I liked your vid. Hope you get paid To do Wot more often. 

They're not promo shots for Wheel of time. She'll likely have a wig in the show, as will Rosamund. 

The story was never about Rand. It was about all of them who's choices enabled him to become what he was and do what he did.

I also think you have to rework some or all of the Female Forsaken as, barring Semirahague who we don't see that much, the are depicted as incompetent or in Lanfear's case jealous and powerhungry. Also by the end, the survivors are all leashed to men. Another reason for Balth to stay dead is because he's depicted as a pervert when he's revived and that's controversy the show definitely doesn't need.

I'd rather have less of this kind of censorship and more of the things RJ wrote.

@imladMy guess is sister or girlfriend, maybe like Egwene was with Rand because as much as some dislike her, Faile is fairly important to the series and essentially ties the borderlands to the Dragon. Now I think all the web of interconnections like the Seanchan, the borderlands and the rest are going to be sped up and brought into the open so Faile will be extra important there. The only way I see her being his wife is if she dies on winternight or shortly before Faile.

The death of his wife/gf could also be the cause for the wolf dreams to start. Maybe Noam, with same kind of trauma, could replace Hopper as Perrin's teacher. It would make Perrin's struggle against the wolf side also more emotional to maybe see her dead ex there and angry Faile in the waking world. 

Dunno, might be good tv.

What's funny is, I think he'd be perfect for Asmodean.

Well, I've been listening to the audio books and Michael Kramer's Ishamael sounds very similar to BZ. I guess that's what made me so sympathetic towards him. I thought he did pretty well in the silly Winter Dragon and I understood his motives for doing it were good: Actor and fan doing a favor to a friend. So imo the hate towards Winter dragon should not be directed at him, I think he's a good actor and would probably do a good job in the show.

could be he hasn't heard of the series and didn't realize he has a maximum of three seasons before he's dead and there's another actor for Moridin.

The way I heard it is that Billy Zane is actually a big fan of the books and didn't know all that well what he was stepping into. So that would indicate he knows very well who Ishamael is and how long he'll be with the series.

Logain is, what, mid-30s? too old by far.

 

My money is Thom, Padan Fain, or a third, non-Tam option.

Yes, Logain was born 972NE and the series begin 998NE so that makes Logain 26yo. 

Looking at his facial appearance and body built, I'm inclined to say he's our Padan Fain. Hooked nose, thinly fellow. We'll see. He's got chops to do Thom, Tam or Fain imo so I can only guess and I'll be happy with any.

If I were them I might not put Bela in at all because if she dies gets lost like every other horse but Mandarb, you'll piss off hardcore fans and her being in 14 books and dying is also pointless. Unless you're going to make her a warhorse shadowfax type who survives there's really no point. I've been advised Sean Bean should be Ingtar as he usually dies as a good guy in fantasy.

I think it was mentioned they have named horses for the series, as in acting horses. I think we had a picture of Maddy with (alleged) Bela. 

Well, I wanna see a trolloc. Big, ugly, snouty/beaky/horney Trolloc. 

Also, wouldn't mind seeing actors in their role costumes. 

The obvious answer is casting news though.

Perrin and Rand needed 12 to 16 weeks in the gym at least. I understand that the actor comes first, but come on... Perrin should be a beast!

There's a difference between being strong and being a bodybuilder. There is no gyms in Randland, nor do we see Perrin having 7 meals a day and pumping iron 24/7.  So, strong yes, but any sort of bodybuilder mass would have worn off at the latest after they leave Two rivers and a blacksmith don't need that kind of muscles, only the ones he works with. 

I'm not concerned at all. 

I tend to rather have my expectations low and just try to enjoy tv-series as they are. 

Afaik there's no info on it yet, while Amazon has published series previously in binge-style. 

I'd prefer the weekly episodes, because of the hype it's able to build and it is easier (and more lucrative) to content creators who get to do more content that is valid for longer time for viewers. 

I thought the way Min dresses had something to do with some bad experiences when she was younger. I think it's mentioned around the time she spends with the tower Aes Sedai that she doesn't want to give the impression she's pretty and fragile because iirc she was sexually harrassed when she was younger and she blames the dresses. 

EDIT: Which itself is an important topic, and would not require LGTBQ-subjects. 

The shadow doesn't use circles, because they don't trust each other. The Dark One favors the strong and encourages fights between darkfriends. So, while the shadow COULD wield full circles, they would have to be forced to do it.

Well transferring the bond was necessary but in reality Lan needed Nynaeve which is why he comes back to life more when he is with her.

 

Incidentally did anyone read that as Lan being unfaithful?. I didn't as I viewed that there was a fair amount of compulsion involved. 

At that time Nynaeve wasn't an Aes Sedai and accepted can't have warders. So if Moiraine had let Lan either be without the bond or sent him to Nynaeve, I think he would have just sought death. 

They don't tell much about the sex between Lan and Myrelle, so I can't really say much whether or not it was consented or not. 

I pretty much agree with Jaglover. I think Elyas is problematic to keep as a character and they really need to put some meat on the bone for Elaida to be as indepth character as for example Cersei was. 

I'd live to see all the forsaken (they include in the series) expanded,at least with cinematic histories and how they joined the shadow and a bit of what they did during the War of shadow. 

Wrestlers are bodybuilders, showmen and models of sorts. Not swordsmen or soldiers. Daniel looks every bit a swordsman to me, no need to lube muscles and wear thongs.

He's going to have to hit the gym. One of the funniest moments in Crown of Swords is when Nyneave punches Lan in the stomach and hurts her hand and he barely seems to notice. 

Well, to me he seems reasonably muscular for a warder I'd say.

You keep referencing something RJ supposedly said, but don't link your source.

 

Re: Shienarians, you state he doesn't describe them as Asian.

He doesn't describe them as not Asian either.

 

Also, casting is unlikely to pick who you want, every time.

Mads Mek is simply to old.

If you go by height, he's to short.

The only thing he has that Daniel doesn't is blue eyes... Which can be fixed with CGI, or contacts, or both.

What often confuses me is that some people view different nations and cultures in Wheel of time representing a distinct culture of the real world. 

I like to think RJ took bits and pieces from here and there to complete his nations. So Shienarans for look like mongols with their top knots, while wearing european style breastplates with mail, armed with japanese katana/nodachi-style swords and european lances. 

While the Seanchan are dark skinned and small in size they seem to have same kind of imperial structures as the Romans had and they also have people as property. 

I think andorans I could point to a distinct region which seem to be northern europeans / celtic people. Only they gave their longbows to Two Rivers. 

So we have our Lan played by Daniel Henney. 

By the looks of him and what little I've seen him act, he'll fit right in. 

Oh, and the scene where Moiraine goes fishing, cheating with one power!

SPOILERS

Cleansing of Saidin is one among the scenes I wait. I think it was a wondrous thing to happen, yet action packed and emotional. 

Lan fighting Demandred in the Last Battle. Especially how that one ends. 

Two Rivers boys charging trollocs shouting in old tongue. 

Dumai's wells for sure.
