Eh, Ishy had been partially sealed/free in the books for quite a while, right? Also, there is a 0% chance that those are swords. It's shocking that anyone would get that from the scene. The blades look like spear blades and you can see the long handles.

Exactly, so you agree that the Foresaken could have reasons for not just blasting someone with the power. Glad we agree?

Demandred literally used a physical sword in the last battle and Rand got the wound in his side from a staff wielded by one of the Forsaken in the books. That's levels of magnitude below what you're complaining about.

Why would it be silly?

I mean, not here to argue the choreography since I'm no expert and it looked fine to me. Just pointing out that they're pretty clearly spears and there is really no reasonable argument that the team doing the show would make them swords.

What? Those were 100% spears. You can tell by how the blades are shaped (tapered) and where she's holding them.

Eh, is the Elayne and Avi thing that far-fetched though?
