do the show need montage sequences?

[king of nowhere]

in the wheel of time, many characters go from zero to hero. they often do through training during time skips.

just in the current season, rand will have to learn the sword and the power. the girls spent months in training in tar valon, and now egwene will be trained in warfare as damane. yet we are not getting a feeling for this. we have exactly one scene of training in the tower. and so far, rand talking to a swordmaster once.

 

anyone else thinking that some training montage sequences to show the main characters spending a lot of time practicing would help immensely to convey the message "this character spent a few months practicing, expect a power up next time you see him"?

Depends, will they have "Eye of the Tiger" playing in the background? 

 

If yes, I am all for it. Otherwise, pass.

[Elgee]

Shouldn't that be "Eye of the Lopar"?

I thought the montage of Egwene in her cell did a really good job at showing the passage of time without being just flashes of cut scenes. They already IMO use too many fast scene breaks and camera cuts that make things hard to follow, if they tried to do similar for time passage I think it might be even more confusing.

But the problem with that was, egwene could not drink, because she could not get near the brooch.

So, while the show did great in giving the impression that weeks passed, it could not have been more than a couple of days

I got the impression that it was several days not weeks, the montage just showed how it was more than the couple of days of Renna saying she would be back the next day.

But she had no water except the brooch, which she could not drink. And she was clearly dehydrated as time progressed. So... what happened there?
