It's interesting because it might explain where Rand's madness comes from. Maybe part of the reason he is so fixated on having a Lews Therin persona in his head is because he experienced Ishamael calling him by that name over infinite lives/deaths.

I've heard samples of the books read by Kramer and Reading, but ever since I purchased Pike's narration of The Eye of The World I've been hooked on listening to her version. She has an incredible range, considering how many characters she has to play. You can tell she puts a lot of effort and focus into reading these books. I think some of her voice acting is a little inconsistent throughout the books, but it's not very noticeable at all.

I absolutely agree on going along with it. Like I said, my first impressions based off one head shot from both actors isn't a good litmus test for how they'll actually present themselves in the show. It was just odd to see what I thought opposite casting choices would be. I even think Featherston looks like Rand, which further added to my confusion that he would be playing Gawyn. @king of nowhereagreed on Lanfeare. She's not my type when it comes to most beautiful woman and the age gap between herself and the actor that plays Rand is constantly obvious, but she does commit to the role.

I'm so confused. When I first saw the front page post I thought immediately that Luke Featherston was Galad. He looks like a tall/dark/mysterious model-type. And Callum Kerr looks very comedic in this shot, so I figured, must be Gawyn. But it's the opposite?? Looks can be deceiving though, and I haven't seen previous work from either of them. Obviously both are really good looking dudes. What do you all think of this new round of casting choices?
