Amazing finale, I really hope they do no cancel now that they have really found their stride. Its been a really good season.

Spoiler: show

Glad they seem to be cutting down on a lot of the Aes Sedai Tower stuff. Also, I don’t remember if it was this way in the books, but man, did the show really make Siuan seem ineffective, not very smart, and easily manipulated.

Mat getting amnesia was a weird choice. And the whole Tanchico plot ended rather abruptly with no resolution. The group just gave up looking for the collar off screen and went home? I can also see what happened with the balefire being confusing to non-book readers

Mind explaining that? it was def confusing even though I think I can figure out what it does from the scene.

Balefire?

Spoiler: show

they mentioned it removes a person from the weave. The world of WoT has people constantly reincarnated. You die, the wheel spins your soul’s thread back in and you’re reborn, usually with no memory of your past life though as you’ve seen there are exceptions that come up. Balefire takes that thread that is your soul and removes it from the wheel, not just stopping you from being reincarnated in the future, but it also plucks out your existence from the past. I don’t remember how far the person’s existence is effected, but it will literally undo events done by the person killed by balefire as if they were never done- because the balefire has erased their existence from those moments. So in this episode’s example, since that black Ajah lady was killed with Balefire, she technically never existed to use the balefire to damage the ceiling so the damage was “undone.”

I do like the pacing better than in the books.

Spoiler: show

Siuan being dead doesnt really change anything imortant, except being "unstilled" by nynaeve later on. So, did Rand get trained or not? Guessing there will be look-backs at some point? Also regarding balefire, if its like the book, the more you use, the further back in time the person gets reset iirc

Spoiler: show

Rand is still “untrained” though that seems to matter very little since he can apparently do whatever he needs to when the plot demands it. I’m sure they’ll eventually circle back to Logain as his teacher.

i'd imagine balefire will get explained to the viewers better when it becomes a part of the story, which should be soon. this was just a tease

i'm interested to see if they go backwards to the book 3 plot or move forward to book 5, or some kind of mixture

[Tyrath]

So I am just getting close to the end of the first book. How much of the books does each season cover? Is it 1:1? Do they pull in stuff from future books? Just wondering if I can watch it after reading a few books or if I should hold off until I am further along into the series

[Rhyis.]

season 1 = book 1
season 2 = book 2
season 3 = book 4

they skipped book 3 but they'll probably go back to that story next season

[Takiwaki]

Damn, saw the bump and was hoping for renewal news ; ;

[Tyrath]

season 1 = book 1
season 2 = book 2
season 3 = book 4

Lol I tried the first ep and in the very first monologue they revealed something that was only confirmed at the end of book 1. I'll probably wait till I'm further into the series before I watch this

Damn, saw the bump and was hoping for renewal news ; ;

Sowwy, had questions

[Tyrath]

Show cancelled, sorry. I may be the cause for starting the books ;-;

Fuuuuu

[Qalbert]

gdi

[Krandor]

With the cancellation possibility — and the show’s passionate fanbase — in mind, the Season 3 finale was designed to offer some closure.

Um, lol?

[Rhyis.]

i guess they did add a couple of things from the age of legends that took place in some late books i never even read... certainly wasn't closure tho

[Tyrath]

With the cancellation do you guys think the show is worth watching after I've read more books or nah?

[Rhyis.]

season 1 = book 1
season 2 = book 2
season 3 = book 4

they skipped book 3

do with the above how you will

[Dimmauk]

Where will I get my Natasha O'Keeffe fix? No more Peaky and Wheel?! Damn
