Yeah I can see that, just think its a mistake to not have Rand more involved. Not sure it works well if he spends most of season 2 on his own.

Also, we still have gotten pretty much nothing in terms of Rand/Moiraine or Rand/Lan, 2 of the most important relationships in the series.

Yeah I hear ya. I honestly think they could solve for all of it fairly well in time for it to matter.

Basically, merge Falme and Tear’s plots. Rand heads to tear to try and see if he can take Callandor. Meet Selene along the way. Have Rand duel “TDO” for the second time in the sky at tear, win, then take Callandor and declare himself the dragon.

The rest of the cast quasi follows Rand but also hunts the horn at the same time, and Mat blows the horn at the battle that happens at Tear rather than Falme.

Can even bring the Seanchan to Tear rather than Falme.

The only piece I’m not sure about is how you’d handle Egwene, Nynaeve and Elaine spending enough time at the tower to become accepted before they go get involved in all this. Maybe they just have them spend the whole season at the tower and then use the ways or a portal stone or something to get to Tear fast for the showdown.

Post the battle at Tear, they can have downtime at Tear where they do some of the stuff that happens at the beginning of TGH and TDR. Rand can train with Lan and be advised by Moiraine, all before they head to the wastes.
