  1. Especially with GoT I imagine a large amount of the increase would be to cover increasing cast wages. Largely unknowns at the start of the run eight seasons in they would be getting a bigger paypacket.
  2. Just on Gawyn and Egwene they were a special case. Because of the extreme feelings on both sides it made the individuals dream nearly impossible to escape from, strength in the dream was no protection, remember the wise ones making fun of one of their number for falling into her husbands dream and being unable to escape. Maybe it is possible this existed with Rand and Lanfear but I doubt it. T'A'R is a level playing field and is subject to the strength and how deeply the person is in the world from in the flesh to as light as using a dream ter'angreal for learning.
  3. I am not watching it again to double check but I got the impression that in about episode 3 she convinces him to go back to having a sexual relationship and then in the episode that Egwene catches them his shirt is undone to the waist and they are more intimate than just kissing. He at no point is reluctant. His reaction when confronted by Egwene is far more indicative of a stronger relationship than ex-lovers.
  4. Lanfear can shape the location and the environment around them but there is no indication that Rand and Egwene were anything but themselves and fully aware and fully conscious and fully in control of their own actions barring the physical limitation placed by Lanfear.
  5. I am not doing that my analysis is that Rand and Lanfear are fully awake fully aware and for all intents and purposes might as well be conducting the conversation in the dream as if they are in the same room as each other. Unless Lanfear is running some hidden manipulation of Rand and the viewer is not aware of he is complete control of his actions. That conclusion then informs as to the actions of the characters in the scene; it is not some deliberate attempt to arrive at an outcome.
  6. If that how you want to view those dreams as a discussion between Lanfear and Rands subconscious then fine. Nothing will convince me that is what we saw or what actually occurred. If his subconscious is what chose to sleep with Lanfear I in no way consider him at fault. If you were to accept my premiss that those conversations were between two people who were in effect fully conscious and aware would that change your opinion on his at fault level.
  7. Well the dreams mean absolutely nothing then if Rand is not actually a part of them in anything other than an utter dream state. Might as well have cut them all.
  8. Dream sequences where they might as well be in the same room as each other are fully aware that they are dreaming and that each of them is actually the actual person they are talking to. You are not going to change your mind no matter what information I provide so I suggest we stop.
  9. Well nothing of the context of any of the dream sequences that have occurred in the show between Rand and Lanfear in any way show this. They are all as clear as if the 2 people where carrying on a conversation or interaction in the same room as each other. You can keep pushing this argument till you are blue in the face but no scene in the show supports anything but this.
  10. That established nothing of the sort she saw Lanfear because she was in Rands dream at the time. It does not change the fact that Rand was fully aware of everything I have expounded on above. Rand was not going to be in multiple dreams.
  11. They are not just regular dreams. For all intents and purposes every time we have seen him in the dream with Lanfear he might as well have been fully awake because that was the level of interaction between them. He is fully aware. He knows he is with Lanfear. He is fully aware it is the actual person Lanfear and not a figment of his dreaming imagination. Unless you are alleging that she is using the power he is in full control of his faculties within these dreams even if he was brought there against his will. I am assuming that she is entering his dreams although the show has not really made this clear at the moment which is why the starting location is probably to do with Rand. Remember she did transport him to the waste and tied him to a wheel in a dream in season 2 I'm assuming that was not Rands dream choice. He might as well be fully awake and directly talking to Lanfear face to face unimpeded for how the show has set these dream sequences.
  12. You are right I can't believe this is even a discussion. adjective capable of thinking and expressing yourself in a clear and consistent manner “a lucid thinker” synonyms:coherent, logical rational consistent with or based on or using reason So he is thinking logically rationally and coherently and is fully aware that he is in a dream and talking to the real Lanfear and is not confused and you are arguing he is not capable of conscious choice? What are you talking about? Unless Lanfear is using the power on him there is nothing interfering with him making his own decisions. He is conscious within the dream.
  13. Rand is 100% lucid and fully aware that he is interacting with the real Lanfear during the dream. At no point is it even suggested that he is confused about what his dreams with Lanfear are.
  14. He knows who she is. If he does not inquire as to her methods or place limitations on how she achieves the aid he is being willfully ignorant. The fact that he enlisted her aid and it almost certainly led to deaths in Carihein is one of the worst moments in the series.
  15. Again you are defining it as purely the physical act and, on that definition alone, he has not. We do not have T'A'R I would argue there is no difference in any meaningful way between cheating sexually in T'A'R and cheating physically from the point of view of a monogamous relationship.
  16. I am not overly hung up on it other than the show has apparently in season 3 made them a couple again. I assume it was at least partly a way of showing Egwene's PTSD a bit. I know they had that fight at the end of season 1 but was it just a fight or did they have an official break up? There was that strange scene with Perrin and them. It is the overall issues for Rand as a character of him choosing to sleep with Lanfear knowing full well who she is that bothers me.
  17. If you are going to limit cheating to actual physical contact then maybe. But what he actually did is worse than anything short of actual physical in body cheating. And if you consider the nature of the dream it is so close as to hardly be a difference.
  18. I'm not really sure, honestly the only game I play consistently is WOW and it seems to me like they are basically promising to release what would amount to WOW and all its expansions in one go. I would assume that they would be angling for something slightly less team orientated than WOW. So something along the lines of dark souls gameplay that i have seen a bit of. Honestly the reviews would have to be insanely good for me to be likely to pick it up. WOW is my main game and then I sporadically play some Civ like games and the occasional tower defence
  19. How else? Ummm with the power. Rand was lucid in the dream and remembered them perfectly on exit. I thought you were alleging that she was using the power on him. No he could not expel her but she convinced him to do the things he did by simply talking to him not through the power or through force.
  20. No she can enter his dream without his choice that does not show she has manipulated him while in the dream. Apart from with words.
  21. Lanfear uses her abilities to share a dream with Rand but he hardly appears to actively want her to leave and at no point do we get any indication that she is forcing him to do anything against his will within the dream. You can claim that she is manipulating him but at no point is that actually shown.
  22. Rand is aware that the dreams are more than just his imagination and that he is in fact interacting with the real Lanfear.
  23. I am no expert on the whole red eagle/iwot thing but what they are promising is insane and just impossible not only in terms of time frame but in overall initial release on any timeframe.
  24. I am unsure some have said she was only accused others seem to believe she had been convicted
