    And while European wolves are typically smaller than North American wolves these wolf-dogs are smaller still. Even with that I prefer having the actual animals on set compared to GoT where they had to cut nearly all instances of the Dire Wolves due to budget. Yes, I wish we could have actual big bois wolves in the show but it just is not practical. And I am quite happy with how they are portraying the wolves with the restrictions they have. Also yes, I teared up at Hopper trying to fly. It was a perfect scene.

    Absolutely agree on these points. The amount of joy on my face during the Hopper scene mirrored the Joy on Perrins face. That was just such a special moment.

    Maybe a forbidden romance between teacher and student.

    I oddly didn't notice the glitching on my first watch. When I watched it again this evening I noticed it part way through. It was a solid way of representing Tel-aran'rhiod. Next time I watch I will have to see if anything moves around or if candles flicker off or not.

    Very much noticed that! I do appreciate the old world ruins that keep popping up I think that the only scene that scene that was shown out of order was Ishy waking Lanfear. We heard Bayle Domon say that Moondial shattered months previous and that is what the dark prophecy was written on. I presume the Moondial is what Ishy shattered at the beginning of the episode. But yeah the timelines might be a little off, what with all the traveling. One final thing I appreciate is that Selene took Rand out to Kinslayers Dagger to re-enact the book scene of ambushing him with a creature to force him to channel. I would have preferred seeing Rand dispatch one Fade with the sword before two more appear forcing him to channel. But what can you do. I have a feeling that his episode is the calm before the storm. I think events are going to start ratcheting up.

    I was confused at first about some of Lan's conversations with Alanna and her warders and then it donned on me. They don't know that Moiraine has been cut off from the source. They believe that Moiraine released her bond to Lan. Once I realized that the conversations made more sense. As to Lanfear regenerating it also stood out to me as a very odd and abrupt change. But after thinking it over night the Forsaken in the books also cannot be killed my normal means it just takes a couple of extra steps. The Dark One won't let them die either way. I also appreciated seeing the Saa flash over her eyes.

    And that particular damane came with Suroth and wasn't apart of the attack. So it makes he seem even more special.
  8. Skipp
    I am thinking they only went to the tower to "Off Load" Lan. But now we also have Verin gathering some information for her. Don't think Moiraine will be sticking around.

    Might not be a tinker. The outfit the child and mother are wearing are very similar to style that is being used for Amoth Plain and Amadicia according to some bts stuff. Also the building being a 6 pointed star which happens to be part of the symbol for Amadcia. Might just be coincidence.

    Concerning Moiraine and writing Rosamund out of the show, My theory to have your cake and eat it too would be to have Moiraine "die" but the actor is kept around as a madness to Rand. To help so Rand's madness on screen I am hoping they will have the LTT actor on set, rather than just a voice, to argue with Rand before cutting to see others reactions to Rand arguing with nothing. I feel they could use Moiraine the same way to really crush Rand with guilt.
  11. Skipp
    Not to mention that the lesson Alanna gives in the kitchen is clearly forshadowing that event, right?
  12. Skipp
    Agreed! Just saw EverydayNegro's reation to And that is why the did that scene. Their reaction to it tells me they sold it properly.
  13. Skipp
    In the books Atuan's mill was attacked by the Seanchan if my memory serves me correct. Perrin and the gang pass through there looking for Fain. The people are evasive and don't want to say what happened but there was a large scorch mark in the middle of the village that makes Hurin vomit just by being near. So if my memory isn't failing me the Seanchan will make a scene even in small villages.

    At least in the case of Loial we have zero idea on what the effects of the dagger are on what are essentially Alternate reality aliens are.
  15. Skipp
    They didn't know that stilling makes the Aes Sedai de-age.
  16. Skipp
    This is something that is not addressed in the books and might be a change for the show. Masking the bond is never stated to remove the other bonuses warders receive but what if it does? In season 1 ep 6 Moiraine masks the bond to go visit Suian. Lan approaches her and says " I can't protect you if I can't feel you". This could be hinting to losing the other bonuses or could just be him having comfort knowing that she feels that she is safe. Masking the bond for long periods at a time and its effects are just never addressed. On another hand this might just be more evidence that Moiraine is actually severed. Lan does say that he "should have felt the fades" so it does seem he has lost his warder sense.
  17. Skipp
    To add to this we know the White Tower and Aes Sedai in general avoid talking about the effects of Severing. The push away sisters who have been burnout and the such. So it is quite possible that they don't fully understand the effects and need a bit of a refresher from a sister who isn't offended by the topic.

    I loved the battle scene at the end of the 2nd episode. I preferred it immensely more than the fade fight in the first. Although credit where its due, Lan took on 3 fades and killed 2. But the action was too many quick cuts to be enjoyable. But yeah Masema kicked some ass and seeing Loial toss people around like sacks was fantastic.
  19. Skipp
    Absolutely love how they look on Elyas. I could never really picture why the felt so unnatural that people would be scared by them. But now visually seeing them, my god do they stand out. On a related tanget, I appreciate how they seem to be combining the sniffer abilities with the wolf senses. I wasn't sure how you would convey smells onscreen and am currently happy with the results.
  20. Skipp
    It was certainly shocking to see on screen and I am sure Min was went immediately from "this guy is silly but fun" to "whom am I really getting to know" especially since she seemed to recognize Rand. Upon thinking it over my wild theory is that Mat and Fain have been "entangled"(for the lack of a better word) due to the dagger. And that is what Min was seeing. I am probably wildly off base though.
  21. Skipp
    to soon
  22. Skipp
    Agreed, I muted the video and just read the captions part way through.
  23. Skipp
    New video on Prime youtube. New scenes when they talk about Mat, Aviendha and Selene, all in the 2nd half of the video.
  24. Skipp
    Also possible why they couldn't open it to go get Mat. If channeling is the only way to open the ways and channeling risks summoning Ma'chin..... Certainly plausible
  25. Skipp
    Agreed, the "Tell: was not a good plot device. I believe Lan was underused in episode 8 because Daniel Henney had other filming obligations and couldn't be on set. That might be faulty memory as I don't have the source on hand.
