  1. The books never said she looked like a teenager. They only said she looked much younger than she did before her stilling. I always took this to mean early to mid 20’s instead of early to mid 30’s like I pictured the aes sedai. As far as the elayne story, thom was just as disgusted as you are with elayne’s actions but think about a teacher trying to fend of some delusional student with a crush. Unfortunately it happens. But it’s a part of elaynes growth as a woman and dealing with her feelings towards rand. The only “ick” would have been if Jordan would have had thom act on it. Back to the show…Gareth didn’t interact significantly with the ef5 until much later in the series (trying to avoid spoilers). However Bayle was mentioned heavily in TGH. So it explains why he is in this season. With the amount of changes they are making, not just with siuan but with egwene and her story, the ripple effects will most likely lead to Gareth not being around.
  2. I agree that these things SHOULD happen. But I highly doubt they will. With these makers Siuan and Moiraine are in love. Where does Gareth fit in to that? Gareth was my favorite General, surpassing even Davram. But I think the way this show is going neither will make more than a passing appearance. I think they will find a completely non book related reason to give Mat leadership if the show makes it that far.
  3. I completely agree. The makers are changing things they WANT to change, to create their own story that they believe will be better than Jordan’s, not things that NEED to be changed to make a successful adaptation to screen
  4. This is an excuse for the producers of this so called adaptation. It can’t really be considered an adaptation because the ENTIRE story is changed and even the characters involved in certain situations have changed. If you want to talk about cash grabs, think about how rosamund pike and Rafe Judkins have inserted moiraine into events she was not present for and how the male characters have been extremely down played in order to appeal to more of a liberal audience (to put it pc). I’m still hoping this show gets cancelled and someone else can make an effort to actually adapt the WOT for the screen. Because this show isn’t the WOT
  5. I’m re-reading the series for the umpteenth time and I’m on book 4. The Shadow Rising Does anyone know what the Snakes meant when they told Mat “To die and live again, and live once more a part of what was!”…? I get the “die and live again” part. Either rhuidean or caemlyn. But the “live once more a part of what was!” is confusing me. I can’t remember anything in any of the books that would fit. I must be forgetting something. Can someone remind me?
