The new trailer for The Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime Season 2 is out! We discuss, breakdown, and analyze the trailer and the clues in the new trailer. We speculate on Rand al'Thor's journey, Why does he go to the White Tower? Where is Min? Where is Padan Fain and the Horn of Valere? Is that the Black Ajah we catch a glimpse of? Who is the creepy lady? Is it Lanfear? Lan and Moraine seem to argue a lot in the trailer. What is Mat up to with the dagger? Perrin and Aviendha together fighting Whitecloaks? Elayne is now a part of the show! Lots of questions and discussion about these things and more!

We dive into Book 2 of the Wheel of Time - The Great Hunt! We discuss the secret darkfriend meeting that we read about in the Prologue and we get some clues as to who are these mysterious darkfriends. Book 2 starts up about a month after the events of the last book and Rand is undecided about what to do next. We also discuss one of the Forsaken, Lanfear, and what her motivations are and why she aligned with the Dark One.

We review Chapters 45-49 in Book One of The Wheel of Time - The Eye of the World! The heroes barely escape the Ways and Machin Shin, then make their way to Fal Dara. At Far Dara they rest and prepare to enter the dreaded Blight and to find the Green Man and The Eye of the World! We discuss the Ways and Machin Shin and how the taint of saidin has corrupted the Ways. We speculate on what Machin Shin is and where it came from. We talk about Lan Mandragoran and how the Borderlanders revere him and why they keep asking him if the Golden Crane will fly again? We discuss The Blight and how it came to be. Also the Green Man and who he is and how he was created in the Age of Legends by the Aes Sedai and how the Green Men, the Nym, worked side by side with the Ogier. We discuss Padan Fain and how he has been following the group since they left the Two Rivers! This guy just won't give up!

The Fourth Ta'veren reviews Episode 8: The Eye of the World from Amazon Prime! This episode is the final episode of the season and is loosely based on the ending events of the book series The Wheel of Time - Book One: The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan. We discuss how the Rand decides to go to the Blight and find the Eye of the World by himself, but Moraine goes with leaving Lan behind. Lan and Nynaeve develop their relationship further. Padan Fain is in Fal Dara hiding out and ends up stealing the Horn of Valere with the help of some Myrddraal. Loial and Uno are killed?! Rand faces off with Ba'alzamon. The Battle of Tarwin's Gap is fought and Lord Agelmar is killed by Trollocs. Nynaeve, Egwene and some other women defeat the Trolloc Army, but suffer mortal wounds from using too much of saidar. What is going on? After a lot of unnecessary misdirection throughout the series, the show finally "reveals" who is the Dragon Reborn. lol In an alternate reality, taken from the Aes Sedai testing ceremony, Rand and Egwene live together and are happy with a baby living in the Two Rivers. Will Rand choose this story for himself or fight to save his friends? At the end we get a tease of Seanchan arriving at Falme. This is the first podcast video that we have done for The Wheel of Time, the previous episode reviews are audio only podcasts and can be found on our website and on iTunes. From here on out we will be doing video podcasts for all of our reviews!

Our heroes venture into the Ways to travel long distances in a short amount of time. But there is a cost, there is a danger in the Ways that hunts them! We get our first glimpse at who the Dragon Reborn might be…if you weren’t aware already. Also, Nynaeve shows how powerful she is in a Rafe Judkins addition to the story.

In this episode we meet the Amrylin Seat herself, Suin Sanche. Suin and Moraine catch up on their plan to find the Dragon Reborn before the bad guys do. The Emond’s Field Five reunite in Caemlyn…oh wait in Tar Valon and decide where to go next. The group heads to the nearest Waygate and there’s a surprise ending when one of the group decides to stay behind.

We journey to Tar Valon with the Emond's Fields Five as they have split up, but still continue on their journey to the White Tower. We see the White Tower and Tar Valon up close and see the Aes Sedai in their element.
