0:00 Welcome back to the nullified take on YouTube where will and I have got the TNT takes for you on Wheel of Time episode six I believe it is now we've only got two episodes left for this season which is crazy to believe it feels like we only just started watching it like two or three weeks ago well and it's scary to think that it's already nearly finished we would have so loved to have had maybe 10 episodes but no just to see just the eight sadly yeah it's been it's been definitely heartwarming to see that Wheel of Time Has Done well on Prime on the streaming it's constantly in the top 10 for the longest period of time it was number one in the top ten I think it's only just recently been overtaken by another show I saw yesterday in the pop team here in Australia I think it's still the top ten in the in the states I could be wrong but I feel like I saw a post on Twitter yesterday saying 40 days in a row it's been top number one on Prime which is great that's great yeah so the one that's taken it over is the con the Continental which is and that was literally just released this week I think so it's a brand new job too I believe so I wonder if that one had all of the episodes released at the same time and maybe that is why it is as popular as it is I'm not too sure but obviously with Wheel of Time we're only getting to see one episode at a time so I'm sure people

1:20 Who are following the show closely as soon as it releases they're probably right in there and they're watching it and I had a bit of a you know I had a barbecue this weekend I told you before we hit the record button I had a barbecue I went to a couple of friends like friends who actually met in New Zealand years ago who moved to Melbourne and we're now catching up after 12 years living in the same city again and going over there yeah small world going over there this friend of mine is a massive Wheel of Time fan and I actually forgot about it because I've got another friend who I told everybody about from high school who was a big fan and they had the full collection of the books in their house I stole one of it which I thought was maybe like one of the first covers because it looked quite old school and they've got the prime covers now but you had to show me up before we went live yeah no this was one of my old these were the sort of the old era ones I'm sure there was probably one prior to this but these were sort of like the old fantasy that put the image on the very graphic image on the front to try and clue and teenage boys to try and read it and like I said there's a bit of a bit of a Celine there and a Lyle and ran there with the horns so cool that's yeah and it's a very warm very well you

2:41 Earned the title wall of time here on the podcast once again but I'm so excited to get my hands on this book because obviously as soon as the season is over I've been holding off from reading the second book I will be getting into the second book even though I know the storyline has deviated quite a bit this friend of mine here's one of those fans of Wheel of Time that really doesn't want to watch the show because he's like it's he's a purist the show is deviated too much he's not letting his partner watch it who hasn't read the books and I told them I haven't read the books and I'm enjoying it and I've got to say like just hating on the show for I get it like I mean there's certain things that I'm such a big fan of that I probably would be in the same boat if I was one of those fans that have been with the books from the start but I do feel like people are missing out on some of the great acting that is happening in front of our eyes this season because yeah one thing you have to say if you take your rose tinted glasses off and you look at this in a vacuum the people that have been and casted onto the show is doing a phenomenal job well yeah 100 the cast is they've been given their roles for a reason it's not like yes some of the casts look and it would in a describe differently in the books but my goodness if they had found an actor that encompasses

4:01 That character more so than they just don't look how Robert Jordan described them I'm happy with that because they these actors are taking to life bringing to life these roles and my goodness this episode this week what to get into oh yeah and I just there's that the emotional damage meme that keep popping up and there was a lot of instances like that during this it's just like oh and yeah the actor's fantastic the set and costumes are on point the costumes in particular the set's a hard one because you're trying to give a vastness to the world and the cities and often you've got a limited budget so you're smaller and you get that feel sometimes but if you can look past that and just see that the attention to detail that's given the attention to the lines some of some of the scripts little bits of line that have us and have me writing down notes going oh this could lead to because they are being very cautious and careful with what they're saying a lot of the time there's the odd bit that just don't make sense but fine line very interesting observation there

5:21 From you and I knew I was so glad because at one point there it looked like maybe our schedules wouldn't align in regards to when we could pre-record this so that's the reason we're pre-recording this for everybody that are listening to this later on will I know is gutted he loves the interaction with the live audience as do I but you know we wanted to make sure we recorded this and at one point we're almost done in a line in fact wool has just had the spicy cough and he's coming back from the spicy goth to do this so it still do still do apparently and this is I slept all afternoon and instead of my normal coffee I'm on a lemon and honey and Ginger hot water which is very much against my normal but it's definitely helping we're appreciating you being here because you're moving up on a lot of things that I missed out on but I want to start off on this episode and we're going to talk a little bit about this character and all of the different scenes that happen because I feel like this is one of those episodes again where they bounce back and forth in a lot of different scenes but I want to talk about this characters story arc you know a couple of episodes ago the story arc went around naive but this one was very much about Edwin and what she went through and I think this is a perfect picture to bring up because this kind of embodies the situation she's in and the beginning of this episode and I've got to say man it broke

6:41 My heart seeing her in this situation I know that people were saying that they found it interesting how shocked I was when she was colored but I think that this kind of you know I saw this coming they don't treat or anybody any of their money as human beings as people as women they're basically like pets they're like dogs they are on a leash and they've got owners and a lot of this episode is focused on her and her keeper the person who's becoming her owner which is Remer I believe is the pronunciation of it sorry Serena and yeah you know this was logically at so many different levels how she broke her down the training that she had to go through what she had to unlearn I mean imagine believing that the sun is the Sun and the Moon is the moon but then suddenly you've got to believe that the Moon is the sun and the Sun is the moon it's kind of it's kind of how I took of that it was a very interesting episode and man oh man this character is going through some hell in this episode torture straight up torture and it was there was so many like people talked about and I actually agree with them is it's

8:01 Top 10 like 10 out of 10 for the for the for the for the episode but I don't know how easy it is to re-watch and I don't know how much time watching it's going to have like I've already watched it twice now and as I said before I watched it for the first time sick on my phone and actually watched it on my computer just before and it hit me even harder just that little bit more yeah big screen more wrapped around in the hearing and oh man it's just gut-wrenching and they just there's a lot of people previously will try and talk the Assumption and the books oh you know they're all right you know like there's no no they treat they treat these women they're not woman they don't call that they say you're not you know no longer a woman you're a Devane and you know there's a line from Rena towards the end of it like nothing exists outside this room you know this picture this cup my cup is the size of your world like don't worry about forget about every everything else this cup is your world now it's indoctrination is basically what it is it's great break it's literally breaking her like yeah he's breaking in the stallion basically you're breaking it in and there's that line where they say the strongest Armani are the hardest to break in are the hardest to break yeah oh and but the relationship Rena

9:22 Took that character on xelia amendus who plays Rina she like she's perfect in that role of just like you could just sense that she wants to be proud of her going you know we're going to leave a grain with her name for now like that's a treat to you we don't normally but we're going to leave that to you we're going to leave you with your name it's okay equine yeah it's okay but we'll leave it with you like it's not treating them as equals it's not treating them as a female talking to a female it's I'm talking to my dog here your dogs you've got lots of power you know you've been great at finding criminal sniffing out but you just need to be a good Domani and but what I found interesting I just want to add to that as well what I found interesting was Rena saying that she wanted to cultivate a friendship between the soldan and the Domani and you know that's something that they don't normally do but I think her idea of what friendship is really twisted to be honest with you because they're still not equals friendship it's not an equal friendship you know like they joke about a dog being a man's best friend but they're still that level of you need to know your place yeah and just the torture and the [Music] there was yeah just

