WoT Spoilers

Introducing long-time Discord friend of the podcast, OBThunder aka Ken, who is apparently also Perrin! We compare the pain of losing RJ to the Bleakness, and The Feast of Lights to Mardi Grai in the 80s. Aradia and Ken both have the same problem with keeping Dashiva and Narishma apart, but agree that Rand retires to become another Herid Fel. Sevanna initiates a false flag operation, making Dumai’s Wells inevitable in only two more chapters.

Many, many, many, weaves of the Power are present in this chapter. Megan provides hilarious commentary on (and in) Texan accents. Mat and Olver bet on horses, the Aes Sedai wear the wrong clothes to go on a day trip to the slums, and a red-belted woman makes a brief appearance. Egwene starts to flex her strategic abilities even as she struggles with self-doubt. Lan arrives at Myrelle, despite going on a bear hunt to get there.

Longtime friend of the podcast Abigail joins us to talk about a chapter that has deep and disturbing significance for both her and Rand. We ponder if Demandred was ever actually interested in Illenya, how much the Tower embassy was set up to fail from the start, and what must be going on in the minds of Bain and Chiad. We also discuss mental illness, trauma, the complicated definitions of “recovery,” and go through an intensive empathy session with respect to The Box.

Bambi comes back and stands in for a missing Aradia. We untangle the convoluted timeline between Perrin and Rand, consider Min’s position with the Wise Ones, and debate viewings associated with them. Rand visits the school in Cairhien for his last meeting with Fel, who is then inspired to write the infamous bookmark. Tensions between Perrin, Faile, and Berelain lead to the beginning of Min’s self-education.

Brett from The Wheel Weaves podcast returns! We discuss tea tangents, humor with horses, Verin as a “yes man,” the weaknesses of the Mirror of Mists, and what a combination of Downton Abbey and The Witcher would look like.

The Supergirls arrive in Ebou Dar, meet Tylin Quintara Mitsobar by the Grace of the Light Queen of Altara, and make several incorrect assumptions. Aes Sedai name soup in the category of M. Positive feedback loops are usually negative. Time is not a wheel, it is a puddle.

Megan returns! This episode is dedicated to her brother Matt for this Mat chapter, because sibling love. Seattle Anne… ahem, sorry, let me check my notes…. Setalle Anan appears for the first time. We think that MalkierTalks on Youtube needs to tackle a recipe for “potted larks.” Elayne is basically Alexis Rose from Schitt’s Creek.

Part 1: Aradia and Morgan sympathize with the anxiety of Perrin meeting his in-laws, and Seth joins in to discuss relationships with age gaps. We also imagine Fourth Age nations and their potential. Faile doesn’t want to be Queen of Saldaea. Part 2: Morgan and Seth wrapping up the chapter the next day. Demira has an encounter with far-reaching consequences, and even Verin can occasionally be surprised by circumstances. Part 3: The three podcasters discuss the podcasting process in the aftershow, and let you know how the WOTS Patreon has been updated.

Discord Dad joins us! Aradia is offended by the excellent design of octopus eyeballs; a mantis shrimp would be an excellent superhero. We debate the uses of the warder bond in the Last Battle, consider Julin’s toh, and snicker at how much Mat trusts himself.
