Female warriors would still be super rare.

I agree that they may not know Aiel on site like they most definitely would in TV. But any outsiders especially armed female ones would attract interest.

They may have just thought Burger King was opening a store so no big deal.

I don't think anyone has actually said this. What we have asked is to be closer to the books and not invent needless new arcs that sap the limited time available from the major characters. The production also thinks they can achieve the adaption in a timeframe and budget that they agreed to. If it's not enough they should have pitched something different.

Just to provide some information to put that into focus That is its engagement compared to the current number 1 Its engagement of 25.11 is less than half of Reacher which comes in at 52 and 65 for Invincible on the Amazon list

I dont think the whole season falls into this category. However most of episode 4 does and it could be a tipping point to correct the show. Episode 4 is currently at 9.5/10 on IMDB nearly a full point better than all other episodes this season. It is being praised from everyone here. My hope is that someone at the studio is taking notes on this and they change the direction to follow the books like this episode has done. This season is already made but the future could be bright. 9.5\10 on IMDB is just about the highest rank I have seen for anything.

My point was more concerning the fact that in our world we clearly don't have perfect gender identity at our birth gender. Religious beliefs are too varied to take them all into account.

Nice crop on that quote BTW completely ignore the fact you for no reason accused me of being malicious. Nothing of the sort has been proven. At no point I have done this. Frankly at this point I could not care how the rest of your day is considering the way you have behaved towards me.

no i meant that the linking arms things could have been the easter egg to the aiel vision

Like I said a little bit. It's not a massive thing but for a show that likes its easter eggs it feels like something that could have got a callback.

You are the one moving goalposts. I never said things like this did not happen in the real world. I disputed your stupid claim that no one would care. You can claim all you want that you intended it in a different manner than you expressed it. At best it is poor communication at worst it is deflection from a point you know was incorrect. I claimed the BA was stupid to potentially expose themselves to discovery by the mass murder of a large chunk of a community. I claim it as bad writing because it feels obvious to me and to a number of other people that the scene was inserted to simply try and ride the coattails of another show. I claim it as bad writing because it damages the competence of the BA. And you continue to argue with in book references to it's implausibility despite clear evidence to the contrary.

No you are the one hurling untrue insults.

I don't think you need to treat souls as being hard gendered as a negative thing in randland. Souls in randland are eternal. If you at that meta level of a soul are whichever gender you are it could be a good thing. In the real world a meta form like this is not applicable. And it is clear that some people feel they are not gender compatible with their birth gender and they should be fully able to transition to whatever gender they feel most at comfort with. Given the WoT never really digs into this issue it could be argued that the eternal souls are actually in their ideal and preferred gender identity for all time. I want to be very clear this is not a right wing argument that you are the gender of your birth but that because of the nature of the WoT universe everyone is always at peace with their eternal souls gender. I know you said that you did not want to get into this deeply I just thought this idea might be of some interest to you and unless you want to explore it further I will not revisit it with you.

It does have a little of the unused chekovs gun feel about it. It would have been very simple to have had Latra tell Rands ancestor the time to move out was because (insert name of city) had fallen and the Aiel there had song to him for hours as he (insert channeler name) had killed them one by. That said it was not vital it be included. Just maybe a small improvement or addition.

Despite tales of exactly this type of thing happening in the books in the form of mobs spurred on by fear and hatred attacking people suspected of using the power or being dark friends or the like. Despite the clear example in Emond's field a very stable and controlled village where Moiraine had helped not murdered. And you still think it impossible.
