0:00 Foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] Tech channel here on YouTube where wool and I have got the TNT takes for you on Wheel of Time or should I say it's the wall of time with me today because I see you've changed your name today I play into it today bracelet you're reluctant you were reluctant to embrace it last week but it's good it's good to have you back it's good to have you back I'm not gonna lie I spoke to you before we hit the record button and I said I

1:21 Kind of feel like you know being back in uni not preparing for an exam and trying to like crunch everything into my brain like last minute when it comes to this latest Wheel of Time episode because there was a lot happening and I feel like for casual viewers like myself we saw one show and people who have read the books and know all of the intricacies of the bigger world you probably saw a completely different show to me yeah there's definitely a fair few nods to the book readers in this episode which is really exciting stole a few changes and a few sort of crossovers but it was definitely yeah it's very exciting for book readers around the world that were just like yes finally this sort of thing set that to take off and we see different areas and places which had not really been fleshed out in the series much and yeah it'll definitely take a bit of time hopefully they'll take the time to flesh out a bit more I think one of the biggest things for me as a non-book reader that's hard to get my head around now five episodes in first season this season there is a lot happening there's a lot of different factions that are coming into play I already forgot the name of the faction with the long nails like who they are I know that we go to like one of the was that their main village that they went to this episode like where the High Lord to wreck was that was that like yeah

2:41 No that's still one of the first cities that they invade that's Farm and that is the first sort of city that they invade the we found out in the episode that highlighted Torah should never have actually surroth should never have actually been in that little village with Perrin and the like so that was interesting it was interesting because you just you just refresh my memory actually there was a scene with naive and Elaine going into the village where Elaine immediately picked up that the people that were there were not from that Village originally and that the clothes of the guards were different so yes that makes sense that it's not the main village it's one that they actually took over yeah it's one they've already invaded yeah you say Elaine sort of alluded to and I think we'll hear more about it next episode yeah all right let's say a lot to people here in the live we've got Andrea Lee with the ten dollars thank you so much and really as always we will definitely put that to good use here on the channel says in quotation marks my water is yours from Faraday my I probably butchering that name but that's the girl who just came into the season right not no no that's avienda which we will definitely talk about and I hope you did not Google her I did not good I know you did that with

4:03 I saw the name I saw the name lenfir but I didn't but as soon as I saw that I was like there's something more going on here she's not a normal random character and I jumped out so I wasn't spoiled on anything besides the fact that I realized she's a bigger character than what I thought she was yes and I was I was just like oh should I go message him and say don't Google at the Ender because yeah she's definitely a key character who's actually come into the series earlier than I expected because she doesn't actually come into the books until book three all right that's exciting I've already introduced so that's cool it's exciting let's sell it to Lena as well she says she'll be listening while driving safe driving Lena don't watch us you know just listen while driving we'll be around here talking about the episode also Andrew Elise asked me to have a look at my DMs which I have done Andrew Lee so right at the beginning of the podcast you've asked that we play a game for Wheel of Time so what's the game that you would like us to play foil of time before we get too deep into it here and release all saying I would like to see TV scenes of troll locks preparing for their food and cooking these Foods as a book reader yay after one and a half seasons of waiting service are starting up because I do feel like in some ways well there's certain things that just drag on like definitely yeah I said a story lunch but it's like feels like it's dragging on a bit I

5:24 Don't think they have the time to let certain stories drag on within because they've got so much to cover so much content to cover that they will be trying like and that's the other Warriors they'll hit it with Breakneck speed and skip over bits that are really important to viewers really and readers in particular yeah yes it's curious and yes the trailer at the end was really interesting too the little snippet for what was coming we definitely need to talk about that and releases Chris I think you will have fun finding traitors via The Wheel of Time so starting from now who do you think the Wheel of Time traitors are and looking forward to your commentary each review episode and who you think The Wheel of Time Traders are okay well we can add I think let's add a section in at the end we'll if you can help me remember at the end yeah I've got I've got a couple questions for you at the end as well so that would be great I like it I like it I like being put on the spot so for those that don't follow the rest of our content here on the channel we also cover a show called traitors which is a reality TV show it's kind of like secret Mafia where there's 20 contestants three of them are traitors within their midst and they've got to find out who's trait who's the traitors within them so I do like that because we kind of spoke about that I think episode one will wear they had that table with people

6:44 Sitting at the table and we had to try and ident oh I said I feel like there will be a couple of reveals with people in that being probably traitors or big characters that we wouldn't be able to know from the start so yeah I'm excited we're and we've already potentially been introduced to some of them we've already now had lady siroth with the nails we've already had this pay off and we've also had the ring which I'm guessing as we definitely know we suspected it you suspected it in the last episode a leandrian being of the black Asia as well so that's probably the isody ring we also had [Music] our lovely Steeler of the Horner Valley names just run out of my head I'm trying to remember Pat and fame thank you very much yes yep it was one of my names I didn't write down in the book in my list today of things to talk about no that's fine that's fine all right well you know we sort of start off from this episode going to this big city you kind of spoke about the fact that she went out of her Spear of influence and she ended up going and taking the city and we find out that a lot of this was done by a shameel probably

8:05 Forcing her to do that because she has pledged allegiance to the dark side and this is how she proves her loyalty but the really symbolic thing for me was now that I've spoken to you on the channel I know how big it is that those males how much it presents to them the fact that got chopped huge and the fact that she's now no longer wearing the face covering as well those sorts of can you can you explain the face covering like what's the significance yeah there's it's it was all just part of the headdress the one that they've actually gone with I watched a little article a little video from the costume designers and they came up with that headrest themselves it's supposed to look the sanction armor and everything else is always described as to be quite insect-like so this was kind of like their insect type thing it's just it's just a you'd not see them like to face type thing if I remember rightly so now that she's got no header issues a bit more she's lower low down in the eyes of she's yeah she's lost a mobility of it lost her rank a little bit and the nails as well like the nails yeah well that's how they a lot of the times that's how they sort of communicated they have little symbol signs and single signals to talk to their voice with using

9:25 The nails right and now that they've not like no longer got those nails they don't have that ease of they don't have those that power I suppose but it was definitely you definitely feel the symbolism behind it couldn't you when she they cut it and you just see that sort of look it was yeah quite a quite a powerful wee scene actually and we also had the introduction of yeah is he big in the books is he a big significant character yes right so he does come into that it's interesting because obviously at this stage he's got all the power is xiaomial is trying to gain his favor as well by giving him a gift with Pat and fame walking in with a box the Horn of the lair which we can't they kind of allude to the fact that he likes gifts and obviously by the end of this episode he gets the biggest of all gifts and we'll talk about that a little bit later on because it was such a WTF moment for me when I saw it play out on this side that's a very big WTF moment but it's just kind of where we go on to it sewed if we're going to continue to stick to this whole theme of talking about characters and how they're developing this massive part of this episode that belonged to Rand and Moraine and specifically random Moraine and landfire with her running

