Wheel of Time Discussion - Spoilers(with book spoilers)

Would have disrupted the unity of the episode and could easily be done a different way at a different time.

We'll have to agree to disagree. It wouldn't have been disruptive.

You did ask why they did it. That's the reason. You might have done it differently, but I'm pretty sure that's why they did it.

Well, no. That MIGHT be the reason. Or it might not.

So after watching the new episode, it went a bit more wild with the changes than any other episode since the first. That said, the only real disappointment I had was when Moiraine opened the waygate. Loial was there and he was the one who should have opened it with the trefoil leaf. I didn't see any reason why it should have been her and not him.

Edit: Also, am I misremembering or did Mat not go to the Eye of the World with the others in the book?

Maybe they want it to be possible for human channelers to use these Ways, so that one of the protagonists can do so at need later.

Probably not, actually: the Ways don't get much traffic in the books.

Which doesn't mean they won't in the series.

I doubt that they will add much new material.

That could be. Was production not completed before the news of his leaving came out?

Set reports stated he wasn't seen during the last block of filming, which would cover the last two episodes. But the official news didn't come out until later - they wisely kept that under wraps until they hired his replacement...

Yeah, just have to wonder what happened there...

I really liked this episode. Nice to see Moiraine more vulnerable, and great acting in the banishing scene
