    I was always taught that the devil can take whatever form they choose. Young, old, male, female. Probably even can appear as a three-headed purple elephant. So I don't see an issue with the Devil taking on a female form. I notice Morpheous also can change the way he chooses to appear

      Great point! I didn't really have an issue with it, but some people seemed really upset about it. As far as I was concerned, as long as the performance was great -- and it was -- it's all good. Doesn't matter if Lucifer is a male, female, or huge red-skinned goat creature.

    I discovered your series only recently, so I am just now catching up. I believe you made the right choice to preview the entire season first and then do a wrap up over all. Only in hindsight do many of the themes, trends, and use of foreshadowing reveal themselves, so it makes for a much more insightful analysis. Thank you and I look forward to more episodes in the future.

    I continue to appreciate your videos. As always, you should cover what you want to cover in whatever manner you wish! As part of your audience who doesn't know any signed language, however, I will express my curiousity for what you think about the show's attempt to bring Maiden handtalk to the screen. RJ isn't Tolkein (not as interested in developing fictional languages), a book seems like a poor medium for communicating a signed language, and I seem to recall that even in universe Maiden handtalk was only said to approach rather than actually be a true signed language. Clearly the show is having to create a lot and the actors are having to develop new capabilities in order to bring this aspect of RJ's world-building to the screen. I found this episode's behind-the-scenes footage on this front interesting. I hope the show continues featuring and expanding upon this element in s3.

    • @thedeafgeek
      @thedeafgeek Před 9 měsíci

      I will likely talk more in-depth about the Maiden handspeak when we learn more about the Aiel and their culture in future seasons. There was already so much to talk about in this episode, I didn't want to bog it down with minor details. But essentially, the "handspeak" clearly isn't an actual sign language and is more gesture-based. And we only got to see brief glimpses of it. I'm hoping it'll be expanded upon next season.

    I don't think the flicker flicker or Mat's memories were replaced with the tea, the portal stone real does link to alternate worlds, and Mat's memories were real memories of past visitors to finnland. But the tea only seemed to show Mat his imagined fears and worries coming true. More like a hallucinogenic drug

    • @thedeafgeek
      @thedeafgeek Před 10 měsíci

      To me, it seemed as if Mat was seeing different versions of himself (mostly negative, probably due to Ishamael's influence), as seen in those alternate worlds. I don't think the show is going to do the portal stones or flickerflickerflicker. There's already an in-universe method for quick transportation -- the Ways -- and the portal stones pretty much disappear from the rest of the books after their appearance in Book #2. Mat's implanted memories don't come into play until later on anyway. Gonna hold off on commenting about that to avoid potential TV spoilers.

  • @athomenotavailable
    @athomenotavailable Před 10 měsíci

    I thought the show set Atuan mill to be very close to Falme already, so the Aiel were close to Atuan mill, Avi got captured by WC, maybe Bain and Chiad left her because they had to look after the injured Jolien, trusting Avi to escape on her own (this is the biggest plothole for me actually, why didn't Bain or Chiad free Avi instead?

    • @thedeafgeek
      @thedeafgeek Před 10 měsíci

      Looking at a map from the books, it seems you're right and that Atuan Mill wasn't all that far from Falme. Like maybe 50 miles or so away. I think what threw me off is that Falme looks like it's in the middle of a massive desert, while Atuan Mill seems like it's in a typical forest. But they're both in the same peninsula. I think Perrin's disappearance from last episode made the distance seem much farther than it was.

    I can tell you how Liandrin lied. She did, in fact, never mentioned Mat. Not even once. So what she says, is technically true. She implies she's talking about the original letters. What she's leaving out is that her read of the letters wasn't faithful (or she probably already removed the mentions before reading them).

    • @thedeafgeek

    So on the arches - i also liked the change. By making it last longer and see people act on it, they made it more impactful. Now i cant speak ASL and I'm not sure how precise the subtitles were here, so I'm not sure if i understand you completely there. So I'd like to point out that the books were even more similar, there she also had to channel herself out and they did think her to be lost (but for minutes, not half a day, and they didnt give up hope nor left the arches).

    • @thedeafgeek
      @thedeafgeek Před 10 měsíci

      That was the primary change I was talking about. I love the books, but Jordan did have the tendency to give a lot of dire warnings that never came to fruition (female channelers burning themselves out being another example, which the show showed -- albeit clumsily -- in Season 1). From my perspective, it's good that the show is showing the audience that channeling can have actual consequences if done improperly, as the books just talked about it but never actually showed it.

    • @csarmii
      @csarmii Před 10 měsíci

      @thedeafgeek yep, that's why I also love what they did with circles in S1E8. You should be able to form circles incorrectly and then mess it up. Which I also think is true in the books. It's just that the AS only do it in one way now, and that is maybe safe, maybe not (AS tend to be sure of things they shouldn't be sure of).

