Yeah they can channel over a fair distance, I think it's a sight limitation or some such. E.g. Carrheinin battle, Rand an Co in the tower were using a telescope to take advantage of this.

A bit of a missed opportunity to clean this up by having Fain drop a line saying how the dagger is getting stronger the longer it's away from SL.

Well obviously there was a legion of kids with incense burners? And.. there was fog shown in that first scene.. Honestly maybe it's just magic 🫠 Seriously, the whitecloak charge was cool. I thoroughly enjoyed it, it was kinda the coolest part for the best battle in cinema history - only slightly sarcastic here, I really did think it was cool 🫣

I think you're right, it makes sense that Ishy, the master manipulator is playing games here. There's no way Eggy could hold him off, the strongest channeller in world - but it would push her arrogance. Theres no reason he didn't kill Nyn and / or Elayne, Eggy was on the defensive and we saw how fast the Forsaken can channel. Why use the Demane against Rand when he had 6 Forsaken who could wreck the city? Also, how easily he was killed and why he didnt heal. He basically welcomed it, which fits but still.. really does bug me Ishy "sheathed the sword". Even if this is true, its still underwhelming. It makes sense in the long run but it looks silly.. Ishy playing games is the best case scenario 🫨 Thankfully the last scene was a banger.

I'm thinking it may be a trigger to the holes in his memories, though maybe I'm just keen for some fins. I was surprised at how I too thought that was great. Couldnt help but laugh, they bigged it up in the trailers and.. lol! They bloody Indiana Jones it 😅 Notice how the all died on their knees, head bowed to Rand. If I didn't know better I'd swear there was a Tar'vareen about. Agree, there was like a nearly 5 second cut with the lady samurai hero just slicing throught the Seanchan that looked amazing. Everything else was like they were only aloud to do one thing before the cut, quite jarring.

I've read theories that I think could work.. Barthanes merged with the rebel (Toram?), Caroline Demondreds "cousin", he hooks up with Fain and is killed by Lan in Far Madding. Anvaere merged with Colavere, I can see this having an impact with Rand not wanting to kill her. I agree Ishy and Lanfear are amazing in this adaption but I hope they keep the DOs body swap mechanic. It really ups the anti for how crazy the shadow is and also shows how the DO breaks the rules.

Fail also has to put up with Perrin smelling her emotions, poor girl doesn't get a chance to deal with them, even if she knows they're wrong or stupid. You can see her struggle with this in the books and if you ignore what Perrin smells she's not as big of a B. You know.. girls love it when you tell them they're being emotional. It shows how much you love and care for them and will instantly calm them down. Give it a go guys 😉

So I just had a thought, I guess now we can say.. Moraine is far more dangerous 🤫

I feel like the answer to the Adam removal is obvious, and since no one else is going to say it I will..

That was some half assed sponging though, even the repressed whitecloaks did a better job of bathing. Regarding the Adam removal, I've read someone speculating the ring the Suldam wear which has a similar symbol to the Adams chest piece is used as a key to unlock the Adam.

Whilst I liked this episode it feels a bit.. off. Especially coming from the last three banger episodes. Loved Lanfear, sporting her favourite colors having a guy ole time with some casual murdering. Just tickles me this is where we finally see her in white and silver. Fun nod to Lanfears secret fast travel and how she's playing her own game putting a hit on Moraine. "This a sex thing or a murder thing?" Ishy turning around to consider gave me a chuckle - "neither unfortunately" Eggys training was cool, Renna's facial acting is superb. I swear that girl doesn't know how to blink. Liked how she was trying to be patient and understanding and Eggy's all like - lol, im totally going to kill you 😇 While we're here, what's up with Eggy's capturers bathing her? I thought it was Elayne that has a thing for baths 😅

What's the chances Matt notices Rand and Lans "confrontation", joins in and puts Alannas Warders in their place?

The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills dude 😉 Cool thought though, it doesn't matter what the shadow does the "Wheel" compensates so the shadow never can win.. Poor Ishy 🥲

@DreadLord31 (quotes aren't liking me, this is referring your last comment) Reddits resident Brown has been doing some stats for the show, interestingly for season two so far, the top 5 characters vs screen time includes four of the E5.

I don't think so, Liandrins been outed as black. Granted only the girls know at this stage which is the same as the books, pretty sure Verin outed her when she got back to the tower in TDR with the girls, which precipitated the group of blacks fleeing.? We haven't seen anything come from Verins sleuthing yet so I'd guess that'll come to a head soon, plus we saw in the trailer Liandrin, hiding in a cloak looking shady - potentially fleeing 😉 I'm thinking this'll set up the Tanchico plot with Moggy for next season.

