@kittycannoli72253 жыл бұрын
I think the mostly likely thing is the longing describing how Rand is supposed to ask Dana about his friends. It makes sense to me he would sound longing/desperate when asking and hoping for his friends to have passed through here. One thing that has me pretty curious is that I read this as the boys not knowing Thom at this point. It definitely doesn't have to be this way but it sounds like Dana doesn't realize the boys are with Thom. If they had showed up to the inn with him then I think she would have responded slightly differently. Which I think isn't a bad idea, streamline the start and only have Thom show up after Shadar Logoth. The only issue for me then is when he confronts the mydraal, if it happens in the same episode we meet Thom it wouldn't really make sense. Why would he sacrifice himself for boys he's only known for 50 minutes of screentime

This definitely kicks off a bunch of theories. Is there a relationship? Or, just a nod? Will we see her after this? How long with Thom stay with the boys?

@kinslayermds3 жыл бұрын
Galaxy brain theories. First is that the white bridge incident happens in this episode and that dana meets the Myrddraal in a similar fashion as her counterpart. Second is that this IS when she and Thom meet and the two of them leave each other with some lingering tension so blatant that you'd have to be out of your mind to miss (ie Mat and Rand) to set up Thom and her reunion in a later season. Third is a combination of both previous theories but in such a way as to echo her later participation with the story

Amazing work, of course! As geeky as it gets and I’m here for it. I think you’re probably right about Dana being simply a nod. It wouldn’t surprise me at all that they would cut the character of Dena and also it makes sense to me that they wouldn’t give an Easter egg character the exact same name just something close enough for fans to get. I’m only slightly disappointed that this makes it unlikely that Izuka Hoyle will sing or perform. My first hunch was the filled with longing line is about the song. But Thom is on a break it would seem so maybe that’s wrong. I assume you’ve played with all variations on that though, song, music, guitar, singer, etc, etc though? Another thought was Rand and/or Mat are filled with longing for the smells of food in the inn.

Thanks, Rebecca! I'm hopeful we still see her perform. I like the idea that it is a nod to fans, plus something possibly in the future.

Exactly this. I hope they decided to give her more screen time at the expense of other minor characters. She is important to Thom's arc and the main arc. So, The Compendium of Wheel of Time Characters lists 2782 distinct named characters. I could not find a statistical analysis how many have no dialogue; how many have one liners, etc. It is logical to remove most minor characters for the TV production. However I would guess the following: - Most minor characters will be removed. - Some will appear on screen played by extras (or multiple characters played by single actor/actress) I hope for some of those characters, that are important to the arc or loved by the readers - like Dena, they have decided to give more screen time and book actresses and actors instead of axing the character completely.

I think Dana is going to be the one that gets killed at Whitebridge, instead of Thom being attacked. This is I think a good thing. Thom then is inspired to travel with the boys. He doesn't disappear from the story for a bit and gets more time wiyh Moraine and we see more of the romance between them. One of the weak point in the book was we never saw Thom and Moiraine really become invested in each other. I think in the series we will.

But there would need to be a defining event to cause the split and nothing big enough exists as written by RJ before SL. Right? So Rafe would have to write an event. Why write an event when SL provides the event needed? Unless, by splitting them up earlier and having just Rand and Mat go into SL sets up a much deeper/broader set of events around the dagger, padan fain/mordeth, and Mat’s arc to make Mat “more/richer/deeper” character in EotW. Many in fandom feel that there is not enough of Mat in the books until he is healed of the dagger’s influence. I could see Rafe using something like this to help build up Mat earlier for the series. Rafe might go so far as to heal Mat a lot earlier too. Although keeping him sick and in danger of the corrupting effects would lend to a bigger buildup of tension and cartharsis for the plot in the series.
