    Music in the TV show

    The music is great! Probably my favorite part of the series. I am very disappointed that we did not get examples of styles (such as High Chant). I also thought that they could have slowly added a slight reverb to Thom's performance to make it "otherworldly". I hope more focus is put on the...

    Sea Folk

    One explanation might be that when we first meet them, they are in their comfort zone on their ships where they are the ultimate authority. The majority of Sea Folk we see in later books are far from water and ships and way outside of their comfort zone. They are also trying to force others to...

    Your favourite ajah?

    Then you simply must show me where the secret instrument vault is in the Tower basement. And we will need wards vs. eavesdropping to ensure we do not disturb anyone while playing.

    Your favourite ajah?

    Blue and Brown are what I would probably prefer... but more than likely I would be a runaway accepted. Aes Sedai don't seem to have much time for playing instruments.

    Spoiler Free - WOT as an Intro to Fantasy

    I see books like the Eragon and Harry Potter series as entry level fantasy. For me, they are quick reads and seem to be more action oriented than most fantasy books. Where people usually run into issues with the WOT series is in the vast amount of detail, world building, and long introspective...

    A Purist Perspective

    I think this is what we have to do. It won't be perfect... but I am sure they are doing their best to give a wide range of viewers something to enjoy. I am secretly hoping that this series is so wildly successful that we get a canon version of it down the road.

    The Gleeman's Instrument

    The actor can play the guitar and that was part of the reason they liked the idea of the change according to a YouTuber (will have to check which one to confirm later). Also, I have the feeling that they will record the live sound as opposed to recording in the studio because it is simpler and...

    The Gleeman's Instrument

    My predictions on the guitar... This looks very similar to a renaissance guitar. Assuming this is the case... 1. It will be around 21 inches in length. (Smaller than most people probably expect) 2. It will have six strings (early renaissance guitars had 4) 3. It will be tuned E, A, D, G, B...

    A Purist Perspective

    Hi everyone, I have stayed away from the forums for a long time in anticipation of the WoT Amazon series. I tried to stay away from the leaks and rumors so that I could enjoy the series when it is released. Unfortunately, my buddy has a loose tongue and had peaked my interest in some of the...

    Casting

    I feel a lot of people look at the castings in this way... The "Two Rivers look" = Everyone looks somewhat the same. I agree with this as it keeps everything "by the books". But I also agree that talent and the ability to own their character is more important that the color of skin or even...

    Sephi's Musings

    I don't think that anyone is going to flip out on you because of your opinions. I can understand and sympathize with everything you have said. Many of the books are controversial as far as content and pacing. Many of the people I have tried to show the series to have never pushed beyond The Eye...

    TV Show Merchandise Possibilities

    As of April 28th 2019, Badalli was no longer allowed to make new jewelry. They are allowed to sell any remaining stock up to October 2019. Ta'veren Tee's also has not been allowed to make any new items since April 28th 2019, but they posted that they will have their remaining stock available...

    Idea? Animated Series

    In my opinion, there are just as many hurdles for an animated series as a normal one. First and foremost among them is writers and talent. It is the natural prerogative of writers to take whatever they are given and make it their own. I expect the writers to be creative and take some creative...

    Aes Sedai behavior towards those stilled

    I Another aspect to this is that being stilled is a punishment for only the worst crimes/actions in the Tower (For example: Bonwhin provoked Artur Hawkwing into attacking Tar Valon). If an Aes Sedai is found guilty, punishment should be dispensed swiftly. It could be seen as improper to help a...

    Aes Sedai behavior towards those stilled

    Take a look at it from the other perspective. An Aes Sedai will never feel anything that can compare to embracing the source. I would almost equate it to drugs. In many spots in the series it is conveyed that it is intoxicating and that it should be feared. When an Aes Sedai is stilled, she can...

    TV Show Merchandise Possibilities

    I have yet to see any company make a fox head medallion the way I imagine it should be. I am also curious what a paralis net would look like. Probably takes forever to put it on.

    TV Show Merchandise Possibilities

    I don't know if Harriet McDougal has given any companies the exclusive right to produce official merchandise but that is what I think she would do. There will always be companies that will try to undercut quality products with cheaper options. I hope that any clothing they make is of high...

    TV Show Merchandise Possibilities

    Just had a thought. My kids like collectibles like pokemon cards and Pez dispensers. If they were to come out with a collectible card game or some pez dispensers they would go nuts. I expect that there will likely be another release of the books with new cover art once the TV show increases...

    So we needed Moiraine...[spoiler]

    The WoT is a story about balance in many ways. Moiraine is the counterbalance to Rand. This position was somewhat adopted by Cadsuane for a time. Without either of their guidence, Rand would have never made it to the last battle. The other reason why Moiraine is so important is the amount of...

    TV Show Merchandise Possibilities

    I wonder what the player pieces would be. One of them has to be a seal to the DO's prison.
