Wheel of Time Discussion - Spoilers(with book spoilers)

Didn’t she?

Nope. She's blond.

 

[MarkB]

She didn't have red hair, though.

Redder than Rand's. Her, I immediately associated with the earlier description of red-haired warriors. Rand, I didn't even consider until Loial basically stated it outright.

It didn't really bother me but it seemed odd that they interpreted the veil as being something like a mask that stops you breathing properly and therefore she takes it off.

The problem with this is that a group of badass warriors who wear masks that inhibit their breathing is silly.

Mind you, I'm not sure, if it's really possible to have the veil and not have it inhibit breath, so maybe it's the basic concept that is flawed (but if so it's probably not the best idea to draw attention to it).

People have drawn breath while wearing veils for a long time. Veils do exist… they’re particularly sensible in sandy dry climates.

Don’t forget that Tigraine isn’t actually an Aiel

Watch when she takes off the helm(or whatever it is) and leans back against the rock. It's blond.

 

[Parmandur]

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

Decent way to introduce the Trakand family.

She has Ji

Good episode. It's really rocketing along.

They haven't explained the heron-marked blade yet. Am I misremembering, or by this point in the story hadn't that gotten Rand into trouble a couple of times already? It makes his father's backstory very interesting and deep -- might have made the reveal in this episode stronger.

For it to achieve it's full power it has to eat a pond full of goldfish.

Well, there was a leak of Episode 8 images, showing the Seanchan, before it was taken back down in haste. There were a few shots of some Seanchan on their ships, with damene and sul'dam at the front, using the Power to propel the ships through the waves. The bracelets and collars are there, but due to the angle, it's hard to tell if they have leashes connecting the two. And the Seanchan troops have suitably weird insectoid armor...

Yech! I think I'd mostly blocked out that particular aspect of the books.