10:42 Interrupt the makeup that happens throughout this and the physical changes that happen to agreeing to Madeleine during eyes like the eyes like I completely forgotten I remember growing up and I had a wee dude that was in my primary school that got ran over by a tractor and he spent a long time with eyes like that and that had like that gone when I saw their eyes like that I'm like whoa that's right that's how that like and it's Pitch Perfect like oh you know that's not a that's not that's Savage that's not something you often see to that extent in movies and stuff when they're talking about torture and beating someone you're like you don't see you see the bloody nose or a cut left or whatever but you don't often see bloodshot like blood not even bloodshot it's literally blood blistered almost eyes you don't see that no it's an example you could definitely see like you said throughout this how it became more and more painful for her obviously because like you said she is very strong-willed in her own mind trying to resist constantly there's this test with the water pitcher and having to pour water for herself which is even more evil because she can't even get to that water pitcher to get water for herself to be able to drink water and

12:02 We don't know for how many days she was there it felt like this wasn't the one day it felt like this was over quite a few days with her not having water at all you know not like she just wanted to inflict pain on her captor and she couldn't get that Vision out of her head and every single time got knocked back because she couldn't hurt and she had to realize she couldn't hurt and then the end of this episode when she finally is able to get this there's this moment and this is where the actress who plays a Gwen just did such a good job because you can see it in her face her demeanor when she is able to touch the picture and throw water there is a mixture of relief and disgust within her face that she is now able to do this and it shows you that the training that has happened has subconsciously changed her mind because consciously she still wants to inflict damage she still wants to not be a dog or on a leash to the soldan in this case but subconsciously her body has had enough her body is caving in her mind is caving into the fact that she doesn't want to go through this pain anymore and I think that level of storytelling and acting it's award-worthy in my mind and I'm not just gaslighting it I thought this was brilliant reacted and that's and we've it's we've

13:23 Been talking about the acting previous episodes as well and likes of nine Eves acting and everything else but that's just holy what's gonna happen in the next two episodes if it keeps if the acting levels keep going keep increasing like that yes because my goodness that scream at the end of this when she realized what she's done is was just gut-wrenching absolutely soul-breaking that yell and scream and then that cut to the to the I should die and the other and the other cell was just like oh yeah and not just the normal us to die one that we actually saw yes sir one that we actually saw in the first season in the first season she was there when Moraine was expelled from the White Tower she was actually in the season so quite interesting there she is and she said she ended up breaking a lot quicker than a queen so once again showing the power within a Gwen to be able to withstand the kind of torture and the training that she went through for so much longer than someone of this level of this experience within the eyes of that ranks yeah because basically the sitter is like she's the head of the blue oxide yeah it is it's slightly a par element basically you're top

14:43 To I think it's three sitters per Azure they get to go into the circle essentially with the emerald in seat and they help sort of govern everything they a pretty short story could be two but I'm pretty sure from memory and it just that the fact that she broke quicker and experienced icer dive the blues a blue Archer at a sitter and obviously someone who's like you don't get to be a sitter and remember I talked about how the ice today have a very much a power play on the amount of power you can control as well so yeah you can't actually become a sitter unless you have some level of power as well in the one power so she's a strong user a strong Channeler as well as obviously being very strong-willed and powerful woman to become a sitter and a grain lasted longer than her and then you've got to look back to Lyle's line as you see the ogre as he's walking out with Inga and he says there's still underneath that exterior you know when they're talking about the kennels and while we're on him he had a very a very interesting and that was an interesting line but he also had a very interesting scene where the lady siruth made him sing and that sort of was quite

16:03 Significant you could tell there was something that he didn't want to do it's something that is sacred probably Terminus people maybe there's a little bit more backstory that you can give us all that yeah so ogear they live in what's called setting settings which is and they are very much about like one of the things that they love is looking after nature and trees in particular and a speech so only certain oh gear can do something called tree singing and that honestly a lot of a lot of Wheel of Time readers thought that's probably something that the series would leave off just because it's difficult to explain visually or difficult to explain and whether or not it actually helps for the story you know it does in some situations during the books just for different things like but in the series we weren't sure if we'd ever actually get to see it so I was chuffed when we got to see it and it was a really interesting way that we got to see it you know lady sirov being this she's a quintessential brat she's a rich quintessential brat you know she's got more money than Lord Turek and

17:24 Yeah because she's yeah she talks about it because she's like I've got more Domani than him and if we go by demanding they're worth more than money you know and she's just like you know she and she's big working around her sycophants you know like her people that are around her she's like you know look at me I'm fantastic look I can make him sing and make the tree bigger but then as soon as they're all amazed with Lyle and start looking at him with oh she's like rock that's it off you go you know like trying to shut it down because she's realized now she's not getting any of that she's these they're looking at her him not her and yeah she's just a story brat really I was just like oh yeah you get more and more horrible every time we see you yeah no I definitely love the true singing that was fantastic I absolutely loved it thanks for giving us a little bit more of background into that as well for especially for those of us that are not book readers that maybe didn't understand the significance of it but you could see again in the acting from the actor who plays louelle that there was this hesitation and there was the whole talk about you know it being kind of like sacred to them so I could definitely pick that up at least as someone oh it didn't have the backstory and the Lyle is a is another character that fans struggle with a bit especially book fans because they've changed the

18:44 Look of him quite dramatically so I think this was good to try and go we know we've changed a bit here's trick singing and not and not to people maybe to try and get them on the right side but maybe and the actor himself is doing a history like apparently he's he interacts a lot with viewers and readers and stuff and he's actually trying really hard to get amongst the whole world which is really important so he's gaining some followers and some questions that way that's very good and let's move on to another character here that this episode was absolutely massive obviously lenpheir has now been unmasked everybody knows who she is she had that very hot dominant dominatrix type of clothing on when if we go back to her in the dream world with Rand being sort of tied up on a wheel and they have this conversation between the two of them which is quite interesting because this is Rand is now seeing her as who she is and there was the whole talk about trust there's a whole talk about Rand trying to play into it but clearly she is it's kind of like playing with a snake you know what I mean like she is so dangerous and for rent to be able to play with her in this manner I think she's

