Barney harris family8/11/2023 ![]() Sure, the quote has been changed slightly to try and make more sense for the show but it still does not quite work right.Īgain, it’s true to the book, however the issue is that the dialogue for this adaptation has been more modern so to hear this old fashioned love declaration feels rather strange. In the books, Lan has quite a different personality, so the reasons for him telling Nynaeve this are for meant to mean something else and thus the line does not match up with the show conversation. Now, while this is a book accurate line, for the most part, I just don’t think it works here because it feels entirely different from the context of what is happening in this scene. And I will love him if he makes you smile. What this tell is and how Lan has not noticed it after decades of being Moiraine’s Warder is never explained.Īnother issue is a line Lan says that is translated right from the books.Īs he is saying goodbye to Nynaeve, he tells her, “I will hate the man you choose. Lan’s top priority, though, is locating Moiraine, and Nynaeve informs him of how to do so because of a “tell” she has. We then pick up with our two sets of characters, as Rand and Moiraine make their way through the Blight, towards the Eye of the World, and Lan and the Emond’s Fielders reel from the revelation that Rand is the Dragon Reborn. ![]() ![]() There are some issues with Lews Therin’s first scene in the show but overall I liked it. However, I guess they did need to show how far the world had fallen since the Breaking of the World, so it’s not too much of an issue. We even get a good look at the futuristic setting of the Third Age, which looks oddly good for a time when the Dark One threatened the world. It really showed a commitment to the world building of the lore, even if some parts of it were contradicted. Seriously, how the heck did she predict that?Īlthough, I was able to look past these issues during my first watch of the episode because I liked how the scene was performed in old tongue. ![]() Yeah, that was the first sign of trouble in the episode because there are quite a few inaccuracies to the most simple parts of the lore in this opening scene, like Lews Therin’s title, and Latra (Katie Brayben) somehow knowing the Dark One would taint the male half of the One Power. The reason for this is that the cold open for the episode is our first introduction to Rand’s prior life, Lews Therin Talamon (Alexander Karim), the Dragon Reborn… wait “reborn?” ![]() This is especially bad considering this is the first season’s finale, and I am really hoping it is not an indication of the quality of future seasons.Īdmittedly, when “The Eye of the World” first started, I was pretty excited for it. Police said Harris and his brother-in-law Steven Alexander Stewart, of Wadesboro, went to a mobile home park on Wyatt Road in Green Level in the early morning hours of April 8 to steal money and drugs from a Mexican cartel's stash house.Although I have had some issues with Amazon Prime’s adaptation of The Wheel of Time, mostly to do with the premiere episode, I overall enjoyed the show up to Episode Seven… then I watched Episode Eight.ĭirected by Ciarian Donnely again, this episode, titled “The Eye of the World”, is without question the weakest of the season, so far. "I can tell you right now, when we are dealing with the Mexican drug cartel, someone is going to die as a result of this," Johnson said. A popular Charlotte-area teacher was killed in shootout with a Mexican drug cartel last week in Alamance County, North Carolina, the sheriff's office said during a news conference Wednesday.īarney Harris, a basketball coach at Union Academy in Monroe, was well-loved and respected, but Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson said, on the side, Harris was involved in the "dangerous and deadly" drug world. A popular North Carolina teacher and coach was among two people killed in an Alamance County shootout with a Mexican drug cartel last week. ![]()
