#moiraine & lan

[esterzach]

I was waiting for this. And that was good! Like really good. Lan ... I was waiting for him to get back on track, because like oy, the writers, what was that about? A whole season of Lan just... existing. And going around aimlessly? Why? Like whyy? Also, he went to the Tower to read about stilling and shielding? When? And how? But mostly when? Also how the hell does he know so much about stuff most of the people around him have no clue ... the other episode they were explaining to him basic things, like he was an idiot, including that there are other ways to communicate than the Bond. You don't say - if only we could speak, write, observe body language... He understands her just fine. But... I feel like, or I explain it to myself, that his respect for her, his resolve to give her freedom, and not to confront her, were in the way here. That conversation should have happened months ago. As in the moment they shake off the shock from The eye, I assume he would have looked around, thought for a day or two, and he would have figured it out. "Huh, so I am not raging, not going to off myself, not going into dumb battles. Interesting. And Moiraine.. well she is quiet, bitchy, but... doesn't look like she is going insane. So something might be... off. What is happening here?"... But no... Instead "Oh, Lan maybe you have to shut up and listen." She doesn't fucking speak!! Listen to what? Her staring and breathing? And he apparently decided to go with it... Come on. He is the one who knows her better than anyone else, why would people tell him what to do and how to help? Also, spilling it to Alanna? That was supposed to be a secret or something. Tiny insignificant detail... My first thought: "Ooooh, she's gonna kill you! I am going to enjoy it!" And I was waiting for this! This exact fight. I knew she was going to lash out. But this time he went "Screw it". I mean come on, what she would do? She has no powers. Let her yell! It's fiiiineee! (It's also fun for me) And his smile there! A small victory. A confirmation. Oh, there she is! Her resentment to the idea that she would even consider that option? The disgust that appears for a second. This woman was ready to die, she had accepted it, but that was when she thought there was a reason and no other choice. Pain is not something she is afraid of. Now the dialogue could have been better, but that was just stating the obvious so maybe there was not much of room for improvement. The thing is, later on with Rand - no. Sorry. When I read these lines in the book, I actually started to cry. So hard it hit, but they were actually spending time together, he was his mentor. Here is just out of nowhere. It's hollow. And to me sounds annoying. As if he had no right to tell Rand what to do. At this point, he is the stranger who only cares about Moiraine. Same shit with Nynaeve last season. They didn't build anything, there was zero chemistry between them, and it all felt just wrong. Also the last scene, Lan guides Rand and tells him how to channel? I am sorry what? That kid pointed a blade toward Moiraine's chest and she was like Oh I trust you! Since when? U nuts? How about no? And was it necessary at this moment? What was the safer way? Rand channeling into the Waygate, or into Moiraine? Lan says "No need". If you think he might fail to open the Waygate, did you think... whattt might happen if he fucks up with the blade, especially with a power he can not control, in the form of a blade towards Moiraine's heart. I thought we agreed not to be stupid? Lan, I love you, but... don't do that again.

The only reason that I was able to say that you're not my equal is that I've known one thing to be true since the day we met. You have always been my better.
