You were one of my favorite reactors of the 1st season. So happy we're back at it!!:D As book reader, watching non-readers react to this world we have loved for decades, is a pure delight. Ty!
Yeey you're back reacting to this! About being stilled (when a female user of the One Power is cut off from being able to use weaves), the best way to conceptualise it is that it's like a heroin addict being forced to suddenly go cold turkey except that you have heroin constantly dangled in front of you. In the books the One Power has an addictive quality to it and users of the One Power who have been gentled/stilled can still feel the One Power, they just can't touch it. It's such a huge torment that almost all of them kill themselves.
Book wise perrin's sense of smell etc is so refined that he can put together what happened afterwards through use of it. I was wondering how they would translate to visual medium and I feel like this is a good in between.
It's been so long, I'd almost forgotten how delightful it is to watch your reactions, Aisha. Witty and insightful! Looking forward to the rest of the season!
Finally, someone understands Moiraine's status. So many people are sick of Show Moiraine being disgusting to Lan, but they don't get the context. It's like being an Olympic runner then suddenly someone tears out ALL your limbs. Sure you can eat, talk and watch TV, but are you going to be loving and caring after being raped and mutilated? People have been cruel for the tiniest traumas, and Moiraine has had the worst fate a character in WoT could ever have. It doesn't justify what she does, but we can't be high and mighty when we can't put ourselves in her shoes. (Although the Show likes us to deliberate whether she's Stilled or Shielded, part of the recurring guessing game.)
So true! Moiraine's behaviour isn't nice or fair but she's clearly still hurting and traumatized and we often can't be our best selves in those times. Couple that with how close he is to her and it makes it even more difficult. If only there were mental health services in this world lol
This honestly. I felt like Lan wasn't being understanding enough of her situation. Being gentled/stilled is extremely traumatic and typically people who are gentled/stilled end up committing suicide because of how torturous it is to be able to feel the One Power but not touch it.
Found your channel by chance… please adopt me and come live in Paris so I can watch the rest of the season with you! You look so much fun to be around ! Sorry for the crappy English :D
@@AishaWilson avec grand plaisir ! I’d love to show you around and have a mini tv marathon :D Are you coming over for real ? Cuz if you do first bottle of wine is on me! 💖
Nynaeve is a badazz but i was like don't drink that!!!😮 Lan is my homie he needs to leave old girl Moraine (leaving at night by herself with no powers, almost getting both her & Lan killed-then getting mad at HIM for losing against 3 fades 😅🙄 ) & bond with Nynaeve instead since they're already is love. YES THANK YOU DANIEL HENNEY IS 🥵
I get the frustration at Moiraine but it's obvious she's not thinking clearly right now. She's hurt and lashing out at who's closest to her - which is Lan. The reality is she needs a woman's touch more than anything while she heals, and the Amyrlin seat is MIA so it's gonna be a bumpy ride. But I do agree that I want him to spend more time with Nynaeve 😁
@@AishaWilson I'm quite certain she is pushing him away on purpose. She likely realizes she will get him killed if she cannot use her powers while still being on a quest for Rand. Tough love AND traumatized.
Your reactions are so fun to watch! I'm loving the upgrades in cinematography, lighting, and effects in Season 2. One of my favorite book series on TV is so fun :)
If Lan wants a flaming sword he'll have to go become a Warder for someone else. Someone who would use the One Power to make their Warder's sword flaming instead of throw fire directly.
36:00 i dont think she was trying to find the fades, more I think Bayle Domon's comment about two hooded riders tipped her off that Fades were tracking her down and were getting very close so she disappeared in the night to lead them away from Lan, Verin and Adeleas. (Tomas as well but I dont think Moiraine would consider him when she made the plan)
Great to find you. I love seeing what non-readers glean from the adaptation, it helps me understand the choices made in the writing room. Do you remember why Egwene doesn’t want to use her hands to channel even though it would be easier? I thought it was a great call back to S1 . They all had trauma and it’s nice that the show isn’t just brushing it off, they’ll need to work through.❤
Loviley Review ....so excited but I dont want watch all 3 at once .. So I think those things they fighting in the end have many names but the show called them Fade , Eyeless. I think this epi we see they are able to shadow span , or use darkness to fade in and out. IT reinforces that Tom Meriland was bad ass last season when he said " I can see you...and also that Darth Matt might be able to see them too, but that can't be good . I have some ideas about Sister Strong Jaws but I don't know if its spoiler since I havent read books but seems like she could be person who finds dark arts to use harry potter terms ....like whatever the Aes Sedai think is evil. She sees as judgemental , and only care if it is power she shielded Naeve I think as test....she wants to control the weapon or at least know it won't be turned on her ...
I know you have mouth thing/fear, and evidently, _someone in the Show has a thing for mouths._ Don't let this faze you, but trigger warning, in future episodes when there's a foreboding atmosphere... steel your jaws.

