So, in my real life (outside of this app) I’m a journalist and content creator on social media where I talk about films and television. And I’ve ben given the INCREDIBLE opportunity to VISIT THE SET OF 'THE WHEEL OF TIME' for the promotion of it’s second season. (I know, it’s absolutely fucking insane, can’t believe this is happening and I want to throw up everytime I think about it)
Aaaaaand, given that the actors and writers are on strike, I’ll maaaybe get the chance to interview some of the crew members!!! (AM I ACTUALLY SAYING THESE WORDS WTF??!!??) Costume designer Isis Mussenden and production designer Ondrej Nekvasil are amongst the interview options!
I’m a fan of the show and I’m currently reading the books so I’ve written down some questions of my own BUT I wanted to reach out to you (the hardcore fandom), to personally ask you if there’s any questions about the upcoming season that you would like to get answered? I want to make videos that are relevant and enjoyable for the fans, because at the end of the day you guys are the ones that make this show possible❤️
So, if you have any questions LEAVE THEM IN THE REPLIES BELLOW for a chance to get them answered and be featured in the interview video!! The questions can be about anything, just let me know what is it that occupies your WOT-loving minds🙌🏻
Thank you in advance for your incredible questions and I’ll let you know when the video is up!! (Or if I end up not getting an interview I’ll also let you guys know) ✨
i was thinking about lanfear telling rand that the word "sorry" will lose all meaning if he keeps saying it, and out of curiosity i searched all the episode transcripts to see how often rand says sorry. i found that, just looking at total instances of the word and not specific characters, there's usually 1-4 "sorry"s per episode. got to 2x08 and went "damn 13 'sorry's in this episode?? what happened here?????" and i clicked along and realized it was because of mat and the stabbening 😭😭
anyway here's a good old-fashioned Chart Of Inane And Useless WOT Data!
my statistician's notes:
i only searched for the word "sorry", so this does not capture other ways of apologizing or expressing regret/guilt
i excluded all "sorry"s said to mean "what did you say?" rather than "i'm apologizing", and all "sorry"s which i deemed insincere (liandrin had a few of those lmao, and also things like elayne jokingly saying "sorry" after egwene says her homemade moonshine is very strong - some subjectivity here about what i considered sincere or not)
i did not include minor characters or characters who only said a sincere "sorry" once
repetitive "sorry"s were counted individually, and this accounts for most of our heavy-hitters: liandrin says "sorry" 5x after giving her son that herb and mat says "sorry" 7x after stabbing rand
rand has a few double "sorry"s, but never more than 2 in one sentence/exchange. so his 14 are because he really does say "sorry" a lot! 6 times in s1 and 8 times in s2
the absolute only time moiraine says "sorry" in the entire show so far is when she's pretending to be a frightened noblewoman with the whitecloaks in 1x02. siuan has never said it. queen shit.
Thoughts on this piece of information about the forsaken in season 3
I can't wait to see just how crazy Moghedien, Asmodean, and Graendal are gonna be in the show I just can't freaking wait. I live for unhinged characters.
I don't know what a Cylon or Battlestar Galactic is but I'm sute that this just means we are gonna be looking at a background character and not even know they are a forsaken. I hope they don't use the alias that the forsaken used in the books because book readers know who that person is automatically. I hope they use names where it not only confuses non book readers but also book readers as well.
