  1. Yes she can. The show made no restriction to a Damane touching another A'dam collar. Only a restriction to touching their own. Putting a collar on another isn't "physically" harming" or an "act of violence" on the "sul'dam" like Egwene imagining using the water jug to bash Renna's head in. It's all about the mental premeditation game of intent. Putting the collar on is no more an act of violence then putting a necklace on Renna. This is the same way lies and the 3 oaths work. It's not a lie if someone believes something to be true.
  2. Putting the Collar on with no premeditated thoughts of harming her is 100% possible without being a "psycho". The "leaving her to hang" part, could be the a'dam's loop hole of the Damane being unable to "lift a hand" against the Sul'dam.. She didn't lift a hand, she used her mind. She can "think" harm against her Sul'dam. Which as we saw, she she did plenty of times in her cell when she fantasized about beating Renna's skull in with her fists.
  3. Yep. Because the a'dam literally doesn't let you do anything if it's premeditated. That was covered when Egwene fantasized about beating Renna to death. It's also theoretically possible that if you believe hard enough that you're just shaving their face and not slitting their throat, you might be able to do just that. But that requires a certain amount of psychotic break that's not going to be typically possible...
  4. As a reminder, can we keep this topic about Episode 8? If you have issues with staff, please take it to Personal Messages and work it out there? If you're particularly worked up about the episode, may I suggest take a breather? Go outside and touch some grass?
  5. I can use a gun as a spoon, just as Egwene can use a collar on her Sul'dam to make her look pretty. The trick is to not have premeditation in mind while using the device.
  6. You missed the last line. Like right now, they have 100% established a massive plot hole with the dagger in S2E8, considering what it did in S1E8.
  7. Correct. Either A) She broke the 3rd oath and she's Black Ajah. B) She never swore the 3rd oath. C) She swore a different 3rd oath that allows her to protect the dragon and her warder. Those are the only 3 possible options I see to keep the shows lore internally consistent.
  8. How did they know a fourth oath would even work if someone didn't try it already? Just like in the books if they know adding an oath beyond the 3rd works, someone had to have tried removing one.
  9. How am I stretching? Last season, they didn't show us the Gitara scene. So was it stretching when we said that Moiraine was there for the Gitara prophecies? We don't know that what they've changed, and they've already changed the 3 oaths by the very nature of introducing a 4th oath. We don't know that Siuane and Moiraine haven't figured out that you can unbind an oath and make a new oath and change the wording of the 3rd oath to include the dragon... And that they won't just include that as a flash back in season 3 or 4... That's stretching.
  10. Your ChatGPT nonsense aside, we don't know that show Moiraine & Siuan don't have a tweaked 3rd Oath due to their dragon connection. They've already changed things by having Moiraine swear a 4th oath...
  11. Eps 1-3 had 515M minutes watched. Ep4 also had 515M minutes watched... https://www.nielsen.com/top-ten/ *edit* Linked your post from 9/29/23 showing the 515M mins from the premier...
  12. Greta the barmaid is cleary the BBEG of the entire story. She's running a shadow network of mummy assassins, and she only went down that path because the players stiffed her on a bar tab 3 campaigns ago.
  13. I don't know. I tweeted that very question to Rafe... I doubt I'll get an answer. <_<
  14. That would be the correct number of episodes. 8 first season. 11 episodes as of Aug 31/Sep 1st. 12 episodes as of Sep 7th/Sep 8th.
  15. The wording Lan used was this. "You released my bond" I don't think she masked it. I think she literally un-bonded Lan, and what we saw was her re-bonding him. I really, really feel like we had a TON of cut content. Whether that's content that was shot and hit the cutting room floor, or content that was written but never filmed because of time constraints due to Amazon's stupid restrictions. White Cloaks know their incense. They do be good at covering up the smell of the devils lettuce.
  16. Yeah, I was a bit annoyed at that. She's a bloody wisdom. I'd think she'd at least know you should break the arrow off... On the other end. I don't think she's personally dealt with many arrow wounds, and if she's read about them at all... it probably said "push it through". At least she didn't yank it out, arrow head and all...
  17. Or the original source https://www.nielsen.com/top-ten/ I can't be the only one sussing Amazon's numbers being the same two weeks in a row like... Did they forget to submit the numbers correctly?
  18. I really need to finish watching Vikings... Almost makes me wish they tied the two series together... but ya know... bbc vs history channel...
  19. I will say, it is confusing as hell, that Ragnar Ragnarson has no relationship to Ragnar Lothbrok... But Uhtred's 2nd wife, is the great grand daughter of Ragnar Lothbrok. I was also surprised to learn that Ubba was Ragnar Lothbrok's son! I ended up looking up familial connections on the last kingdom wiki last night after hearing Ragnar Ragnarson's speech about "You know me, you know my family" just to see if he had any connection to the famous Ragnar...
  20. Two things. 1) How many people are actually watching/rating it on Prime? Shannara Chronicles didn't initially come out on Prime. It was originally an MTV show. 2) As of Season 2, I haven't been able to rate shit on Prime. The most I can do is give it a "thumbs up" but I can't actually give it "star rating". I can't do this on my TV, Phone, or Web. So who knows how many other's can't figure out how to "rate" the show on Prime.
  21. I recently started watching this show, after having it suggested... several times by @Elder_Haman. Last night I finished Season 3, Episode 3. I have never read the book series it's based on, and as a stand-alone TV series I'd say it's solid. I'd actually rank it above the Witcher in terms of Action/Drama/Plot. It's CGI budget is definitely lower than Witcher's CGI budget in Season 3, but that's apples to oranges. Season 1, Episode 1 had a fantastic battle scene that really set the stage for the entire show. Once the Danes put up their shield wall it left the audience saying: "Yeah, these British guys' are absolutely bloody fecked". As the season's progress, you start to see how these impressively trained Danes, can be paralyzed in the face of new scenarios, tactics and techniques that are introduced...
