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.

Much like the showrunners you are style over substance. You accused me of maliciously misreading, you then realised you were wrong and decided not to issue a retraction. When I confronted you about this again you provided a deciding lacking apology in the form of mea culpa which would have been fine if it was purely a factual error that had occurred, but you had felt the need to embellish this substantive inaccuracy with the assertion that I was doing it maliciously, your style as it were. And you now claim that you were not forced into that apology despite it only occurring after I confronted you on it a second time. Grow up.

Small appreciation for the apology, only small because you had to be forced. Even without the threat to burn her it was a mob.

Even if I was to agree that your usage of it in this context was a correct one, which I am not, where exactly do you think the public outcry which you referenced would come from but from those closest to the killed. You have then admitted that those people would in fact care. Do you not think the relatives and those closest to 30 dead people would amount to a number that actually constitutes the public. I don't think the words "nobody would care" is inherently associated with a public outcry.

What a load of rubbish. No comment on your absurd accusation that I maliciously misrepresented the text of the book. Or is maliciously misread another misunderstood use of language.

Capturing Rahvin makes more sense from a book view. Demandred and Sammael hated LTT with a bone deep passion and they transferred that entire to Rand and considering we saw Sammael's scar it feels like that being kept is a strong possibility and that makes them ever agreeing to help him unlikely no matter the pressure applied. Rahvin and Asmo were enemies but not on the same personal hatred level as the others. Could we perhaps see a back firing compulsion weave like what occurred with Graendal as the means of capturing Rahvin?

I take your point but I feel the context is pretty self-evident in this case with my use of the word black.

A malicious misreading of the text you have to be joking. 36 torch wielding townsfolk gathered together yelling at Moiraine and threatening to burn her out is not a mob. That is a malicious misreading of the text is it. Take a step back dude and start to examine if your dislike of my criticism of the show has clouded your judgement.

Exactly. The idea that 30 people could be massacred at a wedding and nobody would care isn’t even far fetched in our real world. How am I interpreting that incorrectly. They are your exact words. How is my interpretation that you said it is not far fetched that 30 people could be killed in the real world and nobody would care inaccurate or absurd. You want me to reinterpret it to make it something you did not say and not the silly statement you actually made? You made the comment. Your words. Clear. I did not misinterpret it. If you made a mistake in what you wanted to get across that is your problem not mine. To accuse me of the error or deliberate wrongdoing is deceitful.

But Liandrin happily killed all the other women present, despite if as you claim she did it to save a girl from being forced into a marriage she did not want, that a number of them were probably in the same situation. Morgase morally flexible? The woman who thought to kill herself to stop her being used against Elayne. To the best of my knowledge Elaidia kept that foretelling a secret or maybe only told one person who I am fairly certain was not Morgase.

I'm not sure of what you speak. LTT and Rands ancestor in the AoL are not the same soul and they are not related. LTT and Rand are the same soul. The person with Lanfear is Rands blood relative. Reincarnation is not limited to your direct bloodline to the best of my knowledge.

Rand does not have to be LTT's relative. It's his soul reborn not a direct blood line. The visions are bloodline.

We did get a small glimpse in the LTT and Latra cold open but the outside was pretty brief.

Probably the only thing I would have changed is I would not have had Rand looking back at Muridin. The only way is forward by stepping back in time. He could see his face as he drew level and stepped past.

I did not gloss over your points i have already addressed them or addressed them in my response. If it leads to the riots it still makes the blacks stupid and careless and yes for this reason if we did not have GoT then I would still have a problem with this scene. If the scene made sense within the show even if it was a beat for beat theft from GoT I would have less problems with it.

I will split my feeling on this episode into 2 sections The section once they leave for Rhuiedian was excellent. Really enjoyed the vision sequences and it's the by far the best sequence from Josha in the show really felt like he actually had some good character development. The only issues where it felt like there was a fairly dazzling array of accents, and as I have seen mentioned and applies to the entire Aiel arc this season EXTRA's this is an expensive show spring for some bloody extra's to fill out the Aiel scenes. They surely can't cost that much. The section prior to Rhuiedian was the same show I have watched for the last 19 episodes. I am not going to go through everything I am excited that we actually got some genuinely excellent stuff for 40+minutes. Well done show.

I think expecting the studio to do anything but spin the numbers to put a positive angle on any decision is foolish. Even if they were to cancel the series they will say the numbers are good but attribute it to some other reason they are not going forward. Disney has found positive things to say about all it's SW tv series despite them being wound up.
