That if was only when she saw Mat, Perrin, Rand, Egwene together, was it an if. Which is clearly the Last Battle, before Rand entered the Pit Of Doom, which easily could have gone either way. Rand, Nyneave and Moiraine alone showed certainty, enough to know that what those three were going to do was important. She just had no idea that sealing the Bore was that important a thing to do. All the spark viewings fighting the darkness were their actions from the Merrilor meeting, to the Last Battle, to the sealing of the Bore, and only when Moiraine, Nyneave and Rand were together did the viewing show the sparks winning.

It was foreseen. Min saw that she had a part to play, as far back as Book 1. She saw sparks of light fighting the dark when it was just Moiraine and Nyneave alone in the room, and they exploded when she saw them both alone with Rand. What she saw in images, was the full sealing of the Dark One. Withour Moiraine or Nyneave, Rand fails his mission. Egwene and Elayne would both betray him for their positions and the entities they lead.

The highlight for me was the Rand stuff. All of that was scary to read the first time.

That is politics for you. It is boring if it works right. If it does not, then it gets VERY messy very quickly. Those pages also showed a totally different boon: one of the two Forsaken manipulating both sides of the White Tower, specifically Aran'gar working the Salidar Aes Sedai, did not catch what Egwene was doing either. It was the Dark One that specially ordered Egwene to be removed from the board, once he saw what she was doing.

The three duels occured, because Demandred was as powerful as Rand at Merrilor, except he needed a circle of 72 to get to that power level. Which made him an army unto himself. The duels happened, because each time Demandred came close to shattering one of Mat's battle fronts, and a sign of Mat's Ta'veren nature throwing random things to change the outcome, and it did it by throwing three men that made Demandred drop his focus on the greater battle. The main thing, is that the third duel finally worked. The main issue, is that the battle with Demandred was not the prophesied Tarmon Gai'don. That was about to be fought at Shayol Ghul, AFTER Demandred had fallen, and needed Perrin and Mat to fight the two threats coming to battle.

Got to disagree on that. If Judkins did not want the story done and did not love it, Rhuidean, and Mat with the Eelfinn would not exist. If he did not think that Siuan deserved a better send off than the off page death she got, and a better look at her character than even the books gave, she would not have showed up at all. She would just be name dropped the entire time. If Judkins was like DnD, Mat would have been killed off at the end of season 1, and would have done a stupid story to say Liandrin, or Lanfear did it. His story would have been totally cut out. Perrin if he was like the director of Last Jedi with Luke? He would be a drunk wife abusing hobo. The fact his favourite character is Egwene, we got her exactly how she is in the books character wise, as Rand was. Then, we got Faile, which is pretty much as I viewed her from the books.

That is my thinking on this as well. WOT will not get another shot at the screen in live action. Maybe video gaming is an option, and maybe an animated series. But, those two mediums are its last chances, and after this cancelling, even those two options become far harder for anyone to justify the effort in trying, both in numbers and in word of mouth. It is a real shame. I was really enjoying it, and looking forward to what came after.

The Age Of Legends did not have Aes Sedai in all positions of power. For example, the government structure, from the global form to the local ones, did not have Aes Sedai in it's representatives; even the Tamyrlin, whom could be summoned by it, was not involved in the day to day governance. Not all Healers were Aes Sedai, and not all engineers, manufacturers and farmers were Aes Sedai either; we just know that there were many that did all of those careers, on top of their Aes Sedai duties, which seemed to be utilised only at the request of the wider population, or the Hall of The Servants itself. It seems also that the only Aes Sedai that operated constantly as Aes Sedai, was the Hall, and it was to govern and discipline the Aes Sedai, and also to conduct teaching of new students. Everyone else was only active when needed for a project or situation that required them to be used; they always returned to their previous roles once that need was fulfilled. The only time the Aes Sedai were given full control of the world, was when the War Of Power erupted, and it was to Lews Therin specifically it was given to. If it was anything like our world, I doubt the Aes Sedai would convince it of trust to handle that responsibility before that point.

Yes, because Semirhage is both on the same strength level as Lanfear, and totally hates her, to the point Semirhage wants to torture her.

There is really only one change, and it is the last one. Instead of yelling at him to go to Rhuidean, they are going to yell go to The Fields Of Merrilor instead, or wherever the show is going to plop the Last Battle fight at. With the same result, that Mat is going to be Mat and fight and scrape every which way NOT to do that, but end up doing it anyway. I suspect the reason Mat has not done that yet, is because they do not know quite yet where the Last Battle will be fought in the show.

I agree, SinisterDeath. It is wrong to want that. But, at the same time, I get why some do. I have been there myself at least once.

If not Juilin.........was that Jain Farstrider?!?! He....seems to know what is going on.

That was due to WB not giving Peter the time to do the story after Guillermo left the film, and after WB deciding to split the thing into three. We are lucky he had the balls to come up with the White Council fight at Dul Guldur, which took place in the books the same year of The Battle Of Five Armies, and chose to use Gandalf's story absence for a large part of the story for all of that from the Ringwraith graves to that moment. Even his report to the White Council on that issue was after the Hobbit book was done, and Bilbo was back in the Shire in the source material. For me, Rafe gets plenty of slack from me, considering he has far too much source material to explore, and source materail he is huge fan of. Which, after other shows I have seen over the last 10 years, is a breath of fresh air.

That is like me. 8 small paperback novels, and 6 in the full size paperbacks. The only thing with mine, is all of them are British Orbit books.

I love that as well. It makes a great way of showing how the Dragon Reborn affects things, as the Shadow starts acting to weaken its biggest foe's chances later on.
