WoT Spoilers

We are joined today by Jaymie from Dragonmount.com to celebrate the return of Lan! We also have a lot of discomfort with Myrelle’s behavior to Lan, which leads us to contemplate the differences between being stilled vs being a lost warder, and to wonder how much touch factors into bonding. Egwene has a very full morning of dealing with Aes Sedai, ending with a Halima-induced headache.

Pairs upon pairs of characters feature in this episode, making it a fitting chapter for Seth and Aradia to take a break from having special guests. The timeline of the story is starting to compress and distort towards “the slog”  here, as the Salidar Aes Sedai approach Tar Valon and the summer grinds on. We see parallels between Aes Sedai pride and Aiel ji’e’toh, both of which serve Egwene very well.

We are joined today by Jay from Randland TV Podcast for a very dreamy episode. We giggle over what an Aiel would say to the suggestion of bathing in ewe’s milk, contemplate the timing of Moghedien’s escape with respect to other events, admire the sci-fi abstractions of the starry space between dreams, and tangent on bagels. We also wonder if we perhaps found a plot hole!?!?!?!

The guest on this episode is none other than Ariel Burgess, the official artist of the series! We talk a lot about her favorite art pieces, our favorite of her art pieces, the lighting considerations of gateways, JordanCon, and the impact of the series on not only our lives but also our careers. Support her on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arielburgess  We critique Aes Sedai political strategies, debate the genetic component of channeling ability, and attempt to wrap our heads around applying Einstein’s “bridge” to gateway mechanics. Egwene is remarkably blase about her safety here, her grip on power is as shaky as her chair, and Nicola and Arenia are a tragic waste of potential.  SpoilerCon: Will be held on October 1-3 in Portland, OR Currently planning an in-person/digital hybrid event Follow on Twitter (@spoilercon) and subscribe to newsletter (bit.ly/SConNews) to get updates Join the conversation on Discord: https://discord.gg/YtWvCnS  Contribute on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wotspoilers  Sign up for SpoilerCon news: http://www.bit.ly/SConNews   Email us: wotspoilers@gmail.com   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/wotspoilers  & https://twitter.com/spoilercon?lang=en  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wot_spoilers/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WOTSpoilers/

We are joined by Brett of The Wheel Weaves yet again, spotting dangers around every corner, and chiding Seth and Aradia for ignorance about The Lonely Island. As Egwene discusses managing the army with Sheriam and Suian, your hosts continue to suspect Chesa of being a darkfriend (or worse) and criticise Sheriam for being lazy in her secret duties. The a’dam bracelet gives Aradia as much grief as it does Marigan, if for different reasons.

Today we are joined by Nae’Blis from YouTube, and we dispense lots of love for Rand and RJ’s writing of Rand. We take many tangents into  anticipating the show’s production, and come to the sobering conclusion that there are no clear paths in leadership, or in life.

Aradia interprets the language of fans, has no idea where the phrase “the pot calling the kettle black” comes from, and is swayed by Seth’s conspiracy theory that Colavere didn’t actually hang herself. We also ask the most important question in the books: can Verin do the sa’sara? SpoilerCon Newsletter dropped on the night of April 14th, check your inboxes!

Recappa Sedai returns for part two-of-three of getting Perrin back to Cairhien and Faile. Some rare irritation at Loial comes up, all knowledge of Winter Dragon is banished, and a record-setting number of tangents keep us off-track.

We are joined by Brian, who plays Recappa Sedai on YouTube, to help us flesh out content over the next few chapters in which Perrin slowly and anxiously returns to Cairhien in the aftermath of Dumai’s Wells. But first, we have to tackle the physics of gateways, with a little help from Carl Sagan. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnURElCzGc0)   Our exasperation with Perrin is counterbalanced by our love for the Wise Ones. Warder-bonding innovations are the equivalents of sushi-burritos. Aram and Loial are the Devil/Angel on Perrin’s shoulders, though Seth enjoys reading Loial far, far more. SpoilerCon announcement: the first newsletter is published!
