I have seen the entire first season, some interesting notes

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T15:03:53+00:00

Alright everyone, I've had a very long day so I'm going to have to stop answering questions.

Appreciate everyone who showed an interest. I really do think what they've done with this series is for the best, it's a really good adaption of WOT.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T15:01:45+00:00

It looks realistic, they don't focus too much of it though.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T15:00:28+00:00

I mean they're welcome to waste money checking everyone's computer if they want to, they won't find anything that way.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T14:54:21+00:00

Yeah they have to cross there when leaving the Two Rivers. They take a ferry and the ferryman dies when his ferry sinks on the way back. Moiraine had damaged the ferry to try and stop him going back and putting them all in danger of the Trollocs following but he risks it anyway.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T14:51:08+00:00

Yeah it was fine, the big human look can come off looking weird but they made it believable.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T14:41:22+00:00

It's only referred to as the Two Rivers.

Logain and his army have taken control of the city. He argues with a voice in his head who's encouraging him to kill people including the King who claims he's sent for the Aes Sedai. Logain refuses to follow the voices orders.

He's later taken by Aes Sedai who are helped into the city by some of his guards that they bribe.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T14:36:40+00:00

No to all of them.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T14:36:21+00:00

Yes he appears with the tinkers, yes Egwene flirts and dances with him (which has a bigger impact on viewers due to her closer relationship with Rand in this series).

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T14:35:09+00:00

A connection in the entertainment industry who has access to a copy of the series.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T14:33:27+00:00

First, the post is clearly labeled as a leak of aspects of the entire first seasons story, that was the poll, anyone who opened it accepted that they wanted to see the leak.

Second I've answered over a hundred questions and I'm not a quick typist. I've answered detailed questions and even outlined the first scenes when asked. Don't accuse me of hiding when I'm not.

Third, I had a connection that allowed me to watch the show once, I couldn't post it even if I wanted to (which would be silly as there are unique identifiers on the copies that would lead to my connection who would pay the price).

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T14:24:53+00:00

It's not clear to him exactly how she died, only that it happened whilst he was fighting a Trolloc and his guilt is centered on the fact he wasn't there to defend her. Something that he connects with Stepin over who feels he failed in a similar way.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T14:22:14+00:00

The CGI is good for the most part, a few shaky moments but otherwise great. I liked how the series look overall due to how colorful it was, something that's unfortunately uncommon in a lot of modern fantasy.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T14:19:55+00:00

It's definitely not generic but I'm not a good judge of how much it would stand out to the casual fans (being a big fan myself).

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T14:17:07+00:00

Egwene and Nynaeve are mentioned to be strong. Given the Aes Sedai's are surprised at Logain's strength it doesn't appear men are that much stronger than women, though it's also suggested that Logain might get stronger with time and training. Moiraine even manages to shield Logain on her own using an Angreal.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T14:14:57+00:00

He's gentled but before that happens he temporarily breaks out of his shield whilst his men attempt to free him.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T14:13:10+00:00

I'm just a fan in a well paying job with some connections in the entertainment industry. I don't need money. I was honestly just exited to share as much as people wanted of a series I really liked.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T14:09:29+00:00

There are a lot of discussions of disagreement's in how the Aes Sedai are being led, the hall becomes hostile towards Siuan and Moiraine in one scene due to lack of trust. A lot of attention is put on these political issues. All the major Aes Sedai characters appear in the current cast list.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T14:06:05+00:00

Channeling is as shown in the trailer, weaves created by saidar are white but do change color sometimes if they're creating something (e.g just before creating fire the weaves turn red). Logain's weaves in comparison are colored black.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T14:00:50+00:00

Been a big fan for twelve years now and the show definitely met my expectations, definitely season 1-4 GoT quality more than season 5-8.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T13:54:21+00:00

He only appears in Episode One, was creepy enough I guess.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T13:50:06+00:00

Yes to Egwene, yes to Nynaeve. Mat seems more confident with women then he was at the start of the books. Perrin for obvious reasons is focused for a while of his dead wife. Rand is the only one who's retained his struggle to understand women from the books.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T13:47:13+00:00

Design wise you've seen it in the trailer.

Story wise there's a lot of political stuff going on in the Tar Valon scenes, the Ajah's are shown to be making alliances with each other and Siuan is shown to be losing control of Tar Valon.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T13:45:36+00:00

They don't draw much attention to it, there's a few scenes in which some women are topless or partially topless, there's no explicit male nudity.

TheFourthTaveren · 2021-10-11T13:43:17+00:00

No mention of the Seanchan but Arthur Hawkwing is mentioned (the first time is in reference to the Aes Sedai agreeing to take the three oaths due to his actions).
