I don't find the idea of a ter'angreal that could facilitate travel incredibly surprising. It's the consequences of said item that are the issue. If you have access to such an item it alters the world as it's value is immense.

Some of those limiters maybe valid. At the moment however the only information we have is that they can physically transport to the FFH and it must have been targeted to that location. 1 Seems unlikely having 2 separate entry portals and they require channeling at both at the same time seems very niche. If you had the ability to make a ter'angreal that functions as this one does why would you limit it in this manner? 2 Having an anchor point for the destination is entirely possible even likely I think. This however does not address the problem that they are using it for a selfish reason rather than to further their goals of saving the world. 3 See 1 4 If the gateway as such works without time limitations from TV it feels a strange rule that the other end functions differently. 5 See 2. This did not have to be an issue if the meeting was in the dream world it would have solved so many of the problems, but I believe the showrunners wanted so desperately to be able to say the sex actually occurred in the flesh they compromised the worldbuilding to achieve it. I genuinely enjoy having discussions like these examining the inner workings of a world I care deeply for is interesting and fun. No one wishes more than me that I was finding enjoyment from this show rather than fault. The level of excitement when I found out my favourite books where going to be on the screen was off the charts.

I did say it is not impossible for the blacks to make it work I'm not sure the blacks have the ability to use compulsion the ability they use on the bride sounded like purely a memory wipe. If they could use compulsion surely they would have used it on the bride. If you are memory wiping and killing every person that comes calling it will just raise more questions. Is it really a massive stretch to imagine in randland a witch hunt scenario when a group of 7 women move into a house and 30 to 40 people suddenly disappear from the area and who were together in that house.

A compulsive need to pick apart any one element of a story is, to me, an indicator that some distance needs to be put between the person who is feeling said need and the story itself Hardly complementary and about me and not the content. Word of God is still not content based information. Expecting people to have such information from an external source is not fair. As for your example I watched the entire Buffy and Angel runs and had no idea till you just mentioned it that Faith had a second name. It is also a poor comparison as Faith's second name has no world altering effects on the actual content. Using external sources to fill in story holes is terrible writing and TV practice.

I'm not sure but Tanchico had a ruler in the books and most rulers have some form of law enforcement be it efficient or corrupt. It's more those close to the 30 or 40 dead that i question not enquiring what happened. There did not appear to be any children present I think which is a bit weird but at least some of those present would have left children with people to be looked after you would think those people are going to try and return the kids. If there were kids i am assuming that the blacks did not kill them Liandrin freed the bride after all. dumping a load of mind washed kids out would cause question. It's all going to be a bit messy is all, not saying that the black sisters cannot deal with it but it is going to cause issues.

That might work for some of the people. But if your son, daughter, or parents had been invited to the wedding or your best friend even maybe those people are going to want to know what happened pretty much regardless or if not them directly they will go to whatever authorities are available.

And again you resort to attacking me. People pick apart the show and the books constantly I have seen people claiming that the choice of Liandrin to wear a red dress with black streaks was her proudly declaring her allegiance to the black ajah in the Hall. There was a multiple page conversation on the 3 oaths after the end of season 2. Fantasy and sci fi and renowned for exactly these types of discussion. It is not a very deep rabbit hole when you are using a Ter'angreal to travel across the entire world instantly in a world where travel is limited to horseback or ships at it's fastest. It damages the characters who have devoted their entire lives to finding the Dragon Reborn to use such an amazing device solely for their own gratification. And again as to your rant at people not accepting the established nature of the FFH the show has never actually confirmed the knowledge in the show it is entirely unfair to blame people for not having seen the showrunner in an external interview give that knowledge. How is it not conductive it is part of the show. I agreed with your guess that the Aes Sedai was Liandrin but in no way at the moment does that theory damage the story as much as the FFH manages to do for such a poor reason as to allow a sex scene to take place. Assuming that it was not just a throwaway line from Moiraine then my next guesses in order would have to be Elaidia or Cadsuane.

I did suggest it could be a ter'angreal in an edit to one of my earlier posts.

Yes but in the books they could always tie off weaves in the show only the forsaken have that ability at the moment. Eladia or Alviarin attempt to open Siuan box in the books and the contents are destroyed.

That could be right, the only thing I would add is that the flows looked to be fire not the best thing for manipulating a locking mechanism. I am assuming we will find out later this season or early next. If I was guessing though I think we will see the contents get turned to ash. If you had to guess do you think we will get a complicated lock and the contents exposed or a flash of fire? The other option would be that the chest is a Ter'angreal and the weaves lock it and when not correctly opened the contents are destroyed. See i do try and come up with things that support show desicions.