Wow, thank you so much 💕

The man from the opening scene was the man Rand fought at Eye of the World last season. So he was the big bad from last season
I realized that after when I was editing. In the moment I was far too distracted by the child about to be eaten 😭
Book wise perrin's sense of smell etc is so refined that he can put together what happened afterwards through use of it. I was wondering how they would translate to visual medium and I feel like this is a good in between.
Btw i know this is only mentioned at the end of S1 but Moiraine and Lan no longer have a warder bond, so they cannot feel each other.
I was gonna comment the same thing.
Haha, that is such a great point about Egwene going to the White Tower only to end up doing the same dishes as before.
Cackling at the thirsting over Daniel Henney😂
It's been so long, I'd almost forgotten how delightful it is to watch your reactions, Aisha. Witty and insightful! Looking forward to the rest of the season!
Aw thanks so much! I've missed this show too 💕
The Careless Whisper recorder cover over shirtless Daniel Henney 💀💀💀💀💀
It's what he deserves 🤣🤣😭😭
This is the most random piece of shit on the internet that actually earns my seal of approval
Maybe ocarinas?

I am glad to see you reacting to Season 2! I laughed so hard at many of your comments. Loved the Lan appreciation clip at the beginning 😂
Thanks so much 💕 Glad you enjoyed!
You bring such a nice emotional depth to your reviews. Love!
Thank you so much 💕
So glad you are reacting to wheel of time ! Look forward to your other reactions, for me E3 is the strongest episode so far
Found your channel by chance… please adopt me and come live in Paris so I can watch the rest of the season with you! You look so much fun to be around !
Sorry for the crappy English :D
Merci, mon ami! 💕 Maybe we meet next year haha

Thank you so much!! 💕 And I agree, this is a very visually satisfying show
I can't wait to see your reactions to episodes 2 and 3! As a book-reader, I love watching non-readers reactions!
Definitely happy to see you back, your commentary is so relatable 🤣
Yay, thank you! 💕
I was almost as excited about your reactions as I was about S2!
Aw thank you 💕
Jackson Pollocks Paintings 😂
Hardcore book and show fan here, and I'm just now stumbling onto your channel!! Looove your reaction and can't wait to see more 😊
Yay welcome! Thank so much 💕

Aw can't he just dig deep into his royal blood and set it aflame? 😭🤣

Yes! We are back! Looking forward to Season 2 of WoT!!
Your reactions are hilarious and very insightful!! Keep up the great work!!
Thank you so much!! 💕
Yes, so happy to watch you see WoT again!
Me too! Thanks so much 💕

Aw thank so much! And yes, there's so much I'd forgotten from S1 that I may have to do a rewatch 🤣
I was hyped to see your reaction to the premiere mostly because of Lan lol 😂
🤣🤣🤣 He really adds so much to this show for me, for you know, scientific reasons 🤭
@@AishaWilson You and I are on the same wavelength 😂
Their rite of passage was saving all of the people in town from those monsters
Enjoyable video as always. My only note us that a darker/dimmer background would make the darker scenes of the show easier to look at.
Yay!!!! I love your reactions. They always feel like I'm watching with a friend.
Aw, thank you! 💕
if it makes you feel better, the actress said it was sweet ice tea shw was drinking.
I'm very glad it was something tasty in that glass, but the though alone is so icky lol
Good positive comments.

The reaction we were waiting for !!!! 😊 ❤
To quote a wise woman, Interesting. 😁
Yeah, I had the same reaction you did in the water scene. I had to remind myself that the Zoe Robbins was probably drinking colored water.
I'm still recovering lol
Hype 🎉
Love your reactions and love Wot, the combination is nothing but joy
Thank you so much 💕
I will have to keep watching to see how your predictions and insights evolve. Always enjoy non-reader reactions.
Thanks so much 💕
did you not recognize the man from the opening scene from season 1 ;)?
Not while I was watching initially lol
You are more entertaining then this show. I’m so glad I found you. 😂 stay wonderful.
Wow, thank you! 💕
❤❤❤
I know you have mouth thing/fear, and evidently, _someone in the Show has a thing for mouths._ Don't let this faze you, but trigger warning, in future episodes when there's a foreboding atmosphere... steel your jaws.
you are so funny
R U Seanchen? Those nails!
Shhhhh! Tell no one....
Wait till Nyneave comes face to face with the dark one. By then she will no longer think the Aes Sedai isnt the issue
So true that she's focusing on the wrong things rn. I have to remind myself that she's still young
@@AishaWilson I forgot that's she's 25 or 26
The books are better. Mostly none of this happened in the books.
