Embracing the Way of the Leaf: How Principled Nonviolence Distinguishes The Wheel of Time From Other Epic Fantasy Shows
'We are always looking to lean into the elements of the books that are unique to The Wheel of Time'
Sad to hear that the Wheel of Time show was canceled; it was doing really interesting things. Last month, I made my @tvguide.com debut writing about how the season 3 climax subverted the idea of an epic fantasy battle โ by taking principled nonviolence seriously www.tvguide.com/news/the-whe...

All hail Siuan Sanche. Daughter of the River. Water itself. Defiant to the end.

Instead of being reduced in power, looked down on or pitied by former friends and sisters, having to beg to get back into the Blues, Show Siuan remained a true, defiant, powerful Amyrlin, Warrior of the Light and daughter of the river.

Now that I have had time to think about it, I think I prefer Siuan's storyline on the show to the books. Book Siuan really only came into her own after being stilled but she was humbled at every turn and I was dreading that happening to Show Siuan

'The Wheel of Time's Sharon Gilham Breaks Down Season 3's Incredible Costumes, From the Age of Legends to the Aiel Waste
Gilham explains the design process behind some of Season 3's most legendary looks and why every character's costume is carefully considered.
Now that #TheWheelOfTime Season 3 has finished airing, I can finally share my lengthy chat with costume designer Sharon Gilham about so many of its best looks, including the Age of Legends, the Aiel Waste, alternate evil futures, Moiraine's Hatโข๏ธ, and so much more:

People smile, wave, and pose in various fun and casual stances. Behind them are racks of costumes labeled with signs such as โWARDERS,โ โAES SEDAI,โ and โTANCHICO.โ Boxes and hanging garments are visible, emphasizing the bustling production environment.
"The costume department of The Wheel of Time. These people are magic. Everyone played their part. Everyone โฅ๏ธ" Sharon Gilham in an Instagram post.
They are all magic! They gave us all magic; many spending years of their lives making #TheWheelOfTime. Honor to the Builders!

Fourteen screenshots of a few seconds of the battle between Moiraine and Lanfear in Season 3 Episode 8 of The Wheel of Time. In each Moiraine is on the left kneeling in the sand but stands at the very last. On the right is Lanfear floating in air with a shield in front of her as Moiraine throws fireball after fireball at her. There are many fiery explosions against the shield, with multiple fireballs seen at times flying at Lanfear.

This show is great at portraying grief and the ramifications in world. Alanna and Maksim for Ihvon, Perrin for Laila, Dain for his dad, the girls for Natti
It makes me wonder how they will portray the impact of Siuanโs death when (not if) we get s4.

Once again, #TheWheelOfTime excels at show don't tell exposition. Balefire takes at least a page to explain in the books, and gets recapped multiple times. But a few seconds of special effects communicates all the audience needs to know.

I love show Nynaeve deeply. And I agree that making her block about the Fear of losing control & identity was so real & relatable. She has been the most relatable character for me since s1.1, & this took her relatability to a whole new level. I love her so much! ๐

She did not hesitate. There was no room in her mind for hesitation. Stopping only long enough to remove her shoes and stockings, she stepped between the twisted stone columns.
The light dimmed as if she had entered a cavern, yet she could still see the room she had left. The three arches of the doorway began to revolve slowly, and a strange hum rose, like a swarm of bees growing louder and louder.
Moiraine whispered to herself, the words barely audible:
"Remember what must be remembered. Trust what must be trusted. Do what must be done."
Then the arches completed a full turn, and with a sound like a sigh, Moiraine Damodred vanished.

I haven't worked my way to rewatching yet. That ep made me cry more than any ep this season. (I remember crying a lot in s2.) Possibly my 2nd favorite ep this season. Possibly #1. I have to do a full s3 rewatch this week.

Also, by aging them in the show, if they still met as teens in the Tower, they were together about 50 years before Rand was born. They actually had a full life together before the mission started. That comforts me a lot! #Siuaraine ๐

It absolutely ๐! But I love how they set up their relationship as being long, committed, spiritual, & loving in the deepest of ways. I knew they wouldn't be together in this life. Their commitment to the mission wouldn't allow that. But their soulmates for โพ๏ธ! ๐

Yes! This is what I am doing. I've enjoyed the wonder & performances presented in the show (and the updating). I've just now started reading the books in earnest to add layers to characters and the worldbuilding.

Moiraine (Rosamund Pike) sitting on the ground of a bamboo hut, smiling as Siuan comes through the door. She has Siuan's tattoos.
The Wheel of Time is very good at maximising nuance with little time. This shot of Moiraine only lasts a second - in one out of a thousand futures, she had Siuan's Tairen's tattoos, testifying to a devotion so deep that she left nobility for a life on the river, and loved it.