    Actually, Moiraine clashed with Lan around the same lines in books 2-3. Remember chapter 22, when she tells him what she did, then all the time she's trying to exclude him from missions in book 3? I'm trying to be non-spoilery here.

    • @thedeafgeek
      @thedeafgeek Před 10 měsíci

      Granted, I haven't read the books in a few years. I mostly remember Moiraine starting to distance herself from Lan after a certain revelation in Book 4 (also trying to avoid spoilers for those who haven't read the books). I don't remember it being quite this harsh in the books, though.

    • @csarmii
      @csarmii Před 10 měsíci

      @thedeafgeek in book two they visit the sisters, and Moiraine riles Lan up with her talk of whether his bond chafes (due to him having an attachment to a certain person) and tell him flat out what she has already done for his future, without his consent. Afterwards, every time we see them from other PoV's in book 3, we can see them still fighting about it (passive aggressively and with jokes) and we also see her trying to keep him from danger (for instance, Moiraine gods out to scout alone in a city).

  • @csarmii
    @csarmii Před 10 měsíci

    I think they're very intentional about not bringing up what happened to Loial. Or some other covid-affected events. That's not what they intended, so it doesn't exist not really (they got stabbed because they couldnt use extras snd the scene needed tension). Bringing it up is just throwing goid money after bad. Alsi, the six months jump makes sense from a storytelling PoV. And in that context, that would absolutely not the focus of the characters anymore. They rode thousands of miles and had who knows how many adventures.

  • @csarmii

    I liked Verin's introduction. Based on the scene (and how she is introduced), she's shown as someone interesting at least. Her showing up where she is makes sense. We did get the idea that she was an Aes Sedai. I think people will remember her and follow her with some interest. And you know how she would feel about the spotlight being on her.

    In the show's defense, Selene had just pronounced herself as also being a monster and started doing something mystical that Rand could observe (perhaps Lanfear was adding or dropping a Mask of Mirrors - we can see Rand's eyes tracking the warping around Selene because he asks "What's happening?". Rand can see the EFFECTS of OP-female-half channelling, and TP channeling's distortions are also visible in the books). Everything Moiraine says to him consists of very direct statements, and the two had finally bonded in s1e8. I agree it's fast, and Rand would have been in a state of shock, but I don't think it's excessively problematic for the purposes of a tv show.

    • @thedeafgeek
      @thedeafgeek Před 10 měsíci

      I think I'll have to chalk this up to one of the unfortunate artifacts of Amazon's hard-imposed "eight episodes per season" limit. Given two more episodes to work with, I think the writers would've had Rand struggle with the revelation a bit more before ultimately accepting Moiraine's explanation. But when time's at a premium, sometimes you just gotta rush through situations like that.

    Enjoying your videos. Bayle Domon explains in e1 that the poem (dark prophecy) was written in blood on the moondial near Cairhien. (Wording may be open to interpretation, but I believe he also says the writing was found at the same time people discovered the moondial/cuendillar had been broken.) Bayle Domon has a copy of the entirety of the poem - that written parchment copy is what Moiraine buys (e1), Lan takes (e2), and Alanna and her Warders pilfer from Lan's bags (e4).

      That explains how the poem ended up being revealed ... but not how it was created in the first place! Did Ishy write it in blood? If so ... why?

      @@thedeafgeek Ishy seems like a logical suspect since we know he was there and he's pretty dramatic, but perhaps some other darkfriends or a Fade (the latter, RJ explained, was the case in the books). RJ said that this particular dark prophecy was written in blood on the dungeon walls (in The Great Hunt) as a threat, among other reasons.

    That was great, thank you. I watched part of it yesterday but had to come back today when the close captions were available as alas I don't understand sign language. Also am from Australia so I suspect there would be language differences even if i did sign. Very jealous of letter opener Nightblood! :D

      Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. And yeah, AUSLAN (Australian Sign Language) is very different from ASL. I wouldn't be able to understand a video if it was in AUSLAN. The Nightblood letter opener is very cool, and hopefully they'll be up for sale on the Dragonsteel store soon.

    I wish I knew ASL- it makes me proud that the Wheel of Time community is big on accessibility, and tons of creators are trying to turn on CC and add Alt text in all their posts. Good luck, and I hope you get a lot of views.

      Same. I'm wondering where to start on the basis of it. Engaging in something that interests you is always a good way for learning languages.

      Thanks! Part of the reason I started this "Deaf Geek" channel in the first place is because when Game of Thrones was huge and had all of those big-name vlogs dissecting the episodes, very few of them were captioned so I couldn't access them. Things are better now (thanks, CZcams auto-captioning), but I wanted to contribute to the solution instead of just complaining about problems. I'm glad you're enjoying this so far.

      One way to start is to look around your local community and see if ASL classes are offered anywhere. If that isn't possible, Gallaudet University offers a free online course here: gallaudet.edu/asl-connect/

      Seems to me that the youtube cc works just fine and I can follow the episode BTW.
