S1 E7 Discussion (Spoilers)

The fight scenes with Rand's heavily pregnant mom were a bit ridiculous but she's obviously a super warrior with magical skills.

I wonder if Matt Cauthon reappears in the last episode. That actor has been recast for season two so the new actor might show up next season. It's odd that he did not go with them in the show since this apparently deviates from the books.

I did like that they revealed the identity of the dragon reborn but I had already looked over wikipedia to figure out most everything.

I could have done without the tender moments between Lan and Wisdom since it slowed down the show a little bit. They're spending way too much time with Fain's whistling/stalking. There needs to be an epic struggle with this guy if he keeps following them.

SPOILERS - The Dark Along the Ways (?)

The pacing of the show is off. Too much time wasted on long "meaningful" looks that serve no purpose other than to be annoying. FFS get on with it !

I always thought Rand would turn out to be the Dragon because after all he was the handsomest boy. His mother was super duper ultra awesome !!! Imagine killing six warriors that were much bigger than she was, in between contractions !! Now that's a woman !!!

I didn't mind Inynavy and Der-Lan and Rand Kruger and Gwendoline having a bit of horizontal time because that's probably what would happen if you thought you were going to die the next day.

This was a better episode because at last things are starting to move forward. But I found that quite a few times I couldn't clearly hear what they were saying. I wonder if it was just me.

Also I was a bit disappointed in Castlevania. Not as visually spectacular as I thought it might be. How much is Amazon paying for each episode ? Maybe they're getting ripped off !

I wonder why the guy who played Matt pulled the plug ?

I agree that the show is a little slow but I don't want the show to rush through the story.

I thought the dragon would be one of the women but I hope the dragon can restore magic for men. It's kind of lame that men go mad from magic.

I have problems understanding Lan sometimes since he speaks in hushed tones. I thought I had problems understanding one of Mat or Perrin since they had British accents.

I don't have any problem with the costumes, visuals or sets. It all looks beautiful to me BUT I don't know much of the lore.

I couldn't find any details on why Mat was recast. I wonder if he wanted out or if the showrunners wanted someone else.

I liked the fight.

Who was the guy that got out of the ways after them? It kinda looked like Matt.

Padan Longtooth Fain

The guy Fain has been following the group and he has been whistling all throughout the show The youtube gurus have spotted him lurking in the background in a bunch of scenes and he usually whistles the same song. That's why I'm saying there needs to be a big showdown with Fain if he's been lurking in the background for so long.

The fight was good but I just thought it was too much of a girl power moment.

Tigertrain Maneater died too quickly after giving birth. She didn't even give Rand some of her Uber milk !

Well, at least the fight was based on skill, speed and weapons, not on sheer strength and punches so for me didn't looks that ridiculous.