20:04 Aware of what he's doing and that's why she's like I'll help you a little bit but I've got conditions of how I'm gonna help you and what you need to do from your end in regards to this and one of those big conditions was to get rid of Moraine for Moraine not to be close system and to also try and sow seeds off mistrust between him and Moraine in the scene where she said you know you were sent to this or you went to this specific City where Logan just so happened to be clearly morenas not to be trusted there's more going on here it was interesting to see how she's trying to push that wedge between them yeah I really like that scene I had like I said I had a good laugh at the whole what makes you think you can't trust me and he just does this little slide looking like I'm cuffed up right now and she just sort of like oh yeah fair enough I thought that was I thought that was great I was like yeah I thought it was interesting that she admits to keeping his dreams safe for the last few months but then we've also seen him having nightmares still so that means that if that's the case she's the one causing these nightmares purposefully which I thought was quite interesting I also thought it was interesting that she is trying to say to him that separating with his friends is no good in

21:25 That scene she's like you know why you don't know where your friends are you've separated from that makes it easier for HTML to get to them and he's like you know he she's like you've pushed them away I thought that was a really interesting interaction for her to have with him there and then the one condition and then it cuts back to him leaving my own and I want to have a little pause there was oh my second watch there was something that made me a little bit on my first watch and I didn't really put a finger on it but then I watched it a second time and then I kept going back and going back going back about the 7 Minutes 43 mark on the on the on the show and anyone who's watching this curious to see your thoughts there's a slight he wakes up is as eyes are dilated he looks Rand wakes up he looks over to more rain and the Moraine games is really insignificant nod little really tiny little nod and then you'll watch ran give a head shake at about 747 literally just cuts from her doing a little nod to him doing a little head shake and then he busts him with the I've got to go so I'm wondering if there was something in between that and I could be reading

22:45 Into it but there's always layers upon layers with these shows and also with these characters in particular from the books knowing them so I'm just curious and that's not a that's not a spoiler from the book and the slightest because this whole this whole scene and everything else is not in the books so it's just from a pure speculative observation from watching just this episode again I'm like I wonder what that's about it could be completely nothing but it just seemed too interesting and if you actually watch it's just as like it's just strange from the wake up look at her she does this really sort of little nod and then he does this shake before breaking into what he wants to say but I think you picked up on something because I didn't pick up on the nod and the little Shake of the head but there was this Split Second the first time I watched it and the second time it wasn't as obvious because I had this week I actually had the opportunity to watch the episode twice as well and the first time I thought he was still in the dream world when he woke up it was something felt off and yeah and then I was like oh no actually he's having a conversation with Miranda seems to be real so you're right it was almost like he was out of character for like a few seconds something and I

24:05 Don't know what it is but it's well I don't know either but I don't think it's dumb I don't think it's an accident you know what I mean there was something off on purpose on that scene yeah it was just that the little slight because I noticed his head shape and I went what's he shaking at her for and that's why I went back a smudging and then I watched it again and I noticed a little head nod and it could be completely nothing could I don't know but I've just could also be a whole thing of him playing into the fact that he is trusting Lynn fear in a way by sending her away and maybe letting Linfield feel like she's got the she's starting to get a hooks in on him and taking control by him pushing her away and all of that but it was interesting that he said that you know the deal is you stay away from me otherwise she will take you out I'm keeping at PG for YouTube because you never know what YouTube Flags but she will she will take you out of if you if you don't leave me alone and then they had a very quick conversation about Logan and you know moraine's like obviously I send Logan here where you can train not under the eyes of the White Tower it's not a big deal it's actually there for your benefit because you need to know how to wield the power that you have and you don't currently have that ability so that was a bit of or nothing conversation but I do want to move on to the to this to the second part of the dreams that he had because he does have a second dream in

25:25 The episode as well and this dream is quite a significant one because he wakes up having by the looks of it having taken out all of his friends basically in the show and he has this guilt and then the Shamil comes into his dream having a conversation with him here and saying this is what you're going to become this is where you're heading to men can't wielder power you're going to go crazy and all this continuing to try and drive him away from his friends I think by doing that and then lenphia comes in and makes him venison I love the whole interaction between the two of them where she's like is she you know with his nickname you know like don't be here if he doesn't want you to be here and she takes him out I still wonder if there is a sort of a little bit because you mentioned like it's strange that landfill is helping him to this degree which for me not knowing the full story arc of where she's going to end up and what's going to happen it kind of feels like there could still be a plan behind a plan here where they're still working together in a certain way but then the counterpart of me is that she's trying to like because she had this very important conversation with leandron which we'll talk about in a lot more depth in a bit but she had a very important conversation and there was a specific line in that conversation where she said you've sworn you're oath to the dark but there's a lot of ways or a lot of paths you can take within the dark to still get your way basically so I'm sort

26:45 Of wondering if that was her trying to get control of Rand at this stage to wield the power that the dragon has for her own purposes even while still being obedient to the dark if you give what I'm saying that line was leandrian to Landrum not to around I'm sort of wondering if the that line that she used when she spoke to leandrin right yes it's a very interesting line I wrote it down I wrote it down specifically to talk about that and we can definitely talk about that with the Landrum but in a bit but I'm wondering you know I know it's two different scenes if that isn't sort of showing her motivation with Rand like yes she is aligned to the dark but she is also her clearly her motivations and how she wants to accomplish what they're trying to accomplish is different to Isha meals so by her having more control of Rand because he's the power everybody wants the power she can then further sort of promote her own Ambitions if that makes sense and it kind of ties in I know it's two different scenes but I feel like it gives you a better understanding of landfill as a whole and how she is trying to accomplish what she's trying to accomplish landfair's entire reason for becoming a dark friend is to get loose Darren that was her which is the

28:05 Dragon yeah and also because you basically it's Reborn the wheel spins out the characters again and again that's how the Wheel of Time works so like everything's doing to repeat itself basically and everyone's doomed to be reborn and come out and sort of redo and that's where Rand is he's the dragon reborn he's lose there and we're incarnate so that's why she says even a line earlier on there is a little bit of lose in there I love that line which yeah because there's little bits and little hints and little you know and she's seeing that she's reading that she's sort of putting that on to Ren and seeing that for her I think I think can I talk about that line because what I got from that line was that in the previous episode when she was talking to the charmele she was saying he's not like Lewis he's a lot more soft he's you know a lot more caring in that so by whom trying to manipulate her I think she saw Lewis within there because she's like Lewis was a little bit more calculated he was a little bit more manipulative as well and by him doing that she saw that's where she got that flashback are you actually you're still the same person which is it's interesting that the characteristics is maybe not completely but there are some similarities in the characteristics that both of them have yeah and also that what she said to Chanel at that point

29:25 She may have been trying to have Ishmael underestimate brand as well having spent a lot of time with him she may have gone actually I don't want her him Ishmael to know that he does have this bit of strength and a bit of a stubborn nature let's you know let's play we can yeah let him assume that he's gonna break because his friends are gone you know let's do that you know that's easier for her because then she he's a lot less caught and you know unprepared for win lose there and or ran does step up and pick some ass basically so I do want to talk about another thing in this dream in this dream section right so yes she gives them the ability here to she basically tells them within the dream world you can firstly die so you've got to be careful which is new for us to know that I didn't know that is someone that's not a book reader so that was good to know that you've got to be careful in there but she also mentions that you can travel around the world you can go anywhere and she gives him the option here and she knew going into that giving him this option she was going to build trust but you could tell that it was killing her to give him the ability to go see a Gwen because she knew as soon as she gave that option there was one person that he was going to ask to see and you could say acting you could see it I was literally like don't say you're going don't say a grain dick don't say going you say gwain you've got this