10:45 Away from her and we spoke about how crazy it was that Moraine could sneak up on her slitter throat but clearly Moraine is still petrified at this stage because she's like that won't even stop her and she's going to come and there were so many things happening here to the point of again Marine's character is like one of the most interesting characters for me as a TV Watcher because we know that she's doing everything she's doing for the good and for the light but she's got ruthless methods of getting there like even sacrificing the poor horse Peddler in this episode oh and that was that like honestly we that yeah it was brilliant they the you're lost for words it was so nice to see that play out like Moraine is she's devoted to her life goal her life mission and as blues are and she needs to make sure that it all goes well and if there's if you're an extra you know you don't matter to the system you can play a part she's sacrificing pawns really she's playing chess and she's just utilizing the players and the and the that she's got and for them they're just pawns to move around to make sure that she's keeping

12:05 The king safe and if you're using the chess a knowledge analogy yeah and but even in the book she talks about and as Savage and says like even to Rand if I suspect you're going to the dark you know to the dark one I'll kill you too like she will she's just she doesn't pack any punches doesn't pull the punches and that was exactly what we saw on screen today where oh I watched it this morning like and just the way that landfair uses the power so if it effortlessly every Power scene we've seen so far of using the one power or every one of every time I've seen the ice that are using it there's been like this kind of build up that's like this in this to do it even down to the Alana showing the novices how to cut out the water like there's that sort of that build up yeah whereas landfair boom dude's head explodes like just it just disintegrates and it's just a flick of a finger like there's no there's no big emotion there's no it's just an instant booms nothing it's effortless if and that's it and that sort of helps give you that picture of holy how powerful are these people you know these forsaken because they're not needing to they just and it's it

13:26 Did you know yeah I was just like ebony like you say Maureen I will kill her I'll kill a horse I was going to ask on that and yeah I agree with you on landfill the even that with the horse Peddler where she was just like closing the mouth and she didn't even do a sign or anything she's like yeah you won't tell anyone brutal you know yeah and one of the things I wanted to ask you around Moraine is because I know moraine's storyline has sort of diverged away from the books in the sense that she doesn't have power and all that kind of stuff but for me as a non-book reader that don't have that I don't feel protective of that story yet I feel like I'm in a good spot where I'm going to read it later on and I'm going to appreciate that the book is the true Canon and this is a something that they're trying to create on TV in any case I feel like with Moraine just the character development around her not having power has been very powerful as a storyline this season and again specifically in this episode the fact that she still uses the ring as an assadai to get the horses and things like it just shows her like her wits outside of the power itself exactly so for to me it feels like it's adding to my own story not taking away from it but I don't know how it feels for you as a book reader I know different people will feel you're not speaking for all book readers but for yourself as someone

14:46 That is a book reader are you okay with Stories being changed as long as it adds to the character I yes to a point I thank her not having the power doesn't affect when she's coming up against likes of landfair because she's so low on the power Spectrum comparative to landfare it stops Moira ain't even trying to use the one power because she'd just get squashed like that quickly like nothing that she can do is of any nearer match to what landfair or any of the Forsaken are at because the levels are just different it's so much different so I think her having not have not having the one power means she's going to be a lot more creative and cunning as you're saying and strategic about what she's doing which I think if she still had her one power and she was still able to channel I think you'd have audience members not familiar with the book going why on Earth is she getting swept under the rug so easily why is she you know if she was trying to use the one power but for people that haven't read the book and they're just watching it going okay she needs to think outside the square now because she doesn't have the one power but she's still going up against forsaken do you know what I mean like I think it pays off in that respect I agree I would really like to have my rain regainer

16:06 Powers but I think at the moment when and especially in this season when she's sort of going Toe to Toe with it with landfare I think yeah I think it just helps illustrate the gap between the child levels yeah does that make sense I think it makes sense to me yeah Dolores is saying hello guys some oh my goodness I just saw this last episode what an episode as well Danica thank you for tuning in even though you haven't seen the episode I know you'll come back later on to give it a watch and thanks for helping with the algorithm as well that definitely helps get the content out there Andrew is saying the horse stable scene still does not make up for the horse stable horse stable scene cut out from the books is that land still does not make up for lack of Bella in the series Bella is a book favorite because this little pony horse from the very beginning when the two rivers kids bounce out of the two rivers for the very first time they have Bella with them and I think aguaine is writing Bella at the time and basically throughout the entire series Bella pops up from time to time yeah this just happens to be at the right place at the right time and someone

17:27 Has happens to be writing Bella so no Bella at one stage was thought to be a dark one because or you know part of the the just there was there was lots of theories going around about Bella because Bella always tend to turn up that's the Bella length but it's so nod to the books Dolores we actually did talk about this at the beginning of the live but in short basically the fact that the nails got chopped off and now she doesn't have her headgear will inform me that has got to do with the seniority so the nails they use to communicate and not having the nails means that she can't communicate effectively with the people that are with her yeah there's a lot of that sort of stuff it's symbolic too just that was a very like to fact it's like having like your stripes it's like if you're like in the Army in your command and you've got stripes and they get stripped from you basically and you're like low level now within that as well that's what spoilers this one here's this one here is interesting so and releases complaining about the horse being too slow or being the slowest animal and hint and they better not remove those storylines due to budget consent so clearly I found that interesting as well when she said that I was like okay so clearly they're in this world there are other things that they can use that are faster than horses well then there's also the talk later on if when we get into HTML and landfair talking

18:47 And they talk about how they're still using swords and horses to get around like this just their technology had gone well be well beyond horses it was interesting it was very interesting that those conversations and I mean I was a little bit confused again and this is where I'm like as a non-book reader I'm always like what's going on like they kind of talk like they're going back in time opposed to moving forward in time you know which is what they're supposed to be because they've not been there for thousands of years so what's the technology more advanced back in the day is kind of what I'm getting at and somewhere down the line that lost the technology yeah what was bro the world got broken essentially that's pretty cool that's why they call it the breaking of the world because it was broken and Technology a lot of Technology start working they stopped having both sources of the one power freely used the woman were the only ones using it because of the men's one being tainted and just it's like it was it's a bit like if the world had like a massive giant EMP hit and all of our Tech that we've got now stopped working and we need to go back to not using machines essentially and we didn't have electricity and we didn't and then after so many years you forget all about it so we didn't know that there was electricity and it's then there's people from 3 000 years before come

