Wheel of Time Episode 1 Easter Eggs

@@whatdoesthefoxsay477 well I always thought the tag line to the book should be: "Welcome to Tarmon Gai'don" and when you get to THAT chapter the challenge is to read it in one sitting lol

[@lightfriend]

One little easter egg/foreshadowing moment that I love is the scene between Tam and Rand where Tam is talking about the wheel and rebirth. Tam says "We do a little better than the last time." It is such a massive nod to Rand's character development. I think Mat's run through the trolloc attack is a sign of his ta'veren nature. All four of the ta'veren charcters had close calls with trollocs but came through unscathed while others around them were injured.

[@chubbacca943]

All four? I'm pretty sure the books only state that Rand, Mat, and Perrin are ta'veren.

[@EhudJonathan]

[@kernsr1859]

I noticed this as well, the camera lingered on rand when tam said “do a little better than last time”. Really cool cinematography

[@adufresne1]

I firmly believe the Egwene scene with the paint and Tam's fever dream (there's BTS photos of it in X-Ray) are going to be cold open flashbacks for some of the coming episodes. I could really see Tam's fever dream scene flashing to the Blood Snow footage from the trailer.

[@MistaZULE]

I hope you're right. That would be beautiful. I also think they will do the cold open from the prologue of EOTW at the beginning of season 2 only if season 1 ends with the end of EOTW (the finale at the Eye where Rand saves the Shienarans against the Trolloc Army). It would be a perfect opportunity for the show to explain to non-book viewers what the Dragon is, who Ishamael is and give some world building for the Age of Legends so the reveal in the Aiel Wastes won't be as jarring. This is all speculation though, but this show is giving me hopes with how many details and small easter eggs they're dropping for book readers.

[@nikkisweezea2388]

I think the Egwene scene with the paint will be from her trial to become a novice. Or, possibly from Nynaeve's to become Accepted, both of which could happen immediately when they reach Tar Valon for the first time. ETA: I just went and checked in the episode, the dress is already dyed the colors before she goes in the river. It's subtle, but you can see the red and yellow in the scene when her hair is being braided and Nynaeve is giving her speech. There is also zero evidence that Nynaeve is cleaning up the paint in the cave. She says the cave and pool are sacred, it's most likely just her job as Wisdom to keep algae and moss from growing on the rocks so that they don't get too slippery and contaminate the water.

[@ethanpoints8735]

I buy the Darkfriend theory. Wolves are eating her in the dream and wolves are strong and lucid in dreams and hunt dark spawn relentlessly.

[@solindasedai2252]

There was also a growl right before Perrin swung his axe at Laila in Ep 1. I thought that was why he spun around and I expected to see a troll of. I am wondering now if it was a wolf growl (in Perrin’s head perhaps) to warn him that Laila was about to kill him

[@blackstorm9755]

Yes and when we first meet her Perrin comes to her and says I love you. I think she has her hand at her waist maybe on her knife.

[@FlyFriend42]

The wolve could also be perrin

[@alcahuetasanonymous]

I’m wondering if Layla, a Darkfriend, knowing that the DO wants Perrin alive, was trying to mercy kill him to spare him that fate because she actually did love him, a la Perrin & Egwene in book 1

Even just have him stand behind rand at times, let him be seen whispering to rand but dont let us hear him. Until we hit Rands pov or over the shoulder, hearing lews ranting and raving

[@ryadinstormblessed8308]

Yes, agreed about Layla being a darkfriend and attacking Perrin. But I think there's 2 more things to consider. As to her being specifically assigned to watch Perrin, that's not necessarily the case. Remember that he's the one expressing love for her which she accepts but doesn't really reciprocate much. She was probably told about all of the ta'veren and went there to investigate them, then Perrin has a crush on her, she plays it up to ingratiate herself in the village, things get a little carried away, she gets pregnant and they get married. She's not in love with him, but does like him and feels bad about what she's doing. Then the Trolloc attack happens and she's conflicted. There's a moment I haven't seen anyone mention yet. Yes there's the big one where she's about to smack him with the hammer, but look earlier at the very beginning of their fight in the forge. Perrin is fighting a Trolloc and she's behind him with the hammer, and she hesitates! There's a brief but very clear moment there where she hesitates, and I think that's the first time she recognizes she had an opportunity to take him down (probably not to kill him but just knock him out and bring him to the Myrddraal) but hesitates and her conscience gets the better of her and she fights the Trollocs first. She's angry with herself for feeling conflicted, and that's part of the badass battle rage we see here as she DEMOLISHES that Trolloc. But then the Trollocs are dead and Perrin is distracted with his wolf rage overkill moment, and Layla sees that she'll never have a better opportunity than this and she goes for it. But of course Perrin's spidey-sense tingles (okay, his wolf instincts) and he turns and kills her before he knows what's happening.

[@andrewberenson5717]

Show Padan Fain is all teeth. It's very unsettling, which is appropriate.

[@ChristChickAutistic]

I saw that too, Jon. She wasn't going to kill the Trolloc, she was gonna kill Perrin. I was thinking, hmm, she's acting like a Darkfriend.