30:45 Woman scorned in front of you who's you know sorry Segway see one of the other ones you've got any of you can visit you can visit pier and Matt do any of them let's go again the one who's going to really fire up and put a Target potentially on a Gwen's back too think about that yeah you know if you've got this woman scorned the last thing you want to do is highlight someone who you really love yeah you love essentially yeah because that's going to put her in the crosshairs as well yeah you should have said land that would have been the right answer that should have been Len but you know the title of this episode was Eyes Without Pity and it clearly was Rand here having no pity for land for your saying let's go and see a Gwen that's the that's the title of the episode yeah but then that's interesting little yeah definitely a little knob there too yeah the dream stuff is really interesting talking about like you said anyone can travel you can travel in there you can die in there and then you can visit people's other people's dreams and talk to them now going to the sticking with their whole dream thought that was where the line from landfair to leandran stuck out to me because

32:06 I went Ah that's interesting of how she's put that because she went there are many paths to walk through the night now for me that's not necessarily just being you're in the you're a dark friend for me I'm thinking that landfair is going to teach Leandra and how to walk through dreams and use her in the dream front and train her up in that mind because many ways of walking through the night windy dream at night time so for me that's why I wrote that down I went ah cool so they're gonna she's gonna start training landrun up to do some of that stuff which I thought would be really very interesting because I did have a question for you because landfill clearly understands the dream world really well that's a power of the chance but a sharmil can also walk within the dream world is this something that dark fiends automatically can do or do they specialize in different things like for instance this is actually land for his ability but a sharmil sort of also knows how to do it Walking In Dreams without giving too much away was a lost art right or and then yeah can't really go too much in okay but it's

33:26 Not become but it's not something that all like fiends can do it is no not all no dark friends not all of them can do it at all The Forsaken all can't different level of strengths like it's a it's a very it's a hard one to control because it's in a dream like you know even like just you know you think of something and you can change so you could you know and you can think about something and you can change your clothing or you can change the things around you change where you are you can travel from so there's lots of you've got to be really controlled within your mind without you know you know you start thinking about triloxins you know you're surrounded with trolleys and they'll kill you know like there's a lot of control that comes from it and the more and more time you spend in it I suppose the more Adept you are but then there are were a certain channel is back in the day and even non-channelers that were dreamwalkers and it's an interesting one I won't go into too many details for potential spoilers that's fine but the dream worlds wait it's shortened a tour tlr and on Twitter talk and stuff because it's just too hard to spell out at a TL and even to say it as a nightmare but it's an interesting one yeah I do want to I do want to talk about the scene

34:46 With a Gwen lying down and them going in there and then ran for the first time appearing now obviously in a Green's mind she thinks rand's dead she doesn't think that he's still alive and now he's appearing there and I think that Rand wouldn't have known this but what he probably did was he probably helped break her in this moment because you know when he's hallucinating yeah well not just that there's this whole thing that when you go to war and you go fight Behind Enemy Lines as a soldier you don't want to be thinking about your wife and your kids at home you've got work to do you need to have a different mindset because you're in a battle and I think that with her she was so focused on the battle in front of her of not breaking and you know being very uncomfortable being comfortable with being uncomfortable and then she gets this person this love loved one that she cares so much for coming into her dream and she gets taken out of that space where when she comes back I think that in a certain way it probably weakened her at a time that she needed to have her head in the game and it probably I'm not saying it was the only reason but I feel like it probably didn't help and ran probably didn't realize that what he was doing wasn't really helping her in that situation does that make sense it's an interesting take I really like it I see I'd almost flip the opposite side and say that it helped ground her

36:07 With Humanity where you've got this the slaver that's trying to basically torture you to the point where you forget that you're human that was her a link very interesting so that and also the other thing that they took in their with that whole going back to iguane and rinner was the tree yes that whole tree scene I know the tree gives you happiness and she's dependent and then next you know she's burning it to withdraw that happiness so like there's a lot of symbolic things yeah it's dehumanizing her again and that's where I thought I thought the whole Rand visit may have actually been a don't forget you are human and you've got people that love you this is what I love like you can have two different people getting two very different things out of the show and that's the beauty about Wheel of Time right now because I don't go into a scene for Wheel of Time thinking that the scene is what it is I'm always looking for what is the symbolic thing behind this what is the extra layer that I can try and pick from it and then you know when you and me come together we talk about it's always interesting to hear the different theories so for people that are listening to this at a later stage in the comments section below do you think that Rand appearing in a queen's dreams helped her or made good yeah did it hinder her or did it help her let us

37:27 Know because we've got two different theories here but I did want to move on from that to the leandran scene so you know this is a big one we spoke a little bit about what happened here but the key thing here that I couldn't pick out by the end is that you know obviously named landfill is brutal and she's like I'll do the work you can't do I will kill your son for you I'll take him out so that you can then basically do what you need to do and this after Lee Andrews already sworn an oath to the dark she's already done what she needs to do for her son to stay alive and it's not made fully clear by the end of this episode if he is actually gone or not so what is your theory he's definitely dead he's got so she wasted she wasted her opportunity to try and keep him alive basically and they showed that they're not to be trusted basically landfair decided that this man this son of yours is holding you back and we need to unleash this pure evil hatred and nastiness towards everything and what was it I can give a gift from one woman to another you know and they thought she talked and we got a little bit of extra backstory about Leandra in there too it was a quick throwaway line but it was enough to go you know you were he's holding you back you're

38:47 Beaten and starved and forced to marry before you bled which basically meant she was a child bride who was beaten and stuff like those sorts of little bits sort of help layer upon what's created this character of leandran and gives you some reasoning behind it and obviously the only thing that she's ever loved potentially was that son and now he's gone and landfills like right now you're mine you know you've served you've sworn at the oath to The Dark One not to Ishmael he's a man you hate men let's go and then with that then like I said there are many paths to walk through the night and that's where I just went oh snap she's about to unleash leandran on people's dreams and just basically formulate this nightmare stuff which I yeah curious very curious to see what's going to happen it's very interesting I want to move on to another character that also had a sharmil sort of reach out to her in their dreams and it was Min on this next part of the episode where men sleeping in a sharmil comes in and he says that you know make sure that he leaves with Rand you know you've brought him to this point and you can see that at this stage Min kind of wants to back out

