They do? Why do you think that?
yeah, I don't remember anyone mentioning it in a previous episode ( think the only mention was "their Game of Houses", but not the old tongue name), I had to tell my husband what it meant, so yeah no one explained it.
Pretty sure that was the flicker flicker thing, I think we will see Rhuidean, that was why he saw himself dangling from a rope in that mirror vision.Not sure I like the cop-out of how Mat gets to Falme. And I hope that this high-on-tea thing was supposed to be the equivalent to what he learns in Rhuidean... Though it may be a replacement for flicker, but if so, I don't see why we needed it.
But very in character for Mat to drink the stupid tea
Considering that in the previous episode, Moiraine told him that she thought he'd make a good king, I doubt she knew, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to say that.
I wonder how much of the books storyline can be ‘done away with’ before it’s no longer the wheel of time.Considering that in the previous episode, Moiraine told him that she thought he'd make a good king, I doubt she knew, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to say that.
I'm still struggling with coming to terms with how Siuan is reacting to Rand and Moiraine both and her plans to try to keep him a White Tower prisoner because in the books, her and Moiraine's whole objective is to make sure Rand is free to affect the world. I get that in the show, she's more worried about the White Tower's handle on the whole situation, but it just irks me. I so badly wanted Rand to flex and bust out of that shield.
Loved Aviendha meeting up with Bain and Chiad. I wonder if Aviendha is just going to replace some of Gaul's plotlines now.
I can't wait for Egwene to get her revenge. Madeleine Madden is such a good actress. She really had me going once Renna explained about what the Seanchan were doing, I thought she was sofening up toward Renna a little bit, and then the "I will kill you" line came out and I geeked out so hard.
I was also geeking out hard with the Cat Crosses the Courtyard scene. That was something that I'd been looking forward to in season 1 and thought they were going to skip over entirely, but it was nice to see Rand and Lan bond a little bit.
Also with all this talk of prophecy about the Dragon proclaiming himself over Falme, I wonder if they're going to do away with the capture of the Stone of Tear. I know there are multiple prophecies and all, but how many times is he going to publicly announce who he is?
rightttt WoT is the perfect matrix for different adaptations, because an explanation of the differences between them is already native in the books
see that scene made no sense to me. afaik mat's 'past selves' was supposed to be about his kind of link to the Old Tongue and his past heroic incarnations, and that's a theme in the books for him. but now it's like. him.. drowning his family or something? 👍👍 okayy?
Agreed. That's more or less been my take on the TV show since S1. Thinking of it as a Mirror World allows me to release the expectation that it should be judged in terms of how well it performs as a 1:1 adaptation of the books, which it could never have been hoped to be. That lets me just enjoy it on its own terms and have fun with it.
I agree with you there, I can see the justification for tea as a method of imparting the info but what the heck *was* the info?? It was very weird and chaotic to me and hopefully I'll pick up more when I rewatch but eesh.