[@thewaterwarrior9817]

I love the phrase "Egwene gets yeeted into the river" lmaooo

[@pompeyoc]

Great job on your videos, Jon! I love everything you said here. To add to your 'Laila is a dark friend' theory (which makes a lot of sense now that I think about it), she fell in love with Perrin, which is why she always had that sad look, then during the trolloc attack, decided on impulse to kill Perrin instead of giving him up to the Dark One as she had been instructed. Maybe that instant she realized Perrin killed her was her only moment of happiness as his wife (ok, now I'm reaching hehehe).

[@filam7371]

I like it.

[@spacecase7717]

When Perrin told Lila that he loved her instead of saying I love you too she replied "I know". Also, Lews Therin to begin with doesn't realize Rand is a real person, he thinks he's imaginary. I wonder how they will handle that. I'm already disappointed that there are only five(?) more episodes this season.

[@abbys6260]

Thank you for pointing out the whistling. Padan Fane was one of my favorite parts of episode 1.

[@DOSHIELD]

That last Easter Egg theory of yours really helps me accept how they are making decisions in the storyline. That does make a lot of sense.

[@alison4dice]

Totally agree that Laila was a dark friend. She didn't go to the Women's Circle ceremony for Egwene and she didn't tell Perrin she loved him. Her body language was cold, almost hostile. I hadn't caught that she might be swinging the hammer at him because of the editing, but I gasped out loud when Perrin hit her with the axe. It's a devastating moment - well done by the show runners to give book fans something so unexpected.

[@hectorb101]

Jon, I have been watching and reading all the reviews, breakdowns, etc about the TV show and yours are the most insightful and interesting. Thank you. Matt's bumbling luck during raid...incredible. Layla being a Dark Friend going to pound Perrin with the hammer and his wolf senses picking up on it...tremendous. Padan Fain and the whistling...ecxellent. Got to go and catch up with the rest of your content.

[@Gangerworld]

You've earned a Like and a Sub. I'm a huge fan of the WoT series and I'm digging the new show so far, so I'm glad channels like this are popping up. My favourite part of Episode 1 was the ending, where Moiraine was saying the preamble to all of the books. I found myself mouthing along to her. "But it was A beginning." It was great.

[@senseimatt3097]

Excellent! The Whistling I noticed right away with Padan Fain and I think when his story is revealed as following Mat and Rand it will unveil it all! I also had the same theory about #LaylaDarkfriend. I think that Hopper was showing him in the dream.... I also would say that the rock that tumbles down the mountain when Rand and Tam are walking and Rand draws his bow, is a clear nod to the "Sighting," I thought it was well done.

[@nedmonk5938]

I LOVE the whistling! My take on that is it is actually the crooning, haunting song of the Draghkar (that the EOTW explains is tracking the group for the fade). If I'm right, the showrunners pulled an absolutely brilliant move! First, they gave a nod to the book fans by including yet another easter egg with the behind-the-scenes Draghkar. Secondly, the whistling (Draghkar) that always seems to be accompanying the fade, led DIRECTLY into Padan Fain whistling the same tune! Thirdly, not a huge point but in my view it tied all 3 evil entities (Lurk, Draghkar and Fain) together in a horrifyingly beautiful way.

I think the scene where Egwene comes up through pool with the dye was not removed from the show. It will be shown in a later episode. And I think it will be a Dream she has Fortelling her rise to the Amyrlin Seat. This way we can be slowly introduced to Eqwene's talents with Dreaming and being able to go to Tel'aran'rhiod. Laila being a darkfriend was an awesome theory. I had not thought of that. I love it! That is what I am going with as well. It just works.

You aren't alone. I 100% thought that that was what they were going to do with the madness. Couple that with a delayed reveal and you have the makings of a Shutter Island sized twist to hook a new audience.

[@TheHazeKiller]

Imagine Rand meets Lews after being told by Lan not to do the Heron Wading form (I forget the name, I'm a fan not an expert). He assumes Lews is real and is here to help. Cue the final fight with Baalzamon. Rand and Lews fight together. Rand sees Lews go to deflect Baal's blade and enters into the Heron Wading, stabs, and looks down at the blade in his side. Wide shot: Lews Therin is nowhere in the shot this time. Just him and Baalzamon stabbing each other. *Edit: I forgot the sword form but I checked my copy of TGH because it was bothering me.

[@Lordo_Atlantis]

Such an iconic moment (I really feel everyone loved egwene surfacing) might have been delayed for more effect, episode 6 flashback?

[@beigeguy84]

The Angreal wasn’t in the episode because the opening scene was shot later. They said they shot the original opener from the prophecy of the birth of the dragon and then replaced with Moiraine getting ready. So they didn’t have the statue when they shot the pilot.

That was a fun watch - thanks! My theory regarding Laila is that while she was a darkfriend and the Dark One has knowledge of what they know to some extent, he only knows everything of the people who have touched the True Power and he wasn't aware of Perrin's nature until he sent Fain sniffing around in the Two Rivers. So, Laila married Perrin because while she is a darkfriend, she still has a life. And then, all of a sudden, orders come around that he is now her target.

I heard the theory on Layla Aybarra and it looks plausible that she is a dark friend. I think due to the fact that Rand lives outside the village he may be more protected from another dark friend latching on to him! Bring on episode 4! I’m firmly on this train and hyped! I think Color Egwane is going to be a flashback in a future episode. Something must happen in that particular scene that they didn’t want to show just yet. Nice Easter eggs!