40:07 Of the deal because she feels like you know at this point she's done what she needed to do but every time that she does that another request is made upon it which she feels isn't fair with the deal she wants to have the Visions taken away from hers it's funny because a lot of times when we think about you know superheroes like even like Marvel Superheroes or whatever you think I'd be great to be able to be a mind reader it would be great too but she has seen the burden of it always knowing the fate of people before they do seeing a friend that she now starts to get closer and closer with and Matt and knowing that his Destiny is to go out there and what we at this stage thinkers portray red but it could be one of many things that she's seeing the I imagine the Visions aren't always completely clear to her but it looks like he took him out and she's trying to prevent that from happening right so it's she's got this problem and I like that little line of her where she's like well if I don't do it what then and he doesn't tell her what so she's like well you didn't tell me what's going to happen so I don't know if I'm going to stick to the plan I see I'm feeling quite confident enough to be able to talk about this because it's well off the book what's been written in the books so I'm just gonna but this story is diverged quite a lot right there's one big theory around her now is if she's working

41:27 With a shame ill is she in the same position as Landrum did she is she a dark friend is the question yeah and yes by the fact of her talking to HTML would make you think that she is right but there's the that whole instance where they're talking and she's like how did you know what I saw that there was enough for me to go that's what she saw all right so he's probably manipulating her dreams or her Visions yeah because that's that was enough for me to go oh okay because theoretically no one else can see what she sees she sees the aura around the person and then from there she has the only way anyone else is going to hear about it is if she tells us about it so the only thought is she's dreamed about it or he's made her see that vision my thoughts in regards to that so because yeah like I said it's completely off the script so I feel pretty confident to actually just bust in but yeah men having this whole interaction with a forsaken no never

42:47 Happened who had been a dark one or a dark friend dark friend zone or dark one I don't think she is I don't think she will be I think that would completely scuffle the whole Arc of men yeah what's supposed to happen with her in the future wouldn't make sense because I saw a lot of people online sort of complaining quite a lot about the direction that they're taking that character on obviously I as soon as I see anything like that I'm like okay I can't read then I don't want to read what's going to happen I'm like doing I don't know what I'm doing like kind of I'm dancing with the swords you know every time I go on Twitter and I like try and reflect like Tai Chi all these spoiler things like trying to recognize the episode until I've watched the episode then I'm like I'm deep diving into seeing what everyone's saying and there's some really just anyone watching and have not read the book please be mindful of Twitter trolls out there if you're on Twitter because there's a few of them going around at the moment personally spoiling story for you know book 13 book 14 so please just be mindful of that it's a dangerous space out there or for non-book readers or early books come here come listen to us every week this is a safe space where we won't 100 no not intentionally try not to try not to spill all spoil

44:07 To be fair but no men I'm still wanting to see a bit more from MIM as she was one of she's one of the characters I really enjoyed in the books yeah and I'd like to see some more with her it's a bit of a side character at the moment at the moment and I have not I'm not sort of attached to her at any point yet do you know what I mean like a lot of my characters even small ones like Roma like that we'll talk about I'm sure Captain Salman no we'll sell them out we'll talk about men but that small character but yeah Matt that whole mats and ran ransing can I'll I'll paint the picture and you can go from there as we've been doing going into the scene love the scene where he's out gambling throwing dice and having a wild all time while Rand is walking in the village and he hears Matt's voice and he can't believe himself he walks up to him from behind and they Embrace this is the first time since season one that we've seen two of these major characters I guess of Gwen and naive have never really been split but this is the first time the boys one of the three boys have met up back together and hats off to the actor that plays Matt because the emotion again top

45:28 Tier level acting you could see it in his eyes like how happy he was to see I mean his eyes look watery they Embrace and he's like where's the others he's thinking that Rand is with them and then Rand having to reveal it's a long story and going through the whole thing about everybody else because obviously he wasn't with them because it deviated due to things outside of the control of the producers with the story but he wasn't there when everybody else was told Rand is no longer alive so he didn't know that and I loved the whole scene about how Rand spoke to him and said I need to Oh I thought I needed to stay away from them then but now I realize staying away is actually more risky for everybody that's from the two rivers and that they're in more danger and as he's saying this you know Matt's been struggling with that himself so they bond over the fact that they both have struggled with being there for the others and obviously the conclusion of this is just heartbreaking where ends up on but I absolutely love the reunion between the two of them oh it was so nice wasn't it was so warm from having this the grain going on and with this torture to seeing these two friends that have grown up that are you know Tavern is brought them together to meet them up you know that's their power that they have by you

46:48 Know being to everyone and they've brought them together and it's just fantastic it was such a warming you know they said Matt Dyson as per usual you know clearly winning also as everyone's like ah and then as soon as he turns us back they're all in there like all right well he's not looking you know and then also like I loved the book it was a little nod to the fact that we've got a different act there is Matt and it's the first time they've met since the actor changed and it's and it's Matt going where is you here like yeah you've changed yeah you look bloody awful look awful you look different and it was just like oh that's brilliant because I was worried that it was going to be the other way around where it was when we like ran like oh I know you look you look good you know like I was like I was pleased that was Matt going what the hell's happened to you yeah which and he's the one in a nice dressed outfit and Matt's the one who's looking all disheveled and dirty you know and he's the one saying you look all yeah I thought it was funny as well yeah and then the first drinks on you because you bollocked up my role I was like oh brilliant yeah no I love that whole scene where they were talking about you know you're not better off without random and we're not and they were reassuring each other it felt like that these two characters at this time in the journey actually needed

48:08 Each other and they needed each other and then what happens afterwards just Heartbreakers is heartbreaking again and it was this whole bloody episode was like that man like once I keep playing with their emotions why do they keep playing with our emotions like that man yeah no it was rough but no I felt for Matt there because it is because you know you know like Rand is like Rand gave him an out and he's like listen what I'm going through you've done some hectic stuff you don't need to take this is my responsibility you don't have to take this weight on your shoulders and then Madness yeah like who's gonna who's gonna prevent you from becoming an arrogant prick now that you're the dragon reborn you know it's gonna be me yeah and it is and it is it's like this becoming an arrogant prick Dragon reborn oh no it was great and then I can now see why people mentioned like I've not gotten it yet we've met we're starting to warm up on me the characters started to warm up on me it's starting slowly but surely they're building to it they're building to it for me you know and then having him and Min get together and again there's just so many good lines here knocking on the door like hey do you have someone in there should I be worried yeah many men and it's like

49:28 You know what I'll remember about you is that you've got very low standards exceptions hahaha Such Great Moments and he's so happy and juvial to the point where men is like she's not even playing games like she normally does with him she's straight to the point brutally honestly and listen you can't go what do you mean like I haven't told you that I'm going anywhere and she's like you're going to this place right and she's like this is what I saw you can't go all you will end up being the end of Rand brutal for them to come through that realization that he's not going to be able to be there because he knows emotionally I think he's more connected to rant than anyone else because the same insecurities he has about being there for his friends he knows Ramses is going through this and he doesn't want Rand to have this weight off the wall on him on his own and he knows that he's gonna have to let him down and he's gonna have to play in to being the jerk that is never there for his friends once again which is what he tries to prevent there's two things that you're just heartbreaking there's that breaking letting his friend down and then also finding that he'd been portrayed by men this whole time yes he thought that men was there was his friend you know they were going through it all together and then he comes to the realization that she was putting the cell beside him purposefully you know like that to him like he has not trusted

