Wheel of Time Discussion - Spoilers(with book spoilers)

[Mordhau]

A true badass will fight with one hand tied behind their back. Another point is to minimize broadcasting information to an opponent.

You cannot see my face as I am wearing a veil, but if you could you would see that I am smiling.
Why is that?
You see I am not one-armed.

 

[Parmandur]

It looked badass on camera.
That's all you need.

For sure. As long as they can keep up that quality, they are golden.

 

[Zardnaar]

For sure. As long as they can keep up that quality, they are golden.

Series overall been pretty good.

Might be better than GoT comparing season 1 to season 1.

 

[Maxperson]

There's a picture in the extras showing Fain at the Waygate holding a leaf-shaped key. Like with the picture of Rand and Tam escaping the trollocs that was released with the Episode 1 extras, this will presumably be shown in flashback. Presumably Loial didn't have one since the Ogier no longer use the Ways.

They leaves(keys) were left on the waygates themselves. Both inside and out.

 

[Maxperson]

I think the whole thing feels so janky and off is because it is. If they used the leaf to open the door initially, they could just use again to open the door again and not have to worry about Machin Shin.

They could have just done what they did in the books and have a dramatic narrow escape through the Faldara waygate and have the wind talking to them through it, but unable to get them.

 

[Maxperson]

I liked how ruthless Moiraine was in pursuing her goal in this episode. She sees darkness in Mat, she can't have Mat with her in the eye of the world, so she puts the red ajah after him. A dick move? sure. better then risking the Dragon Reborn turning to the Dark One. (I assume this is all different from the books because the actor bailed)

It also sets him up to be in the tower to meet and spar with Galad and Gawyn.

 

[Maxperson]

As a non book reader here’s what I got from them:
-red hair
-good fighters
-rare in this part of the world.

So when I saw pregnant lady, I assumed she was an Aiel

She didn't have red hair, though.

 

[Maxperson]

But the series suggests inhibits breathing.

So you take if off when you start fighting. Rather than the opposite.

That wasn't the impression I got. The impression I got was that she was in labor and breathing very heavily because of that, and just wanted her face clear. Not that she couldn't breathe in it.

 

[Bolares]

If she keeps the veil you can’t see her acting. Her acting made the scene

 

[Bolares]

She didn't have red hair, though.

Didn’t she?
