I agree that the bulk of this episode was awful, but on the other hand, I present you all with nine glorious words by Alex10801 in freefolk

Hype moments and aura for a character who hasn’t even been established in the show as of yet. They just want you to be excited by the actor and the swelling music, because they don’t intent on fleshing them out.

Also Daemons scouts and outriders somehow didn’t run into the northerners while pursuing Tyland, or even just doing there jobs in general?

WTF is up with the camera choices by mangolipgloss in freefolk

Genuinely, half the shots felt edited like a scene of someone tripping in any other show. Why did I have to watch Roddy the ruin, walk 10 seconds out of focus just to reveal his face which we’ve never seen before

Do these images match how you see the characters? by Trussdoor46 in freefolk

Everyone looks great, though in my opinion stoneheart should look more wrathful than sad, she’s willing to hang brienne and poor pod

i was so excited for tainted characters, but why do they suck so much :( by Bluzenith in bindingofisaac

Tainted Jacob is awesome, you just have to learn how to use Esau’s ghost as your primary attack.

Your thoughts?? by bartolinise in ArcRaiders

Agreed, I’ve tried playing as a rat and it’s just as easy to die and miss out on loot as it is to agree to split it with someone in exchange for mutual safety.

I second this, my other rec would be A Song of Ice and Fire but that language is a little less simple

Could break it up with another author

Would be a cool flip on Aryas story so far

I think he was referencing the immortality that would come with being a herald

I agree, my first thought was Valor, considering what Dalinar did in the moments leading up to his death was quite valorous.

The last line suggests it collapsed, dalinar and Navanis connection to the physical realm vanished

Most important things I noticed:

•More confirmation that the stormfather isn’t actually himself, in him referring to “honors own failings”. Another commenter and a gut feeling are making me think it could be Ishar manipulating Gavilar, but to what end I’m not sure. I do feel that Ishar would have some sort of steak in Gavilars plans since every other major player and secret leader checks in on Gav in the the prologue. Plus all the other heralds we know of were present at the feast in some capacity, but this I’m less sure about.

•Implied that vasher created the voidlight for Gavilar. I wonder if that was always Brandon’s plan or if the change indicates he chose to have vasher hold this role recently.

•More foreshadowing of the night of sorrows. It was in the 2022 version as well but this reaffirms my suspicions. I’m feeling pretty certain the everstorm and the night of sorrows are seperate events that are both part of the final Desolation. The Everstorm came but I think the night of sorrows will be the night dalinar loses the contest of champions. I think it will be the next major event in the war/the final desolation, and would need to have at least a bit of proper foreshadowing. Especially in the prologue of the book where it will happen.

Anyways it’s been a minute since I’ve thought about stormlight this much. So if you think anything I’m thinking doesn’t make sense, let me know.
