    There was a great interview answer from Robert Jordan at a con where someone was asking about something Ishamael said, something to the effect “hold on, you’re going to tell me you believe anything Ishamael was telling people?” - he didn’t get the nickname “the Father of Lies” for being Frank and honest.

    Omg! Egwaine doesn’t mess around. Rand “noticed” Elayne. Mat blew the horn and shouted the thing. Perrin’s eyes were still yellow. Nynaeve is feeling a bit angry and lost. But still determined to show up for her friends. There’s trouble coming for everyone next season. Also, hi Mogedien. 🕸️

    Someone may have already commented on this and I missed it, but the 'Heroes of the Horn' are basically the Pattern (or Wheel's) greatest heroes. So they are not past lives of Mat, Mat just happens to be one of them. When the Horn is blown it summons them to the cause of the Light. In Mat's case, because he is already alive, he is reminded of who he was in past lives. Each of the heroes has lived multiple lives, and they inevitably fight together in some form or fashion against the Dark One every time.

    As a big Wheel of Time nerd I have watched a lot of show reactions but you guys + one lady are among the best. You are witty in your comments, I love how you give out names thought I do worry that you might have started too strong with Brother Book & Sister Strong Jaw and struggle to maintain your form on that front. Best of all you each pick up on different things and are often very insightful on noticing small details that book readers know to look for but show readers don't. Best of all you don't always agree with each other and hearing you debate among yourselves and being passionate about your views but respectful of the other's opinions is really enjoyable.
    One think I do wonder at is Carianna view about Rand & Egwene. My impression is (my apologies if I'm wrong) is that she thinks Rand is doing the dirty on Egwene by showing interest in Elaine. While they were in a relationship at the start of season 1 Egwene pretty much broke it off by saying she wanted to be a wisdon and the implicaions being that Wisdom's don't marry. I get that during the stress of nearly dying a few times they may have hooked up again but I don't think either of them were commmitting to a long term relationship. Yes they still have feelings for each other as evidenced by Egwene trying to learn so hard because she felt she wasn't strong enough to save Rand at the Eye of the World and Rand knowingly walking into a trap to try and help her but I would not say they are boyfriend/girlfriend and both would be perfectly free to hook up with others.
    I have to disagree with the voice of reason, Adison, the way they shot Rand looking at Elaine was very much someone seeing an angel coming to save him and desperate to get her number.
    PS. I absolutely adore Carianna's go to move being to want to blow things/people up when upset or faced with unpleasantness. Long may it continue.

    I think for Moraine is harder than for anyone to treat Lan like that. But she‘s also the only one willing to sacrifice anything or anyone for Rand‘s destiny (starting with her). Like she understands what‘s at stake. Also I never thought on something romantic between them… I always thought that the bond is very intimate but as a deep friendship.

      Moiraine & Lan always read to me as soldiers in a squad of 2, basically. "Us against the world", and then they slowly start opening up their trust to encompass others, to varying degrees, under various circumstances. Not saying that soldiers can't also form romantic relationships, but in this case it's the platonic sort of "Ride or Die"

      The thing is all of them have their flaws and everyone has their favorites. I loved Nynaeve almost from book 2 on. I came around on Mat in the last 3 books. I really didn't care for him most of the time in the books. Others love Mat. Rand was boring to me for much of the series. But some people loved Rand. I have been disappointed with Nynaeve the past couple of episodes. But she was killing it in the middle of the season.

    There should have been one added line so it was clear Moraine sacrificed ALL love in her life to PROTECT RAND and LAN. She pushed Lan away to SAVE HIS LIFE. Once she lost her power she knew she was going to die and would not be able to protect Lan with the power. Do not look at Moraine with eyes without pity. Rand would be dead now without her. I only felt like Lan and Moraine FINALLY used words and Lan pushing that made him a hero. Moraine is a hero long term. If Mat is a hero, Moraine is one too ….but for THIS episode I say the hero’s are Mat, Hopper, Elayne, and Inktar. Egwene and Perrin both committed cold blooded murder. I GET that and I would have done that too, but I can’t give them hero status. Just badass status.

