17 - Wheel of Time 208 What Was Meant To Be
Derek. Chris and John are back to discuss the finale of The Wheel of Time season 2 Episode What Was Meant To Be in spoiler filled detail.
The Wheel of Time Season 2 Episode 8.
Based on the book series The Wheel of Time created by Robert Jordan
Showrunner: Rafe Judkins
Written by: Rafe Judkins and Tim Earle
Directed by: Sanaa Hamri
Spoiler Filled Synopsis
While travelling through The Ways Lanfear throws Moiraine and Lan out a waygate before reaching Falme and uses other methods to transport herself and Rand into the city.
Lanfear alerts Ishamael to Rand's presence, before he feels ready to enact his scheme to bring Rand to the dark. Realising she has betrayed him, Ishamael starts to put in motion plans to counter Lanfear and has Padan Fain deliver Mat the dagger from Shadar Logoth to kill Rand with, but Mat finds a creative solution to taking the blade and escapes his prison.
Meanwhile Falme comes under attack from the Whitecloaks led by Dain Bornhald and his father Geofram in an attempt to eradicate the Seanchan. But encounter Perrin and the Aiel. As Geofram kills Perrin’s companion Hopper, Perrin quickly takes revenge killing the Whitecloaks leader in front of his son Dain. During the chaos, Ingtar, Loial and Masema escape with the Horn of Valere and join the battle alongside Mat, Perrin and the Aiel.
Seeing Egwene captured by the Seanchan, Rand confronts and kills the Seanchan leaderTurak and his men. But after a bombardment of Falme’s Tower disrupts the Damane channellers and their Sul’dam, Egwene manages to break free from Renna killing her, as she realises that she can be collared as she is a low level channeler of the one power
Meanwhile, unable to reach Rand at the Tower with his way blocked by Seanchan, Mat is forced to blow the Horn, summoning the Heroes of the Horn to his side and turning the tide of battle.
Rand, Egwene, Nynaeve, Perrin and Mat reunite and are confronted by Ishamael who has Rand shielded from the One Power and tricks Mat into wounding Rand with the dagger. While Egwene and Perrin protect Rand and Mat from Ishamael, Elayne and Nyneave arrive and Elayne begins to heal Rand’s wound.
On the beach Moiraine realises Lanfear had placed her and Lan in the location to free Rand from the shielding, allowing him to channel the one power and slay Ishamael with his Heron sword. As was prophesied, Rand is proclaimed the Dragon Reborn before the whole city with a fiery dragon bannered across the sky as his friends stand by his side.
After the battle, Lanfear is confronted by Moghedien, another of the Forsaken, and learns all Forsaken have been set free and have set their sights on the Dragon Reborn.

The Wheel of Time Season 2 Episode 6.
Based on the book series The Wheel of Time created by Robert Jordan
Showrunner: Rafe Judkins
Written by: Rammy Park
Directed by: Maja Vrvilo
Spoiler Filled Synopsis
In Tel'aran'rhiod, Lanfear tries to convince Rand to join her by promising to protect him from Ishamael, while Rand asks her to prove that they at least had a connection from the previous months together when Lanfear posed as Selene. Lanfear accepts by showing him that Egwene is imprisoned in Falme, and provided one condition is met: He must abandon Moiraine, otherwise she will kill Moiraine if she ever sees them together again. Rand leaves Moiraine and prepares to leave Cairhein (KAI-REIGN) for Falme to rescue Egwane.
At the same time, Mat and Min arrive in Cairhien, and Rand and Mat meet in the Foregate, catching up on their adventures. Rand tells Mat that Egwene has been captured in Falme and they agree to go off to Falme together. But Min warns Mat that Ishamael intends for him to go to Falme with Rand, where he may try to kill Rand. This causes Mat to avoid leaving with Rand, who starts off to Falme on his own.
Before he can leave Cairhein he is intercepted by Lan, Alanna, and her warders, who tell him they can't let him leave. While at the same time Suian Sanche, the Amyrlin Seat, who arrived in Cairhien with Lan, summons Moiraine for an audience after Lan warns the Amyrlin of Moiraine's actions and the Dragon reborn.
Back in Falme, Renna, a Sul'dam, begins the ritual to break Egwene and make her understand that she is not a woman, not an Aes Sedai only a Damane, a magic user who needs to be leashed and controlled by Renna through the a'dam, a collar used to control Damane. Renna demonstrates begins to slowly ramp up her physical and psychological torture to break her.
Elsewhere in the city of Falme, Nynaeve and Elayne are in hiding with Ryma, an Aes Sedai and her warder Basan. As they pass the hours away confined indoors, they try to understand a stolen a'dam collar to rescue Egwene. But in channeling the One Power, Nynaeve channels too much during their attempts to open the collar, giving their location away to the Seanchan, who come for them. Ryma and her warder fight the Seanchan to protect Elayne and Nynaeve, but Basan is killed and Ryma is captured and collared.

