I feel like Rand meant that Selene is the only woman who ever saw him *just* as a man. He grew up with Egwene, so she knows the boy in him. It feels meaningful that a woman has accepted him as an emotionally (& physically) mature adult and he liked what if felt like to be seen that way. Honestly, his anguish was heartbreaking. I couldn't help but be reminded of how young and vulnerable he is, dealing with such heavy things just trying to figure out his place in the world. 😢 Josha is so good!
This was a really good episode! Soooo much was revealed! I’m not unhappy that there’s no action! And the acting from these actors are top notch!
the actors really are crushing it
"Did you see the eyes?"
YES WE SAW THE EYES!!! :D
JUST CHECKING
I did not.
O'Keeffe has absolutely NAILED Lanfear. She is amazing. I do wish they would have drawn out the reveal a little longer, play more into Rand and her "being in love." The reveal was amazing but it felt very sudden after Rand "saved" her.
6:54 I love how the show portrayed the way wolves communicate.
SAME
Of all the ways they could have done it, that was absolutely perfect!
Great video, Kritter! Hopper is the goodest boy. The reveal was really good. I love the character development of Liandrin. Kate Fleetwood is just killing it.
I burst into tears over Hopper showing Perrin his name.
glad I'm not the only one! It was so beautiful!
What a difference in room size between being an Accepted and being a Novice- I’ll bet that room was even bigger than Elayne’s closets! 😀
Did you catch the name for the area where the cabin was? Kinslayer‘s Dagger. Though I doubt that it was called that when Lanfear spent time up there with LTT. I recently read an interview with - - I believe it was the Director of this episode - - who gave props to Josha and Natasha are because they were doing that scene with a fade right on the edge of the cliff, but they never let it get to them and they just nailed it. (You would never been able to get me to do that. I’m not afraid of heights per se, but you’ll never get me to stand on the *unprotected* edge of a height.)
When Rand said that she was the first woman to see him as a man, I took that to mean that in the Two Rivers he was still viewed as a boy. A good looking boy, but a boy, all the same, and I think that Egwene saw him the same way. They grew up together from young children, and I don’t think that either one of them had yet reached the mature adult stage, though Egwene probably had the edge there with the woman’s ceremony that she went through. (Of the three young male lead characters, I think that possibly only Perrin might have been seen as being an adult because he was married.)
Rand he’s going to adore the fact that you can’t kill me Forsaken in usual ways; we all know how near and dear balefire is to his heart 😆.
Rand is indeed a balefire stan and now he’s kinda justified lol
I loved this episode so much. It's surprisingly my favourite episode of the season.
Not surprisingly! That ending was to DIE for 😏
Not suprising to me at all! What did suprise me though, was who my favorite character from the episode ended up being... Anvaere 🤯
@@Fanafranky she was an immediate icon
Agreed!
@@Fanafrankyher playing daes daemar with Moraine was so perfect.
Everyone notices the accepted room upgrade except for me! 😂😂
😂😂😂
This is my favorite episode so far. I don't mind the slow burn parts. They're interesting. And then a few pay-offs toward the end . . .
Lan said to Maskim(?) that she has left it masked for the past 6 months, so he was technically being honest… just ignoring the fact that she can’t touch the OP to let him back in.
The bond was masked before she got cut off the source or whatever and since cannot channel she cannot unmask it, I think the bond is not broken and she is not stilled, but I read that Pike was very unhappy that her character is unable to channel and the idea of channelling brought her to play a Moraine in the first place.
That is not what she said.
This season is really giving me the vibes I got my first time reading, when I was trying to figure stuff out. They've managed to make Moiraine mysterious and frustrating to the book readers again, I love it! After several readthroughs, M's mysteriousness is very diminished, more than I realized it had, until I'm watching the show and constantly thinking "wtf is her plan?! What is the end goal, shit, can we even trust her? And just....yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I want the adrenaline rush of big reveals I don't expect, (cue Madonna) and feel "like a book virgin, yeah!"
