So far the casting is great and it seems like all the actors have a solid grasp of the source material. Lan and Moiraine stand out in particular.
I’m only on the second episode so I can’t say much more but from the dialogue and portrayal of the Two Rivers village to the climactic battle scene in the first episode I’m pretty sold so far.
:sicko-yes:
I liked rand a lot as well, my only wondering question is wtf is with wind everywhere?
Also padan fain is pog and dialectically (:zizek-preference: ) mist in the city looked like shit
The wheel of time turns, ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth and even myth is long forgotten when the age that gave it birth comes again.
In this age, called the third age by some, an age long gone, an age yet to come, a wind rose [in/above/around] [location]. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.
That’s how the first chapter of (almost) every wheel of time book starts, with the readers perspective following the path of the wind as a device to set the scene and show a bit of how the world has changed between books.
I haven’t watched the show yet, but if there’s a lot of mysterious/symbolic/significant wind. I’d take it as a reference to that and be very happy.
