Ck, TDR Egwene "candidacy" has been a bit contentious, eh? Did you see the intro snippet which says "we don't know if a girl or a boy"? They won't change who it is, but they are going to want to market at this stage to draw in non-readers. For the rest I am happy to see what they do and then decide whether I like it or not. It's possible in this turning they make it clear souls are gendered but might not match the bodies they're born into.
As an aside, I saw two new snippets this morning where Moiraine just says "it's one of you" (Prime seems to release these regionally, they popped up in my notifications this morning but I can't see them anywhere official, the same thing happened with the "Moiraine's Quest" video). Anyway, the quote attributed to Moiraine on the prime official page is: "They're here for the same reason as I am. For you. The Dark One is waking. His whispers are already in the backs of our minds. But there will be one who can stand against him. The Dragon has been born again. And it's one of you.
- MOIRAINE"
Moiraine's official show bio also literally says: "Aes Sedai may never speak that which is not true, but the truth one tells you is not always the truth you may think."
Anyway, there's a bit more of the Aiel fighting in one of the new clips, and a tiny bit more of what I assume is the Tar Valon set (looks amazing). Moiraine's line at the end is chilling, and absolutely spot on! The other clip I saw features Nynaeve, and it's awesome, I'm really looking forward to her character on screen.
Also, for anyone interested, the soundtrack comes out on 12th. They've released another two tracks, they're on youtube. There will be four albums after that, corresponding with episode releases I think.
