[How will people recact to returned Moiraine?]

I think Nynaeve would be really annoyed if Moiraine and Lanfear came back as BFFs.

Moiraine better have changed her name to Lan or Galad.

 

*nods* It's a matter of spelling.

[Random XIV]

Well, I'll send you a love letter the next time it happens to make up for it

[Random XIV]

I think you should spoil away. Maybe a warning in the top of the page would be enough in the start. But generally, internetting people know to stay away if they don't want spoilers.

[The end of channeling]

I thought it was bare breasted lesbians, polygamy, and BDSM.

[Does Moiraine realize her own Moiraineness?]

and if she was a super hero, she'd dress exactly like she already does. Because she's already a super hero.

 

Then she'd need a secret identity other than her Moiraine self. Maybe she is Siuan when she isn't out saving people as Moiraine. Or maybe she's Thom and a narcissist plotting to marrying herself and having her own babies.

[how is moiraine's rescue going to go down?]

Mat has to give up half the light of the world to save the world, and I know it has long been thought that refers to him losing an eye in exchange for Moiraine. It'll be interesting to see if that theory is true, and if it is, if Mat knows what he is giving up.

 

I still can't believe that it's just an eye to save the world. It has to be something else.....

 

It'd make so much sense if it was one of those creation stories of night came to be.

[The end of channeling]

I'm not very clear on the details but wasn't there some really cursed city with lots of evil? Evil that was powerful on its own. I'm thinking power stuff in Randland isn't limited to channeling and such but can happen and unhappen whimsically.

 

So yeah, that would suggest channeling could stop working...but then someone could fix it again.

[[Split] Thom being creepy with Moiraine]

Ohno, then Moiraine couldn't be evil stepmom. If evil, Elayne would have to be a black sheep.

[how is moiraine's rescue going to go down?]

Since it's fiction, I fear it has to go wrong. It needs to all hang on a hair.

 

"Can we have Moiraine back?" Thom asked.

 

"Ok," Moiraine's captor said, "fine weather today, isn't it?"

 

Just wouldn't fill a book. Especially not a WoT book.

[how is moiraine's rescue going to go down?]

Girls in towers are saved when they let their lovers-to-be climb up their hair *nods* That's how it works.

[[Split] Thom being creepy with Moiraine]

it doesn't work like that, see

 

[[Split] Thom being creepy with Moiraine]

Ohno, they won't. Evil step-sisters needs to be ugly and stupid. It's tradition.

[[Split] Thom being creepy with Moiraine]

It's too bad Moiraine doesn't have daughters of her own or they could all gang up on Elayne and make her a slave.

[[Split] Thom being creepy with Moiraine]

Hey, I object to this split. Or the name of the thread anyway. Thom might be the creepy one but if that makes it hot for Moiraine, then she's the creepy one. I'll settle for the thread being named "Thom and Moiraine being creepy to each other" because it's romantic.

 

Also, I arranged a super neat little protest:

 

 

but without a [marquee] they won't protest properly They just stand there. Imagine the boost a [marquee] could give if it was speedy enough, Moiraine might even catch up to him.

[A deep and interspective analysis of the Moiraine trailer]

I don't get the horse thing. Horses are the primary form of long distance travel. Of course she'll ride a horse! Maybe this person expected Moiraine to be legless I don't know.

 

 

Well, white horses have special significance. For example, the final incantation of Vishnu is represented by a white horse. And as wiki points out, they are often associated with an "end-of-time saviour".

 

Also, with Moiraine's very contrasting, completely black eyes, and (as far as I can tell) black hair, and dark (purple-ish?), contrasting clothes, I think she might come back as more than a little Blue Aes Sedai.

 

Fire raining down further hints of the end-of-time and underlines the role Moiraine has yet to play.

 

So yeah, spoilers in the sense that nothing has been said out loud before. Unfortunately, if Moiraine indeed is a savior, then I fear she has little hope of surviving past the final battle. Hopefully, she'll have an easier death than Jesus though...

[A deep and interspective analysis of the Moiraine trailer]

I was kinda "huh?" when I first heard they were going to release a trailer too, Tosh. I mean, what's the point? It can't be advertising - we're freaking 13 books into this series and it has millions of readers around the world, so I'm pretty sure they're not trying to broaden the fanbase with this trailer.

 

But for every new fan, they'd get to sell thirteen books. I'm sure they wanna sell as many books as possible to as many people as possible.

 

...I think the only thing worse than reading that letter is hearing it aloud.

Yes, the model was great (and the horse, I guess) but the voice over of old lady just...ruins it for me. Not to mention that letter is just so silly.

Maybe Moiraine is turning in to comic relief. She could be the next Joxer The Mighty. I think there is a basis for a theme song in the background of the video.

 

 

............. that was it????? That was so simplistic. And the voice.... from the freaking audio book????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

 

Visually it was pretty. But I feel like they could've played with it a LOT more. Phaw. Whatever, give me the book already!

 

I kinda felt it anticlimactic with so many close close closeups and then no proper view of her face or figure. It was all building up and then you get a brief shot of her eyes staring up a bit cross-eyed(Such comic relief) before she rides off.

 

Also, on the topic of her dark eyes, they look unnaturally dark to me, kinda as if the actress is wearing lenses. Or they tried to make the eyes more intense by turning up the contrast way too much.

[A deep and interspective analysis of the Moiraine trailer]

There is no shame in being ashamed.

[A deep and interspective analysis of the Moiraine trailer]

Maybe it wasn't supposed to sound like Moiraine, maybe some elderly lady just read it. Kinda like you do when reading a book but out loud and recorded.
