WOT on Prime
#85
In one of the trailers Suian says something like, "in every prophecy the DR will either save the world or *join* the Dark One" to which Moiraine replies she will kill them before she lets that happen. It certainly seems like they'll play up that angle. I wonder if they will tie that into Mat and the dagger, given he will presumably still be a candidate for DR at that point. There is quite a lot of horror in WoT so it'll be cool to see more of that angle in a fantasy show (if that's what they decide to do). Am I right in thinking in the books the Dragon was supposed to save the world AND break it (not "or") which was why he was so feared, or was it just the Aiel who believed the Dragon would save and break them?

I think they've said they have everything mapped, in a vague sense (room for expansion but the core is there). I'm sure I recall that Rafe pitched it as an 8 series thing originally, and it certainly isn't being done as a book per season. Recently execs have spoken about wanting to do 10 seasons -- in an ideal world I'm sure. And there's an unconfirmed rumour that season 3 will be greenlit as actors have had contracts renewed. Even for s2 to have jumped into filming so soon after s1 wrapped up suggests they have a strong plan for going forward.

The first soundtrack album released today! I really like it. Parts of a couple tracks are recognisable from the various teasers (the two I noticed were: the intro of the Winespring Inn clip is from Goldeneyes, and Dragon Reborn is the music from the logo reveal). The Whitecloak theme is actually called In the Light. They all still have Old Tongue names by the way, I just can't remember them yet.

The track called Moiraine Sedai is surprisingly discordant/creepy -- without context, you'd definitely assume it was a villain piece by the intro. I like that it suggests they will set up her up as a questionable mentor character.

I don't have a favourite track yet, but there are several standouts. Bringers of Death would be an amazing experience in spatial audio.

I remember the green man sequence thoroughly confusing me when I read EotW as a kid. Like I had no idea what was going on at all. There are a few little bits that come across as experiments in that book that Jordan subsequently dropped. I don't think it'd suffer from being pruned tbh (love the pun) although I'd love to see what Someshta looked like on screen. The trollocs look great.
