That's a good question - but then, there is much less of a long term than in the books.

View original postAlso, Liandrin likes Nynaeve, apparently. Nothing else explains her actions, and nothing in Nynaeve's depiction explains anyone liking her.
True. She doesn't seem all that dedicated as a Darkfriend, does she?
View original postThe thing with Ishamael is how are they going to use this more developed guy? Kill him off early on, as was the case with Baalzamon, which kind of negates a lot of the effort of developing him, or let him hang around impotently, and losing credibility as time goes on and viewers start to realize he isn't really doing anything effective against the good guys. So far the sum total of his actions has been to hasten them on their journey to becoming heroes and play a prank on Moiraine which relies entirely on the good guys never learning something very fundamental about channeling. So fundamental a non-channeler can get it.
Well I don't think they'll do more than six or so seasons - and they'll surely have a bunch fewer Forsaken, so would likely give Ishamael more involvement in things like the Black Tower plot. The way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if they skip the Stone of Tear and Callandor entirely, or almost entirely - having Rand proclaim himself the Dragon Reborn to the world at Falme next episode, then moving to the Waste in season three and covering the key points of books four and five already. So no death for Ishamael, or at most a faked one, no reincarnation needed.

Both the writer of that article and the creatives of the show are idiots.

I mean, it's not like the show is good to people who subscribe to that political message, either.

So this version of Ishamael does have some positives... but his motivation is insomnia? Seriously?

Why would Moiraine and Lan casually follow Lanfear into the Ways?

Because there is only one episode to get to Falme where the climax is scheduled *NM*
