I’m more referring to Thom as the vehicle for learning that “Lord Gaebril” is not who he claims to be.

I’m sure they’ll keep it very father/daughter and avoid having Elayne hitting on him. If they’re smart, they’ll use it to reveal Rahvin.

I thought we’d see some sort of montage of him winning at dice during the “Hills of Tanchico” sequence. Missed opportunity.

Yeah. That would have been nice. I hope we start seeing it more explicitly

I always loved that notion in the books. It would be like trying to find one particular “I❤️NY” tshirt.

I loved this episode from front to back. I didn’t even mind the Cauthon girls healing Alanna. This is starting to be really good television.

I don’t think this is a problem. So long as the fight is violent and appears to be fatal, the door can be set up by Mat.

There are 3 episodes remaining, counting the one that drops today.

I think maybe a season and change - bringing her back at the end of S5 would seem about right.

She can work with Rand when she gets back.

I think she’s going to “die” this season anyway. So all that’s moot.

Probably at least 2 years.

(A) I don’t believe that’s a direct quote; (B) her actual line is something more like: “gray skin, blackened fingers”; (C) Lanfear names it a “gray man”

The “slog” had more to do with waiting for the next book only to have many of the plot lines go unresolved. Now that all the books are out, it’s really an unfair label.

I have long argued that this show would be best served by making the audience believe that Rand turning to the Dark is a real possibility. To that end, an emotional connection to Lanfear keeps the tension ratcheting up until the very end. So to that end, I think it is a very smart choice. It also gives a second compelling reason to keep the Tower of Ghenji in. The audience will tire of the Rand/Lanfear dynamic. If you ice her for a season and change, then bring her back right as things are getting hairy for Rand…
