WOT on Prime

re: the music, I think Lost Love might be a Lan/Nyn song. Specifically his conflict over her. The only other word I could pick out in the first line sounds like cuebiyar, which is heart. So I wonder if the first line is something about his heart belonging to the blade (or that kinda thing, not sure why they would have specifically used ashandarei but maybe it fit better than alternative words). Since the tracks are operas my best guess is it's the scene Lan tells her he will hate the man she chooses because it's not him, but no woman should marry knowing she will become a widow.

I agree, they won't mix or dilute the stories of the main guys (or at least I'd be very surprised if they did).

Actually, that's another reason to use Egwene -- if the DR must be a channeler, which is implied, then the other boys will rule themselves out at some point. So if they do want to extend the mystery of who the DR is then Egwene is the only way to do it.

Next week will be a long week avoiding spoilers :/

edit to add: I've seen discussion that it might just be "the one power" with no distinction between male and female halves. I can't recall if they've used saidin and saidar in marketing or talking about the show. I'm not sure how they would explain the "corruption" in that case though.

Another edit, haha: Okay, I just checked the page on Amazon, and the entry about the breaking just says the Dark One tainted the One Power, driving all male Aes Sedai mad (and it does use the term tainted, not corrupted). So I guess they could leave it as that and never really explain further.
