What kind of prep did you do to get into the headspace of your character for "Wheel of Time?"

A lot of reading.

Did you finish the series?

Oh, gosh no. That was a lot of books and I have ADD, so sometimes I'm reading, I'm just like, "Oh my gosh, I have to read that page again." But that's the great thing about the internet is that you're able to zero in on characters. But I have to say, one thing I can say about this is that it's the first time that I've been a part of a show and a story that is really, really coveted. People really have such a ... even a better understanding than I do of her, I feel, sometimes. They really have had this character with them longer than I've had it. So. I understand that and that pressure, I'm just like, "Oh, please, please, please like her." But, yeah, I mean, I can't say too much about "Wheel of Time." But it is ... I can't wait for you guys to see it. It looks so, so dope. The cast that they have put together, I just, I love every single one of them. They're such wicked people. I can't wait for you guys to meet them.

Is there an aspect of the show that you're most excited for people to see?

Honestly, the cast. We have people from all walks of life. I just think to myself when I was growing up, if I saw a cast that was that diverse in that way I ... I don't know. It made me emotional when I was sitting in the table read and just seeing how different everybody looked, and how we're all part of telling this story. Again, I just feel so grateful that I get to be a part of that, and that change. It's really exciting.

Looks like Amazon just released a nifty little WoT intro video!
It's not...quite...an ouroboros. Wonder why. Maybe because they thought it looked cooler to have the spiral?

A friend of mine just made the comment that the way they made it spiral reminded her of Egwene's Dream ter'angreal....which makes me like it even more. :laugh:

*happy sigh* I just keep thinking more and more about it. "It was not the beginning, but it was a beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings..." And we don't actually *see* the end of the snake's tail. And the scale of the snake looks like a moon, but surprise! And, and, and....

I'm getting so excited, I think I just have time for a leisurely re-read before the release.

New video today!! It's just 7 seconds long, but it's a logo for the show, and the O in WoT is the Great Serpent! :yay

IT'S SO FREAKING COOL!!

(ETA: I can't find a link, but it's on Instagram)

They were also announcing that Rafe will be on a panel for Comic Con at Home. It'll be on the SDCC YouTube channel on July 23rd at 11am PDT.

Ok, so surely we're getting a trailer at Comic Con, then. It seems the obvious place to do it.
