A Memory Of Why

Came across this:

Yeah it was good fun, didn't dig the flips though but everything else was cool. Agree on Mat wanting to humble some princes. They've done well with Elayne, she's picture perfect for me and I like nearly everything about her.. except the whole healing the dagger wound thing, that still irks. Raff confirmed in a recent interview that the duel is this season and with Mat being back on track we'll get things that were missed / cool Mat scenes. He also confirmed..

I don't think it's on Prime exactly, it's a live pre screening you can sign up for. There's a thread a bit below this one (maybe 9); "global fan event..." with a link to sign up. Nothing major, only requires you provide name & email. You'll receive an email shortly with a link, set an alarm and you're good 👍

I mean, I wouldn't talk smack about Semirhage either. I agree she's the most likely for the last female forsaken and that statue does make me think of her, they could have a lot.of fun with thr Queen of pain. Mesaana isn't really present early and barely on-screen by her end, merging her with Moggy could fit well as she isn't doing much when Mesaanas about, wouldn't need to change much. My guess is Demondred is the last, keep him as a wildcats, have some fun and after the black towers formed drop a line about how pleased the great lord is with the army he's gathering so a whole new generation can jump onto that theory.. that's totally obvious to the casual obvserver.

@DreadLord31 here's the lil ones ;) Sooo.. Moggy, Semirhage?, Chewbecca (Sammael), Ishy, Lanfear, Asmo, Demondred?, Bosom (Graendel)

Or just a darkfriend, but yeah my guess is Asmodeon. Ravin jumped into a position of power and founded his heram of concubines, doesn't like direct confrontations and employs traps and sneak attacks. Also they die at roughly the same time and means.. Asmo could fit this well I think, an ancient rock star who pined for importance, gathering his prestigious groupies. And its not like his the most courageous of.the forsaken, I can see him running from Rand like he's a murderous rabbit, sniping him with sneaky tricks. Also, I'm thinking the two unknown forsaken are Semihage and Demondred..

Yeah I am comparing it to a "surprise" attack from an "inferior" force, whilst under siege from channellers who could travel. Not only was their defence horribly abysmal but the only "faction" that held their own was the novices.. Novices! That's canon dude. And yeah, I agree that the Reds and Greens are the most capable in battle, again canon. With the blues being a step behind, outside of testing the other Ajahs aren't going to be helpful... in regards to a surprise attack from an "Ajah" that is known at best to be a myth or a horrible joke. It's possible the black sitters are replacements but I think they'll be the Ajah heads. Still, is it so outlandish that the Blacks, who don't know each other would feign attack / defence in this scenario? Again, it's canon the Aes Sedai aren't as cool as they think they are, let alone ready for a fight.. I think you're barking up you're own tree dude.

In the sacred texts the head of the green Ajah was embarrassed with her an a her Ajahs performance during a certain attack, is it really surprising this ambush was handled abysmally? Most fans talk about how arrogant and incompetent the Aes Sedai are, yet you're arguing they shouldn't be? And I still think there is a couple of black sitters that didn't get involved, staying quiet for the coup. There were 3 Reds, it's weirdly cut when the black intervene which makes me think we aren't seeing everything but there were 3.. I think you may need to take off those black tinted glasses dude 😎

I was thinking, but wouldn't there be more blacks sitters? At least a couple were involved in the coup, though i guess they could replace the ones killed..

I think this is what was shown at that exclusive event a couple months ago, and they said the action lasts another 15mins. Anyone else feel it was weirdly cut in places? Maybe we didn't see the whole scene? P.s. omg, redstone doorway!!

I didn't miss a beat and jumped straight into denial. Obviously this was Ishy having fun, seems right up his alley to mess with the lights prophesies. It was fun to think how a made up character who cosplays as the father of lies, with one lie countless fans lost their minds.

Amazon has released a 12 minute snippet of episode 1 on Prime, go to extras and look for "Sneak Peek".. Don't want to spoil but leane is my favorite for this scene.

