Your reaction to Lanfear every time she's on screen proves that the casting was perfect (some were complaining she was too old, not hot enough, yadda yadda). LOL
She is perfect casting, i prefer her to book lanfear at this stage.
I agree with your assessment of her casting. I know what the hold up for some book fans is, but I don't think they paid enough attention. While "Selene" was described as younger in the books, closer to Rand's age, Lanfear was always described as more mature and even more beautiful. And as for her description as the literal most beautiful woman in the world... it is almost like she was described by someone who was having Compulsion used on him.
The Aiel are amazed by the ocean, because they are from the desert and have never seen so much water.
It’s also that there’s not supposed to water in Falm. She asks in hand talk, where did all this water come from?
@@techpappee what do you mean there's not supposed to be water in falme? it's a coastal city
@@techpappee Falme is a harbor, the water was always there. The sandy area they are at is a coast peninsula, not the desert the Aiel come from. This is the first time the three Aiel have been to Falme, and the first time they've seen the ocean.
@@Tristyn_Waterman- Yes but they didn't rock up to Falme right away remember? They landed elsewhere 1st, (that small village town, where they captured all those girls), and that was AFTER they had caused that massive Tsunami to bring their ships closer to their intended target, before anybody could really mobilize against them. I think they are confused about why there is so much water there now, because there probably isn't supposed to BE that much water where they are standing. That Tsunami was no doubt a major catastrophe that reshaped the landscape a bit I'm sure. 😬🌊
@@KabbalahSherry I think it is the much more simple answer that they are used to the three-fold land and are in disbelief at seeing so much water
I love how you go from eyeroll at Lanfear to "Hello, Mommy!" in literally 4 seconds. The duality of man.
“Renna, I *will* kill you”. My favorite line this entire series!
But it isnt a smart thing to say to sadist who have you totally in control and you are at his/her whim, and it was already being showed that you can do shit about it.
book nugget: Lanfear/Selene has always been described as the most beautiful woman you will ever see and it makes me lol she has that exact effect on you 🤣 and it's so funny that when Natasha O'Keeffe was announced for the role there was a shitstorm in the fandom coz the rabid ones didn't think she 's hot enough and wanted their own head canon as Lanfear
but yeah I agree she's gorge and smokin' and slayin as Lanfear 😍🥰
She's so beautiful. I'd turn to the dark for her tbh
@@StudentoftheABC oh for sure! And it's not just her looks, it's her whole vibe. Nails it! Right. On. The. Effin'. Head! 😍🤯🥰
yeah at start I also was thinking that she maybe isnt so hot like described in books (same with chick playing Helen in Troy), it wasnt a big deal for me, but shes really carring show now so she works in this adaptation.
The reason why Egwene's training sounds that way is because they literally think of damane like animals. It's like they are training a horse. So they receive praise when they do something that is approved of and can receive rewards, but in the end they are no different than horses. They are kept in "kennels" and are taken for walks. That sort of thing. It's vile and insidious and it only adds to how they can break and brainwash the women into believing they need to be collared.
"Mat has an interesting day" If you don't want to have a bad trip don't drink the tea from the sketchy old man. 😄
The forms also come with particular composure, walking style and attitude. So it’s gonna speak volumes when someone sees that in a room.
yes, but can you really teach them in 10 sec only by speaking about them,cmon.
I love that you call Siuan Susan! ❤️😆🥳
Moiraine being compelled by Susan Sanchez at the end really seems to parallel Egwene being controlled by Renna at the beginning of the episode! 😳
Susan Sanchez 😭😂
"Thanks Geralt" had me cracked;]
Egwene was tying her braid because she was strengthening her resolve to continue fighting so was remembering the significance of the braid in Two Rivers, ie strong and independent always alone but never alone thingy
Lanfear had to create a distraction, and thats what all the fire bombs were about. Even Lanfear could not counter the combined strength of 14 sisters plus the Amyrlin Seat herself, plus whoever else was in Caihrien. Mind you, there were Aes Sedai already in Caihrien before Siuan even rolled up. When Moirain told the old guy, in the last episode, to give her letter to a Blue sister, I immediately knew there had to be sisters in Caihrien already, and Moiraine of course didnt want to talk to them. The bald Aes Sedai ... her name is Joiya, and she's a grey. Greys are diplomats, mediators, judges ... basically that friend whos always going back and forth between all the other friends trying to make peace while judging all of them at the same time. Anyway. I dont think Siuan even called her to Caihrien. She was already there, for whatever reason.