20:07 Through and was like hey hold on a minute why are we why were we using horses and swords again we've got like way past all of that's kind of where they've come to now but it's like interesting so yeah that gets me really excited for what's to come in the future and where the story can go I want to transition over to unless there's anything else from that first Chase let me just have a quick so we've got the first trade scene no that's kind of where I got through with that and then we get there moving to Caravan so no for that first chase scene it was just the savageness of both boy rain and then landfill yeah I wanted to move I wanted to move on to that next scene which is going to focus a lot on Perrin and specifically him with still trying to delay us yeah so still trying to figure out like what his place in this world is Elias is trying to tell him the people that you've got on your on your side at the moment they're not your pack they're not your people you need to be focusing on your people the wolf people we stick to our own we do our own thing but parents still has that Human Side to him because you grew up with these guys and you know he's got a certain amount of loyalty that he feels towards the people that he was with when they were looking for the Horn of the layer and he wants to obviously go and help them and he realizes that Elias

21:27 Has actually taken him away from the city that they're captured or moved to so at that point he wants to go his own way which was interesting and him going away having Hopper following him I believe it was Hopper sort of showing him a vision off his friend not being buried was quite interesting and we spoke a little bit about how they keep doing their character dirty I'm my notes I'm like don't tell me he's alive in a cage I'm like no we can't have because he essentially died in the first season yeah into the first season I'm like surely they're not doing us again they're not bringing them back again after we've just watched the spike Ram through the guy's mouth but no thank you he's just dead in the cage which seems a waste of a cage really because he's not needing to break out at all that seemed like sort of an odd Choice it's strange that they're keeping him there in a cage next to what we find out is an ale woman avienda yeah avienda so and she kind of gives parent the heads up don't make a noise they're gonna they're gonna see you but she sort of sticks to her own in that scenario and this is the part where it gets really interesting because I feel like we're starting to get introduced to characters that are going to become really big down the line yeah Dane bornhold child born hold is cool character and very interesting white cloak and

22:48 The introduction of him was great can you refresh people's memories of the white regards to on the white clothes because we saw it briefly in the first season and then after that they kind of disappeared so I feel like a lot of people may not remember who they are yes good nice so the white cloaks are and then they are almost like a group of military militia type men that religion almost that believe that anything to do with the power is dark and they fight for the light and they fight for basically that they've got like extreme methods of doing this yeah more extreme than the average person right yes and then the first season we're introduced to valda and he's a questioner and they are like the yeah they're brutal in their questioning and they have that scene between him and Dane in this episode where he's trying to get to at the Ender to question her and he's actually protecting her someone in there yes scenario which was interesting to see because it shows that yes he's a part of the white folks but he's not as lost in the source as some of them yeah no but that Dane bornhold's not stupid either he like

24:08 The white cloaks generally don't like the questioners like they're the same but there's some level of white cloaks that don't like the means that the questioners go to how they get questions out of them and basically and there was a little trick there too because he's like you know you're not going to get anything out of this ale but then he says you know he makes a snide little comment about wolves no wolves here and he sort of talks about the advancements like I wrote down the band between the two of them is great Amon valda is just he had he was a standout in season one for me as an actor as a character he was just like oh we're all gonna love to hate him and which is what you need and the white cloaks are a bit like that you love to hate them but then can I bring you cornhole yeah because I want to I want to ask about Dane that in that conversation when Dane speaks to the questioner and he blocks him it looks like Dane maybe has some sort of seniority versus the questioner and that comes down to his father because they allude to his father and they say well one day your father's not going to be there to protect you so clearly and I don't want you to spoil it for us but clearly he's at a senior level clearly his dad

25:28 Maybe his dad is like the king of the white cloves or like the leader of the white clothes or something like that but clearly he comes from a bloodline of nobility within the white cloaks is what I'm sort of getting yeah it's a really good thought I'm not going to yeah you don't have to confirm or deny but it's no but it's but it's something that's very interesting it's something that I picked up on there and then also just the Human Side in him he's also someone that when he meets perin here he's trying to it's almost like he's very smart like he said he knew Perrin was trying to do something he shouldn't be doing here it was let's be fair he knew who parent was or he knew he's a wolf because when he knew he was from to the two rivers and yes they'll have all heard about Amon valder's recent run-in with two people from the two rivers one having a wolf you know the golden eyes the wolf link and so he will have been suspicious of Kieran he also shows a bit of Human Side by giving at the end of the water which is a huge thing for the ale water for the ale is very sacred they that's why she often refers to Perrin as a wetlander because they live they always as cold as from the is very dry it's a desert-like

26:48 So water of any description is a sacred thing so they it's very precious to them so that's why they call a wetlander so giving give it being given water is a real it's a big thing yeah because that's what she gives him when parent ends up saving her she says my water is yours which is kind of like she is now bound to him in a way where she's gonna she's willing to follow him anyway it's interesting to see Andrea Lee who says avienda and Pera makes a cute couple I love the scene I love the scene when she was like you know I'm gonna follow you I'm gonna be with you or I could be with you if you want Emperor was so uncomfortable in that moment and then I don't know her character it's just like I was like is she is she with him or is she being serious and that's great and that's a that's a that's a that's ale humor as well anyone who's read the books will get the ales humor that very much love making these boys blush because they're so modest and so naive with a lot of those sorts of things yeah so they very much love making these boys blush and elf humor is definitely an interesting one which was always a hard one to read it was it was interesting and I always joked about how terrible it was but it was yeah it was a

28:09 Nice little play there the breakout yeah that was massive I love the fighting style by the way just as soon as she gets out and he's like trying to push her back and it's like listen I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna handle the business here and she's like Steps in front of him like no I don't need to be protected by you and when she started fighting I was like this girl is an assassin the way that she was moving throughout the fight was awesome to see parent is like brute force and she is like vaness dexterity agile it's like they're like yin and yang for each other which is perfect because it kind of works well together and her line right at the start is do a parent do you like to die I like to dance yeah because they the ale talk about dancing with the spears that's their name that's what they call fighting and battling is Dancing with the spears so she's like do you like to dance because we're like we're about to fight and then the other thing with the ale is she put up her veil yes which is incredibly huge for ale the an ales Veil a veiled ale is basically if you see an ailment with the veil up you're not going to walk away alive there's what the adage is so her putting that out it's like when I was

29:29 In school she's going to war it was like when I was in school as a kid and a kid messed with me I was like if I take my backpack off it's over like if you see Chris about his backpack on yeah I love it I love it yeah and yeah parents safe staying here right he because she was like full I'm gonna kill him and he's like listen yeah don't and what was interesting is she listened to him yeah he brought up the water he brought up he gave you water and that was enough for her to go she ate it didn't he okay oh you know you've saved me and we'll pull back from that no and it was lovely to see Perrin using a hammer I know at the end of the last episode four I was complaining about the fact that he was using a sword he had a sword with him so no it was nice to see him with a hammer fighting with that which was great and I loved the bornhold's ax that I think the picture that you had up of him with that it was great we're gonna move on from that to I think a part of the show that you really enjoyed because I saw a tweet from you where you said you really enjoyed seeing the brown Aja

