I literally just watched this episode a few days ago, and this is a spectacular moment that is incredibly well-earned.

So my takeaway from these comments is that I should try The Surge. :)

Me too.

I’m a huge Soulsborne fan, but have yet to play any of the imitators that really did anything for me. Either because I sucked at them (Nioh), they made decisions I couldn’t get behind (the co-op of Ashen), or they just never came into focus as its own clear thing (Lords of the Fallen).

David Tennant going from Doctor Who to Broadchurch to Jessica Jones is just marvelous. He has incredible range.

The character only ever works because McDonough is clearly having such a blast literally every time he’s on screen.

Assuming you’re not being sarcastic, thanks!

I get that. It’s gotten so dense already with all the plots, characters, locations, and concepts, I’ve wondered how accessible it’s been for newbies.

I’m really hoping that what happens with Egwene and the Seanchan will be a big turning point for both the character and the actor.

Yep. It’s very skippable.

I’m enormously biased because Rand’s my favorite character, but my intended point is that Rand starts to become really terrifying and unhinged from Crown of Swords onward up until the end of TGS. (And I love the resolution of his arc in TGS.)

You can pretty well skip Crossroads of Twilight. Knife of Dreams starts to resolve some things and is decent. The last three books are all very worth reading.

You’ve nailed one of the reasons I didn’t like them making Moiraine the main character last season.

Better that than six seasons of Perrin trying to rescue Faile from the Shaido Aiel.

I’m crossing my fingers for a big showdown Rand v. Ishamael over Falme w/ the Horn of Valere and all that.

Perrin also has the wolf plotline playing out. This is hugely important to his character. It’s not like he has nothing going on.

My guess/hope is that we’re about to see Egwene captured by the Seanchan, at which point we will learn way more about just how little agency the damane truly have.

As a long-time book reader, there are a number of changes they’ve made that I’ve quite enjoyed.

According to a piece done by EW, the producers very much had Once More With Feeling on their mind and viewed it as the benchmark to aspire to.

Once More With Feeling is indisputably number one.
