Oddbean new post about login | logout Lanfear and Ishamael... so much to unpack here. Will Ishamael really die? In the books it took Rand three tries and in the cold open Lews says Ishamael wants to die the final death. Will we get Fares Fares in later seasons or will we get a new actor for Moridin? Also the ominous shots of the remaining 6 seals. Will the other Forsaken finally be released this episode?
D’oh! The mist is just a Whitecloak battle tactic! Why did I assume that there was a supernatural element to it? 😅 Also Nynaeve is rocking it as a pretend-sul’dam! I want to see Seta and Renna’s comeuppance soon! Not Renna cutting Egwene’s braid?! 😱
OK. So we already know that the ruby-hilted dagger is not what it is in the books. And Min’s vision of Mat and Rand might still come to fruition, but will we get the un-Healable wound(s) from the books this episode? 🤔 Nynaeve torturing Seta is so good, but I think non-book readers will be confused. The books had tons of pages to expound on how the a’dam work as the characters are studying it but the show is trying to cram everything into the precious few screen minutes.
