Early Predictions - Place Your Bets!

Recommended Posts

The first three episodes amply demonstrate that the writers have made (ahem) a LOT of deviations from the source material, leading to some interesting debates and predictions. In this thread, we lay our markers down. I can't make a poll big enough for this, so please record your answers for posterity by posting them in this thread. Whomever gets the most picks right will win a trip to Prague and an Ed Sheeran-esque cameo in the show!* Make sure to get your picks in quick just in case Episode 4 provides any answers!

 

  1. Prologue
    • We’ll see it sometime in Season 1.
    • We’ll see it but not in Season 1.
    • No prologue. ?
  2. When will the Saidin/Saidar dichotomy and taint be clearly explained (in the show) consistent with book lore?
    • We'll see it sometime in Season 1.
    • We'll see it but not in Season 1.
    • Sorry, not gonna happen. "Gender" is, like, soooo outdated.
  3. Will the show combine Mashadar and Machin Shin into one thing?
    • Yes.
    • No.
  4. Will we get an "I'm going to be Aes Sedai!" or "You can be my warder, Rand!" silly-girl moment from Eg?
    • Yes.
    • No.
  5. We will get the exact words "Blood and Bloody Ashes" at some point during Season 1.
    • Yes.
    • No.
  6. The male channeler at the beginning of E1....
    • Totally Thom's poor nephew Owyn.
    • Some rando dude.
  7. What's the deal with Laila?
    • Shotgun wedding.
    • Darkfriend.
    • Both?!
    • Neither.
  8. Sigh... Mr. and Mrs. Cauthon
    • Irredeemable meth heads.
    • Total redemption story coming!
  9. Elyas (as a distinct and named character)?
    • Yes.
    • No.
  10. Hopper (as a distinct and named character who talks to Perrin)?
    • Yes.
    • No.
  11. Selene (as a distinct and named character)?
    • Yes.
    • No.
  12. Aginor and Balthamel at the Eye?
    • Yes, as two distinct characters.
    • Yes, but they'll be merged into one baddy.
    • These guys are gonzo from the show.
  13. Green Man?!
    • Yes.
    • Sorry, no Ents.
  14. When will Rand fight Ishamael?
    • At the Eye
    • Falme
    • Tear
  15. Rand will learn he isn't Tam's son....
    • This already happened, and we'll see it in a flashback.
    • Rand hasn't learned this yet.

 

* I have zero authority to promise this, but I'm sure Rafe will come through.