50:48 Anyone for a long time because of that dagger and Min was the first person that he thought they'd formed a friendship I'm breaking you out as well let's do this together and we're going to you know we'll get through this together and then to find out that it was all the facade it was all fake it was betrayal and just her whole thing where she's like listen I am your friend the reason I'm preventing you from going is because I know what's going to happen you don't understand what this is costing me to come out and stop you from doing this like and that's true too and he won't and he might not ever find out what it's costing her but he's never going to trust her again yes it was heartbreaking because they had such good chemistry these two actors together these two characters together and you just know it's such a tragic end to a storyline that I know everybody fell in love with we had a lot of people in the life even in previous weeks talking about the two of them and how well they sort of fit together but the next scene that I want to go into is one that was kind of teased at the end of the previous episode and then it didn't fully make sense to me but I was like I need to see this next episode this is going to be absolutely fire and this is one that includes Lan this is a big scene obviously that he's still traveling with Alana

52:08 And with her two Waters at this stage they do go to I believe a temple of the dark forsaken for The Forsaken yeah which he's like this is a strange place to camp and there's the whole scene of them being in the tent and as soon as you know things gets a little bit Rowdy he's trying to like sneak out to go do his thing because he's got bigger plans and then get stopped by the waters he has to face two waters and another day he's got no chance here but they're kind of putting him into a corner because at this point he has held a very big secret he's held moraine's secret he's not let them know what's going on and I find it interesting that throughout this whole time that they've built this sort of storyline they haven't let in on the fact that they didn't fully trust them or that you know there was some doubt in their minds so they kind of left it very late to say listen there's something going on we don't know if you're part of the dark and then they had that whole line of the blood and that's an interesting one can you talk a little bit about that because I forgot no that was the poem that was written down that's the one got given from Bale Damon and he had that in his in his bag and that's the one that Alana and Ivan found while Len was meditating

53:30 So bringing a full circle yeah bringing a full circle on that storyline and it's a crazy moment where he's like okay I've got no way of getting out of here live I found it very interesting that Alana picked up on the fact that he was trying to figure out where the seat was by asking a question and she's like why do you need to know this like what are you planning to do and he ends up letting it out it's about Moraine it's about the dragon and this is where things start heating up very quickly with yeah the storyline yeah basically he'd been a good rewarder and kept stem for all this time and then he got to the point where he realized if I don't tell them now I'm not walking away from here without being labeled a dark friend and he's like I've been fighting the dark one like it's a huge insult for land and for any fan of land to ever think that he is a dark friend because his country has you know his people were run over by the dark friends but by the by the dark years ago like he's like the last of the line of the malkia so his one goal and the reason why he became a water was to fight against you know the dark one and Dark Prince so

54:50 The fact that they've threatened to say that he is just a huge insult to his name really and anyone yeah that was that threw everybody that's a huge fan of the books quite a lot because they would never like should never have even suspected it but they obviously needed that was the only way they were going to get the information out of him yeah and it's because the story is so different at the moment and somewhere like somewhere you need to speed up the story and I think what happened here is it allowed for that to happen because we do see them going to how do you pronounce it I don't know it's how I said anyway the seat demarin season yeah she that whole scene with her and the horse rides up and then the blades the power the crown of Swords or blades that pop up and then they just turn with oh that was cool that was cool that's a really creative way of using the one power and I just love that they do those little things like she could have done one but she's done this whole Crown to make it look more Regal and look more authoritative and I have that power and basically land is like it's about more rain and then it cuts well she knew she knew as soon as she saw land she was like you're here where's Moraine what's going on so she immediately you could see a

56:10 Whole demeanor change she knew something was up for land to be there without Moraine and the way that the show did it we haven't spoken a lot about Moraine I'll be honest with you what's the least appealing storyline it was a it was a weakness of this episode for me was moraine's storyline because I feel like they're flogging a dead horse with her being the bad sister that's never been there she didn't come back when her dad passed away what would have been so important yada yaddy yeah they've just they've just beaten that storyline to death right now and it's just not one that was that entertaining or interesting to me but one that was interesting and one part of that storyline that was interesting was the fact that she kept struggling to write this letter to Swan or Sean I'm probably butchering it and she couldn't she tried a few times over to say I've been stalled or something's happened to me and to get the information out there and then for land to beat her to the punch was quite interesting because she's already at the Village by the time that this letter is written and she goes down to her nephew to go and make amends where her sister comes in and says she's here with 14 hours to die and she's requesting that we talk right now you know which is a serious person audience with you tell him you don't want to try a bathana sandwich you know with the with the butter on both for friends come

57:30 On man it's like what is up with that song I just thought it was random I was like and then she comes back like I did like that she said he's gonna make a nice like the whole the whole bit about being a good King and stuff I think that may pay dividends later on their reaction all that little interaction there but I don't think the whole fact that he can make a good sandwich is really gonna pay off do anything important but he was going to make he did make one for Rand but couldn't find him so that was nicer then no interesting around the 14 I said I turning up rocking up and also they see the key players that are there we've got the liandran conversation Landrum we had deer in there as well and so we'll see what happens there was a mod to the last time that they had 14 us to die was to put a new King on the sun Throne yeah which was interesting so that was a different amaran seed it wasn't her because she said maybe this amaran seat would you know be different or judge the situation differently or something like that was an interesting line that I don't have the back story on it but it makes it sound like this doesn't happen very often it's been a very long time yeah no definitely and just the whole I so in Sanchez looks

58:50 So Royal and Regal didn't she just rocking up yeah like just there she plays the wrong well we're talking about characters and set and costume the costume for her is just on point or the two times we see her and you just get that vision of authority and power from everything that she does on screen which is really important because we have not to be fair we've not seen her much we haven't this is you know this episode is the first time I've seen her in this show and the season and you automatically get that understanding of power and presence and Authority just and that's yeah fantastic acting and also just the costume and set design be curious to see what they do with the 14 isotope I wanted to come into Rama I wanted to talk about Rima because this was this was another one where if you emotionally struggled with the aguin part of the episode I think emotionally this was quite a heavy scene at the end of this episode but we'll try and start off with where the whole episode started with herself and with her water Elena they have a collar which this we basically find out how the blue asadai sitter