But, Bayle Domon needs to shave that upper lip darn it. 😂 That's my spot of contention 😅
Pardon typos, my phone is being troublesome as I type.
It is so so fun to still be surprised by something we’re so intimately familiar with 🤩
Very much this!
I’m kind of excited about the idea that the Forsaken in the show are effectively immortal. It makes them more frightening if the Dark One can resurrect them on the spot rather than doing the soul swapping stuff that happens in the books.
It looks like it probably still takes some amount of time, she didn't just pop up and give chase but the change makes a lot of sense to not want to hire a new actor every time the DO recycles a Forsaken.
I agree in TV Show you don't want to keep changing actors and confuse the audience, bringing them back fully healed into the same body works better as TV show and it is scarier ...
1000% agree. This is one of my favourite book-to-show changes. Makes so much more sense and makes it seem that being aligned with the Dark One conveys genuine advantages.
@@Mrsangeandbella But now they do need to think of how to change Demondred death ... because he was killed the same way as Lanfear in the show , and this will not work anymore
I secretly hope that we will get Taimandred - wasn't there something in Origins that said that RJ did initially intend that but changed it when too many people figured it out?@@Berndr
I like episode 3 and 4 equally. It is just good tv. I so hope they stick the landing this season👍
fingers and toes crossed. Things are looking good so far!!
Yes I've been waiting. Hope you have a good weekend!
You too!
I'm so happy they really ramped up Season 2. Im really loving ep 3 & 4 so far, and season 2 overall 👌🏼
My only real gripe with this episode is that I would've liked for Mat to get a couple more minutes of screentime, and Lan to get a couple less minutes. That's pretty much it.
I do feel that when season is over and Moiraine's arc is resolved, it will be fun to rewatch and appreciate Lan's scenes more, and the hints that were dropped during them.
Even rand don't have that much scenes he show up 3 times all the minutes go to the females and it's boring
These episodes feel like they are 10 minutes. I have been enjoying them all so far. Its sometime since I have read the books. This episode did need that ending. I only wish more form Mat. i know what he will be doing soon enough, but I want more from that dude. I can not wait for the next episode. Just so you know I am a big Mat fan... also like Elaine... yep my two favorite characters... and who dosnt like Lanfear? :D
A lack of Mat is definitely my biggest complaint. I hope he gets some major screen time in these last four episodes
Team Lanfear
@@Ayeshteni understandable
I Loved everything. And i Thank everyone for making ths a Big fmly treats. So in love from South Africa. Love n peace everyone
My husband was watching with me and he says “i like Selene. They are good together” and i was like “EWW!!” I couldn’t help myself lmao! It’s his fault though. If he’d started reading the books when i told him to he would have already known lol!! The episode was like a slow set up and then picked up just in time to drop me on the edge of my seat and cut me off. The cruelty is real!! 🤣
Episode 4 is amazing, the best episode of the series so far, the editing and flow was just perfect! I can tell the crew is finding their stride in this show, usually takes a season and a half or two for a new series crew like this to get things right, hopefully it's just uphill from here for the show!
I squeeeeed when I Saa her eyes do that as well! 😉
Ahhhhhhh!!!!! 👀
I was so excited for your reaction :D
I hope it didn’t disappoint 😅
It was glorious! The LF neck slash made me "WTF" too :D @@KritterXD
That ending!!! The music is what really got me!
Which one is my favorite episode? One word: Hopper.
I had such a grin while Hopper was there with Perrin.
I’m really enjoying the changes. Taking it as is watching a different turn of the wheel than what we read in the books.
I hope for some more kind endings for some characters.
that was actually a perfect adaptation from the book into the TV show regarding Forsaken ... obviously, in the book every time Forsakens die they get new bodies to come back to, but in order to keep the same actors and not confuse audience in TV show, the Dark one brings them back into the same body fully healed and I think it works great change as a visual adaptation...
I agree, its a good change but it complicates a few things. For example, how does demondred die?
@@ishanabhi4540 Well it can be changed, who kills him is not that important in the long run ... could be Total destruction of the body? or killed by Rand/Moirane using Belfire... plus they might not have him they will only have 8 forsaken not 13!
