WOT on Prime
#74
I agree with the previous statements about the potential of Egwene being DR. I kind of had an impression that 1) they are including her to help marketing and raising the stakes that the Emond Fielders are the DR; or 2) just because Moiraine says it could only mean that she is unaware of the nuances of rebirth.

I mean, think about it, the studying of souls and being reborn thousands of years later is not something that the Aes Sedai in the Age of Legends could easily study. How do they even know/assume that gendered-souls are always reborn into a matching body? That's a pretty big assumption. The fact that a 3rd Age Aes Sedai is just going off of finding babies that were born within a very specific time range of a few months implies that Moiraine is looking for any baby regardless of gender. We the readers know the "rules" of rebirth, but how do 3rd Age Aes Sedai know the same rules? Aka< unreliable narrator comes in to play.

Regardless, I'm not too bothered by the idea. Rand is clearly still the dragon reborn. It also raises the stakes that we won't learn which of the Emond Fielders is the DR until something happens to definitely state that the channeler of a certain age (Egwene vs Rand) is in fact the DR will be revealed at the Eye of the World. The finding of the Dragon Banner, the response to the Eye/untainted Saidin/ and the reaction of the Forsaken to Rand. it raises the stakes there too. Alternatively, we may not know exactly who the DR is until Rand claims Callandor in the Stone of Tear and starts fulfilling prophecy. Finally, we could definitely find out that the DR is Rand when he battles Ba'alzy in the sky above Tarabon (finale of season 1????). That keeps the non-reader fan in suspense of who is the dragon reborn for the entire first season.

Anyway, I'm done rambling.

Super jealous of the early screening tickets. We have flights that go to Chicago that are fairly reasonable in price, but due to the pandemic, I'm not comfortable with that yet. Although I am taking PTO on Nov 19 to binge watch the first 3 episodes. Did you all know that 3 episodes are dropping on the same day?
