Cadsuane Melaidhrin _ who is your headcanon casting?
EmreY replied to Shawlee's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
Gwyneth Paltrow, and I will defend that. -
Liandrins potential end? what do we think.

WoT Season 2 Episode 8: What Was Meant to Be
EmreY replied to SinisterDeath's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
It appears that part of S3 is being shot in South Africa, specifically Capetown and the northern Cape area. Tear and the Waste in one shot? https://www.wotseries.com/2023/10/15/the-wheel-of-time-season-3-filming-south-africa-new-york-comic-con-news/ And Rafe hath spoken: more Rand and Perrin. Already mentioned before, here in more detail: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/wheel-of-time-season-3-book-4-sea-folk-aiel-waste-forsaken-1235618641/ -
WoT Season 2 Episode 8: What Was Meant to Be
EmreY replied to SinisterDeath's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
I'm not disputing that that was what the article said. I'm saying I'm glad that it was cut because why Perrin (other than the fact that he's there?). -

I'm very glad that was cut. Confesses to Perrin? -
WoT Season 2 - I WATCHED ALL THE EPISODES TOPIC
EmreY replied to SinisterDeath's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
Oh, the memes about Cadsuane and Rand. 🙂 -
Well, I still disagree. 🙂 My oldest friend - apparently we've known each other since I was three months old and he was a newborn - is still the very same naughty boy that he was in school, only he hides it better. 🙂 The same applies to everyone else I know too. So I find character development to be a bit tedious and wholly agree with Seinfeld. Buut OK if most of you like it, I can live with that, especially given the ages of the people in this series and the fact that they're going through some incredible stuff.

I have been thinking about this too, and wondering if someone else will take his place. Liandrin would be fun. 😮 -
Rands power growth, and why it should not match the books
EmreY replied to Scarloc99's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
I think part of the issue is that - as people have stated here - the opening books were sometimes all over the place regarding power levels. And not just Rand's by the way, but everyone else's, as witness the change in power ranks (we got three scales), not only in absolute terms, but sometimes relative as well. For example, Lanfear started off stronger than Semirhage, then they equalised, etc. The other part of the issue - at least for me - is that I know how strong Rand is, and not just in channelling, and so how ridiculous everything has been up to this point. I just want the TV series to hurry up, give me the full eight years or whatever it's going to be, so I can get to Veins of Gold and then the end. 🙂 -

Having binged S2 E4-8 for the third time (and figured out a few things I missed before), I started watching the Youtube reactions. It seems that people who've read all the books before vary between LIVID HATE and quite liking it. Non-book-readers are quite positive, even gushing, as well as rather intelligent, eg: My own favourite reactors remain Everyday Negroes, though I think Carinna will hate one rather important character in later episodes 😉 (Go to 45:50) and of course Laura Reactions not the least because she drops her h's and says "Râând" so nicely. 🙂 -

I disagree. However, it would have been nice for Rand to come into the courtyard with his sword drawn. -
Rand in his red jacket. Lanfear in anything.

To me, it seems that he first extends the shield and then absorbs the Isht-blasts.

IMO, slam dunks in S3: 1. Moiraine finds a tailor. And one for Rand too. 2. Rand gets another brand. 3. Rand gets a mark. (And maybe another.) 4. Rand enters a terangreal. 5. Rand starts having first person POV flashbacks. So you see, I expect a lot of Rand next year. 🙂

Continuing with the horn "problem", I'm surprised some die-hard WOT fan hasn't made a replica yet and seen what it really sounds like. -

For extra magic, everyone coming out of the fog could have one too. They could then proceed to blow away all enemies. -

Plus if all Josha's asked to do for 7 years is to make stoic or angry faces, he's going to end up like Henry Cavill. 🙂 -

EmreY replied to SinisterDeath's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
Yep, pretty much. However, even though I think I could cope with that, I am also on record as saying that if Rand doesn't do something Big at the end of the third series, I shall be very upset. If they don't show Rand the same care as they did to Nynaeve and Egwene, I'm afraid that people's attention may waver - including mine. So I think or I hope we shall see more of Rand, directly, interspersed with the aloof, arrogant, paranoid character he is to others. -

EmreY replied to SinisterDeath's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
Oh, no, I didn't want to imply that. I should have been clearer. The characterisation is substantial; only IMO Alfred is seriously "depowered", to borrow a phrase from WOT reactions, and Edward even more so. -

EmreY replied to SinisterDeath's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
I both fully agree with Elder_Haman (apart from his comment about Alfred (and even more so Edward)), and am also not entirely sure that the Rand we're seeing is depowered in the slightest (the reverse in the fact). Rand should, by rights, become even more enigmatic as time goes on. Nearly a sort of Sauron-in-inverse, he does actually occasionally turn up, pull something out of his hat that no-one expects or blast everything into smithereens - and then disappear. And people talk about him, right or wrong or pick up the pieces*. Until almost the very end of the books. *Eg: The Cleansing. Yes, there is some Rand there, but then everyone is off doing something too. -

It was never about Rand.