My current ranking is 4,3,2,1 from best to “worst”
Nice! I'm 3, 4, 2, 1 I think.....
Same! Hope that trend continues, rather than do like season 1 with a 5,4,3,2,1,6,7, and "we don't talk about 8" 😅 But there's no Covid, they addressed major feedback, and the source material is rock solid, so I'm not worried!
I really hope that Mat comes to form a relationship with the color GRAY in Cairhien and maybe even gets a bit more skilled at games of.....dice
8:30, remember she masked the bond before taking Rand to the Eye. She hasn't been able to channel since then to unmask it, assuming that's done using the power.
loved the reaction
Leane's face when Liandrin dropped that line and walked out: "What TF did you just say!?!"
That scene between Liandrin and Leanne makes me wonder if we'll ever see Elaida at all 😮 Or if Liandrin will end up with that particular arc!
I thinkkk Rafe has confirmed Elaida.
@@KritterXD is it Shohreh Aghdashlo playing Elaida, she was seen filming in Camelin scenes for season 3 ? I think the fanbase wanted her to play Cadsuane but Rafe wants her to play Elaida !
@@Berndr I’d be tickled pink if we got her as Elaida
@@KritterXD Shohreh Aghdashloo has just been confirmed as Elaida in season 3 ! :) Elaida has 10 times more screen time than Cadsuane, and because Shohreh is an amazing actress Rafe wanted her for that role instead of Cadsuane, so we get more of her !
@@Berndr assuming this unofficial news is true, I’m extremely excited to have her as our Elaida 💙
I made exactly the same face you did when Mo did the thing at the end with the sword. It was a great moment. Also! I cried happy tears when Hopper sent his name.
Crack theory Lanfear is a Draghkar/Vampire. She was hiding her appearance under a mask of mirrors.
She appeared to be turning into something
Great reaction. This is my favourite episode so far. I don’t know why as it was slow but we got so much set up and I’m now invested in this turning of the wheel! Lanfear is perfect casting as it is for pretty much all the actors they are doing such a good job bringing these characters to life
Epic reaction! This was my favorite episode so far, lots of book goodness tie ins, some new and interesting/confusing choices, everything I appreciate about the WoT tv show! 😁 Can't wait til next week ( hope they get their **bleep** together on airtime, tho! 🤦)
That was awesome.
I love your reactions, so thank you!
This episode felt like "Oh ok. HOPPER! Oh ok. MAT! Oh ok. HOLY CRAP WTF!!!" (in a really good way 😂)
I practically pressed my nose against my screen and stopped blinking when I saw the saa..
I love how the show gives us some amazing stuff straight out of the books and finds other ways to surprise us...
It feels like gettting the books all over again 🥰
I completely agree. I love that I can still be surprised, but that they also give us things from the books I’ve always wanted to see live action. And thank you for your support!! 💙💙
:) Thank you for making awesome content :)@@KritterXD
I like how they're doing more show not tell with live forever
Ok, that played out like something RJ might have written: ok,ok, oh that's where they are, well that was interesting, WTH just happened???? Loving it 😁
It really did didn’t it?
*sings* Secret tunnel! Cracked me up! Another great reaction.
I'm just glad that's an end to the Rand hot n heavy sessions 😂
"Where does the third one go"... had me GASPING! Good lord that's a dirty joke, lol
Loved it lmao
[BOOK SPOILERS FOR THE CASUALS AND WATCHERS]
This episode was definitely the 'calm before the storm' for the rest of the season. I'm guessing the True Power will be the 'dark one's resurrection' mechanic in the show (thus the saa in her eyes)? That would make the Forsaken more formidable and dangerous in the show than in the books (where most die of their own stupidity).
Yeah this is a change I can 1000% get behind
I also think this works so well with Lanfear's backstory re her thinking she had discovered a new type of Power that could be used by both men and women and the consequences to the world from her trying to tap into it. @@KritterXD
I am wondering: Since the TV show is explained as "a new turning of the wheel" and there will be 8 Forsaken, if they exclude the balefired ones from the books (since in book lore, they would not come back in further turnings)
@@leza4453 You still need a powerful weapon like balefire, something forbidden and highly dangerous to move the story along.