Perrin and Hopper leave Elyas to save his pack - Loial and the Seanchan, but on the way Perrin is directed by Hopper to the town Atuan Mill where they were previously attacked by the Schenchean forces. As he looks to find Uno to bury him he meets an Aiel Aviendha and a man named Dain who warns him off going near the Aiel.
Perrin soon discovers that the town has been reclaimed from the Schenchean by the Whitecloaks led by Dain Bornhald and Eamon Valda. Perrin decides to leave and en route releases Aviendha from her cage, but as they make their escape are surrounded by Whitecloaks led by Dain. In the ensuing fight Aviendha shows her fighting prowess but is forced to spare Bornhald’ life by Perrin. As they make their way to Falme to save Loial, Aviendha pledges to help him rescue the others.
Meanwhile, Lady Suroth is demoted for disobeying the orders of the Seanchan High Commander Turak, but Ishamael gains his favour by delivering him the Horn of Valere, a great weapon that will ensure victory for the Schenchean. As Ishmael and Suroth plot he sends her out to receive his gifts of Nyanaeve, Elayne and Egwene from Liandrin.
It becomes clear that Ishmael intends to use them to gain further favour in the Schenchean court as they are destined to become Demane. As the novices are handed over and Liandrin leaves, Elayne and Nynaeve manage to escape and are rescued from capture by Ryma, an Aes Sedai hiding in Falme. Egwene is leashed and presented to Turak by Suroth, who collars her binding her to a Sul’Dan.
Verin arrives at the White Tower and working with Yassica investigates the disappearance of the three girls, which draws suspicion on Liandrin’s cover story and leads her to evidence for the existence of the Black Ajah at Tar Valon, Aes Sedai sworn to the dark.
Elsewhere, Rand and Moiraine escape Lanfear, fleeing back to Cairhein and are taken in with Anvaere and her son Barthanes, who is delighted to have his Aunty back after 20 years. But, Moirraine’s intention is to put distance between themselves and Lanfear, realising the danger that she has put her family in, until Anavere gives her sister some of Moirraine’s own advice that she once gave her.
Moirraine decides to stay at House Damodred and have Rand enter Tel'aran'rhiod, the realm of dreams, where he might be able to learn what Ishamael is planning. Upon entering, Rand finds himself immediately captured by a waiting Lanfear.

