The Wheel of Time: Who Are Moiraine and Rand? - IGN First

The vibe of these interviews is so fantastic. The actors are covered in sweat and fake blood, sitting outside a half-burned village in coats, some with cups of coffee, talking about portraying their characters. So so so excited for this series.

[@Nemspy]

@@saishekhar8166 The book makes so secret of Rand's identity -- you'd have to be blind not to know exactly who he is after the climax of the prologue, a couple of prophecies, and the story immediately cutting to him -- where we soon get to learn that he looks different from everyone else and probably wasn't born on TTR. Of course, the show has made the cast really multicultural, so maybe they don't intend to make it so clear.

[@priscillawilliams4858]

@@Nemspy the cast is totally multi cultural yet they left Rand as the tall gangly red head with light colored eyes. Pretty much nails his importance right away. Play with everyone else’s coloring and ethnicity but don’t touch his. I’m so stoked about the show!

Stop complaining about the title -- the book makes it perfectly clear within about ten pages who Rand is. You'd have to be the most literal reader ever not to have worked it out. Part of the coolness of the story is us knowing what he doesn't.

[@lex763]

People are complaining because it’s obvious from the trailer and all of the other teasers that everyone in the production wants it to make it a mystery for new fans to the show. It’s not about us knowing it’s about ruining figuring out who it is for the new folks many who haven’t and aren’t going to read the books

[@ChristmasLore]

And every comment here would ruin it even more, if it were a mystery. It really isn't.
