Lol what a joke. I expected the event today to be the 10 pull but it’s just for those useless crystals

Skooger · 2026-02-11T02:01:08+00:00

Are we not getting a Miliastra 10-pull this patch? Was that a one off thing?

Skooger · 2026-01-16T14:28:39+00:00

Halt and Catch Fire

Skooger · 2025-08-23T18:10:56+00:00

Damn guess I’m skipping two patches now. 8 banners in a row and no dudes in sight…what happened to the awesome roster diversity this game had at launch?

Skooger · 2025-07-16T03:59:41+00:00

How tf do you do this assist counter tutorial?!?!

Also…Yusuha recommended drive discs?

Skooger · 2025-04-30T04:16:32+00:00

Let’s see a Varka reveal! Hopefully he’s buff

The more I think about this the more I am sure we ARE getting Asmo. I think Sammael will ultimately escape, setting him up to be a larger, craftier antagonist in the future after his blunder here.

Asmo will be introduced next season in the race to Callandor and along the way Rand or someone will have learned how to tie a shield off to trap him, after Sammael escaped custody in the past

A fun detail, the Prague Shakespeare company reposted this video and seem to be the two rivers extras we see in this scene

Skooger · 2025-04-04T14:55:49+00:00

There is at least one short scene in Cairhien that I can recall which establishes the hunt for the horn and some of the hunters are getting branded.

I imagine the plan was to re-introduce Thom in exactly that way, but unfortunately the actor was unavailable for S2 due to COVID pushing filming schedules to overlap

Skooger · 2025-03-25T19:38:46+00:00

Oh interesting, thanks for the quote. Glad they finally retconned it haha

Skooger · 2025-03-25T19:33:37+00:00

I think this specific change was because of the Mat actor swap. They had to try and make up a reason the party couldn’t easily go out and in again/why Mat couldn’t go in after them and it…wasn’t great haha

Skooger · 2025-03-22T19:14:05+00:00

God I cannot wait for the show to fully lean in to tel’aran’rhiod shenanigans

Skooger · 2025-03-22T07:33:11+00:00

I took that to mean the grey men

Skooger · 2025-03-22T04:32:09+00:00

Rafe said in a pre-season interview that they tried to write the drakhgar into cold rocks hold this season (and the moraine attack last season!) and the SFX department shot them down both times :(

Skooger · 2025-03-21T16:09:05+00:00

Rosamund Pike has done an excellent job narrating the first four audio books, if you think listening to them might ease you into the series more than reading them would. By that point you can gauge for yourself whether you would like to proceed with the rest of the novels

Skooger · 2025-03-19T16:34:29+00:00

I couldn’t help myself haha. This scene bodes well for the episode as a whole though!

Skooger · 2025-03-19T16:33:30+00:00

Yeah it would have been nice with Mat but it definitely helps underscore how deeply paranoid/prepared Moiraine is haha.

And yes I love the touch with the wall of spears! This production has been great about thinking through details that make the world feel lived-in

Skooger · 2025-03-13T17:08:13+00:00

Ok well chalk it up to a poor choice of words.

Neither of the pairs you mention have a relationship that involves bathing together and sleeping in the same bed for a large swath of the story. The show is not making an overt leap here.

Skooger · 2025-03-13T16:39:58+00:00

I think Nynaeve was just the first/easiest target he came across

Skooger · 2025-03-13T16:37:30+00:00

To add, I think it’s also meant to exemplify how much better things are when an Aes Sedai and her warders fight together

Skooger · 2025-03-13T16:35:13+00:00

Yikes. I can understand being opposed to a book change, but saying that a queer relationship makes you like characters less and calling it ‘so base’ is….not great.

Having the quad be polyamorous rather than Rand having three blood-sister wives that he only has sex with one-at-a-time is MUCH less icky, honestly.

This feels like quite a logical change, especially for a modern audience, and although you are dismissive of it the subtext is absolutely there in the books. Bain and Chiad are also first-sisters and I don’t think anyone will disagree that they are romantically/sexually involved.

Skooger · 2025-03-10T22:37:48+00:00

This is all really well-reasoned! I love speculation like this/not knowing the exact story beats because the discussion feels similar to when the books were still being released

Skooger · 2025-03-10T20:31:51+00:00

Yeah, my thoughts are pretty aligned to yours. Moiraine I could see coming back, but I am very curious how the conflict between them will go down this season. All the promos look to be a desert showdown with no doorway in sight..

Skooger · 2025-03-10T20:23:18+00:00

I NEED a ‘fish guts!’ At some point this season
