
3. Egwene defending the White Tower 12
4. Lan's futile charge at Tarwin's Gap 13
5. Nynaeve vs. Moghedien 4

Rand breaking out of the box

Rand balefiring an entire city out of existence

Sick training montage of Egwene & Nynaeve once they get to the tower

I don't even remember what else off the top of my head from the books.


Also wtf, my audiobook of EOTW that I just picked up is missing the Prologue with LTT. It just goes straight into Chapter 1 with Rand.

In no particular order:

The cleansing
The pillars of Rhuidean
Mat and the Eelfinn
Rand vs Samael
The Darkfriend Social

Bonus line that they'd better not leave out: "Is there any way to make sure she knows it's me?"

The main thing I want to see is Rand's gradual descent into madness.

Past that it's hard to pick out individual scenes. Maybe the quarterstaff fight. The snakes and the foxes. Most of Book IV, really.

I imagine they will have to skip "I win again, Lews Therin"

Season 1 covers Books 1 & 2 and even parts of 3, right? And we know S2 was already confirmed and S3 rumored. If we don't get as far as Book 5 by then I'd be bigly surprised

How about that battle after Loial's wedding (I think?) where he's blasting the oncoming waves of Trollocs with deathgates? I thought that was hilarious and would make some great visuals

Absolutely not. S1's all of TEoTW, with only minor things from 2 and 3 moved forward.

S2 is definitely The Great Hunt, because they just announced casting for Barthanes Damodred and they're about halfway through filming.

The show is moving very quickly, but not at that insane breakneck pace.

Anyway the first major thing I think they have to absolutely nail is the entire Falme sequence. Blademaster, To Come Out of the Shadow, The Grave is no Bar

That one is crazy because I think it's the first time Lews Therin straight up seizes control and starts wilding out, then tries to do a repeat Dragonmount before Rand talks him down by promising they can die. Logain and Cadsuane's reactions are real good too.

Ask me about making games instead of gains.
Does anyone have any solid information on how well the show is being received? I've been looking at rotten tomatoes and metacritic hoping it's been going well. It seems above average but not crazy well received. Hoping for a long run as I really think they nailed the first 3 episodes - really looking forward to fridays until the end of the year.

It seems to be doing well for a fantasy adaptation but it's getting review bombed a bit, partly by people who just don't like fantasy, partly by people who feel it's too "woke", partly by people who find it somewhat slow and oddly edited (a legit critique of the first book).

Rottentomatoes has it at the exact same critics score that Witcher season 1 got, and 83% audience vs 91% audience for ws1.

WOT has already been confirmed renewed for a.sexond season and there are rumors of a s3 renewal but that isn't confirmed.
