I've heard men talk about you Two Rivers folk. I've heard the jokes about wooden-headed sheepherders, and then there are men who have actually been downcountry.

Moiraine: We all have our demons.

Moiraine *gesturing to the EF5*: These are mine.

@unreasonablereasoner : #this is why she's aginor's foil

Ok now I am super curious cause I know everyone has a Forsaken foil I just have to figure them out.

Elayne's is Aginor

Nynaeve's is Semirhage

Rand's is Ishamael

Egwene's is Lanfear (Moiraine and Lanfear are also foils)

The only two I'm not sure on are Mat and Perrin. Who are their Forsaken foils?

THE WHEEL OF TIME | 2x08

TV Insider: I’m not going to run any spoilers, but there is a moment at the end at the top of the tower where I swear…absolute chills. I think fans have been waiting for this, and to see Rand and who falls in behind him, it’s like “This is our story now.” Rafe Judkins: We really wanted the audience to connect to those [characters] and their connection to each other. By separating them for the whole season, it could really build to this moment when they finally come together where you’re just like, “All I want is you all together.” And that’s what you have to feel about those five the whole way through the series. So hopefully we got to achieve that in Season 2.

Moiraine: I’m, as you kids say, awake.

Rand: Do you mean woke?

Moiraine: Yes, but it’s grammatically incorrect.

No offense to Moiraine enjoyers but she can't be around long term for the story to progress

[onaperduamedee]

Not to put too fine a point on it but I hope they expand Moiraine's role from the books at the expense of most of the EF5.

Moiraine's role, and Lan's, and Siuan's, and Leane's, and Logains's, and Liandrin's, and many other characters' show-only fans have not met yet.

Now, that wish isn't only driven by a desire to see more of my favourite characters: it's due to the EF5 having sometimes extremely static arcs for entire books. If you distill Perrin, Rand and Egwene's arcs for some of the middle books, some are very much "still in [insert place] dealing with [insert quest]". In some cases, it's even "still preparing to deal with [insert quest]". While it leaves room for in-depth introspection in written form, you cannot do that on TV: it will absolutely drive the general audience away and lose the plot momentum.

You cannot have long voice-overs to show all the intricacies of Egwene's plotting or Rand's guilt; that's one conversation with echoes in other scenes on TV. The lengthy camp's, streets' and palace's description? That's a couple of 10s shots. The same scene described from another character's perspective? That's the exact same scene, but with a close-up to the character's face and perhaps a conversation afterwards. TV is not the same and if the writers strictly adhere to what is in the books for certain main characters, it just won't be compelling.

So, either the writers will invent plots that aren't in the books to fluff up the arcs of the main 5 characters, or you expand on the arcs of secondary and tertiary characters that are happening in the background of the books anyway. That's the same logic that will likely lead to some character mergers and it's paramount to ensure that the story is actually watchable. It won't diminish the main characters' place, it will showcase it.

I am from the "let's watch and find out before panicking" school, but I also have strong opinions on the excessive room some of the main characters get in the books for very little plot.

Also, I am far more concerned about how the writers will handle the place in the narrative of main characters who become afterthoughts for huge chunks of the books, like Nynaeve in the middle section, than I am about the writers making the arcs of secondary characters more explicit, like Moiraine or Lan, but that's just me.

i need the show to use moiraine's ruthless pragmatism in the latest episode to drive home the point that rand truly is her mini-me in the next season
