Quick Reactions and Observations

(beware of spoilers!):

  • First shot: Rhuidean. Yes!
  • First line: “The world is changing.” Sounds like Siuan at first, but is it?
  • Hall with three huge statues looks to be from the Age of Legends
  • Rand with longer red hair is likely a Da’shain Aiel from his journey through the glass columns. Jonai, perhaps?
  • Liandrin with the veil. Likely in Tanchico? Notice Nyomi in the background!
  • What’s Elayne doing with the crown?
  • Liandrin as Amyrlin Seat talking to Lanfear?
  • Moiraine with the “crystal ball sa’angreal” (this needs to be a WOT Idol song)
  • Egwene’s Accepted test! She’s with Siuan, Leane, and one other. Could it be Alviarin (likely actor Clare-Hope Ashitey)
  • We see boots. And GLASS COLUMNS!
  • Egwene and Rand lying down on the floor. Waking world or Tal’aran’rhiod?
  • Lan and Rand sword training! Lan and Rand sword training!
  • Rand walking towards what seems to be thousands upon thousands of Aiel.
  • Rand and Moiraine in the text talking to Wise Ones. The one to the right is likely actor Nu.kaaka Coster-Waldau
  • Avendesora!
  • Rand walking through the glass columns! One step forward. And back!
  • Lanfear choking Moiraine in bed is… different?
  • Rand fighting bubble of evil mirror Rands!!!!
  • Rand with a man in black (and back to the camera) and… tattoos on his arms! Couladin!
  • 8 seats in what looks to be Alcair Dal. 8 Aiel clans!
  • Shirtless Galad. We get a staff fight!
  • The forging of an ax!
  • Mat’s neck: cuts from playing cards, or bruises from a hanging?
  • Perrin and Faile!
  • Rand as Janduin cradling Shaiel 🙁
  • This is some shot of the EF5 crew + Elayne in the Ways with Lanfear and Moghedien, tormenting Moiraine
  • Last shot: Rand likely carrying Moiraine back from Rhuidean
