Wheel of Time Show Megathread - Episode 4: The Dragon Reborn BOOK SPOILERS THREAD

Some takeaways from the episode:

  • the Taint is shown as a black threads corrupting Logain’s weaves. The voice that whispers to him is is shown as being caused by the Taint.
  • “Stubborn as a mule” shoutout!
  • Hyping up the Amyrlin Seat.
  • Establishing a culture of Aes Sedai scheming, and mistrust among their ranks.
  • Elaida’s very meta comment about the pronunciation of Nyneave’s name lol
  • the beginning of Mat’s ‘madness’
  • The first real Fade attack. Nailed showing its movements the way they’re described in the books.
  • Nyneave is a super Wilder. Possibly the Dragon (the 5th person the dark friend mentioned)
  • Establishing that overdrawing the power can burn the source out of you with Elaida

This was easily the best episode so far. Really loving how the plot is keeping me on my toes, even as a seasoned reader. That Logain breakout scene awesome.
