So I read an interesting article in reference to the season 2 trailer- specifically Rand speaking to Logain about how to control the power. Obviously this is a big change as Rand and Logain meet later when Rand is in his full Dragon mode.
There was an interesting suggestion that perhaps in this iteration, Logain will be the one to guide Rand to learn the power as opposed to Asmodean. We already know the 13 forsaken are now 8. And the inability to learn the power is a real hurdle to overcome. Since the series (ostensibly) is going to be 8 seasons, it may not be good to wait until later for Rand to learn to control his power. But capturing a forsaken may eat up screen time (as cool.as it would be to actually *see* asmodean teaching rand- something i.gladly would have traded for the ridiculous circus plot line in the fires of heaven).
This may give them a way to.have Rand learn without that added complication.
I don't have problems with this. It is an inversion of Rand and Logains relationship. But frankly, that was weakly done at best as it was primarily in the slog and didn't get any kind of satisfying story beats. This could be far more interesting.
As I said, if they stay true to the characters, to the themes of the series write stories that focus on the people, and use their time wisely, I don't have an issue at all.
Was an interesting idea, anyway.
