hmm interesting that it is an xray.  wonder how many people will even watch these.  I've never even used xray so hopefully it isn't too hard to find these

Yeah, hopefully they market it enough

[Rose]

If they notice the x-ray thing isn't garnering enough views they might switch it up.

[DaddyFinn]

The episode titles are:

 

E1- The Breaking of the World
E2- The Fall of Manetheren
E3- The Greatest Warder
E4- Saidin, Saidar, Stone
E5 - The White Tower

 

I hope we'll get more each season. Stuff that is related to the ongoing story. For example something about Artur Hawkwing when we get to know the Seanchan a bit better.

E3 is Jearom? Or Lan? 

 

What is Stone? 

[Rose]

All I can think of is the Stone of Tear but that doesn't seem right.

 

I also want a Malkier episode at some point!

If the Greatest W is Lan that would be the Malkier story I assume

Oh, yeah! For some reason I don't think of Lan as the greatest warder but maybe.

Jearom is my guess. The beaten by a peasant thing.

The creation of the Stone of Tear and Callandor?

I assume that Stone would be the Stone of Tear.  

 

I saw a lot of comments on twitter about Jearom.   Given how much that story is based on the Japanese historical figure of Musashi it might open up some issues around cultural appropriation.

I just find it a strange way of writing it - "Saidin, Saidar, Stone" sounds like three similar things

[JaimAybara]

Could it be Jearom to set the stage for the encounter with Mat to make more sense for the viewer when Hammar gives his brief speech? 
 

*gahhhh haha DaddyFinn/TheDreadReader beat me. I agree.

i think more likely it will be lan, with some backstory for malkier.

 

if they talk about warders in general, i doubt they'll focus on a figure that's only mentioned a couple times otherwise in the books

I'd be more than fine with Lan's backstory. Jearom is just the first who comes to mind. Lan is definitely the greatest in current timeline

[JaimAybara]

Does anyone know how long these “shorts”, will be? 

[WhiteVeils]

I don't think it will be Lan....I think we'll see Lan's backstory in the live-action part of the show. It seems too fundamental, and they've cast for it.

Ya, it's way too important, emotional, surprising, etc. Guessing it will be in ep. 7 or 8.

[Ralph]

The info on the Prime page has been updated. Maps, timeline, character and artefact descriptions, lots of stuff

[ArrylT]

The Bonus content unfortunately doesnt work well on a PS3/PS4 / Game console platform.  But it does work very well on other platforms.   I just finished watching all the associated content for Episode 1.   Hard to express how I feel other than ? - stuff like this really makes me as a fan feel loved by the show.  ?

 

And it also showed more foreshadowing of a kind.  Take a comment by Rafe in one of the Behind the Scene videos.

 

Spoiler

Nynaeve pushes Egwene into a Leap of Faith early on.  Moiraine forces the EM5 (err 4) into their own leap of faith at the end of the episode.

 

All in all I am very appreciative of the bonus content.   I hope one day we'll get extended edition episodes, cast commentaries, and so forth.  But so far this has been so enjoyable.   

 

And admittedly it makes me even more likely to watch the episodes over and over time and time again - much like a wheel? ??.   Between easter eggs, foreshadowing, and being able to correlate to the behind the scenes while the episode is playing .... just wow.

Most of them seem to be 4-6 minutes in length.

[Canukistani]

any idea how to watch them without Prime?

[Reader]

I watched some of the behind the scenes footage the other day, I think on x-ray but not sure how to find it again.  The weird thing was that the sets looked really good in the behind the scenes footage of them filming the locations, but the realism didn't seem to come through as well in the show. Not sure if down to the lighting, or filters or whatever, I'm not an expert.
