So , the pale-ness is correct, described by coloration, at least, as slug/grubby, but otherwise the facial proportions and movement should be more or less human-like. I think they over-played the "grub" look


I always pictured fades as human-like enough that they were able to interact with random people on the streets or at least had no attention drawn to themselves as long as they had their faces hidden with a hood. Which is why Fal Dara doesn't allow anyone to wear a hood within the keep. As not being able to cover the top of their faces is enough to pick them out of a crowd - not having eyes and all. I'm not taking the quick shot of the fade in the trailer as indicative of anything though.

NYCC panel today on the show, it will be livestreamed at 1:30.

You have to watch it live. If you don't and want to watch it later you have to pay for it.

I am assuming the full trailer debuts today. I may be out of pocket most of the day but if I can I will post it on the MTVB

LINK - Dusty Wheel - pregame.

They won't show the actual stream, just will be talking about the stream info.

WoT also putting out an exclusive look, not sure what its all about.

LINK - Exclusive song for the show.

LUVDOC & MFNGimp: Look at the video for the songs because it has a different version of the recently released poster.

Has a fade with its mouth closed, if that is accurate - it looks much more human like with mouth closed and is much closer to how described in the books.

Thanks, SS. The still drawing/pic of the fade shows little, but the mouth is at least human-ish. Shoulda had a nose, though

thoughts on the song? Not exactly john williams or howard shore.

again, may we forever quibble over similar minor points!

Haha you are gonna tear your hair out during the episodes I think - I think lack of a nose on Fade will be far down the list of changes from how things were described in the books.

I don't really know what the song is for, feels almost like waiting room music than actual show score stuff - the trailer song sounded good I thought.

Oh shite - show is WAY darker than in the trailer and photographs released. The darkness is probably somewhat due to the compression being shown on a live stream. But I am glad it will likely be darker than the promotional images we have seen thus far.

Moiraine and Lan entering Winespring Inn!!!

And immediately identifying herself as an aes sedai!

You're right, noses be damned.

That sceen, I am afraid, will be 1 of many that was rewritten unnecessarily and ruined much of the effort made in the first couple of chapters to establish the back-woods innocence of the 2 Rivers

very dark,too

Rosamund competently discussing the books, how channeling is described in the books relative to learning / hand motions, how Jordan writes channeling the power, etc.

Seems like she really dug into the books for the role.

I loved that shot. I really don't care about minor changes like that though.

Rand on Book 11
Nyn and Egwene are "just behind him" - in the slog probably

Final couple castings:

Ceara Coveney confirmed as Elayne

Meera Syal - they didn't say who she is playing, but looks like Verin

Then someone named Natasha O'Keeff - maybe Lanfear?

Saw the clip. Not bad, but was definitely surprised to see such a grand entrance

I guess there will be no stealth or subterfuge at the start.

Only blurred in the first trailer. No full looks.

I’m assuming Natasha Okeefe is Lanfear. She has the look, although not really pretty enough. But no human being is I guess.

No trailer which is pretty surprising.

The clip was ok. I like the look. I like the Rand/Perrin interaction. Being so overt with Moiraine being Aes Sedai and the dramatic entrance. I don’t love that. It’s losing some book essence.

I think it's just a time thing. They probably have about 40 minutes in the episode to set up two rivers aka Edmonds field, womens circle initiation shite likely, the main characters intros, relationships with each other and their families (at least for rand and Tam), I assume some fade creeping around stuff and then moiraine and Lan arive - moraine asking about the main characters, etc. before shite goes down on winternight.

I'm hoping they don't have to cut the farmhousea and scene but I think it probably won't be there, not sure where Fain will come into play, etc. Thom I'm pretty sure won't be introduced for a couple episodes - thinking after Shadar Logoth that he somehow falls in with Rand and Mat in some pit stop town.

I'd imagine they do a little post winternight battle falling action scene in episode 1 and then do getting horses, saying goodbye, rounding people up in like 15 or 20 minutes and then start the getting chased out of Two Rivers area sequences in episode two - I'm guessing they get through Taren Ferry in Episode 2.


I'm thinking this is probably just the best way for them to convey the apprehension and deference for aes sedai in a quick way. I didn't like the angle of the shot on the ring though, looked weird a couple little things that jumped out as a bit odd. I did like seeing Rand and Perrin interacting, felt pretty natural. Liked Nyn jumping up and confronting when they entered and then Moiraine just cruising past ignoring her, liked seems like a lot of those little character hints feel in line with the book vibes.

Ya I'm just starting to realize how much is going to have to be left on the cutting room floor to make this work.

Doing the first couple chapters of EoTW justice would easily take 2 episodes given all the character introductions and world building needed.

First season is going to be very different in a lot of ways.