Based on the book series The Wheel of Time created by Robert Jordan
Showrunner: Rafe Lee Judkins
Written by: Dave Hill
Directed by: Thomas Napper
Spoiler Filled Synopsis
Ishamael speaking in the old tongue recites an old prophecy as he uses the One Power to release another of the Forsaken, Lanfear, into the world.
In the White Tower, Nynaeve has been raised as an Accepted following her trial in the Arches. She is traumatised by her experiences in the Arches and her mentor Liandrin offers her insights on how to cope with becoming an Accepted. Liandrin tells Nynaeve of Perrins's capture by the Seanchan close to Falme, which leads to Nynaeve, Egwene, and Elayne sneaking out of the tower to mount a rescue. But Nyneave is taken off guard by the appearance of Liandrin who ambushes them, using the One Power to subdue them.
Meanwhile, Perrin and Elyas look for the Shienarans and Loial, where Perrin is told that he is Wolfbrother by Elyas. As Perrin tries to understand this he bonds with the wolf pack and in particular with one wolf called Hopper befriending Perrin. Elsewhere, as Min and Matt settle down for the night at a Tavern on the road, she discovers that Liandrin’s contact she is meant to meet is Ishamael, one of the Forsaken. He offers to rid her of her visions if she brings Mat to Cairhien.
Moiraine Damodred arrives in Cairhien, where she heads to her family home to meet her little sister, Anvaere. Their relationship is strained and Moiraine focuses on her task at hand as she sets about her investigations to find Lan. She also meets with Logain, and offers to end his life if he first helps her train Rand to use the One Power. Back at her home her sister forces Moiraine to realise that she no longer holds any power over her, and if she wants to know where her ginger headed boy is she will have to ask politely.
Elsewhere, Lan stays with Alanna and her warders, who attempt to help him through losing his bond with Moiraine. Alanna finds a prophecy that reveals that the Forsaken Lanfear has returned to the world.
Meanwhile, Rand and Selene leave Cairhien to travel to Selene’s mountain lodge, where a Fade attacks them. Rand kills it with the One Power, and confesses his love for Selene, who chooses to stay with him despite his ability to channel, and reveals a secret of her own, as she begins to channel.
Before she can do anything, Moiraine arrives and stabs Selene through the heart before cutting her throat. Pleading for Rand to run, she reveals Selene is Lanfear. As they flee, Lanfear starts to recover from her wounds.

12 - The Wheel of Time Season 2 Premiere Episodes
We are back for season 2 of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time season 2 in this podcast we discuss the first three episodes of the season in spoiler filled detail.
The Wheel of Time Season 2 Premiere.
Based on the book series The Wheel of Time created by Robert Jordan
Showrunner: Rafe Lee Judkins
Episode 1 "A Taste of Solitude"
Written by: Amanda Kate Shuman
Directed by: Thomas Napper
Episode 2 "Strangers and Friends"
Written by: Katherine B. McKenna
Directed by: Thomas Napper
Episode 3 "What Might Be"
Written by: John McCutcheon
Directed by: Sanaa Hamri
Spoiler Filled Synopsis
A meeting of Darkfriends occurs, where Ishamael, the Dark Ones strongest servant, decides to observe Rand Al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, instead of killing him.
After the events at the Eye, Moiraine has been living with Adeleas and Verin, her fellow Aes Sedai, gathering information on the coming battle. Moiraine all the time struggles with the loss of the One Power and her bond with her Warder Lan begins to weaken as she increasingly pushes him away. Moiraine leaves to follow up on her plans alone but is attacked and wounded by three Fades, and is only saved by the weave and warder of Verin and Adeleas.
Meanwhile, Rand has gone into hiding in Cairhien, and has developed a relationship with an innkeeper called Selene. Working at a hospice where he looks after a war damaged swordsman called Errol, his true intention to gain access to the False Dragon Logain who is a patient there comes to fruition. After bringing a bottle of wine as a price for the information, Rand asks Logain to teach him how to control the One Power without going mad. But Logain reveals that the Power can't be controlled.
Believing Rand Al’Thor to be dead, Egwene and Nynaeve have started their Aes Sedai training as Novices at the White Tower. Egwene is determined to succeed but frustrated by the lack of praise, and has become jealous of Nyneave who is praised as one of the most powerful Aes Sedai to have ever entered the Tower. As Egwene's friendship with Nynaeve becomes strained, she befriends Elayne Trakand, the daughter-heir of Andor who has come to study at the White Tower.
However, Nynaeve struggles to Channel the One Power, except when angry or afraid. The Red Ajah, Liandrin, wants to train Nynaeve, despite her past history with Novices, and pushes for Nynaeve to undergo the testing and become an Accepted, which would allow her to train Nynaeve.
In the depths of the White Tower, Mat has been imprisoned in the Tower by Liandrin at Moiraine's request. As he tries to escape his cell he chisels through to another cell instead meeting Min who he befriends. Min, who has a special ability to touch the One Power to see future events, has also been locked up by Liandrin, and as she gets to know Matt sees a vision of Mat stabbing Rand.
Perrin and Loial have joined a company of Shienarans led by Ingtar Shinowa to hunt for the Horn of Valere and Padan Fain who stole it from Fal Dara. They are joined by a "sniffer" Elyas, who takes an interest in Perrin. After coming across a massacre of innocent people and with a Fade nailed to a wall, they travel on to a small village, which is attacked by a Seanchan force. Perrin, Loial and the Shienarans are captured, as the Seanchan leader Suroth arrives along with Ishamael. Forced to swear fealty to the Seanchan, Ishamael is intrigued by Perrin, and encourages him to unleash his inner beast.
Moiraine and Lan recover after the attack from the Fades, and prepare to leave for the White Tower despite Moiraine being exiled by the Amyrlin. While on their way there, Verin deduces that Moiraine found the Dragon Reborn, and intends to serve him no matter what. Moiraine releases Lan from her service, claiming that he can't protect her anymore, and has Alanna and her warders escort him to the Tower.
In the White Tower, Nynave undergoes her Accepted test, which involves facing trials inside Ter'angreal Arches. NyNaeve passes two of the trails but on the third seemingly fails after choosing a life with Lan inside the Arches over becoming an Aes Sedai. Liandrin and the other Aes Sedai believe her to be dead, and Elayne has to comfort a grieving Egwene. Liandrin releases Mat, to comfort Egwene (which he opts not to do), but also has Min follow him.
Inside the Arches, Nynaeve’s life with Lan is ruined by a Trolloc attack, and she escapes back to the real world, and is embraced by a shocked Egwene.

