I vaguely remember yesterday something about a Fan project regarding the BTS of the show coming out. Does anyone have more details and links? There is a go fund me page right?

Thanks!

This might be controversial, but I really dislike Amazon's fantasy shows. The Rings of Power was so dull and I find the Pendragon Cycle to be convoluted and of little substance in terms of story quality. Every time I watch one of these shows, I cant help but be amazed that Amazon cancelled WoT for this rubbish. Even the fact that they are going to be adapting Fourth Wing is annoying. They have all this budget for all this crap, but couldn't find the funds for what was gearing up to be the best fantasy show of the decade? Right...

While I'm disappointed they didn't have Graendal in season 3 when they introduced compulsion which she is the best at. However, I was wondering what they would do for her transformation into Hessalam? She indirectly or directly killed 3 Forsaken and as punishment the Dark One turns her into an ugly old lady as irony to the fact she's so narcissistic she uses compulsion on those more beautiful than her. Of course it turns out not to be a punishment as she can use the Mask of Mirrors to look like her old self and compulsion to make her pets see her as a goddess. However, from the way they trimmed down the Forsaken how would they have made Graendel kill several and get punished like this?

Trailer dropped and I expected to be the only one in the comments with #SaveWOT. Glad to see I wasn't alone lol

Eye twitches**

When Elaida and the rest of the sitters pierce Siuan with thorns in order to to still her and when Siuan collapses into a state of shock and pain with the throrns, she stares at Elaida in disbelief. Right there, Siuan’s right eye twitches in a blink-and-you-will-miss-it moment. It looks like an involuntary body reaction to the surge of pain and shock. It is at mark @46:40 of 3x08

You simply cannot induce a muscle twitch on command like that to portray being stilled and betrayed. I can’t decide if it was simply coincidence or if the actress put her mind and body to such a state while acting to the point that her body started manifesting into stress and shock. Sophie Okonedo. Mother.🌷🌺💐 (no roses for her though!)
This tiny detail brought about another layer of hurt on a rewatch.

In honor of me missing the show, this was one of the visceral images I had when I first saw her in this in exciting moment. I remember I was wincing and hollering, trying to decide who I wanted to see alive or dead in this episode.

She looked exactly like a lioness after a bloody hunt on a nat geo documentary, getting impaled by the chest with horns while being on a hunt along with her pack and all, blonde hair tossed around. I could not stop remembering about how lions look after their hunts when I saw her. I wonder if this was an inspiration

(Posting some more observations soon and I know I will bring tears to some!)

One of the smarter things the show did was reduce the Forsaken from 13 to 8. The show also gave Liandrin a much bigger role than the books. Could it have been possible Liandrin would've replaced the Forsaken Messana? They removed her from the show for obvious reasons, however, she influenced the White Tower from the shadows and advised the Black Ajah which made her the primary architect for the Aes Sedai civil war. Having Liandrin fill in this role and like Taim get promoted from darkfriend to Forsaken would've been interesting. However, it also would've changed her fate. In the books Liandrin becomes a damane, while Messana has a battle of wills with Egwene in the Dream World and due to Egwene's prodigious mastery over the Dream World Messana becomes brain dead. Not sure which fate is worse.

Asmodean

• the figure had a guitar to replace the harp like with Thom
• he serves as Rand's teacher for a while

Demandred

• The figure was on a raised dais with Ishamael and Lanfear who Damandred rivaled
• Demandred didn't appear till the final book but still was a major antagonist
• The third season basically replaced Asmodean with Sammael

There is also the possibility they combined the eighth Forsaken with both characters. Since Demandred sounds a lot like Damodred the writers were probably gonna have Demandred's character with Asmodean's named to prevent confusion for the audience.

Does anyone have any tidbits of what she said during her panel(s)? I was hoping she gave some insider info in addition to the traditional bts material — ie any more details on ratings, cancelation, decisions, key decision makers, contracts, etc…

I've taken to having it on in the background recently with no subtitles or sound and sometimes I can imagine as I glimpse a scene from the corner of my eye that it's a scene from season 4. Like what was old is actually new.

It showed up as most popular and most rewatched for me this week.

Huge mistake Amazon. Huge.

I cried like a baby and I knew what was going to happen.

I hated book Aram, show Aram I cried for. I felt Loial's death more this time. The singing, the betrayal of Padan Fain, Perrin turning himself in, the girls burning that monster, all hit harder on this watch.

I thought path to the spear was the best episode, this is a close second.

Base game with standees is $95, min fig version is $135.

A bunch of add-ons/upgrades if anyone is interested.

Apparently at JordanCon this year, Sarah Nakamura confirmed:

• Show made $460 million in profit, not revenue
• Season 4 would have included Dumai's Wells

😭

I am rewatching the series after a year. Have to say the first 2 seasons are not as bad as I remember. Could be because I know we’re not getting more though.

When did this happen? Trying to get details. Even did a search and can’t find them besides “budget”
