I think it depends on how many doors the show will claim there are. Is there going to be one in Tear?

Moiriaine could easily shield him ,don't forget she had that little toy. Sammael can't overpower that.

The Finn looked way too much like it was from Dr Seuss to me, very cartoony.

Not the worst episode but really nothing stood out to me as great. I don't mind changes but they seem to be just going all over the place with things. I didn't hate it, but I don't see a reason to watch is again.

Alanna, she will probably not even be in S3E8 and will still somehow end up being stabbed,

The book

They were trying to out pain one another until the other gave in. Which should've been impossible, but this was thought up by the same people who invented lightsaber dagger,

I just chalk it up to a really bad scene in a really bad episode where few things made sense.

I mean Rafe already admitted Loial's "death" at the end of season 1 was a fake out to try and trick book readers in order to get them more emotionally invested. To make them think that maybe no character might be safe. Just seems like Alanna can't go a day without getting stabbed, it really must suck to be her warder. It does come off as lazy and starts to lose all meaning. Just like they fell into the Hollywood action movie nonsense of the bad guy kills everyone until the good guy is captured then suddenly he wants to talk. Only it was Perin who suddenly decided to speak to the evil man who just cut a lady's throat and smiled about it. I'm going to kill you but first let's have a chat.

At the end of episode 7 Rafe said Loial was cut for time, with only 8 episodes he pretty much admitted there were simply too many stories to fit in, so some had to go like Loial. It should be interesting if there is any Perin in the last episode because he had said something that made it seem like Perin might be done for the season.

Looks like we are getting a lot next week. Moraine vs Lanfear, tower divide, Rand breaking the Aiel.

Not the best episode, the series seems to struggle with battles. Aiel were flirting with Loial? healing *sighs* Perin watches Fain kill a lady then suddenly hesitates to kill Fain? Hated the whole make a deal with Fain. That addition made no sense, why not just have Fain escape the fight? The good in the show are rather stupid. Moraine, Rand all being chummy, Perin makes a deal with Fain?

I don't mind Valda dying, because in the book I don't think he does to much except become head of the white cloaks and assault Elayne's mom. I think it's probably for the best they ended him now.

Force ghost might be a bit much. We just saw them bring in Ishy for a cameo in season 3, I don't think it would be too big of a jump to think there might be Moraine cameos. Either dream world or people like Lan remembering things.

Season 2 showed they don't want to be without Rosamund Pike for too long, I can't see them going too long without her or bringing her back in some way in dreams etc. Unless maybe she had another commitment, They added stuff in season 2 for her so I just can't see her having a long absence.

I think Lord of Chaos is when Dem first appeared talking to the DO in the beginning and end.

If Samm takes Asmo's arc then my guess the last forsaken in Demandred. No need for Asmo and the other forsaken didn't do much in the books. Dem is the last main baddie not accounted for,

I think the biggest difference is in the books gleeman are flashy and full of themselves, here they look like commoners and Thom is more low key. Thom would perform on a stage and not in the middle of a crowd. I don't mind the character or change but at the moment it just doesn't feel like Thom.

Well stabbing doesn't seem to be fatal, seems like the only way you can't be healed is to have rocks fall on you.

He also just recovered from being stabbed, so he might decide a little protection couldn't hurt. In the book even Mat realized a little armor might not be such a bad thing. But the book really doesn't go into if Perin ever puts on a few pieces before going into a fight.

A weak way for Perin and Faile to bond over tragedy and left a lot of questions. Mom killed Faile's brother and Faile fled, so what happened to mom? It was just a weak way for Perin to transition in he understood and his killing his wife. Even though Perin did plant an axe in his wife, so not sure it's totally equal.

Could saving Mat break Nyn's block? I'm guessing it will be her since Mat is with them.

The interesting thing is since there has been no caravan into the waste how they plan to hide/disguise Samm as his teacher. Lanfear did say something to Moiraine about sending Rand a surprise and let Rand deal with it, so I think she meant for Rand to capture Samm. It would seem odd for them to off Samm so fast,

Seems like next week is a going to be a heavy two rivers episode.

Ohh I forgot about the moghi scene. Yeah it made no sense her wanting them to forget then leaves a scratch and takes the bracelet as if they wouldn't notice either.
