You'll learn some more, as you go along 😁

You'll love the Reds.

Absolutely. *Skips off, holding hands with my Brother. I mean my Heavy. My Brother who's not Heavy...* 🤔

Welcome to DM, Jermaine!

I wish those of us who read the Books could all just Travel to some central point.

I can't even find anyone in my area to watch the show with! *cries*

Buongiorno! Come stai?

I have filled out the form and am slightly intimidated by the rules. But think I understand them. 

It's ok - only the Greens really have whips and chains around here.

Plus I'm a lot bigger than I look. Terrifying, actually. I'm not scared to walk about forums without someone holding my hand.

I'm the Mommy, though - it's sort of obligatory to hold my hand when you walk around the Tower *angel face*

We have repeatedly been treated to scenes involving the one damane who has been hunting channelers. 
 

There have been several times now where we have had shots of her eyes expressing a certain degree of anguish at what is happening. 
 

Wonder if this is Alivia…

That would be neat. Hope they go somewhere with her character, even if not the Alivia route.

I enjoyed the episode overall but just to address one of the criticisms - isn't it obvious that Aviendha was absolutely taking the piss out of Perrin? And even when she said something like "But I would not be opposed" or something after laughing, isn't that just very on-brand for Aiel, especially Maidens? 

 

Yes it should be quite obvious!

I must say I love this Avi, though I don't think she's much like book Avi. More like Bain or Chiad.

@SinisterDeath isn't it also situational? For instance over at the White Tower, people can post at will.

Liking Moraine with her family, Barthaines seems to innocent to be a dark friend though. It feels like it will be moved to her sister, though I'm guessing the Queen. Need a reason to kick off the civil war, well probably be meeting the Queen in the next two eps and having her be a DF as an excuse to kill her this season before the marriage.. etc.

I'm liking this! Since they're changing so many characters (Uno was definitely not Uno, Lan's so not Lan, Aviendha seems more like Bain or Chiad, etc), I see no reason for them to NOT further confumble us bookies about characters and what they are ... LoL

Welcome to DM, Kat!

Have you been finding your way around the site ok?

Need any help or advice?

Welcome to DM, Rolan!

Lovely to see someone else here who's interested in the same things 😁

Have you had a look around Dragonmount yet? Got any questions?

So glad you enjoyed it, Patrick!

I must confess to being obsessed ... lol ... I've read the first few books over 30 times.

I still think it would be interesting to hear certain modern music, using non-modern instruments using entirely different or no-lyrics.

That is such a good idea! Love it 🙂

As for Rand's love life, even in this modern age polyamory is still a taboo.

I wonder if masochism is then also still a taboo? Because there have been hints of that taking place with Perin. If they take out the first, hopefully they don't put in the 2nd, because that would just be utterly hypocritical.

Think this is it https://youtu.be/K0ic8cJyZSk

That certainly looks a lot better! Thank you, Guire 🙂

Ooh thank you, SD! I've not heard that original before - I quite like it (especially that eerie opening!), but I must say I prefer the version they used for the trailer.

@SinisterDeath I've never actually seen A Knight's Tale, but now I'm going to have to! LoL

Have to disagree with your choice for the Ashaman going into battle, though ... much as I love that song, it's just too ... vanilla.

It's gotta be:

Lauren on Unraveling the Pattern has great slowed and frame by frame analysis that i think is about 95 % correct.

I was going to hit him up too, but thanks for making that point, Guire!

Someone  has also uped to 4k and images look even clearer and more detail to catch all the tiny details.

Oooh ... will you post here if you remember who?

Music is fine but to forward in trailer.  Distracts from content a lot.  Should have  been intertwined in backgroumd.  Down voted for way music was used.  Hope they dont keep this up and have music be more subtle.

I never even thought of that. It didn't bother me personally, but I can see how it could be off-putting to others.

Thanks for pointing that out, @Guire 🙂

So what do you guys think of the music to the trailer?

I absolutely loved the music. Hope they have more of that during the actual show.

All in all the trailer has me more excited for the show than I was before.

Rand looks scorchingly hot with his shaven head 😁

I've watched a few reactions to the show, and the 2 things that no-one seems to have mentioned so far are:

Perin with the child (except for @king of nowhere here)

Mat. Mat stabbing someone with a sword?

Ok so I've only watched some of the short reactions so far, so will see what the usual bunch like Wot Up and Dusty Wheel say, tonight. If we have electricity.

These things go by too fast for me so it's nice when they freeze frame and explain.

Oh and I love Adison from Everyday Negroes' nickname for the Dark Lady - Baby Mama 🤣🤣

(If you haven't watched their reaction to Season one or the Trailer for Season 2, do yourself a favour and watch! Also JoyScot13. They make the show better for me. And y'all know I wasn't a huge fan of Season 1, despite having a functioning brain and knowing they have to change some things 🙄)

pps @SinisterDeath: are we allowed to give links to the people who react? I can't quite remember.

I don't think we can really discard what seems unlikely to us, when it comes to this TV adaptation ... LoL!

Why is Mat weeping?

I just had a bit of a random idea:

In the last episode of Season 1, Moiraine asks that word be sent to the RED Ajah re Mat.

Was that just a red herring, or are they changing Mat's story so that he's actually able to Channel and the Reds Gentle him?
