 Ok. I’ll try to do something that I’ve never done before here on the Fediverse... do a semi-live reaction thread of watching the Season 2 finale of #TheWheelOfTime.

So similar to S1E7’s and S2E7’s cold opens showing events from 20 years ago, we also get finale cold opens from 3000 years ago. 

I can’t get enough of Alexander Karim as Lews Therin and we see him with 7 other companions sealing Ishamael at the Eye. Also, Sammael is namedropped!

 Wait... After 7 episodes of getting a bare title card, we *now* get the gorgeous full intro?! I understand cutting these for the previous episodes to eke out some more screen time, but I guess now it’s as good as any for properly introducing the cast and crew.

But I’m a bit sad that this intro is the same. The genius of the Game of Thrones’s intros are how they differ from season to season and episode to episode depending on what happens.