30:49 In this specific episode and varen was a big part of that right she came to play this I mean I was I was sort of like very like listen like she's a she's a badass like coming in Back to the White Tower going to the library which we know the brown address from the library and she meets with two of her fellow sisters that are also from the brown agile I forgot their names you might have it in hand but they were in and the show but they weren't some great dialogue then those two not that I can remember they were not in the books did I write the notes down they were yeah honestly give me a detective show with those girls and running around the White Tower solving crime would be just hilarious I just got this one honestly I was just like I just want to go and sit down and read books and drink with them and have a bit of a bit of a laugh because I think they were just they're kind of your people though while being a master you know being a bit of an educator yourself someone that loves reading books and things like that I feel like yeah if you were a woman and if you could be an assadai you'd be a brown Archer do you know what and to be fair after this episode that's how I felt I was like yep we had that question last episode or like episode you know last video the one before is like you know who which

32:09 Arjo would you go for and I'm always sort of leaning towards the blues or the greens and I'm like actually after this one let's go Browns that look they look like they had a lot of fun got an identic memory remember all the things like I can see that there's like just the whole all those scenes in there were just really interesting and I thought it was yeah so like how they how they were talking I mean there was like this one line where they were talking about another person I don't know if it was another asadai within that the White Tower probably was and they said that I can't believe she didn't use a bookmark and she folded the page or something like that like there's like just those little inside humans like it was brilliantly acted great dialogue between them they clearly got the essence of the brown Archer right here got it right with the whole way that they were investigating and it was interesting because Veron comes back she's looking for the girls she's looking for naive she's looking for naive and egwin and during that she actually goes and talks to yeah and what a scene because I was confused as hell I mean we just had liandrin right at this point reveal herself as someone that portrayed the assadai as a black Archer she's gone with the girls but then you've got shirim here also kind of Defending what's happening and lying and we know that she's lying

33:29 And I'm like what's going on is she one of them is she and on this thing is there more people that are in on the plot yes and that to be fair and that's exactly what you got from that first scene with Varian wasn't it and it wasn't until they had the brown sister go and do a little bit of snooping and then that discussion afterwards which is like actually you can see that her writing's just a little bit changed like do we think that she was under compulsion which is a very much straight away it's a black Archer track because you can't you could well I said I can't use compulsion on anyone what do they call it they call it there's a there's certain limits that were put upon them by men there are three Oaths so yeah you can't lie you can't use the one power to hurt anybody unless it's to save you or your water and the third oath is just I shouldn't have put wall of time because it's escaping me right now I'm not a big head reporter person to be honest I don't know if you watched all the

34:49 Harry Potter movies but apparently Harry Potter's ex-girlfriend was brown I just Snoop I is it is it Cho is it is that the same actress I've got pictures of them here in the background I just gotta find them and I can bring it up I'm pretty sure that the end is somewhere so we've got yasika so it must be yessica is that what you're referring to Andrea I'm not I'm not sure so this is yasika I don't know if it's her yeah interesting I hadn't I it's just too I've just found another bit I don't know I don't want to allow ads do you find something as well I did yeah so interesting scene while you're looking for that in the background I just want to continue to move on here with what happens in the story but obviously Veron sort of also realizes now that at this point something's wrong and we move on to the scene with leandran and the girls where they're stuck in the ways right I think it's called the white yeah like yeah well it's kind of like two portals that they move in between yes it was the never to create a weapon was the third eye

36:09 Sorry I just Googled it all right Andre's just put it in there as well to never create a weapon that could be used to take a life interesting well they do end up they do end up going into the ways they're there talk about the Oaths like we said and Andrew being recruited for the dark one and then talking about the fact that everybody's got a price and then you know naive has again nanif has just been one of the standout stars for this season but she's got that line where she says well I hope that the price you paid was worth it so obviously we're going to find out more about that down the line because I feel like that's a significant line and at some point you'd find a little bit out more about landrum's motivation because I don't know why it's just the part of me with leandrin that's like I still feel like we think we understand her and we think how she's moving but I feel like there's like another layer we don't get that will be revealed in time because there is that scene as she leaves the girls where she actually allows them to be freed so she actually gives them like a chance which was confusing to me yeah so she actually alludes to three Odes she's talking about so first of all the ways great way of getting the girls out of the city because the ways were used in the back in the day to travel around and every main city has a way a

37:30 Way gate which is what you travel from as well as all the settings which is where the ogre their little Villages are now they're so disused that people have forgotten that they're even there or they're just boarded up and moved on so it saved Leandra and having to try and sneak the girls out of another out of Tavola on another means I meant so they could basically just disappear and no one has a no it knows or knows where they are also big thing about the ways is the ways are used massively in book two there's a like required a lot of the ways used in that so yeah it makes sense and we'll get into that we'll definitely get into that when we talk about that scene later on I kind of jumped the gun a little bit but we'll come back to that in a bit but interesting scene and the three O's come back to the three Oaths to chat about the three odds leandrian alludes to the great king threatened to burn the tower unless the three O's were taken now I could be wrong watches listeners but if I can remember rightly the great king was Arthur Hawking which is the sanctions sort of like King before they hit off the off you

38:50 Know that sort of family line before they go off on the boats to travel off so that's sort of there's a bit of a link there between that through the three Oaths and also the sanction that have now arrived on with the sunshine on the side of the light in the past or were there on the side of the dark because there was a scene in the beginning where the high Lord Tarak spoke to them and they said we're supposed to be recruiting these Villages and bringing them on board on the side of the light to fight against the dark so that shows that a shameel his play here is to try and I mean I'm putting two and two together I don't know so I can't be spoiled but he's trying to bring lady siroth in as a very significant player in the future to try and use the sanchin to become part of the dark opposed to the light so it would be interesting to know what faction they were fighting in or worth in the ones that yeah the light essentially they weren't necessarily bad they just didn't like eyes to die being free essentially they didn't like that they could control the power without any issues really yeah they're not being controlled and they had a word they have a name for it called Marathon which is the name for Unleashed Domani basically interesting Unleashed power users yeah

40:11 Right is there anything else you wanted to add it around before we move on the girls talking like you say liandrian continued to talk about the reasoning for her joining the dark one in the dark side and here that is because of her son essentially and she's trying to heal him in any way that she feels fit and as a parent you've like you kind of sort of you feel a bit sympathetic for her because you'd go you'd do anything for your child and if you've got a child who's sick and dying you know you would potentially do whatever you could in a Twisted sense like you wouldn't you know that's pretty Twisted what she's getting the sort of the levels that she's getting to she's like yeah I screw the whole world the world doesn't need to exist I'll let everything else burn around me yep yeah and in some sense you can kind of deep down you can empathize a little bit with that which is possibly yeah and that's also she's trying to give naive a reason too like nine Eve was like you're not trying to because you actually we talked about whether or not she's trying to you your thoughts was her trying to make her want to become a reader Azure a couple episodes ago and quite clearly now it's like no I wanted you to be on the black side