Yeah, I found the Forsaken scene to be quite fun. I don't think I'd be upset if they decided to make it all about the Chosen and how they would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids... 🤔

Character poster's, can't find the original post but apparently things are going to disolve..

I was thinking something similar, but trailers rarely show late game stuff so we're most likely mostly seeing the first 3 episodes. Perrins stuff I think is beyond that, but it could be before the big Isam battle.. the hunt or pre-big battle, considering Faile is there that's most likely.. Though than again.. 🥲

He looks a but manic, I'm thinking it might be during Eggy's test?

That was fun, I'm going to be hopeful and say I'm excited 😇 Glass columns looking fantastic, same for the 3 rings. They're really leaning into Moraines death, bit of a shame as I liked how shocking it is in the books, though they're probably moving away from it being to Gandalfy. Galad looking like he needs a good humbling 😉 Lanfear in white.. Could that be Meiren opening the bore? Suian lifting Liandrin with the power.. maybe to show how weak she gets? Battle of the two rivers, yeah! Bubbles of evil 😈 I'll have to pick it apart later, only one month guys. The unstained tower, broken, bends knee to the forgotten sign. And the world was changed forever..

I was thinking Mat goes into the doorway just before or during the Moggy fight.. Which sets up the last scene with Rand leading the Aiel back to Rhuidean to save him bring hung from the tree of life. Moraine freaks out, tries to heal him and gives Rand a letter just as Lanfear appears.. After the commotion Mat picks up Moraines hat which compliments his new spear and medallion combo. End credits scene: Samuel goes to Shayol Ghul.. let the lord of Chaos rule...

Ohh glass columns! Cheeky Matt placement 😉 .. Is that Ishy back there?

👰‍♀️ 💋

Well they can feel the Damanes feeling and such through the Adam, I'd imagine that could be used to assist with communicating. Also as seen in Season 2 the Damane have a special ability that allows them to...

Correct, Elaynes talent is creating Ter'angreal, which we know is a talent from the Seanchan. She is also adept at studying and replicating them. Hmmmm, regarding Nyn and the male adam.. I think that's the only pov of a female channeler touching it so we're both speculating here. Think what you want, though I'm still going with it being similar to the Female adam in that respect 😎 Anywho, my point was that Elayne has a think for Ter'angreal and Nyn for healing and it felt like they switched it up is all.

That's a cool detail, I've been thinking there's a good chance we'll get the Fin, though probably only one visit. With Mat likely going to Tanchico, he'll need a way to fast travel to the other side of the continent and the Fins would be a great way to tie that together. I also think Moraines hat is telling.. 🤔 I'm thinking we'll be getting a lot of book 3 Mat, he doesn't do much in book 4 and is to soon for book 5 and they need to do something with him like.. Proper healing at the tower and leaving the dagger there for Fain to pick up. Crazy gambling night and introducing his luck and / or "dice". Meeting Thom and promising to deliver the Elaynes letter. Saving an Illuminate like a hero from a gleemans tale. Overhearing an assassination plot against Elayne. Meeting the Queen and Gabril. Heads to Tanchico to save the day, maybe even kills the assassin and / or rescues the girls in some fashion And finish it off with him going through a strange doorway, interacting with strange beings and hung from the tree of life to satisfy his Odin arc.. Maybe..?

Yeah, I quite liked Ishy and Rands interactions. Got a solid gaphaw out of me when he takes off his Balsy face with a "Now we can have a proper conversation". It was a fun callback to the books, though I do kinda miss the comically evil Balsy who thinks calling someone a fool and a worm is the gravest of insults. Fun fact, did you notice whenever a darkfriend meets a Forsaken they fall over themselves to reassure them they are indeed a fool and a worm?

As I said "read", and from my understanding the Adams have an adverse affect for channellers of the opposite gender. E.g. male adam = bad touch for female channelers and vice versa.