@@chocopuddingcup83 yes. They can balefire the others, that died "normally" in the books or lived on. But once balefired, the is no comming back in other "turnings of the wheel". So if the books were aprevious turning to the TV show, there should be fewer forsaken.
Good episode. I could use a bit less of the warmers and Alanna. My non book reader mother is loving the series! I haven’t had to explain anything to her so 👍 on storytelling.
Oh that’s great! And yeah i loved the episode but I could’ve trimmed a bit of time from Alanna and the warders, especially if it meant more time with Mat. I’m desperate for a Mat-heavy episode!
@@KritterXD Can’t wait for Mat’s luck to kick in!
This was a great episode! The acting is great!
Serious Melisandre vibes from Lanfear there!
And we finally got to see Mat play dice! Dovie'andi se tovya sagain!
Sort of spoilers for none book readers: I'm glad we're not doing the new bodies for forsaken thing right now, if they ever do at all. Natasha O'Keeffe has been so good so far and Fares Fares is one of the most underrated actors working. I'd be happy to keep them to the end of the series.
thank you for the great video kritter
Moiraine masked the bond before she and Rand went to the Eye of the World. It's clearly stated in the two final episodes of Season 1.
Nyn's accepted 'quarters' are bigger than my first 2 apartments combined.
I wanted to pet Hopper so bad watching this episode. 😆
I was *really* hoping they would do the Book 2 scene with the Chodan Kal with Lanfear on the cliff, but they didn't do it, unfortunately.
There was a lot of good in this episode, though. I love the way things were revealed. Not sure how I feel about Moirane stabbing Lanfear like that. It was effective, though. Were you saying she had sa in her eyes? I didn't catch that when I watched.
Moiraine masked the bond before she went into the Blight.
Ep. 3 has been my favorite. But the Lanfere reveal in this episode was awesome.
Did anybody else catch the two way self....unlifing from that scene with Logain?
I am so looking forward to what happens next with your best girl. I hope it is half as bad as in the books. I want it to be 1000% as bad to show the world we are inn. It will get the non readers in a riot. Hope it lasts longer than the books. That saying, 3 episodes. Dont think I can handle more❤️ love your content
Thank you! And yeah I’m both nervous and really excited to see how the rest of the season plays out with her!
We got the sa'a!
Time to bring on Aviendha. Can't wait for that moment.
18:00 side note where did you get your Aes Sedai ring?
I'm a book reader, but I can't remember the deal with her eyes. I've rewatched that bit a couple of times, and am having trouble seeing what's happening.
The Saa(the black moving thing in they eyes) are a sign of someone who use the True Power to much
In your defense, that was very hoodlike hair. lol
Thank you 🤝
So far this season is slightly better as an adaptation and a lot better as a general TV show.
Ep3 is still my favorite so far in this season, but honestly 4 is pretty close. Yes, it was a little slow, but there were enough really good moments to keep it interesting.
Which versions of the characters do you prefer?
Definitely enjoyed the episode - dramatic ending for sure and think show liandrin far more interesting than book liandrin. Also loved the falme betrayal scene and of course seeing hopper :) . If i am totally honest i want less alanna and her warders and more of mat etc though.
Great reaction, glad Lanfear was finally revealed, was getting sick of this Selene charade, and so happy that Rand is not with her anymore, seeing them sleeping together was unbearable. The best moment for me was Perrin and Hoppper, i actually cried when Hopper showed Perrin his name, loving the way they're doing the visions. Ofcourse Liandrin is black, i can't believe some people doubted her. Loving Mat and Min being together, intrigued by their storyline. Can't wait for the next episode, it looks really good.
I don't know how Rand makes it to Falme. It feels too late for sending Mat to Cairhein
Unless they have some way to travel straight there… 🤔
Hopefully we get more rand ASAP
I think they are merging Alviarin with Liandrin.
