  1. He - Him
Shamelessly cribbed from Bluesky, but what are the top 3 things you want to see in the show, between now and the potential 8th season finale, that are unlikely given the adaptation?

I'll go first:
1. Grolm
2. Raven Tower
3. "I win again Lews Therin."

 
Of course the Grolm. But also:

1. "I wish ____ were here, they understand women."
2. "What language do we speak, Hornsounder?"
3. The black ajah's crazy cat lady.

+1 to Grolm.
We wait, we watch, we meme.

1. Mentioning that peaches are poison :look:
2. Hinderstap
3. Nynaeve & Uno re: swearing/curses

I have to agree with every one else so far, and could add loads more. Here are the first three that come to mind.

1. Egwene and the confrontation with Elaida.
2. Mat accidentally marrying Tuon.
3. Nynaeve - My Husband rides for Tarwin's Gap, will he ride alone?
 
We'll definitely get Ebou Dar, and honestly, probably a good chance there's at least one knitting circle scene.

Not sure when they'll make a set for Caemlyn though lol. Has to happen eventually?
 
Egwene and the confrontation with Elaida.
If Rafe, very vocal Egwene fanboy, doesn't give us this scene I will riot.

1. Moiraine absolutely roasting one of the Forsaken with balefire.
2. Elayne picking apart a Traveling weave to blow up a bunch of Seanchan.
3. Bela happily munching on some grass post TLB.
 
I really really hope we don't lost all of this. I don't know how much more of Mat being changed/not done i can survive. I simply adore him
No, I think they'll definitely have to do that one.
 
1. Ebou Dar because then it means we won't get to see Setalle Anan and she's one of my favorite characters.
2. The circus arc
3. "I will not shout at you!" Nynaeve shouted. I need this line and action because it's one of her funniest moments

I will be very surprised if there's no circus . . . But I doubt it'll be a whole arc, yeah.

I doubt it would be either but they can't leave out Elayne and her spangly pants. The circus arc does center around a few important events too

My best guess would be next season, in the return from Tanchico.

Oh my.... well.... I'm currently rereading and at book 4 so most things that come to mind are fairly recent:

Nynaeve picking a herbthrowing fight with mother Guenna (and the look on E&E's faces)
Aludra! Fireworks!
Bigger Ogier. Much bigger. And. Eventually. Actionscenes with Ogier. Bring it :wave1:

"Speak we what language, Sounder of the Horn?"
One of my favourite lines in the whole series :D

My husband rides towards Tarwin's Gap. Will he ride alone?" "The Golden Crane flies for Tar'Mon Gaidon!"
Chills every time :D
 
Seeing the things from our age in the Panarch's Palace. Like the Mercedes logo, and a giraffe skeleton (I think)

I feel like they rushed the Tel'aran'rhiod teachings. One of the scenes I always liked that I wish they could have found a way to adapt for television is when Egwene is served tea, and it's too sweet, and she just thinks about it being less sweet and remarks to herself how that's not something you can do with the Power.

Definitely getting some of that with this season, and the battle of Two Rivers.
