No ones ever really gone.

Any change in feeling now we know that Daise Congar a first time channeler can insta cast a shield as her very first use of the power. Surely experienced channelers would be better than a woman who found out she could channel the day before and had never embraced the source by herself before that day.

Well I am seriously hoping that they look at the fact that episode 4 was clearly the best received in this season if not the entire series and change course. Outside this I hope the show is cancelled as it is not good enough to warrant continuing.

LOL She convinced herself that hanging someone was not an attack. They broke the rules it was not some clever ruse they simply broke the rules. Which say it together class makes it bad writing.

Anyone want to have a chat about episode 1's battle in the tower now and how sitters could not produce shields because they were not trained to do so. Daise bloody Congar just produced a shield as her first channeling ability and it was insta cast as well!

Sloppy amateur garbage. Nearly impossible to tell what the hell was going on in the battle scenes, Dark scenes, jump cuts, characters seemingly teleporting into different positions. Impossible to tell which side was doing what. Despite all that and probably a sad point is that this was probably the best battle scene the show has produced. Easily better than the garbage ones in season 1 and it's a toss-up between it and the end of season 2. The obsession with maidens kiss needs to end. RIP Burger King. Bloody healing and pin cushion Alanna Please bloody stop with the Maksim and Alanna drivel end it now.

Look I am fine if they wanted to make that the first point in his luckiness being seen in the show (although a few dice games would be more appropriate than a major item being discovered would be better IMO). What I objected to is everyone in the in the thread relentlessly saying Mat is supernaturally lucky as to the reason why when to this point the show has not shown even one clear example of it being actually the case, if you were watching the show with zero book knowledge in no way would you consider Mat had more luck than any other character. At the moment it is entirely possible that the show will use the redstone doorway to give Mat his luck as one of their gifts. Which would mean he does not have that ability at this time. You may feel like it is a common theme in my posts but the show has been terrible at explaining just about everything.

The first part is more my belief that he may not have been invading the boys dreams in the book but rather drawing them to some type of meeting place with him. The later just lists some things that I think are suggestive that in the books he required some assistance to lock onto them with more precision apart from the fact that he could not achieve any contact with them before Fain returned to the 2 rivers which I think considering the timing is a far stronger conclusion than the others.

I'm going to vote for Pedro Pascal as he is in every show and movie at the moment so it's a strong chance.

I think some of the confusion is she actually says Great lords own luck and not the dark ones. Dool is incorrect.

I also think it's possible or probable that he was not in fact invading their dreams. I think he may have been more drawing them to him in a manner, remember near the end he has the 3 figures on the table and Mat picks up the one holding the dagger and it is only after that he grabs his own figure does Ishy say so that is who you are and the figures face becomes the same as his. This suggests to me that he is not clear on who is who and he is drawing all of them to him. If he was invading their dreams I would think the visions would be clear. We never get an Ishy PoV but that Mat interaction might suggest he does not see them clearly like the boys see him. So in essence Fain goes and recognizes all 3 boys. Ishy has descriptions of the boys from Fain. It is only through Fains(or maybe the fades) proximity that he is able to establish a link to their dreams but he still does not know which dream is which boy. As he is still partially trapped. The timing of his interaction with the boys in the dream world being directly after Fain arrives seems too coincidental to be anything but causal. Additional Focus narrows after Fain meets them in 2 rivers Gode at 4 Kings Fain/Beggar gets close to Rand in Camelyn Fain arrives at Fal Dara (Ingtar as well) After each of these they have the dream with the room and fireplace (sorry Gode is in the 4 Kings Inn but still more than just the chase). Most of the others I believe are them being chased in the maze or the mirror type areas.

Sorry to pop this comment up again but it has really been nagging at me. Are you seriously saying that you don't think the fact he is in a relationship with the showrunner might have had something to do with him getting the part? Have you looked at his filmography it is over a dozen years is very small and consists of almost entirely shorts and bit pieces in parts of TV shows. The highest rated piece is a half run in a youtube production with 6 min episodes ( the 2 I watched are terrible and not even the best actor in the world would have made a difference) For anyone that wanted a look at a young Napier or to watch the terrible program. This is the first episode he is in at the start of the 2nd season. I am judging his acting purely on what I see as the lack of skill he has in the WoT show. I feel that to date his filmography largely backs this up.

Most of it is from the information Moiraine gets from him in the books when he is captured outside Fal Dara. He is also described as having conducted acts and oaths that bound him to the DO much deeper than the average DF to go along with him being distilled.

Thats kind of my point though if you are watching without the book knowledge or are a non book watcher then you must feel it incredibly unlikely that some random dude they talked to just happened to know where and actually be able to procure the millennia old item they are searching for.

I think it was Fain's return to the 2 rivers's that initially allowed him to start touching the boy's dreams. having his special agent get close to them allowed him to lock onto his targets. Remember each year he was sent to the area he was interrogated and they narrowed the options till the last time he left Shayol Gul they had narrowed it to the 3 boys. If he had the ability to enter their dreams without Fain returning he surely would have. As the dreams always felt like if they had given in it would have allowed Ishy/dark one to tie maybe an unbreakable string to the boys. It would be an incredible coincidence that he was able to locate them in dream the exact same night his forces struck the 2 rivers. The same as when he is searching for them in the dream rather than pulling them directly to the fireplace room. This changes as soon as they are confronted by Gode in 4 kings, that night he is able to draw them to the room again. The more he touches them in the Dream the greater his ability to find them again becomes.

Except when he leaves the show. (I am only making a joke)

Well at this moment then without book knowledge Mat does not have any form of extra luck in the show so people need to stop giving it to him as an ability.

I'm done with this go and reread this line of posts yourself.

Everyone keeps referencing Mat being supernaturally lucky in the show, I am struggling to think of clear examples of when the show has shown this to actually be the case.

LOL No. You post answered a question that my post in no way asked. You used book information to back your theory I then answered with book information about that point that i thought relevant, you then switched the whole argument to show points. If you want to call mad and having a hissy fit then go ahead but the GiF was more about my frustration dealing with this line of foolish questioning.

So you are saying despite him knowing that it was one of 3 while Fain travelled back to the 2 rivers from Shayol Gull he decided not to invade their dreams and start pushing them towards the dark?

The whitebridge merchant in 4 kings. The nights preceding Ba'alzamon was searching for them in the dream then that night he is able to talk to them in the room. He says that Gode has located them for him. In the 2 rivers it is not until Fain visits the town that they start to have the dreams, If he had known that it was those 3 while Fain travelled surely he would have dream walked to them before Fain got there.

So much for the game of houses not being brought into Andor then. And you seriously believe that no type of force was exerted to bring about the murder of 4 family members. Morgase was still complicit despite whatever role Elaidia played.