41:33 Andre Lee has says that the Sachin is distantly related to the will of time Lance it's like Italy trying to reclaim the Roman Empire lands today yeah which is interesting and it's yeah I mean we don't want to go too much into geopolitics but I mean there's a bigger and I don't want to mention anything because YouTube is funny about stuff like that but there's a bigger War happening right now for very almost similar types of reasons it's like interesting but talking about precious ones yeah talking about the show again we do get that scene where we spoke about avienda and Perrin coming together the interesting scene after the fight with them talking and her saying that you know she's going to be with him she's bowed now where he goes she goes type of thing which was interesting but the bigger one she's sort of bound to him because she's saved her life yeah so that's going to be an interesting and Powerful Dio moving forward in the story and I think he's found Maybe part of his pack and I don't know how Elias is going to feel about this because again she's an outsider advice there's Elias I think I pronounced it wrong but yeah Elias it depends how

42:53 He's yeah see I mentioned that avienda doesn't actually come into the books until book three this scene does happen in book two but it's with a different ale it's with an ailment and goal and girl sticks with piran throughout the rest of it throughout so they're again changing the story a little bit to yeah bring them together interesting yeah and which is interesting a good grade to have the scene because it was definitely an important scene do we hope we'll get a goal I do school's great there's some really nice banter between Gaul and a couple other forests tomorrow they might later on the mains of the spear that's just all add intricacies but they're also probably not going to need those because they don't really help the story go along other than the fact that they're interesting and entertaining at times yeah the last part of this is interesting because you know we sort of start moving into the random or rain storyline again and they both arrive at moraine's sisters City back at the house it was this very awkward scene with them running in there full of blood they clearly like have been through war and then the sister and her son talking about the wedding if they're going to be at the wedding and you could just tell like

44:13 These two are literally trying to save the world right now they've got so much weight on their shoulders well the other two just don't get like it's like two completely different walls that they live in it was such an awkward scene so well done yeah and it was it's so like for them that like you say they got the world on their shoulders and these are they're making decisions at the moment that will shape the world but for them they're making decisions on which canopies are going to be served at the meal and what cake they're going to use and that's their big decisions and it was such a nice red being mistaken as a ward yeah they thought it was a water and he's like no and but then the whole you know and this is Rand and it's and it's this is like we've met and then you watch this little look for marine like what how on Earth have you who was living out in the foregate and working at a at a at an insane asylum how have you met my sister and that you sort of caught she clocked it like you're like that's gonna come back up another time yeah such a such a good little scene there between them and obviously it's interesting because this is also where Moraine has that opportunity to talk to her sister about

45:33 You know it's kind of like the roles are reversed the sisters the youngest but she's now like the older sister giving the advice back to Moraine to question the logic that she has you know around Rand like will Rand be okay well is there any evidence that he won't be okay it's kind of like maybe embrace the situation that he's in and you can see Moraine has that aha moment where she's like yeah and obviously it's interesting because she says that landfire this is where we learn what I kind of expected I think we spoke about this in the previous podcast where landfill clearly was the lover or someone who was in love with the previous dragon and that's something that I kind of picked up before it was revealed in this episode and they talk about the fact that the previous Dragon broke her heart which is what turned her to the dark she wasn't part of the dark from the start and then the previous Dragon had a different wife so there are some interesting motivations here from landfill like what is landfill after she just after her lover is she trying to see that within rant you know it's very interesting where she's like well maybe she won't do damage to you but there is still a risk to meringue because Moraine can't fall asleep but friend might be okay yeah and she like trust the process trust she just had to get to the point where she's got to trust as

46:53 The wheel weaves the wheel well and if the wheel is wanting and needs this to happen we need to trust that Rand can do this and yeah the if something is upsetting you or did I actually wrote the note the quote down because I thought it was great because when I was a girl if the if something's upsetting you it is it true that you can know beyond any doubt that it's true Beyond any doubt that he needs your protection so basically does he need your protection and well he's so much stronger potentially than what she is and I think that's when she came to the realization like I'm trying to protect this person that is he's got infinite power compared to mine yeah and it was a very cute sister the sister scene too it was a sort of the first time you sort of felt like okay there is a little of that up till now it'd been pretty cold and distant but that was definitely a nice we've seen there and yeah it's going to be interesting to see who are you talking about here Andre I'm like interested now has he got a crush is it the son of bosses yeah he's about to marry the queen and he's chilling yeah he's gonna become the king he yeah she's gonna have to curtsy in the future foreign which is a funny scene yeah I'd really say correct I don't know I mean I don't even know if he's a character is he a character in the story is he is he just being brought in

48:13 Because the sisters being brought into the story do you remember I vaguely remember a character named by famous but I don't remember not a big of them not no big no big significance there's this really great scene though between there's a really great team between lanphia and his Shamil where the sharmil comes and visits her in his dream and I love the scene from the beginning that little fake out at the beginning yeah the fake out was interesting very interesting Coming really close kind of wanting to kiss Rand and then ransel and fear was very interesting but I just love the whole there was like a conversation happening but then there was a conversation within a conversation which was a power struggle where you could tell lenpheus caged she is she is caged by him right now he's got something on her and she was like she was trying to because lengthy is supposed to be the strongest of The Forsaken that's what Moraine told us so in my mind that should make her more stronger than a charmele but ashamel seems to be he's got something on her like he knows her reason for being in the dark which scared her in that moment but it was interesting because she also is bold enough to let him know to his face when he says well won't you betray me

49:34 And she's like yes I will and she says it like it's nothing it was such a they're old friends they give each other you know like they've known each other for thousands of years now granted they've been sleeping for most of it but they that was cold though that was cold she looked them in the face and she's like I'm not scared of you no and what I really liked about this scene and what I've liked about this episode in particular is it's showing us the reason for why people are changing to the dark what their reasoning is the first person was leandran we now know that her motivation for being following the dark one was for a son we now know in this scene and then also the talk we hear from moir down my own the reason for that the reason why landfair joined was because she wanted to get back loose there in talamon and so that's a that's her reasoning and that's quite both those reasonings are quite shallow and flawed then you've got Ishmael who's like I want to stop the pain and the way to stop the pain is to stop the wheel and that's like that's a huge goal like that's yeah and that's his reasoning for why he's joined the dark one every person who's a dark friend has a reason for it that's

