Wheel of Time Season 2, Episode 4: Daughter of the Night

[primeideal]

Getting Myst vibes from the Forsaken prison.

 

Does Moiraine know how Logain feels about Ghealdanin reds?

 

Nynaeve's new quarters are much swankier than the novice cells, do all Accepted get this or is she just crashing in the Warders' wings again?

 

Cadsuane namedropping again!

 

"You help me and I'll help you." Moiraine goes hard :o

 

"I just hope it's not Red" hahaha the poor guy.

 

What a scenery cut. The hills are alive...with the sound of werewolves.

 

And here's the stag patronus...?

 

"Instinct. You'll learn what they mean, how to send them" I understand there have to be some changes for a different medium but this is really kludgy.

 

Aww Hopper showing his name to Perrin. Okay that was kind of cute.

 

"Red hair, I know that gets attention around here." Good point.

 

"If you want something, you have to take it." Kind of an ironic echo of Moiraine's book quote, "take what you want and pay for it."

 

"We quiet ones are quiet because the conversation's always playing out in our own heads" Not at all from the books but I like it :)

 

"Now my son is going to marry the queen" I don't know who this is but I don't think it's going to go well.

 

"To get to choose your own fate" awww Egwene.

 

I appreciate the characterization of Min as someone who Does Not Like having visions and would do (almost) anything to get rid of them, plays in with the themes of free will and destiny. So having Ishamael here (and her standing up to him) is a nice take. "I won't help you hurt anyone" "You will" is this super long-term foreshadowing :/ And for Ishamael, his goal is the destruction of everything, all of space and time--a world where Min sees nothing, because there is No Future to see.

 

"You are the first woman who's ever seen me as a man" I...assume I understand what he meant by this but. What were he and Egwene.

 

"I don't know how much time we have. Until I--" "The same as everyone else. Never enough." This is...actually kind of cute and poignant.

 

Lol I have not seen most of Game of Thrones but I have osmosed that there is a similarly awkward sex scene/identity reveal juxtaposition. Who wore it better?

 

Haha we skipped Moiraine and Anvaere's awkward tea party and now Moiraine just crashes the party. Womp womp. Good way to fast forward through the plot though.
