I really, really, really am against them cutting Thom :laugh:

But I could see them trying to build on Moiraine and Tam's early scenes together.

It would possibly help ease the pain of losing Thom if we got to see Michae McElhatton more, but. Thom.

It's still early we have a lot of cast left to reveal. Last we were all worried about Tam not being in it. Let's be patient and see what news we get tomorrow.

This is good advice, thanks Feros. :penguin

I am really against them joining Tam and Thom together.

For one, that would make the reunion between Tam and Rand at the end much less EPIC.
And it will also downplay Rands agony in the first books on whether or not Tam is his father :look:

I really don't think they're going to consolidate Tam and Thom. :look: They're completely different characters, and this team just doesn't seem like they'd do that. :cheeseeni:

I just have to say, I don't like that this is not an official announcement. Why would they tell Variety "Exclusively" ? I just really hate leaks. I don't want to know any "Undisclosed character" this type of thing just Pees me right off. Not mad at you @Aratouial Delafeld for sharing it!! Just hate articles like this. The network will tell us what we need to know. Stop snooping and let them do their jobs.

On the Tam/Thom issue, I would not like to loose Thom, but I can see easily how they could. Not to mention it would get rid of that TERRIBLE interaction between Thom and Elayne, Tam would simply be a Father-in-law figure!! Plus with Tam having left The Two Rivers many of Thoms exploits could be assigned to Tam without too much trouble. But the whole "Tam isn't my real father" thing would have to change. That's the only real trouble I can see. I just feel that, with the Emmonds Field 5 and Moraine and Lan, the next reveal would be Thom, as he would be the next biggest role since he travels with them, where as Tam is only in the start... But @Feros Sandulf is correct in that we can't know. . . But isn't it fun to theorise??!!! :D

Going this age for Logain makes sense if they're trying to draw out the audience figuring out who The Dragon is. If he's close to Rand's age, then he's closer to fulfilling Tamra's prophecy.

Might he be a red herring extra Two Rivers kiddo who gets brought along (I believe Ewin Finngar was present when the boys received their coins)?

True but he is older than the group from Two Rivers. I would put him in late 20's early 30's never any mention of him graying in the hair.

Given that we do have elder in the series we could assume that he is around twenties of they are thinking of 30-40 being the middle years

I imagine Logain as in his prime. Older than young, younger than old. Mature. That guy is young. But I can be flexible about it if I need to.

He doesn't look right for Gawyn, Galad, or Aram to me, so I'd say Logain is the most likely choice. If we were seeing Gawyn and Galad I think we'd see Elayne and/or Min too. I'm looking forward to seeing who they pick for the Caemlyn crew. Morgase, Elayne and Elaida especially.

I have seen a photo of how Loial will look which was posted on Variety, it was quickly taken down
:laugh:
I almost didn’t click the spoiler (I’m really anti-leak) but got curious. Sooo glad I did. Well played. :fistbump
