    S1E1 "Leavetaking" -- w/ Book Spoilers

    I have been BURSTING to talk about this with anyone since Monday, and my #WoTchParty isn't until tomorrow so I'm putting it here! oooooo I already HATE Liandrin, it's perfect. I'm wondering if the show will highlight that Liandrin's continuation of "The Vileness" isn't how they're supposed to...

    media and press tour

    The cast, directors, showrunner, and producers all did a press junket in October. Amazon lifted the embargo on that today so everyone is publishing the articles they've had ready to go since then. I'm going to try to collect them here because there is a LOT of really great stuff coming out...

    a feminist take on Rand and Egwene as foils

    this is probably the single most brilliant piece of writing on Rand <--> Egwene I have ever read. This articulated so beautifully for me why I was weeping at the apple blossom scene, and cry like a baby every time I read it now; as well as why I have always loved and will always love Egwene...

    morally gray characters

    Someone on The Internets has insisted that there are no morally gray characters in the books, that there is no moral complexity in the world of the Wheel of Time, that it is only good vs. evil, black and white. I disagree rather vehemently, so I started making a mental list of every character I...

    the "explore" tab

    Amazon put out a new "explore" feature on their page for the show. It included character bios of our main cast, plus an interactive map and timeline. There is so much cool stuff if you haven't seen it you absolutely should check it out. Things of note: They are making it clear that the...

    potential controversial pot-stirring: Couladin

    I was talking to my partner tonight about how the show really needs to cut down on the Shaido arc but definitely keep Couladin, because oh is he relevant in this particular day and age (cough cough). Basically, I'm pretty sure Couladin's battle cry is "Make the Aiel Great Again!" Here's Rand...

    Al'Naito (soundtrack)

    If you haven't had a chance to listen to our first track from the show, here's a link to find it on whatever service you use. There's a short sample at the link but if you click through you can hear all 4 minutes. https://soundtracks.lnk.to/wheeloftime First impressions: It comes across as...

    Winespring Inn clip

    Figured we didn't have a thread yet and I have thoughts. ^_^ So, personally, I love it. To me, this is a clear demonstration of how they're tightening up the writing and cutting down the unnecessary bits. For example, there's lots of chatter about Moiraine and Lan arriving in the dead of night...

    Elayviendha

    I wanted to check before I reinvent the wheel (haha) that someone else hasn't already done this work. I'm a bi/queer woman, and I have always shipped Elayne and Aviendha based on textual evidence. However, I'm starting to get really sick of the endless "gals being pals" arguments I keep hearing...

    meme ideas and catchphrases

    I've been chatting with my friends/family a lot recently on what I'm hoping to see once the show has been airing for a few weeks, as far as fandom is concerned. One of the biggest reasons I'm so excited about the show is how it's an opportunity for me to share my deep and abiding love of WoT...

    First Look: trollocs

    Rafe answered a Q&A saying we're going to get Narg on screen, so that's exciting, but the German Wheel of Time account accidentally released an extended clip of the Moiraine teaser, and you could see a trolloc in the background. Rafe did clarify that this clip is not finished and not to base our...

    building an Ajah personality quiz

    Hello! In anticipation of the launch of the show (maybe this holiday season? Maybe?), I want to have a "What Ajah Are You?" quiz built and ready to go (although may not put it up until we get at least some semblance of an explanation about Ajahs in the show). However, I would like this quiz to...

    Filming Locations

    I think we need a dedicated thread for filming locations. The Church of St. Wenceslas in Vysluni just popped up on twitter as a confirmed filming location. The article says the crew was preparing the set for about a month, and constructed a new door they will be gifting the church as a...

    Clothing Quotes

    I was wondering if there was a resource like a catalogue of every clothing item that's been described in the books. I've seen what's at the Thirteenth Depository and that's of course incredibly thorough, but not quite like what I'm picturing. I'm interested of course in what the clothes...

    Crew Members

    One of the questions that I'm seeing come up is looking at what the production quality is going to be like, because of course we want to see this get the treatment it deserves. I looked over the IMDB crew list today and I am so impressed right now with their hiring choices. I'm getting excited...

    What EotW/TGH scene(s) are you excited about?

    Just in case it's not obvious, spoilers abound in this thread! I think it's possible, given Marvelous Mrs. Maisel had 18 episodes its first season, we might see a longer season that could cover both Eye of the World and The Great Hunt. I've always encouraged new readers to read the first two...

    Hello Again

    Hi everyone! So this is actually my second account (using the same handle) at the White Tower-- I was pretty active around 2010, but let my account lapse when I began graduate school (MA in English) and we moved the forums over to a new format (although I see it's changed again :)). I made it...