You guys are weird.. not that there's anything wrong with that, consentually speaking. Like, my mind is totally at least a little corrupted. Crikey, I even noticed the giant hidden innuendo of the cleansing most people miss. But I never read the Damane and Suldum relationships with any sexual connotations, only ever been as horrible, dehumanising slavery. Well, it's not a stretch to get there guess, I just never thought that way. Guess that's the cool thing about art, it's beauty and meaning lie in the eyes of.the beholder 😇

Nyn: I'm not pacing..! I'm investigating 😅 I noticed Lanfear used those "invisible" weaves again in the Liandrin scene. Wonder what that's about? True Power that Rand and Liandrin can't see or inverted weaves?

Well that was another fun episode.. The Damane training was.. 🤮 Was a little worried they were going to pull there punches with this but it didn't dissapoint. The casual cruelty is sickening and horrifying, Maddy had a lot to work with and smashed it, that ending was heartbreaking. Bloody Renna, bloody Seanchan! Cannot wait for some comeuppance, Eggy Gunnar show them what they taught her 😈 Loving Lanfear without her mask and playing her own games, calling Rand Lews Therin (she said the thing!). Ishy dear - lol! Question, was that Ishy or did Lanfear dream him. For some reason I can't imagine she'd call him that to his face. Something about Barthaines seems off this episode, I take it back and now think hes allegiance will match the books. Nyn & Elayne were fun and doing well together on screen, that's nice considering they spend alot of time together moving forward. Weird they had Nyn do the understand the Adam thing, don't know what to think about that and was the only thing I shook my head at this ep. Overall, these last 3 episodes are raising my faith in the show and I'm excited for the next 2.

Yeah dude, a multi-million dollar spin off filled with innuendos and an absurd amount of spankings, laughter and tears 🙃

Lol! You're really trying to push the feather up the mountain with this aren't you? 😅 As I stated the episode gave us enough info to show the Shadow works in mysterious "ways". Seriously, where did this wagon come from you mentioned? You're obviously biased argument is filling in the blanks to suit your negative narative dude. Ok, how about this.. Liandrin put the unconscious, shielded girls in a "wagon", used masks of mirrors (covered them with a blanket) and had a darkfriend who is terrified of Ishy to help get them out of the city..? Again, why should the show waste more time explaining this?

Regarding Liandrins kidnapping.. As much as I enjoy watching the Mods bash their heads against a wall this really is a redundant argument. Why waste precious screen time on what is essentially a minor quibble, book fans can easily find numerous ways to explain this away and there's enough shown in this episode for show only fans to understand.. Their next scene Liandrin outs herself as black, following that her and Suroth show this is their Masters plan who we know is Ishy. We also have Ishy telling Lanfear how he doesn't waste lives he can use.. Adding that together is it really that far of a leap to suggest that a member of the Black Ajah, on orders from Ishy who is the leader of the Forsaken, wouldn't have the resources to pull off this kidnapping? Don't get me wrong, there's been some questionable writing / plots.. but I don't think this is bad writing, just unnecessary to explain further. I'm curious to know if show only fans have an issue with this?

I speculated on this when it aired, but I think Rands odd behaviour here may be due to early channelling issues, most likely due to helping Bela. Matt echoed my thoughts of Rands little bit chilly joke, he laughs at Matt when he gets robbed and is a dick to him throughout those scenes.

Well that's a bit handwavey, my handwayvey response is.. do you think the warders (a warder) didn't scout the area and notice a 4th dead fade? To be clear, I'm insinuating a potential lie from Verin. It's confirmed! This season ends with modern day brittish police being summoned by the horn, storming the set yelling this is the last battle and we cannot continue due to the writer's strike 😙

Didn't Verin say there were 3? 🤔

Not sure if we should make this it's own thread or move it to the one from last year but now that we've got two more Forsaken confirmed we can guess how they match with the statues.. From the left: Moggy - nothing to go off other than she's confirmed and isn't the other female statues Semihage - not confirmed but the only other female could be Mesaana and this statue reminds me of her Sammael - poor lil dude Ishy - confirmed in the episode Lanfear - moon belt Asmo - dudes holding a guitar / lute Demondred - guessing as he's more important than the other male possibilities Graendel- confirmed, also boobs..