I did wonder about that too...now I'm not so sure...🤔
I guess it depends on if the wonder girls return to the tower...
lol...suppose I'll WAFO myself 🤭
My favorite is has and will always be Matt (male) MIN (female)
Episode 3 still my favorite so far. But wt heck did Liandrin say "sorry about this"? Considering. I have a feeling Liandrins...um... other affiliations are based on promises about her son or some other desperate need. And that she hates it, but feels she has no other option. Perhaps she was forcibly converted and not willing?
Lots of "y/n gets angry whenever 'unworthy female' gets attention from the main guy they secretly had crushed on" vibes in the comments 🤣
Finley they give him someone to kill sometimes they just forget he us un the show
Matt's dicing...and losing...as usual...lol
The forehead vein.
I expected a book fan to be more critical... but if you like it, good for you.
As someone who has not read the books I say this... her being evil was the most obvious thing that could have happened. New love interest for protag that comes out of nowhere? Obviously a bad guy, or she will die soon. Her being just an inn keeper would have been _less_ obvious.
Sweedy you should have read the books or the WOT companion. She's described as a manipulator(spoilers*) and she's really not just selene but lanfear search for her
So I'm glad it's obvious but a die hard fan of WOT would say she was casted right she's beautiful and all like I had imagined ❤
So wait, is Liandrin proving to be BA? If she betrays Nyneave, and Egwene then why would Nyneave let her train her? Unless I’m mistaken the whole her trying to break Nyneave’s block hasn’t happened yet has it? I need to stop watching this at night after I purchase legal cannabis 😂😂😂
What a slow boring season. I love that Rand isn’t even going for the horn. As if he is capable of dealing with such a journey!
That CGI hair! 😡😂
I miss the pretty intro.
I miss it, too, but that intro was a full minute and a half!! I'm happy with Rafe's decision to use that time for the story.
This season has been so much better. But I'm still pissed at what's going on with Moiraine and Lan. They really screwed that up. I'm betting that they've combined Liandrin with Elaida.
Everyhting fine except Min Mat story so far dont do it for me and Lan/Warder Story... omg stopid pls. At last dont waste so much time with that.
So, you're the book fan that enjoys the show. I was wondering who that person is, now I know it is you.
I love how people who don't like the show pretend that it's impossible to like both.
You are welcome to like both. I don't like the show, but love the books.@@MasterRahl221
I like the show but think alot of what rj has written is garbage
You can't be die hard fan and enjoy this perversion. It is fiction not adaptation.
So weird that I am and I do.
@@KritterXD well you have low standards then. The show is more busy to check modern woke boxes than make believable fantasy world and follow the source material. None of the characters we see act as the one from the books. The Lan pissing scene was the best so far, again really important to how the story develops. PPl are impressed by anything these days.
@@dododimitrov9657 idk what the producer price index has to do with this but carry on, bro, and thanks for the engagement ✌️
I’m upset how Rafe has spat on RJ’s legacy 😡
The books aren’t going anywhere, and the show is bringing new people to the books. You’re being dramatic.
Disingenuous
I guess think the author is dead, the screen writers felt no allegiance to the real book story. If you’ve read the book a few times, then this is poorly written script. I don’t care for it much….
The only way this series is any good is if you can erase the books from your mind completely otherwise there are too many things totally wrong. I have a huge problem with Rand doing absolutely nothing for months. He doesn't get trained in swordplay at all and are they cutting out Asmodean as his teacher in channeling?
Book reader here, youre wrong
@@lordbetty4806 The story barely resembles the books
@@Jamie-ff1zm It's a different turning of the wheel, they already stated this.
You try to condense 15 wordy books into 8 seasons of television.
Personally think some of the changes are better than the books. Liandrin being one character who's been improved upon.
@@lordbetty4806 It has nothing to do with condensing the story. About the only thing it shares with the book is settings and names. Just because they say it is different doesn't make it ok. Call it something else because it is not The Wheel of Time from Robert Jordan
