I don't like it either, def not what I imagined in my head... and again I have decided to avoid the tv series in full until I finish my final re-read of WoT... it's going to be just like harry potter... loved the books, didn't mind the movies but the movies still ruined what was in my head and it kind of ruined the magic overall of the book nostalgia I had, I couldn't re-read the books again because in my head the images were all different... :/

so yeah I need to stop peaking in on threads like this... and just double down on my re-read... :cry

Probably speaks volumes to the fact that I saw the ring and was like....who in this series has a distinctive ring.

I literally always just imagined it as a circular ring, (sure there's several reasons why)

This has supplanted the tower design as my current biggest disconnect.

Still super excited however.

the visuals of that show are getting more and more ridiculous in my opinion and it's clear that not much of WOT-canon is going to be respected which bodes well (sarcasm) for the level of canon knowledge we can expect from new, show-based-only, fans.

I'm afraid to say it but there is going to be a clear division between those that actually know the books and those that don't and this is going to create tension. None of which is going to contribute to the maintaining or increasing of the status of the books. On the contrary, I fear. It's going to cheapen it to ludicrous levels.

Nothing that I have seen so far has enticed me in the slightest to watch that show.

This is what I thought as well. Also, in the books, they make a big deal about how the rings marks an Aes Sedai. It has to be easily recognizable for that effect. Especially since they aren’t doing the ageless face.
I see ageless in moraine and other AS. It's shiny and smooth.

Perhaps it's more subtle than I realized. I do see it in Moiraine, but I don't really see it in Siuan and Alanna. I wonder if they will reference agelessness in the show.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they're not doing the ageless effect because the budget is large but not unlimited. I think Rosamund Pike might just have a really amazing skincare routine?

Right?? I feel like trying to pop into one of those Q&As they’ve been having. Then, while everyone else is asking very well-considered and book-related questions, I would be there exclusively to find out what serum she’s using haha

Who needs agelessness when you have sunscreen and retinol? :giggle

@Elania al'Manir Sedai It looks like the images have broken.
I'm able to see it in an incognito window (no cookies, not logged in) and on my phone. I've also checked to make sure the privacy settings are public. Can anyone else take a look and see if they find a problem? I don't really know what else I'd try.

I am not sure why it doesn't work on my end. I've switched browsers and tried my phone.