Joiya was at the White Tower in episode 1 when they were discussing how to handle Nynaeve’s block.
@@jwsel
Exactly! The time skip threw me off too!
@@jwsel
Trust me ... Joiya was already there in Caihrien.
I genuinely loved that one scene between Lan and Rand. I felt so much chemistry between the two of them. I saw like a Jedi master and his Padawan. And my heart felt so full. I hope to see more of the two of them in the next season.
Moiraines Sister finds out her son is a darkfriend, She also learns that Liandrin is one. She said that She has told people. Liandrin better hall ass out of there
Your discussion about Renna (egwene's captor) was AMAZING!
Season 2 is awesome hope they bring it home strong
Aiel comes from a wasteland they have never seen a lake, river or an ocean, and they did not even know that there is such a thing, for them it is a marvel to see so much water and water for them is the most precious thing ...
Best animal acting this episode goes to that cute cat, sorry Hopper
"Step on me, Mommy" -- Now there's coffee all over my monitor. 🤣🤣
You calling Siuan Suzie and Susan is my new fav thing 😆
And Alan Man Dragon 😂
may be my favorite episode so far, with 6 and 5 and 3 in a close distance. (in terms of content) and i dont get whats the problem with so many other book readers not liking this one, in the past i always felt the same with episode as most but not this time
I, a gay man, still completely get your reaction to Lanfear! 🔥🥵🔥
Lanfear blows me away
Non-book reader who enjoyed the episode and your reaction. Also was surprised to see Hayley Mills, Disney's child star from the 60's, in the episode rendering that prophecy.
I can't remember which of the aiel was looking at the sea and said "I've see people kill and die over a pool of water I can step over. Now I see all this water and none of it is drinkable"
This, was the episode I had the most divisive thoughts about. Episodes 5 and 6 were probably my favorite from my entire show. Mostly I'm worried about episode 8, because *so much* has to happen and I just don't see it getting done.
There is a lot to like:
Eqwene not giving in, and Elayne and Nyneave working on freeing her.
Rand and Lan *finally* bonding.
Barthanaces getting his comeuppance.
Mat, when he's sassy, is Mat.
Verin being Verin.
But... the low points continue to be the same as we run out of episodes.
The show has really done Mat dirty, and I see how well Dónal does with the few lines he has, and its kind of breaking my heart, Mat is one of my favorite characters and it is hard to see him cut out of the story.
Likewise, Rand has shockingly little agency, and all he really did this episode was get shielded, and ask Lanfear to get him out, which makes her kill a bunch of people. Again, Rand's acting is great, he is just given nothing to work with.
And Min's deal with Ishy is unresolved... I don't even know how it could be resolved.
Suian using the Oath against Moiraine was little short of Compulsion and I hate it.
And I found Aviendha's punishment to be... confusing at best. She wouldn't bat an eye to lose a spear sister in battle (even her cousin), the only reason she would have Toh is if she *did* something that lead to Dailin's death. And being beaten is the cheapest way to meet Toh, and generally only used if you don't have a better way to meet it. I just don't think it was explained well.
I don't know, I reserve the right to love episode 8 and that will pull the whole season up retroactively. But I'm losing hope that it will be resolved in anywhere near the epicness of book 2.
Hahaha, I feel like the aiel looking at the ocean.
What, is your favorite color? I lol'd! Loving your S2 WoT reactions!
1. What do you think Siuan will do to Moraine (as the Amylin Chair) ? She will stay un Aes Sedai, she will be punish ? Hunted ? (What yours theories, no spoilers from the books please)
2. When Lanfear attacked Siuan and broke Rand's shield, is that means that Lanfear did something to Siuan's power ? Or Lanfear is so powerfull that she attacked Siuan and remove herself the shield ?