50:54 His reason and that's why he's the closest to the dark one because the dark one wants that too the dark one is a lot more evil I suppose and a bit more bigger thinking than you just want to get with here at your ex from a while you're just a woman scorned or you know your son who was going to die is dying and you can't get over that fact whereas ishmael's like I want to stop pain globally by stopping the wheel but it's interesting to me because I don't know if there is a bigger meaning behind because you kind of have the feeling like landfill turned to the dark so that she could go after her true love and get him back that was my thinking of why she turned to the dark but when sharmil says I know your true reason for the dark it seems like there is more there that we don't yet know that could be revealed and she doesn't want it to be revealed or she is scared by that because that's what pulls her back and she's like sorry I don't know my place but yeah like a few people here are saying like Lena's saying I finally stopped driving that fear is scary yes she is and then Andrew Lee immediately says she's a wife what type of wifey material are you going after like listen yeah she's a beautiful woman but yeah geez and I just wanted to say hello to Speedy bird first time in the live great to have you here we're talking about Wheel of Time on Prime so I don't know what shows you previously watched on the channel but it's a little bit different from what we normally

52:14 Cover outside of the competitive reality TV run but a great show so if you're looking for something new to watch and you want to catch up on the podcast go check out Wheel of Time as well was really interesting there's a few other layers within that scene which I thought was quite interesting one of them and by all saying it's interesting it means that there's a bunch of stuff that he needs to very carefully he needs to dance with the spears yes and sure yeah to ensure that he's not letting us enter any spoilers yeah what's that what's the woman's name the one that we just had up the eye woman he's got to do he's got to do his bit he's got you've got to put the cloak on and down some Spears as you're trying to avoid I'll be in the dance with the spears so there's mention within that scene about the other forsaken we have mohedian and grenadol Grendel mentioned and then the boys she doesn't no one mentions their names they've not mentioned their names they just refer to them as the boys and should they talk about how weak they are HTML at the point is walking around and you can see in the background spherical seals yeah now that's very similar looking to what Ishmael was broken out of by Rand at the end of episode

53:34 Eight of season one and also very similar to what a chamel broke landfare out of in the last episode so that gave you the feeling that Ishmael has collected all the other seals with the Forsaken in them and he's just taken his sweet time to break them out when he feels that he needs to break them out so that was granted that it wasn't his dream so that it is in the dream world so maybe he's just putting them there because he knows what they look like and that's their representation of them and he doesn't necessarily have them yet but for me I'm like oh there's the seals there are the other forsaken that have not been broken out yet which I thought was quite interesting there was also the question about what Will Rand do when he sees that all his all his friends are lost are split up and then all these different areas and she's like he'll break because Rand is softer and there's no pride in his Birthright and he denies his power but that's what that's the round that she's seen in that snapshot right then with her time with them we're going to see him grow a lot I think yeah and I think that's what people were talking about bad as well in the books where he's kind of a slow grower on you as well because he is this naive little boy that has got to learn about the world he never wanted to travel it was never his dream to travel it

54:54 Was his friends who wanted to see the world so very happy being a sheep here today yeah just want to say thank you to Lena for the super sticker we really appreciate that will go straight back into the channel as we continue to improve the channel here as well Lena also says appreciate you never spoiling dolorities agree Lena so much and it makes me want to get more into it and this is talking about all of the like we spoke about this in the beginning Lena so much things for non-book readers to try and get their heads around like my head was hurting coming into this podcast is what I felt a bit more comfortable knowing that I've got the wool of time with me here to break it down and to add his knowledge like it would have been like I feel like well you're carrying 70 off the show just when it comes I'm loving the excuse to talk about The Wheel of Time To be honest so it's just to be a mission to find someone the books and then you sit there going and you talk for ages so this is it's nice to be able to I don't know if you feel like this as well Dolores but you know you see you say that you want to find out more and get more into it I'm the same like I like the first season make me read the first book and I'm going to be reading the second book as soon as I cover this at some point and I probably will end up getting to a point where well I'll be like you where coming into next season I'm sure I'm not going to be able to just read one book I'm probably gonna end up reading three or four of the books and I'll be a little bit more informed and a little bit further down the line which will make the podcast better as well because I'll be

56:14 Able to run at your speed but no you say that but I like the fact that you're projecting what your thoughts are just from what you've seen and that's quite interesting too because it's and as a as a viewer I'm sure it's quite interesting to sort of see for those people that have just watched it because they'll be thinking the same thing you're verbalizing what they're saying whereas me and anyone else who's actually read the books again ah interesting right so you're saying Chris sacrificed the next 10 years don't read the books don't get ahead of it just try and move with it as much as you can and I would never say that because I know how hard it would be not to want to read further on oh you know yeah Chris the novice of time yeah all right the other thing from that scene really quickly is ishmael's talking about the he talks about the girls and the boys talks about the girls talks about aguaine and ninevee collecting them collecting them one craves power the other fears it which is really interesting yeah who do you think he's born mine he was basically born to be mine oh right that was interesting because I didn't get that the math thing I didn't understand I was like this doesn't I don't get

57:35 That reference yeah basically there's a lot of he's leading in chaos and chaos and evil in him or something just distrust if you've got a little bit of distrust you know misery loves company and if you are a bit more a bit more on the depressed side and a bit more you know a bit more distrusting of everyone it's a lot easier for that person that little thing to whisper in the air to get you to think everything's against you so he's like you know he's easy he's an easy egg to crack and then the other one was parent and he goes he'll be more wolf than Manson enough and that's where I think the length with every Indo is really important because I think if he'd gone off with Elias and just moved with the pack and lived and stuck with him and the pack I think they probably would have gone more wolf-like but I think the link in the humanity link with avienda and then his drive to help his friends will stop him from doing that yeah Dolores there we go she said I did that with Outlander I saw the first episode and then immediately went on to read all of the books which I love so I'm already planning on doing that so getting into the books there we go so you see this is the positive about this is the positive about the TV show like yes it doesn't do everything exactly the same but it's bringing a new audience to The Wheel of Time and it's growing the community which I think is really exciting the next part of this we kind of alluded to it a little bit

58:55 Earlier on but it's leandrin dropping the girls off there is this whole bit between lady saroth and leandran one trying to like up the other one in regards to being more important when it comes to working with Shamil and with the dark it was an interesting bit of competition between the two of them here and Andre kind of mentioned that this becomes pretty relevant in the future like this is a big rivalry that's going to continue on moving forward in the story yeah it's definitely going to make basically what it is it's sowing chaos within the world the sanction provide that extra layer of chaos it stops the eyes to die and the other Empires the other cities and countries from uniting against the dark one and the trollux by having this extra unknown aspect to it's just making go crazy but I think this is where leandering is so good like the actress who plays Leander and are so good because you could you could see the disgust on her face by looking at her knowing what they're doing to girls that can weave and there is a real discussed in the sense that you are doing it wrong versus we're teaching them to use the