The weave that Siuan channeled into the Box in her study to protect it would that not have to be a tied off weave which I thought was not possible for show Aes Sedai.

@DigificWriter I am fairly sure this is going to make you mad. The FFH is a clear and unambiguous example of bad writing. It is classic style over substance. The showrunners wanted so badly for the lovers to have a sex scene in a fishing hut that they decided they were going to invent an item to physically transport them to it no matter the consequence of said item to the world they were building. They introduced an item that allows targeted travel across the world simply to facilitate that scene. Since part of the item is located in the tower there is not even any need for them to leave the tower to have a secret hookup as shown by Verins ability to make holes in the wall, with this ability the lovers could secretly meet up in the tower almost at will.

Sorry it was Mat that yelled it but Rand sat there like nothing had happened. A male channeler sitting in the heart of Aes Sedai power being called the Dragon and he just sits there grinning.

I am more accepting of the scenes outside the tavern one in regards to his mixed feelings about Lanfear, having him have the jokey boys to boys chat about sleeping with her just does not sit well there is no indication in that exchange that he has mixed feeling about it.

I think we must have if you think early books Rand would have sat in a tavern in the middle of Tar Valon and yelled the word Dragon.

Only extraneous if you choose to forget the show deliberately put it in, and you brought it up so you have clearly thought about it. I am simply questioning why it does not have a better use for such an amazing device. And I'm sorry but as for your vent the knowledge seems to have never been confirmed in show but in an outside interview. Being irritated that people are unaware of an interview outside the show is not fair.

So it's just you making a total guess and nothing more. Fair enough you might be right who knows. If you are right the item on the wall never left TV and there must be a device in the FFH that allows her to return to TV. If the item actually transports with her it becomes even more valuable as it allows travel to anywhere and back. I am assuming they did not actually find a Ter'angreal that was specifically attuned to Siuan's childhood home so they must have targeted it. These are all legitimate questions.

Is that just a guess or do you have an actual source for that? The issue is introducing it and never using it again for travel when its potential value is world bending poses questions that are not unreasonable in anyway.

You clearly don't. But when you put an object that can transport people across the world in an instant and then never use it again to transport people across the world despite enormous travel times it's not unreasonable to ask why. Moiraine i think had to travel past the FFH on the way back to TV why not use it.

Because an item that can transport you across the world in an instant is amazingly powerful. You cannot think of any uses for it?

@A Memory Of Why Compulsion | A Wheel of Time Wiki | Fandom Also says the weave is delivered then the victim is given a command to follow.

Maybe. By the way I giggled about the word compulse.

@A Memory Of Why Thats the end of the first meeting with Moggy

Still does not seem to give us much information of the limits of the Ter'angreal how did the destination get set can it be set somewhere else. It's a pretty incredible bit of equipment considering travelling is not around.

The start of the season is stained by the battle sequence. It's fine if you just want to watch what is admittedly pretty good CGI and turn your brain off as too it's logistics. The whole two rivers group and 3 Aiel just wandering around Tar Valon is just madness. The boys sitting in a tavern and yelling words like the two rivers and the dragon across the room after being warned that spies were everywhere just makes them morons especially for the male channeler. Moiraine and Lanfear working together I'm not sure just how much this would bother me without the books but it just feels totally wrong. Rand bragging about sleeping with Lanfear without any even seemingly mixed feeling, this is a creature of legendary evil used to scare children. Healing abilities are insane and have no consequences for the healed or the healer. Episode 2 is more difficult as a lot of the things I find objectionable are impossible to spilt from the books. Morgase is just an entirely new character and the whole opening to me just seems to be an attempt to be like GoT. Gaebril/Rahvins compulsion is massively OP especially with having a totally needless 10-year backstory. Time jumps and character locations are very hard to track. People are just immediately in the next location. The ways are just being used don't really feel super dangerous. The tower having a strange training ground inside and the princes just banging novices. The princes fight was silly and needlessly dangerous using real swords. Episode 3 had less going on and the damage was hence lessened. Too much focus on tower politics still. Could also be my dislike of the first 2 episodes of this season numbing me a bit. I have not started watching the new Daredevil as yet. I am not currently in a good place with marvel, since around Homecoming they have fallen off a cliff in quality to the point i am not watching either cinema or TV show releases, I am planning on trying new Daredevil. The original first season of Daredevil was great with 2 and 3 being worse Jessica Jones first season was very good with season 2 being a disappointment. The first season of Arcane I really enjoyed however the second season not so much I think partly because of the huge wait between seasons. Good Omens is excellent. Older stuff. Buffy, Angel, Expanse (early seasons) Firefly, Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me, Stargates, TNG Taskmaster UK I know not right category but if you are not watching it you are missing out. There would be others i am forgetting i'm sure.