I’ve read the books multiple times. I’m loving the show. There has only been one scene in this season that a truly disliked. It was in this episode. I just wasn’t buying what they were selling me.
Tbh, I felt that this episode wasn't the best one because it felt a bit rushed to me. There were also a few deviations from books. However, I think overall it did the job it needed to convey information for the non-reader regarding the path to reach the finale location, Falme. For that reason, I rank it 7.5/10. We're ready now for Falme end game, and it will be glorious.
"Suzie-poo" hee hee
Call the Damane what they are, slaves, to do otherwise is to diminish the awfulness of the Seanchan Empire.
Worse than slaves. Seanchan slaves are at least considered to be human and can be bought free of their slavery. Damane are pets/weapons, and they’ll never be able to be freed.
not only slaves but despised slaves at that.
@@jenliz6248yeah, there is a term that is actually used for slaves, that they use in the show. Da'covale. And they are above the Damane in rank. Damane are more like a pet horse or dog. And Da'covale are the ones who do serventile duties for the rich people.
❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
Where is your cat?
I'm not a book reader, but I am assuming that Falme is NOT a port city. I think It's a desert city and the suldam/damane at the end of last season created that tidal wave to change the landscape and sail their boats right on up into Falme - which is why the Aiel are thrown off by the sea being there when they've probably crossed that desert hundreds of times and there has never been sea. Also.. I'm absolutely dying with you being h-word on main, hahaha!
Falme is on the ocean. Water in the Aiel lands is very hard to find.
Falme is indeed a port city - as you see when Mat comes out on balcony. Aiel girls were stunned by ocean view because they are rised in land where "they never see water they cant jump over"
Book reader here, so I hope the geography of the world isn't a spoiler. The Aiel Waste where the Aiel live is on the other side of the continent from Falme. To my knowledge, the three Aiel with Perrin have never been to Falme before so they wouldn't know if the water was there before or not. Also, Falme *IS* a port city so it's always been coastal. They're just not accustomed to large bodies of water. In the books, they're appalled by (and even sometimes afraid of) smaller bodies of water like a small stream or creek. That's a raging river to them.
Oh. I guess this would be a much more logical explanation that the Aiel are out of place and not the entire ocean 😂😅
@@brattneyrose5652 you are right ofc, but it only shows how their meddling with source material confuse people who didnt read books - what even was point of this tsunami in s1 finale apart from confusion now.
20:10 - They were confused about the water, because the Seanchan caused that Tsunami at the very end of last season, remember? This was so that they could take their ships (and soldiers) closer to their intended destination, before anybody really had time to mobilize against them. 🫤 That's why Aviendah was so confused about the water. Cuz that much water isn't supposed to be at that location.
It's because they're a desert people, and these young women haven't seen this much water before. In the books they're amazed at wide rivers. The sea is terrifying.
you know that tsunami dosent change coastal topography, right? After water hits land it does it thing smashing everything and then it returns to ocean.They done tsunami to kill this single girl on beach apparently(I see no other reason). Aiels are shocked by ocean they never seen before. They never seen Falme before to know the difference if even something was changed - they live on the other side of continent and never leave their hood.
This is false. It has nothing to do with the tsunami
Yes that accent was terrible, stop them lol, it gets annoying
No
@@SleepyWaffles rude 🙄
Lol
Worst fun fiction ever
I read the books and I get the passion for the material, if you don’t like it, that’s fair, I’m actually enjoying it a lot. What I don’t understand is why you keep watching the show? I do this weird thing when I find a show I don’t like, I just stop watching it and get on with my life…I know…weird right?!??
@@rasslor1742This. If I'm not enjoying a show or movie that I'm watching... I just stop watching it!! I don't go around on social medias and find people who ARE enjoying it and spew my hatred about the thing that I personally just didn't like.... I just go on with my life and find something ELSE to watch. But bookcloaks are going to bookcloak, I guess... Really wish they wouldn't. Lmao. They should just go and READ THE BOOKS AGAIN. Truly. Everyone would be happier if they did.
Why do certain readers expect an exact depiction when its not possible yet?
