WoT Season 3 - SPOILERS

[Thalia]

Even without Demandred as a Forsaken I could see them merging him into Taim, but imo if they do it’ll only be in the sense of making Taim’s motivations for betraying the Light and being elevated to a new Chosen explicitly out of jealousy of Rand. The same Demmy jealousy but without the AoL life. Since Taim and Demandred probably were the same person up until Jordan refuted it (or *cough* just changed his mind lol) I agree it’d be a nice fan nod. I really like Demandred’s story but to do it justice would be a lot of screen time, and ultimately I’d rather they devote that time to the more central chars and plots. For non-book show fans, Shara would just be completely left field to dump into the LB. It kinda was even in the books.

Could they infer Sammy did Couladin’s dragons now that they’ve shown he was there and allied with the Shaido? If the choedan kal doesn’t exist (or is just the sakarnen, which Moiraine has) then Asmo’s motivations for going to Rhuidean in the first place are gone. No idea how they’ll handle Rand severing Asmo’s connection to the DO though, unless they just don’t address it and have him leveraged by Lanfear somehow. No idea. Or maybe Asmo will try and steal the sakarnen from Moiraine?

I checked, and Lanfear’s words to Moiraine in the dream were: “I’m sending a little surprise. Let him handle it. I know that’s difficult for you.”

That’s what made me think she meant Asmodean. But maybe she just meant Sammy’s attack.