1:00:10 Was captured they were all sent there on a mission to figure out what this new threat is to those to die to the White Tower they severely underestimated the sunshine and their capabilities and a few of them three of them were in battle two died one of them was caught which is the blue I said I sitter that we'd later on realize is next to a Gwen in the kennels which is what they call it and you know having that battle they found or they managed to get a collar from that battle so that is the thing that they've got and this is now the key to trying to find a Gwen and to set a phrase to understand how can you unlock it so throughout this whole episode they try and figure that out there's a lot of focus on their neaf and the fact that she struggles to control the one power she doesn't have subtlety she can either blast or she doesn't have it and there's a lot of talk about the fact that if you use too much of your power then the Demonic and sins that there is a channel in the region which is that they're trying to prevent that with you know the conclusion being here well prior to the conclusion this great dialogue and I think I'd love to hear your thoughts on this as well this great dialogue between Elaine and naive because naive doesn't know who the hell Elaine is Elena's only had time with a Gwen up until this point and she's like what are you doing here go back to the White Tower this is not your fight you know why are you still here

1:01:30 And she's like well she's my friend and she's like the only friend I've ever had and you could see as the episode progressed that Elaine is creeping her way into naive's heart and that they're slowly but shortly no yeah I'd actually not really registered that they'd not spent a lot of time together up until this point like at all no to be like why are you putting yourself through this you know Queen to be and that is you know why are you risking lives for someone you barely know and that would but I find that interesting for naive to put that out there because I feel like she'd be someone would do that anyway just for the right of good and you know she was quite prepared to jump out there and help Rimer also and it was Elaine that stopped her and she hardly knows her too so I don't know but there that whole relationship between the two is definitely blossoming which is cool and it's they're a good chalk and cheese type thing for a lot of things you know someone who's been a wisdom who was in charge of a town but had nothing compared to a queen to be who has everything and will be in charge as well so they're both coming through that authoritative state but from completely different worlds

1:02:52 Which is interesting and it's weird it's weird the way I'm picking out the characters right now is that nanif is a lot more called to Outsiders but she's warm to the people that she knows where Elaine who could very easily be the same seems to be a lot more compassionate and caring like really it's there's a there's a real difference between the ways that they approach problems if that makes sense which I really enjoyed yeah no I definitely am enjoying that and then Elaine's not taking offense to any of this like imagine like somebody else like you know being this brutal with you in this situation and she could have easily been like sort off you don't know me you don't know where I'm from and what I'm about but she's like trying to become friends with an EPA and trying to understand her could have really caused easily more drama you know but it didn't and what's the scripture if this was two real girls in the real world like you know I had a sister she told me all the stories it would never have gone down that way oh yeah and you spend a lot of time watching our reality TV which is always all about Buddy blaming on someone else isn't it yeah 100 so it's refreshing yeah so adult s handling a situation appropriate yeah no and the fact that they also told and you saw how shaken both Rima and her water bassan

1:04:12 Was at the at the liandran drop yes and finding out that there's the black Archer there like the Three Oaks was broken the three O's are broken visibly frightened and was like okay we've got to get out you know everyone's in danger just from the Android because she'll know if there's one there's more you know if there's one you know if there's enough if she's dropped by you know how many others are there and I really like now there was also a mention to a I've got a note written down here to a boat captain and saying that we love a good Tavern potential link with the Wheel of Time the boat captain may be someone we've already met don't know maybe the first episode but maybe yeah so yeah just put it out there it's let's have Robert Jordan writes that person might that person might still come into play when they finally escape this town towards the end and may still be waiting for them but I found it really interesting that you know at the point where she was okay this news needs to get back to the White Tower you girls go will handle aguin and they both sort of came together at this point as well by saying listen you've underestimated our wool and bomb

1:05:32 To agree we're not going anywhere which was really cool and then obviously with rumor realizing that no this is not going to happen so we're gonna have to work together to unlock this collar but then throughout this they come to the realization because naneve do use a little bit too much power which obviously is going to give their situation away but they come to the realization that it's broken it has to be put on someone to be repaired yield to be healed which is kind of weird because yeah that's interesting it's very interesting I thought that too it's like what is it I wrote it down Colin needs to be healed only wave it will be complete and it can't be broken which I thought was really interesting yeah because like how do you get how do you get a grain free if it can't be broken like that's what's going on in my mind obviously without knowing what's to come in these future episodes but again naive in this moment looks at Rima she's like I'm so sorry you know I messed up and then I really love this character so I hope that this character survives and comes out of this but I don't have high hopes for how this whole episode ended but she is in that moment she is still even though she knows what's coming she is still trying to have naive calm down and she's still

1:06:52 Motherly in that situation and saying don't worry about it's okay take these Rings take my ring make sure to take it to the flags promise me you'll get the assadai that have been captured and she calls her a sister she basically sees her as an equal which I thought all of this was very symbolic and naive just realizing the amount of weight that's being put on her shoulders and saying you know you can't do this you can't put this weight on me and she's like I've got no one else you are that person now you're gonna have to step up moving forward you are yeah sister she called her sister and that had a huge impact you could see there on my neighbor as well so we'll see how that's changes her story arc a little bit or sort of helps her grow that then she goes out to do battle brutal scene of the episode I mean just really I mean there's a lot of brutal there was a lot of brutal stuff that happened this episode it was it was a lot of pain it was a lot of pain but just seeing how she was bending Limbs and breaking people and then what I found so and again this just shows you like it's almost for them to get collared is like dying and she realizes it she like Gwen didn't realize what she was getting herself into at all when it happened but rima's going into this thing with her eyes open which I feel like is almost worse

1:08:12 And she's like begging her water to kill her before being captured and before he can do that he gets taken out it was just brutal it was just so much brutality seeing the pain in her eyes when she gets colored like it I just had all the feels for it man yeah and watching the soldam was like basically fold up one of them gets basically this like it's interesting because she's a yellow of the yellow Azure which is hillers right she's a Healer so she knows they know everything about the body so they she's reverse healing thing she's breaking bones she's you know she's melting skin so she's creating lesions on the skin like she's she knows the body inside and out she will have spent time you know years and years delving into people's bodies to heal them and putting things back together and here she is basically breaking it apart like that was just Savage but I was watching that did you notice something there did you notice something there she was not attacking the Damani at all she doesn't she didn't have the money she was going after the soul done yes but remember what's that line that the blue sitter keeps saying next door to a guine I can't remember the line but you don't remember us oh my Lord I've written it down I've written it down it says

1:09:32 Whatever hurts the soul Dame fills the Dharma damane feel twice over wow she probably doesn't realize that no so she's working really hard not to attack the demand and I just she's just attacking the sold arm oh I'm not feeling that twice over so I was watching that and going those she's like she was she was not attacking the demani one little bit but every fear every hurt that the soul Dame fills the demanding feels twice over brutal so these poor girls are getting their bones Netflix like matchsticks and that was yeah like toothpicks and that was what I was thinking I was like those poor she's trying her best not to put those girls through harm knowing that Collard but that feeling twice as much because of the way the collar works yeah because you would have you what you would think of that but no I was like it's one of those moments it's one of those moments where I'm like I'm figuring it out I can see what's happening and then there's like another level to it and I didn't realize that's what she was saying I thought it was just her being like rambling about the whole thing and then she's now and Rena says it at the start as well like you know you try and punch me whatever food I feel you feel double so those people those poor girls were getting twice the pain and she

