Which was that?

NPC: "Bring me a bottle of McGuffin Red, and I'll tell you what you want to know."
PC: [trots over to inn]
Innkeep: "You can't get that stuff here, we will have to don elaborate disguises and sneak into a swanky party to steal it."
PCs: [groan]

Lol. Ah yes. I see what you mean.

Well, looks like all the roads are heading towards Falme and the finale, although we still need to get Mat and Min to Rand, and then all of them to Falme (via portal stone?)

Natasha O'Keefe is just killing it as Lanfear now that she's been unleashed from her Selene persona. The scene with her and Ishamael in TAR was really excellent, and I can't wait to see her and Rand's interaction now that she's got him in the dream world...

This seasons a lot better. Enjoyed the latest episode.

Best fantasy show in a long time.... Season 2 is really well written.

S2 is joining Shadow and Bone, House of the Dragon and Witcher (when it was good) for good recent fantasy shows.

Haven't watched the last season of Witcher yet .... shadow and bone is good, WoT is better for me

I must say, I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by this season. Lanfear is excellent, Ishmael is likeable, The damane scenes are very well done, as are the Aiel (one of the big risks imho) and I find I’m liking everyone, all the time.

It also feels like it’s getting back on track meta plot wise. Falme is a pivotal moment and everyone’s being brought together. Excellent.

I have really been enjoying this season. Characters are feeling more and more like their book counterparts. Pacing is way better (also way better than the books).

It does feel kind of video-gameist to me. Aside from the Fedex sidequests, we have convenient teleportation points connecting key locations so we don't need to bother with travel. Was this in the books?