Staff writer Celine Song

In the distant past 3000 years ago, the Tamyrlin Seat warns the Dragon Reborn, Lews Therin Telamon, of the dangers of his plan to imprison the Dark One.In the present day, in the Blight, Moiraine and Rand make their way to the Eye of the World and the Dark One’s prison. Having worked for 20-years for this moment, Moiraine gives Rand a sa'angreal, an ancient object to enhance his power to defeat the Dark One.

Meanwhile, with Lan tracking Moiraine and Rand in the Blight, at Fal Dara, thousands of Trollocs and their Mydrahhal launch an attack. As the Shinerien army of Fal Dara falls at the defenses in the Tarwin’s Gap, the Trollics charge on to destroy the city and bastion of Fal Dara. One last hope remains as Five women including Nynaeve and Egwene channel against the attack to protect the city and destroy the Trolloc army. But the effort to channel the One Power burns out all but Egwene, who is able to heal Nynaeve.

During the battle inside the fortress, soldiers accompanied by Perrin seek to retrieve the Horn of Valere, an ancient object that is prophesied to summon the greatest warriors of history at the Last Battle between the Dark One and the Dragon Reborn. But they are not alone and Padan Fain with the help of two Fades steals the Horn, revealing to Perrin that he is a Darkfriend who visited the Two Rivers to find the five ta'veren.

At the Eye, not even the power of Moiraine, the Blue Ajah, can stop the Dragon Reborn from being tempted by the appeal of the Dark One; as Rand is offered a vision of him and Egwene starting a family. The Dark One, Shai’tan or Ba'alzamon, tells him all he sees can come to pass if he gives his power to the Shadow.

To prevent meddling from Moiraine the Dark One cuts her connection to the One Power. But as Rand is offered his choice within his mind, his unconscious body is held by Moiraine who holds a knife to his neck, prepared to slit his throat if Rand chooses unwisely. But as the Dark One’s offer is rejected by Rand he awakes to attack the Dark One with the sa'angreal. In doing so he fractures one of the seals of Shai’tan’s prison.

Long ago, on a snowy volcanic mountain a warrior Aiel defends herself against soldiers during the Battle of the Shining Wars as she attempts to give birth to her child. Killing the soldiers but mortally wounded an enemy soldier, named Tam Al’Thor, helps her deliver her new born son as she dies from her wounds.

