Man, what a season finale! From Pennywise the Dancing Fox to the destructive force of balefire, from Nynaeve's Moana moment to the creepiest corpse I've seen, from Rand dancing on a knife's edge of egomania & madness to the end of two separate years-long relationships of Power-crossed lovers, this was a huge episode. Join Greg and Veronica as they EXTENSIVELY talk about all things "He Who Comes With the Dawn" related, and close out another turning of the Wheel. This is a long one, and we hope you enjoy hearing about it as much as we enjoyed talking about it. Thank you for all of your interaction this season, we will come back when we hear an update to how the next few seasons will go. And due to a technical faux pas, we want to apologize that we are missing a number of comments from a "too early" spoiler thread, so unfortunately we lost those comments to the Black Wind.

With what seems like a closeout of the Two Rivers this season, we got a pretty intense battle scene, some pretty badass weather manipulation, some sweet, sweet revenge, and a goodbye that shocked us pretty good. Join Veronica and Greg as they delve into the episode and explore the emotional moments, badass or otherwise, in the episode. ONE EPISODE LEFT THIS SEASON!!!

The Hills of Tanchico are alive!!! From the newest catchy TV show song to everyone speaking WAY LOUDER THAN THEY SHOULD, from the Forsaken being disgustingly petty to kinda of, well, easy to take out, to a heartrending scene of power and helplessness, there was a lot to talk about here! And talk we did.

We knew there would be a dropoff, but this episode still had some good stuff! From MORE POWER THAN MOIRAINE EVER DREAMED to Dreamwalking, From Sea Folk to Seasickness, from a bad breakup to being a bad bitch, this episode had quite a bit to talk about. Join Veronica and Greg as they break it down, discussing what they liked, what they didn't, what made sense, and where logic completely broke down. Thanks for all of the feedback, everybody!

Deep breath...WHEW!!! THAT was a landmark episode. From discovering Rand's ancestors knew and remembered "the Song", to delving deep into the history and lore of the Aiel's beginnings, to watching Moiraine be brutally *spoiler deleted* over and over again, this was a wicked emotional rollercoaster. SPOILER ALERT: We loved it!!! Join Veronica and Greg as they dig deeper into the lore of this world than Mierin punched through the Pattern, exploring a ton of the minutiae of the episode, and still probably leaving bloody stones unturned. Hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did!

Pretty solid end to an entertaining beginning of the season! From sympathy for Liandrin (WHAAAT?!?!) to Mat embracing his fortune, from Perrin "doing what he has to" to Lan not forgetting his father battle, this episode was just as dense with payoffs and lore as the first 3 this season.

Well...THAT escalated quickly. From that brutal opening inauguration, to meeting the Andoran royal family, to Perrin's unwelcoming homecoming, to Egwene finding out she may NOT want her dreams to come true, Veronica and Greg break down this middle opening episode. We had some nitpicks, for sure, but we enjoyed it and couldn't wait to get to the last of the opening three. Hope you enjoy! Check out this podcast and other great shows at podcastica.com.

Boy, it's great to be back in this world! From the opening confrontation to what has to be the worst inn customer service, this episode really delivered on re-establishing the world and our characters place in it. In the White Tower, in the city of Tar Valon, it seems like our heroes will be going their separate ways again. Join Greg and Veronica as they both gush and condemn the season premiere!

Wow, what a season finale!! We have to admit, this was pretty elevated, and if we sound a little fanboy-ish about it...it's cause it was flipping awesome! Another Final Boss Battle! The band gets back together! Mat is a Hero of the Horn! Egwene goes full bad-a$$! The Dragon is Proclaimed! The stars aligned and Amazon really did something amazing with the end of this season, and you can tell the love and effort the show-makers put into the production.

Ooof. That was a tough one. Sorry about the late publication, things happen. Anywhoo, The Empire Strikes Back in the Wheel of Time!!! Everyone enslaved or stilled or killed! Or just abandoned! (Thanks Mat!) The Wheel of Time ‘Cast finally has it’s full complement of hosts this week as Greg, Veronica, and Ben break down some phenomenal depressing performances, and get to wonder at how we only have two more episodes to speculate on the fate of our favorite (or despised) characters.

Oh boy, this was a bit of a harsh episode. From the ashes of an inn rises a…Forsaken lover? Little of bit of timeline confusion, but we got quite a few reveals from this episode, and some secrets aired out, from some of Moiraine’s history, to the revelation that all Aes Sedai don’t necessarily fight for the Light, to the fact that even “powerless” Aes Sedai are able to physically defend themselves and their self appointed wards.

At long last, our coverage of Episode 3! Apologies for the delay, but we are almost caught up! This was quite a dense episode, showing development on a lot of fronts, but can we just give a golf-clap for a heck of a performance by Zoë Robbins? Nynaeve went through a lot here, and we want to apologize up front for the fruity language, we were emotionally put through the ringer as well.

The Wheel of Time is back!! Almost 2 years after the release of season 1, the Dragon is back and riding on the winds of...well, the podcast waves. Six months have passed since Rand fought whom he thought was the Dark One at the Eye of the World, and Moiraine has been cut off from the Source. Join Greg and Veronica as they delve back into the world with some new characters, new locations, new powers, new Mat, and the same cranky Nynaeve. Welcome back, and we are excited to talk more about it!!Check out this podcast and other great shows at podcastica.com.

The end of the first season is here, and reviews are...mixed. Some great heavy acting from mainstays and favorite characters, mingled with some pretty confusing lingo and concepts led to some disagreements on the episode, but we had a great time breaking this one down. From a pretty intriguing (although subtitled) flashback to a showdown at the Eye of the World (or in Rand's mind) to a full blown massacre of Trollocs via the One Power, this episode had a lot going on, and some worked, and some fell a little flat. Thanks for joining us for our coverage and for all of your wonderful feedback! Looking forward to next season already! If Loial dies, we RIOT!!!

The Dragon Reborn is finally revealed!! Ben returns with Wendy and Greg to discuss an amazing opening sequence and their take on the the penultimate episode of this season. From a battle in the Ways to the fortress of Fal Dara to the return of our favorite peddler, we break down our favorite (or less favorite) parts of this episode. While we may not agree on all aspects of the show, we are really invested in the characters and can't wait to see what the Eye of the World is going to deliver! Thanks for joining us!

From learning the White Tower power structure and politics, to sucking the Dark out of Mat and kicking Moiraine out of the Tower, to the Aes Sedai Boss Bitch and a giant stone Portal in the middle of a random field, we got a really full episode finally developing Moiraine as a character. Greg, Wendy and WoT super-fan guest host Eric break down their favorite and notable scenes from a powerhouse group of actors absolutely killing it. Between Rosamund Pike (Moiraine), Sophie Okenado (Siuan), and Kate Fleetwood (Liandrin), this episode was full of high tension and drama and the machinations we didn't know we needed, but are thoroughly grateful for. ***Disclaimer: We had a couple of technical issues with this episode. We think we got most of them, but there are a couple of spots that echoing still happens, sorry about that** Rosamund Pike interview: https://tvline.com/2021/12/10/the-wheel-of-time-episode-6-rosamund-pike-moiraine-enter-ways/ Hammed Animashaun interview: https://nerdist.com/article/the-wheel-of-time-hammed-animashaun-loial-interview/ We'd love to hear your thoughts on Ep. 7, "The Dark Along the Ways"!