    This season has been about not giving up on the people you love-even when they've given up on themselves, completely lost all hope, and seem determined to throw away everything good in their lives. We all have people in our lives who do messed up things to us as well as to themselves, due to pain and depression and human fallibility. Love gets us through those obstacles, and drives us to try and try again to be worthy of one another. This is a recurring theme in the series-perhaps its central theme, even. It's been lovely seeing your videos this season, hope to see y'all again in s3 :)

      Last episode they went through so much to show that her will was broken. I think it would have been better character growth progression for her to instead be rescued and the pain and fear she went through to be a point of vulnerable humility that she would have to work through. By escaping herself and already gaining a superior mindset and overcoming her captivity issues, there is little option for more upward character growth without breaking her down again. According to the books she is suppose to grow into becoming an imposing person, but by already building her to the point of showing that she can already face down one of the forsaken seem to be much too fast of a progression.

    Ishy cared because now he has to wait til next go around to find peace, he mentioned it to Padan Fain. He was close to turning his friends and leading him to the dark- very close. And Lannfear, because she has an unhealthy obsession with a married man (a thousand of years dead married man) and a 20 year old farm boy. She let her emotions guide her and destroy his carefully laid plans. So he made sure to unleash the other forsaken. Because where he failed, maybe-just maybe- one of them will succeed.

I love that y’all are enjoying it so much and getting so many more people interested in it. It’s like a dream come true. I hope you do read book 2. I would definitely avoid book 3 because there are some elements from that book that will likely make it into the show and potentially spoil it for you.

    Nynaeve is taking a backseat in the finale because she needs to save up her strenght for all the crazy shit she's going to get into in future plot lines.
    Seriously though, i believe the show is trying to emphasize Nynaeve's block and how it really limits her. This a big plot point for her character development that is intricately tied to her personality and who she is and how it relates to saidar and how women tap into it.

    • @fluffy_walrus
      @fluffy_walrus 8 місяців тому +11

      Yeah, Nynaeve's block is a literal thing, you can't just ignore it or arbitrarily push past it, it's not a matter of want for her, and you can see how lost and frustrated and sad she is that she's unable to help how she would want to. And it'll get worse before it gets better as her own internal frustration and guilt grows, but you have to believe she'll overcome her block eventually, and it's really going to be a good way to illustrate how Saidar works and why Nynaeve's been having so much trouble despite being powerful.

    • @totesmagotes213
      @totesmagotes213 8 місяців тому +3

    • @mandisaw
      @mandisaw 8 місяців тому +4

      2- The season started with Ny trying to bluff her way through/around the fact that her block is a major issue. She treated it like no-big-deal, and figured she could just workaround it, at her own pace / in her own way. Both what happened with the adam-testing, and the finale here, are a major personal lesson to her that, no, it *is* a big-deal, and she's going to need to seriously address it or else Bad Things Happen. Combined with the lesson that she's got to trust other people, I think it was good character-growth for our girl.

He says, "I'm one of you." and the other Hero says "we've fought by your side time beyond measure." so they're less his past selves and more heroic souls tied to the horn, of which Mat has just realized /remembered, he is as well.

    The people summoned by the Horn of Valere are the dead heroes from past Ages, at least most of them are. These Heroes are bound to the Horn and are summoned whenever the Horn of Valere is blown. Most of these Heroes are also being reborn (one example is probably Uno). That's why Mat was alive even though he's one of them as he said, and they also told him that they have fought alongside him in countless occasions (in his past lives). The credits at the end of the episode shows the name of two of these Heroes. One is Amaresu, the Japanese-looking woman wielding a samurai, and Artur Hawkwing, the one wearing a helm. Hawkwing was named in s1e2 and mentioned in s2e5 as the great king who forced the Aes Sedai to bound themselves to the Three Oaths.

    • @latetotheparty7551
      @latetotheparty7551 8 місяців тому

      Thanks for the deep dive but as they pointed out, the show should've made this clearer. The Hunt for the Horn was a whole back but they treated it as a glorified side plot. Killing Uno like a punk is completely incongruent with the horn's legacy. With the vision, as they pointed out, they didn't show many past lives but rather Mat like his abusive father so this doesn't make any sense, in context. The linking between the Horn and the wielder will also likely be ignored by the show, per the usual arrangement.
      To praise the good, this was one of the few things they got right from the books, including his beginning to use the Old Tongue so I liked it but such moments are few and far between.
