The only logical reason I can think of for excluding colored weaves would be cost. Maybe with a bigger budget for S2 that poo poo can be revisited :shrug:

The ter'angreal remove the threat of violence from channelers, so they probably figured, why not remove the threat of violence from anyone at all if possible? I don't think that's spelled out, though.

I thought maybe that was the place where the 10,000 Jenn Aiel got mowed down

Turns out they’re just dicks :shrug:

I can think of a few reasons why they might not want people dramatically sweeping their arms around and hurling giant rainbows at each other

Not having colors makes doing "lmao characters not actually dead btw I dont know how to channel" healing a bit easier to do.

Does the woman host ever stop giving the characters cutesy nicknames because she can’t be bothered to learn their actual names? I like the concept but I couldn’t get past that

Yeah apparently there's even been listener feedback along the lines of "hey why don't you use the nicknames anymore" and the answer is, more or less, that she got fully invested in the books and the actual names follow from that.

No one is allowed to give WoT characters nicknames except for the Everyday Negros crew.

No one else is nearly as good at it as they are.

Just cracking into Book 5 and it's just amazingly lol that people see Rand or one of are heroes jaywalking in a dream and they're like "100% dark friend loving confirmed no mercy for servants of the shadow" then turn to Paddan Fain, who is currently drinking wine from a cup fashioned from a child's skull and are like "hey man, can you help me with these obviously bad guys?"

“Alanna’s face had fallen, and she had sagged back in her chair. “It’s just that I’ve come all this way, and you are sending me right off again. I suppose it is for the best, with that girl here,” she sighed. “You have no idea what I went through in Cairhien, masking the bond just enough to keep what the two of you were doing from keeping me awake all night.”

Does Alanna want in on the harem? I feel like RJ left this whole thing undeveloped and unfinished.

Seanchan nobility anyone?

Jessica Boone is a classically trained actor and voice actor from America who is currently based out of Prague, Czechia. She is the co-director of the Prague Shakespeare Company alongside her husband and fellow Wheel of Time actor, Guy Roberts. In addition to her numerous theatre roles and voice acting work in anime, she also has had roles in television and movies, including recent roles in Das Boot and The Defeated. She recently wrapped work on television series Dangerous Liaisons and movie Chevalier, both filmed in the Czech Republic.

In a quickly deleted Instagram post from her agency, Boone was stated to be in season one of The Wheel of Time upon release. However, now that the first season has come and gone and we have yet to see her on screen, it seems likely that she will be in season two. Her specific character is unknown, however, she was seen with the side of her head shaved in August of 2021.

IG post from today with her head still shaved.

It will almost certainly be styled some kinda way, maybe even a faux hawk or mohawk.

It's entirely possible she'll be Suroth. There isn't really any Seanchan in early seasons that require a legit actor, Suroth and Turak are about it.

I was more thinking of the hair, I thought Suroth and Turak were the only ones high ranked enough to merit that

Also that dude really is the perfect Uno

I don’t get how Elayne is acting pregnant and all of Caemlyn is treating her as such basically the day after Rand’s booty call. She mentions a Min viewing in her internal dialogue but I don’t remember any such viewing?

I know during the succession and the battle for Caemlyn she uses the pregnancy as plot armor but I don’t remember any pre-coitus viewings :psyduck:

"She should have drunk the moonleaf tea, she'll get pregnant from that. Twins." or something like that, she told Aviendha and Birgitte in the hallway.