1:00:15 Power on their own and this is what's interesting about leandrin for me because I feel like yes she's doing all of these things but there is a part of her that's still usadai there is a part of her that's still very loyal to the code and proud of what they've been able to achieve in the White Tower somewhere there like because I don't think the conflict is against the I said I and I think the fact that she doesn't like I said I think it's just the fact that they're leashing any woman who uses the power like Landrum being a red very much is funnily enough doesn't believe in the menus in the power yeah but then you've got the sunshine who's like well we're going to take it a Sit further and say no one should do it by themselves you need to have someone like a checks and balances which is where the sergeant have the sold arm who basically control the Marne who then stopped that all from happening you know it's interesting it was an interesting scene and what also for me is still interesting again is when she leaves she releases the girls so she gives them a Fighting Chance which is interesting because she's kind of she's showing that she is still doing her own thing so the dark told her to bring the girls to Lady serif bring it closer to the Village but they didn't say how they had to get there they didn't need to be Shackled In Her Mind so she's like I

1:01:35 Can unshackle them because I did my part like I'm good I've delivered them yeah and to be fair she only freezes naive she doesn't feel like two girls you're right yeah she cuts the restraints on nine Eve and she could she knows that naive is the most powerful supposedly is the most powerful but also struggles to power Channel too so she's I'll give her a helping hand but even still that whole chase scene of the girls running through the forest or the jungle was a bit of a letdown I thought that cold chase scene just sort of ended very quickly and just seemed a bit weak yeah I don't know I think they just didn't feel that there was the need for it as much but it just seemed like they gave up on three and just took one way too easy they went yeah we'll just take one of you we're not gonna worry about the other two and then cut to a scene a little bit later on and they're walking they're sort of breaking into the city in a caravan with camels which made me feel very having spent a number of years living in the Middle East this show has definitely making me miss a lot of things the deadliest yeah the Baklava which you see the Browns eating in the library yeah there's lots of food elements and little aesthetical aesthetic elements that the show is bringing in that definitely makes me miss the Middle East yeah

1:02:55 I've been to I've been to for people who've never been to the Middle East I've been to the Middle East on holiday before and I actually had that question because I'm currently interviewing for a role and it's in the tourism industry and they asked me what place did you like traveling to the most and I always tell people oh man I enjoyed going to Oman because it's so off to beat in track and there's beauty within the desert like it's weird to explain to people who have never been there you know it's like it's a different type of beauty you can find beauty in different locations so it's interesting you spend so much time there that you can sort of see that as well but it's interesting because you kind of spoke about Gwen being captured there's the scene that follows on with hashan meal telling the Lord to rock that latest giraffe will bring him a gift So that obviously she can get a standing back within the hierarchy and that gift ends up by the end of this episode we will backtrack to what happens to Elaine and naive as well but since we're talking about it right now the end of the episode was quite a shocking one right to have to have for some of us for us further none for the non-readers yeah I was like what the hell they captured her they colored her and she's like one of the main characters of the show this is this is insane and I don't know how easy it is to break that collar well who can break the collar because I like feel like there's not going to be many people that can do it'll have to be one of them but it will have to be one

1:04:16 Of the sunshine that would have to break it yeah I can't go into spoilers next episode is gonna be fire interesting yeah we saw a little you see a little snippet right at the end that 45 second sort of glimpse into what episode sixes I don't think I don't think I watched that I don't think I watched the last video I still have to go I'll have to go back and watch it afterwards yeah and it definitely explores aguane's Arc a bit more I think we've spent it said it's been a bit more time with the grain in that next episode which is really cool and yeah she's yeah it's exciting I'll just say that yeah Danica you're gonna enjoy it you're gonna enjoy it if you're gonna binge it's good yeah and really says you need to watch it definitely need to watch it any car I don't know how people can wait that long I'm enjoying I think it's because for me I'm watching so many shows at the same time right now I don't mind watching one episode because I'm like cool this is my night to watch Wheel of Time this is my night to watch The Challenge this is my night to watch Traders this is what I like to do yeah I've got different things going on but yeah such a such an epic scene there at the end but then an even bigger sort of part of the episode wasn't even Elaine going into the city Elaine actually being really knowledgeable but naive being stubborn and like I'm yeah I'm more powerful than you I know better I'm gonna do things my way

1:05:36 Over there just because you're a queen you can't order me around and it's naive who's just not takes not seeing reason yeah 19 was a bit blunt there this is a bit like ah don't be a dick you know Elaine speaking common sense and making perfect you know reasonable statements and no he was like nope don't that annoyed me so much I wrote a note about that it just seemed like these poor girls have been out cold already at least twice now and it's the third time with that but also nine Eve we saw what is it one episode ago two episodes ago fighting two Waters at once and now she's just walking down and she gets pushed against the wall and is out cold again it's like come on like surely they could have come across they could have linked up with the yellow Archer better than that I didn't need to get knocked out didn't need to do them dirty like no they could have they could have just been like naive was a wisdom and would like Spence a lot spent a lot of time with like herbs so why couldn't they have gone into like a herb shop or something or you know like they could have been and that's how they found the yellow eyeshadow or I don't know but it was just a bit like come on pushing

1:06:56 Them against the wall and that's them and they're getting dragged away down in alley yeah out in Alleyway again they're just frustrated me a little bit Dolores thank you for having the reaction I was expecting other people to have you know as a non-book reader you know side that was ending was out of the world thank you yeah I don't feel dumb for being so shocked by that ending don't knock them at all because I'm assuming this is something accurate to the books like this happened in the books so what was it like experiencing it For The First Time In The Box yeah it was it's quite shocking in the books what I was pleased about was the fact that there was a visual leash in the in this episode previous situation in the times we've seen the money and the sold out you didn't see a leash there's not a like a not a physical connection it might be like a one power connection but to actually see the collar put on and then it sort of expanded to this sort of headrest like this Little Neck thing was a bit different it could have just kept it just being the collar for me I don't think it needed all the intricacies and the extra bits that kind of felt like he sort of almost was like a Iron Man nanotech type technology you know like it was kind of like it just sort of it went from the college I love the cgo it looks good yeah

1:08:16 It was really good but it just seemed a bit Ah you know for us book readers it was only just a collar a leash and then the link to the lame so no I think visually it played off pretty good for people who are watching the and it also yeah it's interesting I almost think like it shows you shows you even with the sanction like there's like a different type of technology that they have or specific thing to their magic that is very different like there is a uniqueness to how different people weave the power yes which is interesting and what how they can manipulate it everybody has got their especially specialty that they have within the and that's the one and that gets dug deeper in the books too the Affinity too you have strengths and you eat different I said I have different strengths with different sort of branches of it be it yes or fire or water or whatever yeah so we didn't we didn't get to see too much off the yellow Azure sort of explaining who she is or what she's doing there but it was interesting to see that darcya has got eyes everywhere and that there are people in every corner of the world and that they were able to finally find naive in the lane so it's going to be interesting to see how they play into this next episode the last sort of part of the episode was with Rand playing cards with the nephew Moraine comes in and says