In the present Mat Cauthon is left behind as the group make their way through the Ways to Fal Dara, but they are not alone. The Ways have been corrupted and darkened by the Darkspawn who have used the ancient passages as a means of travelling through the world.

At a vandalised Way guide, the group rest as Loial tries to decipher its directions to their destination, where they are attacked by a Trolloc. But the use of the One Power in the Ways unleashes the Black Wind or Machin Shin. As they race to make it to the Fal Dara Waygate they are enveloped by the Black Wind which speaks to them about their past, present and future.

They escape the Machin Shin after Nyneave deploys her use of the One Power to hold it back and they make it to Fal Dara, an ancient fortress that defends the Westlands against the encroachment of the Blight and the forces of the Dark One. But after a drink at the local Inn, where Moiraine employs a gifted landlady, a Seer, to read the companions' weave, tensions begin to spill out between Rand, Nynaeve, Egwene and Perrin after Moiraine tells them she is unclear who among them is the Dragon Reborn and of the mortal danger they are in if they are not the Dragon.

As they spend time with their own thoughts in Fal Dara, Nynaeve begins to get to know Lan’s past staying the night with him, while Egwene and Rand make amends after their falling out over Mat and Perrin. The next day as the companions begin to assemble for their journey through the Blight to the Eye of the World two of their party are missing Moiraine and Rand.

Earlier as the others slept and with the words of the Black Wind echoing in his head, Rand’s memories and thoughts coalesce around those of his rescue of his w...

After a fishing trip with her father a young girl, named Siuan Sanche and whose control of the One Power is getting stronger and stronger each day, must leave for Tar Valon after the destruction of her home.

Many years later the once young girl is now the Amyrlin Seat, who presides over the White Tower and the stronghold of the Aes Sedai. Before her are the Aes Sedai Liandrin, Alana and Moiraine and they must answer for their preemptive actions against the False Dragon and denying the Amyrlin Seat its judgment. It is Moiraine who must face the consequences of their actions and receive the punishment of the Amyrlin Seat.

As Moiraine awaits her fate, her spy network has informed her of Rand and Mat’s whereabouts. As Mat’s condition detriorates, Rand is concerned at the arrival of Moiraine and Lan to the Inn believing that she will Gentle Mat. But Moiraine saves him, extracting the darkness from within him that he picked up from Shadar Logoth, locking it away in the ruby hilted dagger.

All roads lead to Tar Valon as our heroes begin to converge on the White Tower.

With a month passed since Logain’s forces attacked the Aes Sedai camp, he enters Tar Valon as their prisoner to face judgement by the Amalind Seat. Moiraine, Lan and the other Aes Sedai and their Warders mourn the loss of their fallen brethren. But Stepin has taken the death of his Aes Sedai, Kerene, hard and his grief knows no bounds.

While Lan attempts to comfort him, it all becomes too much for Stepin. As a glorious sunrise shimmers over Tar Valon the Warders and Aes Sedai must say goodbye to another of their ranks as Stepin releases himself of his grief and loss.

Rand and Mat, having escaped the Fade, also make it to Tar Valon where they treat themselves to comfy beds at a busy tavern. But Mat has become more and more withdrawn and tetchy, and Rand gets increasingly concerned that he has brought his friend to great danger in Tar Valon, the stronghold of Aes Sedai power, as he realises that his friend could truly be a male channeler or Saidin of the True Source, as warned by Thom. But as Mat is tormented all day and all night of visions from the farmstead, Rand meets Loail, a Ogier, in the tavern library. Looking to help Rand, Loail brings a familiar Wisdom to see Mat as the two are reunited with Nynaeve.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Tar Valon, Egwene and Perrin run into and are captured by a familiar face, the Questioner Child Valdor of the Whitecloaks. Believing Egwene and Perrin to be an Aes Sedai and her Warder, he coldly and clinically interrogates the two companions forcing an ultimatum on the two of them. Either Egwene confesses to channelling the One Power and will be killed, if not Perrin will be killed.

