So I have been lax in posting about this season as it has gone on. I finally watched episode 6 today and there were major pluses and minuses. On the plus side the return of Thom was WAAY overdue. I loved it. And screen time for Elayne is always welcome for this Irish musician + bonus that she sang.
#WOT S3E2. Finally Elaida. Her voice is bothering me;maybe that makes me ableist if it isn’t a choice by the actor. Oh well. The character assassination of Morgaze in the first scene was gratuitous and another sign that the writers don’t understand the characters. Still I like the seeds of the coup.
I do like how the dream sequences with Lanfear lead to Egwene meeting the Aeil dreamwalker wise one, Amys. Still the Renna scenes are gross and needless. These are not the droids you are looking for. Move Along. I am warming to prematurely going to the Aiel waste.

So are we collectively beyond the “Muslims hate us because of our freedom Schlick that they told me on the ‘90s and ‘00s? Pretty sure freedom means not being abducted for writing op’ ed’s in the college newspaper.

#WOT S3E1. This Episode is mixed. I like the rooting out of the Black Ajah. I guess we have traded off the character assassination of Mat for more misunderstanding of Moiraine instead. Character development is really not the strong suit of these writers. I guess the needed to make up how to split …
#WOT S2E8. Well I was satisfied with the conclusion of this season at least. The character assassination of Mat finally ended. It was unnecessary. So was the character assassination of Min for that matter. But the episode was good. It was quite badass when Mat made that spear. Amazing scene! …
#WOT S2E7 I am starting to get sick of the character assassination of Mat and his family. His vision was pointless and if they are setting something up, it isn’t anything good. The Rand and LANFEAR plot is not bad. I like how the characters are all converging on Falme.

#WOTS2E2 rewatch …and now they introduce Selene/LANFEAR! She is just as sexy and wicked as I could hope. She brings out Rand’s mental struggle, and I love it. I don’t mind this little detour on Rand’s plot, especially since it will give us some more Logain. Verrin’s interaction with Moiraine is…

#WOTS2E1 rewatch. sure enough we get unnecessary scenes with Perrin filled with rage & with Liandrin tormenting Rand. Then there is also the fabrication of Moiraine’s stilling. This also causes wasted screen time angst to start this season. Too, weird call not have Rand in this miss of an episode.

Those wouldn’t have been boring scenes! Now they need more fabricated scenes in later seasons to follow up on the poor decisions they made for each boy in the first season to untangle the web. But I fear they will just be introducing Sheldon the great’s cave instead. Pfff. Anyway. On to #WOTS2!

#WOTS1E8 rewatch. I think the not last battle was handled well. The horn scene was a bit of a letdown, so was Rand’s victory. But that is all overshadowed by the amazing performance of Egwene and Nynaeve. HFS Nynaeve! I hope she isn’t too much of a let-down from this peak going forward!
Finally in #WOTS1E7 we get some interesting scenes with Rand, and OF COURSE it is mixed with the introduction of the amazing Min! Love her! He slight age difference means she won’t take any shit from him but they definitely have chemistry on screen.
#WOTS1E6 rewatch. The introduction of Siuan Sanche is an interesting tactic. I think I like that too! We are the culmination of our lived experience. Start at the beginning! Then show her being herself and a badass. Hmm I skipped an episode. Loial was about the only good thing in #WOTS1E5.

#WOTS1E4 rewatch. I do at least like the foreshadowing of Perrin adopting the hammer. Love it actually. I love Logain in action. And I love that Nynaeve thinks Liandrin is a snake. Liandrin is unnecessary in this entire season though. I hate the way the Logain plot goes with her.

#WOTS1E3 rewatch. I love the introduction of Tom, and the Tuatha’an, + the tease of Logain. Also, Nynaeve and her fearlessness will keep me coming back. Otoh, this guilt with Perrin is so effing study.

I finally enjoyed a scene in #WOTS1E2 the song about Manetheren is right up the Green Bard’s alley. Remember the battle and the sacrifices of the people of Mentheren. “Weep, weep for Manetheren.” “The old blood runs deep in you.”
