[queen-helaena109]

If I could choose another actress for Rhaenys Targaryen or to portray a Baratheon, maybe Jocelyn Baratheon, I would choose Natasha O'Keefe

I mean... look at her 😍

wot s2 casting under the cut

I'm so proud of the wot community for shifting gears so quickly from thirsting after Natasha O'Keefe being potentially cast as Elaida, to thirsting this aggressively after Natasha O'Keefe as Lanfear

[androjello]

I fear I am obsessed with lanfear

One of the (many many) reasons I cannot wait for AMPTP to stop their assholery is that I am dying for an interview where Natasha O'Keefe talks about what it's like to be cast as and portray The Hottest Women In This Age And The Last.

[lordgolden]

Natasha O'Keefe already absolutely EATING this role. I can't wait for tonight I can't wait to see more of Lanfear unleashed and unhinged!!!! the look in her eyes is so perfect

[ofthebrownajah]

[kevin-sedai]

Okay, I'm caught up. Things I liked:

The weaves. I didn't think they were bad last season, but they seem much more organic, and I like that it's half coming from the channeler and half from their surroundings.

Verin

The Seanchan. They look the right amount of alien and intimidating. I love the vibe when the damane show up (I know). They walk onto the field and there's this mystery about them: who are these girls, why do they look like that, etc. And I loved Suroth.

Elayne Trakand. Exactly as I pictured her, Ceara really got this character down. "Oh, you can put those over there, thanks!<3" made me giggle quite a bit lol. And the general Legally Blonde "What like it's hard?" vibe she has is great lol

Natasha O'Keefe is nailing it. Again, exactly as I pictured her, like, Rafe bugged my brain and took my mental image out and found the actress that matched what I saw. Bonus that she is killing it. The "I'm not afraid of you" line was well timed.

Dónal Finn! He's picking up right where Barney left off! Loved when he motioned with his hands to the sound of the door locking and Liandrian walking away. Very Mat Cauthon. And I liked that in Nynaeve's test, he had a gash over his eye. Good foreshadowing! Also, I loved how he looked on a horse with a cape. Just saying.

Rand.

Nynaeve's test. The last arch was a tear jerker. They did so good with it! I liked how they made it go a little longer and dramatic by making her stay there for a little bit. Zoë is doing great!

That's really all I can think of now. But, so far I think they're doing well. It's keeping the spirit of the story, which I care about more. I can't wait for the rest!

Don't you think Tommy and Lizzie's relationship is very forced in S6? - yes, absolutely. I have read - but I can't find the original source, so take with a grain of salt - that Lizzie was supposed to be a one-off character. That she was just supposed to be there in S1, but SK was so impressed/inspired by Natasha O'Keefe that he decided to write Lizzie into later seasons to keep her around.

Personally, I believe it because the Tommy/Lizzie relationship felt forced from S4 to me. But again, grain of salt.

Yes, that is true, I saw SK's interview and he confirm it. I also saw an interview with the actress who said that SK in S3 promised her that she would be there until the end. That's why it's forced, SK had no idea what to do with her, he just left her there. From S1--S4 the only thing she does is stand there, and look at everyone, and tell that she sleeps with Tommy, in S5-S6 she complains about Tommy all the time. With Linda, Ada, with him. That's all. Their relationship makes no sense, there is no good reason why they are together. Especially after being raped because of Tommy, putting her in danger, that's when she becomes obsessed with being with him, to the point of using her own baby. And Tommy from S1-6 has always shown that he doesn't want to be with her, he just uses her.

wot s2 final episode today and I'm so glad that the last episode was bad enough to cure me of illness about episodes 5&6

the way people responded to siuan's treatment with fierce defence (of the show) and insisted that her treatment was canonically accurate was so vile and frankly very annoying. multiple users were manufacturing posts that gained a lot of traction saying it was completely in character for her when no, it really wasn't, and they were ignoring her purpose in the narrative to shoehorn her character into stupid and irrelevant stereotypes about her belief in the aes sedai etc especially when in this half of the series you're playing her off against elaida and the black ajah not egwene. I also think lots of assumptions about how the show is doing Everything Right or Capable of Doing Everything Right is a frankly irritating position to occupy when you're trying to analyse media. I'm not interested in engaging with such commentary or such fandom spaces. every paranoid shoehorning of criticism into bookcloak rhetoric is kind of stupid actually. and maybe it says something that lots of people were also lacking in confidence about the position they occupied on the compulsion scene because they were simultaneously calling it a tragedy and trying to rationalise it by subscribing to the compulsion theory. lol. on the other hand people were complaining about others bestowing harsh criticism on compulsion!siuan and not doing the same for rand and moiraine just because they were working with a forsaken. like. that already canonically happened in the books 👍 L + ratio + moiraine was aware that rand was working with asmodean even if he never admitted it and trusted him to do his best + asmodean and moghedien didn’t go through all of that for you to dismiss them so flippantly.

"trust the showrunners" is also one of those insane pieces of advice that seems to be floating around a lot that mean absolutely nothing to me. I don't "trust" any writer. I didn't even trust RJ to do a lot of things right. I analyse something for the merit that it has and if anything I've been frankly very generous with the show because it's not very good, and I say that because the mere quality of the dialogue is very poor a lot of the time, and not necessarily because I don't think it's a bad adaptation (although so far it's brought nothing to the table that the books haven't and it instead handles a lot of themes a lot worse when it bothers to remember those Themes).

all this to say I've been very quiet about the show these past few days because of some of the absurd arguments on my dash. in fact, a refusal to engage with complex motivations of the characters (especially where characters like galad are concerned) are basically what made me stop posting a lot about the books for a couple months or so, and there's nothing that can kill the enthusiasm to engage with the text harder than to be involved in fandom spaces that can't tolerate nuance or criticism of the show. I don't really intend to wot post often after this, and really I think I lingered so long only because I read the books at a time when I was just really vulnerable and needed the escapism or something but I'm no longer mentally ill and thank god for that. and the beautiful wot mutuals that I have you guys did nothing wrong.

anyway! at least we have lanfear played by natasha o'keefe.
