The gang is back together and I'm joined by youtube.com/@PrestonJacobstheSweetrobin talking about episode 4 of The Wheel of Time.
On the group's way to Rhuidean, Aiel Wise Ones suggest that Moiraine enter the city alongside Rand and take a trial that Wise Ones undergo. Upon entering Rhuidean, Moiraine discovers Sakarnen, a female counterpart to Callandor, and begins the trial during which she experiences several possible futures where either she or Rand dies. During Rand's trial, he relives the lives of his ancestors, learning the history of the Aiel—during the Age of Legends, they were servants of the Aes Sedai who were sworn to pacifism and were sent to find a "place of safety" to protect Sakarnen after the Breaking of the World, but eventually broke their oaths, splitting up and becoming the warrior nation they are today. In the most distant memory, Rand sees Lanfear, an Aes Sedai scientist, conducting an experiment that tears a Bore in reality, initiating the Breaking. Rand passes the trial, receiving two dragon tattoos on his arms to be recognized as the leader of the Aiel, and carries a half-conscious Moiraine out of Rhuidean.

In The Wheel of Time, a humble farm boy, Rand al’Thor, learns he is The Dragon Reborn—a dangerous figure from history destined to save the world … or break it. The Wheel of Time turns, and the Last Battle approaches. After defeating Ishamael, one of the most powerful of the Forsaken, at the end of Season Two, Rand reunites with his friends in the city of Falme and is declared the Dragon Reborn. But in Season Three, the threats against the Light are multiplying: the White Tower stands divided, the Black Ajah run free, old enemies return to the Two Rivers, and the remaining Forsaken are in hot pursuit of the Dragon… including Lanfear, whose relationship with Rand will mark a crucial choice between Light and Dark for them both. As the ties to his past begin to unravel, and his corrupted power grows stronger, Rand becomes increasingly unrecognizable to his closest allies, Moiraine and Egwene. These powerful women, who started the series as teacher and student, must now work together to prevent the Dragon from turning to the Dark…no matter the cost. The Wheel of Time series on Prime Video has solidified its place as a monumental success for the platform. Based on Robert Jordan's beloved and epic fantasy book series, the show weaves a tale of magic, destiny, and adventure that has captured the imagination of fans worldwide. In 2021, Season One launched as the biggest original series debut in Prime Video history at the time, excelling in both reach and subscriber acquisition. It continues to remain among the top three series debuts of all time on Prime Video behind The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Fallout. Overall, the show has generated more than 100 million viewers worldwide to-date. Additionally, both Seasons One and Two are Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, further cementing the show's critical acclaim. The Wheel of Time serves as a cornerstone of Amazon MGM Studios' suite of successful, high-quality tentpole fantasy series, and together, these series underscore the studio's leadership in delivering premium storytelling to a global audience. The Wheel of Time stars Rosamund Pike (Saltburn, Gone Girl) as Moiraine Damodred, Daniel Henney (Criminal Minds) as al’Lan Mandragoran, Josha Stradowski (Gran Turismo) as Rand al’Thor, Zoë Robins (Power Rangers Ninja Steel) as Nynaeve al'Meara, Madeleine Madden (Dora and the Lost City of Gold) as Egwene al'Vere, Marcus Rutherford (Obey) as Perrin Aybara, Dónal Finn (Rogue Heroes) as Mat Cauthon, Ceara Coveney (Young Wallander) as Elayne Trakand, Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda, Slow Horses) as Siuan Sanche, Kate Fleetwood (Harlots) as Leandrin Guirale, Natasha O’Keeffe (Peaky Blinders) as Lanfear, Ayoola Smart (Killing Eve) as Aviendha, Kae Alexander (Game of Thrones) as Min Farshaw, Priyanka Bose (Lion) as Alanna Mosvani, Taylor Napier (Hanna) as Maksim, Hammed Animashaun (Black Ops) as Loial, Meera Syal (The Devil’s Hour) as Verin Mathwin, Jennifer Cheon Garcia (Van Helsing series) as Leane, Johann Myers (Halo series) as Padan Fain, Jay Duffy (Northern Lights) as Dain Bornhald, Laia Costa (The Diplomat) as Moghedien, Isabella Bucceri (Everything In Between) as Faile Bashere, Olivia Williams (Dune: Prophecy, The Crown) as Queen Morgase Trakand, and Shohreh Aghdashloo (House of Saddam, The Penguin) as Elaida do Avriny a’Roihan. #thewheeloftime