1:09:36 Okay cool it's time for you to go and fall asleep she can't fall asleep but she sort of overwatches him and then he wakes up in the middle of the desert bound really interesting to a will and she I mean listen this is probably why Andre C the seat that lengthy is wifey material because yeah he's definitely telling us a lot about what he's Keen for I tell you that was definitely yeah straight out of listen I get it Andre I get it I like dangerous women as well it's not always a good thing you know but she may be like a little bit too much but what a way to end it I'm really interested to see how this next episode is gonna go yeah also we've had a special request from Andre to leave us with four sentences at the end of the chat for non-book readers it would look like normal statements but for people that watch the show they will know what that means so go ahead this is your opportunity Andrew Lee to leave your four statements at the end and we can read it out for people that are listening and then we'll I think the big question in the beginning was for me to try and figure out who the traitors were yeah I've got a couple other things that we talked about too all right go ahead go before I do the trade this you go into it yeah real quickly

1:10:56 The one thing I thought was really interesting was the use of weather within the story as well it's very much using it as an element to tell us where they are and how far they've potentially traveled I mean I didn't think I'm specifically well specifically you've got Carey hand where they're walking into moiring and Randa arriving into her sister's house Palace this snow and then you've got flip side to there you've got a grain and naive and Al Elaine in the desert by the water like you've got these big contrasting Community like environments which I thought was really interesting there's something I noticed so that's quite a cool little depth that they're putting in there to try and make sure that you can see that the weather's different and that sort of gives you that understanding of how vast the world is it's not like that just down the road you know yeah that kind of makes sense I just it makes sense I missed it as Wally now what else what else did you want to bring up there was that one and the other one was yeah just we've talked about I think was the reasoning behind the motivations behind people that would drive people to The Dark One which I thought was really quite cool okay so

1:12:17 There's four I'm assuming this is the four sentences Andrea that you're leaving us with a Venda plays a big part as a member of this cast and storyline Elaine plays a big part of this member cast and storyline Min plays a big part as a member of Carson store London Rand is a big member of the cousin storyline I don't know if that would mean anything to the book readers or not oh like I mean to us maybe not what's got some reaction I'm trying to see if all the poker face right now oh no okay I've got a much bit of Poker Face on there it's really hard for me at this stage like you know in the beginning Andre said who's the traders who are the people that potentially are treacherous in doing something who do you think who do you think who do you think do you want to go through the through the cast that we've been involved with so far the characters we've got and just go yep good bad good bad good bad just yeah okay let's let's do that just give me a sec I'll bring up a list of cast members that I've got in the back end and we can fear this could almost be a whole episode you just about go through and go who do you think who do you think's not reasons for why reasons is bad like she is playing the longest of long games right now slitting the throat of lenpheir trying to get Rand on his

1:13:37 Side but I mean it could be the ultimate Long play right if she is bad could be ultimate Long play to get a get him on her on her side and have loyalty to her but I mean that would be a shock like I feel like it would be far-fetched so at this stage I say moraine's good I say land's good would be shocking for him not to be good naive are we are we including like the main characters like the four Mains like do we include them in this in this thing as well or not the two of his five you can no leave let's leave them out let's leave them out now all right do you feel we haven't seen enough of Matt to be to be able to give a fair reasonable statement yeah hardly seen him this we didn't see him at all this last episode like if I if I had to make like a really bold statement on them right now then I would say like I'd say a Gwen because of her wanting more power I'd say she's the most likely to bend the rules to get what she wants in regards to the power yeah if I had to if I had to choose between them if I had to choose one and this could change with the future like you said Matt would just haven't seen enough but I feel like Matt is going to be Matt's gonna have the storyline where he's going to go down a dark path but he's going to be the ultimate hero

1:14:57 Like I just feel like that's a story I just feel like he's gonna have Redemption it's too obvious for him to be yeah loyal I don't feel like I've seen enough to really know too much about Alana I haven't really seen a lot about her the keeper I feel like there's something about the keeper I don't know why I don't trust her fully it was an interesting scene between her and leandron because of the fact that they didn't know where whether the seat is and what she's up to she was kind of like a blocker so I mean I could put her as a questionable at this stage lihandron we know the man we know we know I'm trying to think who else is like big characters that are sort of coming up Veron I feel like is good I just feel like veron's good at this stage who else is there here Elias is doing his own thing it's not part of anything shariam was sort of there was compulsion involved so can't really say too much there trying to think who else is Big here so here's an interesting couple of people obviously Celine we know is not I'm just going through a lot of people very quickly

1:16:17 Here Min seems to be manipulated at this stage but ultimately will be a good person this is kind of how I see men Elaine good old innocent delayed could she have the capacity to turn dark I feel like you know be a good like I mean there's nothing for me to go off but that would throw me off too many people too many people at this stage so if I had to like bang on who I think the biggest potential for a Trader is right now is a Gwen that's who I'd go for I feel like she would turn back but I don't know if she is dark already or if she will embrace it down the line yeah so I don't know if that really answers the question but yeah I like this game we'll play it more in the future we'll start bringing more of this up there's another character that was referenced in this episode that we've not come across yet which was gone which was Elaine's brother and there was definitely a scene in book two that as a reader we and a big fan of Matt would have loved to have seen happen but now that Matt has left Tavel on I'm guessing it's not going to happen so that's really disappointing and I hope that they managed to bring a scene in later on of Matt we can't go into details for spoilers but there's definitely a net scene that

1:17:38 Happened at tarvelon that was yeah one of my favorite yeah I'm excited for that and Lena here says my new favorite is event vienda not caring for his wolf for this wolf brother though so I'm assuming you're talking about Elias or parents what are the two you'll have to you'll have to clarify because parents my favorite character he remains my favorite character even now like I'm really enjoying parent in the show I kind of like Elaine for the girls at the moment like but that's why I'm like don't be don't be a dark one don't turn to the dark please stay innocent Stay pure she seems really sensible you know yes like he doesn't like Elliot he doesn't like Alias she doesn't like Alias yeah because he's because he's trying to get parent to embrace the wolf side and forget his Humanity basically yeah this has been fun this has been a fun hour and almost 20 minutes talking to you about this latest episode of yeah I actually thought we were going to be a bit crooked because it's only one episode today but it's actually there's been a lot of a lot of stuff to talk and talk about there was a lot going on in this episode but yeah it was it's been fun talking to you obviously we'll be back next week to talk about this again I think this is this coming week that you've got something coming up did you say or is it the week after that yeah this coming Sunday of May right so we may just for everybody that's here in the life we always
