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.

I got the sense at first it was an epileptic seizure. I then thought it was due to no alcohol consumption. That is what I thought, anyway, since I have seen the signs of both in my life from family members, and both look identical. Or it is entirely possible Rahvin used compulsion on her, she is fighting it, and the battle is displaying that physical sign. Alice could be Aran'gar. We will just have to wait and see if Alice is part of Elaida's backstory, or is in fact something else altogether.

I loved Rahvin there, and seeing Sammael for the first time is great. The split beginning as a result of his presence makes much more sense now. Book Rahvin would not go near them in any way.

Oh, that is what I missed!! Thanks. I totally forgot about Jain.

Ishamael was actually spun out twice. It was in the Trolloc Wars that he earned the title Ba'alzamon. That was actually him in the flesh going around the world and launching Trolloc invasions in all three continents. The next time he was spun out, he acted as Wormtoungue tried to Theoden. Only here, he fully achieved his aims with Hawkwing, when the King sent his two heirs to the other continents on Ishamael's first word, then turned him on the Aes Sedai and his subjects with the second.

I know. The thing is, I never remember the really awful stuff once I watch it.

Go Titanic for worst film. The song alone dooms that thing. 7 times in one hour switching radio stations when that film released is insanity on full blast. There is an awesome Cage Match on here that totally redeems Twilight, in the Bela vs Bella match that is hilarious to read. I giggle every time she shows up now when I watch those films in the rare occasion I can stomach them for a little time.

Yes, Machin Shin is the corruption of saidin given physical form, but not as the madness unfolds in male channellers.