With Wolves howling nearby in the woods, Valdor tortures Perrin and his eyes become a brilliant golden yellow. With the White cloak distracted Egwene attempts to use her limited control of the One Power to no effect. But as Valdor ominously approaches Egwene to take her hands, wolves start to attack the White cloak encampment and Perrin finds the strength to break his bonds and stand up to Valdor. In the ensuing chaos Egwene and Perrin escape the...

Staff writer Celine Song

At a camp on the way to Tar Valon, the self-proclaimed Dragon reborn, Logain Albar, is under the control of the Aes Sedai. But his power is such that three Aes Sedai must work together taking turns to use the True Source to bind him. But on his rise to prominence Logain has grown his followers across the land with promises of making the world a better place.

The Aes Sedai debate what to do with Logain. While the Red Sedai believe they should punish Logain now, stripping him of his contact to the One Power, Moiraine struggles with uncertainty about the path forward with this newly proclaimed Dragon. While the Warders catch up with one another, Lan struggles to understand their new companion and Nynaeve just tries to keep her head down as she is surrounded by the Aes Sedai and their Warders.

Perrin and Egwene embark in a new direction on the plains of Caemlyn with the Tua’Athon and learn more about their ways, culture and history.

On the road East, pursued by a Fade, Rand, Mat and Thom seek shelter and rest from a family at a farmstead. Offered the barn for the night, Rand begins to worry about Mat’s behaviour. In the middle of the night Rand awakens to find Mat missing from his bed. Searching for him, Rand finds Mat in the farm house out of sorts with his dagger drawn and surrounded by the dead bodies of the farmer and his family. But they are not alone. The Fade is also there and seeks to claim his prey for his Master. As a blackness recedes from around Mat’s lips, Rand drags him from danger. While Thom fights the Fade, Rand and Mat escape to safety.

Just as the camp comes under attack from Logain’s followers to rescue him, and with the Aes Sedai tiring from the effort to bind him, Logain manages to use the True Source to break free of his prison.

He is confronted by Moirraine who still doubts that he is the Dragon and manages to delay him long enough for her sisters to restrict him again but not before Kerene, one of the Aes Sedai, is killed by his power.

Sensing this death the Warders and other Aes Sedai rush to assist them and contain Logain.

Split in different directions, the fragments of the group make their way across the world, all the while looking over their shoulders and all the while trying to anticipate each other’s movements - to return to the Two Rivers or push on East to Whitebridge and on to the White Tower.

Egwene and Perrin, are chased by wolves across the plains all the while trying to find time to rest and keep warm. At one one camp Perrin is tormented again in his dreams by the Dark One as he is returned to his Blacksmith and his dead wife. But the next morning Perrin and Egwene discover the wolves have led them to tracks that head East. Following them they soon catch up with a trail of caravans of the Tuatha’an - the travelling folk - who bring them into their circle for food, rest and safety.

Rand and Mat stumble across a mining town called Breen’s Spring, where they head to the local Inn with enough money for food and a tarp. Here they are introduced to a gleeman called Thomdril Merrilin, who gives the two friends some very useful and expensive life lessons. The helpful serving lady Dana gives them work in exchange for food and shelter. But Mat has become increasingly irritant and is reluctant to help Rand with the jobs. At the back of his mind is the glowing purple rock and thoughts of other plunder that he intends to make from the dead body of an Aiel strung up on the way into town.

With his jobs finished Rand soon discovers that the helpful Dana has not so helpful plans for himself and Mat. Dana’s dreams tell her the importance of the five companions to the Dark One. Having called on a fade, Mat interrupts Darkfriend Dana’s plans and they manage to escape with the help of Thomdril who kills the Dark friend before offering to take them East!

Elsewhere, Moiraine and Lan find help in an unexpected and unwanted quarter as NyNaeve uses her skills as a Wisdom to treat the wound on Moiraine’s shoulder. Lan treats her warily after she tries to run him through and he is also disconcerted that she could track the group from Twin Rivers.