1:10:53 But Roma was trying her best not to not to attack them you know she was unwittingly torturing those girls even more yeah that was yeah right and then she would wanted to you know she's trying to get her water to kill herself a killer and call it all the same brutal episode I think you said in the beginning 10 out of 10 for the episode I don't know exactly where I would rate it I'd probably give it a solid eight and a half nine out of ten personally I think there's always room for improvement oh yeah I really love this episode and it I feel like every time I come into the podcast with you as well I'm saying that over and over which is a good sign like every episode seems to be building on the previous episode well that's it and that's where I'm just like what are they going to do they've got two episodes two episodes at the end of this season are we going to get a 90 minute episode a are we going to get like it's really interesting that you would have noticed from season one to now they've actually changed the startup video like the start opening of the of the show I normally skipped the intro I don't normally yeah I actually quite liked it the old one and I when I first saw it the different one in this season

1:12:13 I'm like ah they've got rid of that okay but the reasoning behind it is they've been given so many episodes that they're allowed to use they were trying to maximize the amount of time they've got so they went do you need two and a half minutes of this or do you just want a quick little Wheel of Time and we get straight into this story and that's what they've done this season so I really appreciate it that's a problem and the episodes have been you know just a little bit longer than an hour or two like you know and this is what people need to realize and appreciate that there are some severe constraints put on to these traders to tell a massive story and even the best episodes even the pace that they're moving at and not knowing much about the books like I said I am literally gonna start reading this bad boy when this season's done I've heard that there are some things being taken out from book five and book three and there's different things coming in and that the timeline's a little bit all over the place that kind of makes me wonder if they even have 12 or 14 Seasons however many books there is they probably have less than that they're probably thinking well we're guaranteed to probably get to like six or eight seasons but we need to get more things done within a short period of time yeah I'm not familiar with Prime and how the TV series Runs run I'm just pleased they're not on Netflix because they generally

1:13:33 Don't get past season three we need to continue to Rave about the shot is really bad I don't think it's a bad show again I am coming from a differently from a different angle but I'm enjoying it as a casual viewer coming into this as well yeah there's one scene we didn't talk about and this is where we're sort of going to conclude this whole podcast as well and that is the ending sort of or towards the ending of this episode where Lan meets up with Rand and Rand is happy to see him but then Lance says hey you know you're gonna have to come with me pretty much and you're not leaving this place so we now know that if you watch the little next on bit at the end which I quickly did tonight before we jumped on because I knew you probably would have watched it that Rand is going to end up at the White Tower in front of the imelan seat and there's probably oh I don't know if it's the white tile but it looked like he's in front of her at least and that she now is gonna either prepare room for something or construct constrain them like I don't know what that storyline is going to lead to but Rand isn't going to just be able to freely walk into a situation where you can go and rescue a Gwen at this moment it really is up to naive Annie Lane to do that because his journey has taken a bit of a detour yes and he and that's where we're not sure what's going to happen between now and the end of the

1:14:54 We've got two episodes to go you know when are they getting defiled yeah when's he getting the farm we don't want you know we want him in the farm we need we need a grain being freed or Breaking Free or and loyal and that you know we need something happening there's a there's the story is sort of Apex into there but now we're in episode seven and we've got this stop we've got this we've got this red light going on in caravan that we've got to deal with first so it is a bit of a detour and whether or not it's going to be a long episode long detour or if it's just going to be a quick 10 minutes of the start and then he does something and we don't know I'm looking forward to seeing what happens I really liked there's a net clip that you saw where a land is obviously trying to get what I ran sword and he does this little spin to get a sword off I thought that looked pretty smooth I'm yeah always curious I was yeah she was it's great it's very well done is what I'm enjoying because if it wasn't we would struggle to talk about it because there wouldn't be little intricacies and little bits and Bobs did you speaking of it before we do finish did you have any viewers reach out with any informational questions or stuff no I don't believe anybody

1:16:14 Reached out with any questions prior to coming into the recording but if there are questions that you have make sure to leave it below in the comment section I read all of it always and if there are any comments that you may made afterwards that I don't know the answers to I'll be sure to forward a thread to wool so he can jump in and also give us thoughts and opinions and answers to certain things if there's anything that stood out that we maybe didn't discuss and you're a book reader not a non-book reader then you don't know sort of what's Happening feel free to ask those questions away and we'll give you answers in a non-spoiler manner both myself will mainly jump in at some point during the live and leave comments if we've got a couple of minutes free but like I said this week we had to do it slightly different because our schedules were a little bit all over the place but we appreciate you jumping in and watching this in fact if you have watched it up until this point please consider subscribing it's the best way to show support I've loved doing this scripted show on the channel it's the first time I've ever done scripted show on the nullify Tech Channel and I've enjoyed doing it with Will so if you guys put likes on this if you comment on this if you subscribe that lets us know that you want to see wool on the channel more frequently in the future and who knows what we might be able to do next or dive into next after the season's over because I know well you've been enjoying talking a little bit about this as well yeah I mean I always enjoy talking about Wheel of Time it's nice to have someone to talk to about it and with

1:17:34 But I'm sure I could be a lot of different topics we could chat about too speaking of that I did get some messages from Andre Lee as well he said he sort of rushed through his notes thinking that we were going to be recording on Friday night so he's seen it through it about Friday so I've just had a quick look through his first lies statements was Chris Paul me some water please we'll pour me some water please that was yeah emotional damage 100 he was pleased to see that naive and Elaine storylines getting some traction brutal episode for the yellow Azure we've actually had two episodes now your last episode in this episode where we've got to know a little bit more about the different arches the brown nausea and the episode before and then the yellow one in this one and we've got to see some strong I should die from those which is really exciting so yeah we Alana being a green we get a little bit from her but she doesn't really scream green if you don't know what you're looking for but you definitely get the I'm yellow I you know which I thought was really interesting and then the other thing from Andrew cities is with only two episodes left are they going to leave season two on a cliffhanger or potentially like a reunion type thing I for

1:18:55 The life of me hope it's not a cliffhanger because I don't really want to wait another year or so I struggle with those sorts of things I just finished the beer and that finished on one like that and I was like no you see this is what I'm saying I know people want me not to skip to fire ahead with the books but I'm like you know if you guys are gonna wait like it's it's probably not going to take me a year to read this right so that's gonna be tough and now that there are like little bits and pieces and from other Seasons like you know I might be tempted by the end of that book to read the next one but it's been a lot of fun talking to you about this latest episode of Wheel of Time you know we'll do this again next week hopefully next week we're live at this stage assume we're live at the normal time that we normally record and if there is anything that pops up that makes it impossible for us to do so we will have to do it in a similar way but you'll definitely get your rule of time content right here on the nullified take channel over the next week but for now thank you so much for watching and we'll catch you guys next time [Music]
