Im Still Mentally Processing The Machin Shin Scene And How We Hear The Portion Of Moiraines Experience

I’m still mentally processing the Machin Shin scene and how we hear the portion of Moiraine’s experience first. How it’s the first 4.5 seconds of a whole 54 second sequence and, yes, it hurts to hear about murdering the kids probably, but her face remains dry-eyed and composed. That means that whatever it is we didn’t get to hear in the remaining 49.5 seconds of Machin Shin time is what shattered her will to live and broke her into the feral shell of a human that she becomes for the rest of the next two episodes. 

What else in fuck’s bloody name did she hear in the wind, I will never stop wondering.

Also Lorne Balfe: *makes an entire song about Siuan and releases it as a single before literally anything else*

Also Lorne Balfe: *writes a song literally called ‘on your knees’*

THE WORLD IS BROKEN.

“ many, many years ago, men who were born with great power believed they could cage darkness itself. the arrogance. when they failed, the seas boiled, mountains were swallowed up, cities burned, and the women of the Aes Sedai were left to pick up the pieces. these women remembered one thing above all else, the man who brought the Breaking of the World. and they named him Dragon. now, this man has been born again. we don’t know where or to whom. if he was reborn as a girl, or a boy. the only thing we know for certain is that this child is coming of age now, and we must find them, before the dark does… ”

- the opening sequence to the wheel of time aka moiraine sedai gets ready in a timely-but-very-dramatic manner.
