Lover of fantasy and other geeky goodness.
Ok, so maybe Daughter of the Nine Moons? Pretty enough, gorgeous eyes, but not sure she looks young enough, but then again, they have aged up the Emonds Field characters. She is not dark enough. She would really need to be deep African, I would so love to see a real African, darkest of all actors in this role.
I did hope that Karima McAdams was Lanfear, since she was so beautiful in pictures, but Natasha O’Keeffe really did have the authority for the role of Lanfear, and she is beautiful.
McAdams was not as good as Suroth as I would have liked.
This second season has really been much better. A bit too melodramatic, episode four was not good, and Perrin loosing his temper with Elyas?
