I think you should re-watch that section. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 25/12/2021 11:03:26 PM

Ishamael is very clearly happy with the result; you can see him smile as he's disintegrated by Rand's banishment. The entire point was to get Rand either to fall to the Dark (which nearly worked, in one of the genuinely more implausible points of the story) or have Rand "defeat" him and break the cuendillar seal. It was a win-win scenario.

It's mediocre at best - 25/12/2021 02:35:31 AM 1286 Views
Little bit of good, some meh, but way too much WTF? - 26/12/2021 03:51:48 AM 952 Views
How dare an important character be, uh... Middle Eastern looking. *NM* - 25/12/2021 04:05:25 AM 468 Views
Not Middle Eastern, but a regular guy you meet on the street - 25/12/2021 12:43:21 PM 978 Views

Good point.....that makes a lot of sense. *NM* - 26/12/2021 03:52:43 AM 488 Views
But how did Rand do it? - 27/12/2021 01:50:48 AM 969 Views

And that's another huge failing of the writing team..... - 27/12/2021 08:42:33 PM 1012 Views
I love the show; it doesn't mean I think it's good. I love Doctor Who too. - 28/12/2021 05:04:55 AM 949 Views
Love. Really? - 28/12/2021 07:27:30 PM 966 Views
It's an adaptation of books I adored, on TV, with special effects. - 29/12/2021 10:23:22 PM 936 Views
Episode 8 was a disaster - 27/12/2021 05:24:33 PM 970 Views
Agreed - E8 was an epic disaster - 27/12/2021 08:49:42 PM 953 Views
Yeah, they covered ta'veren briefly in an early episode. I think Episode 1. *NM* - 28/12/2021 05:05:58 AM 474 Views
Didn't they just name drop it in the first 2 minutes then never really develop it again? *NM* - 28/12/2021 12:38:22 PM 574 Views
Yes, I think this was the case..... - 29/12/2021 03:33:57 AM 934 Views
