*WARNING* THIS PODCAST CONTAINS BOOK AND SHOW SPOILERS. AND THIS EPISODE DESCRIPTION PROBABLY DOES TOO, TBQH

If we had to pick one word to describe this episode of Pod of Time (and we don't), it might be "satisfaction". Total delight and utter satisfaction. If you can't tell, Nicole and Jackie are very VERY into the romance introduced in this episode -- and just about everything else that "The Flame of Tar Valon" had to offer.

Do they have opinions? Yes. Rewrites? Oh, of course. But this...this was a good one. We both got romance. Jackie got her world-building (in a bathhouse no less!) and Nicole got the reunion we were all hoping for. Plus, we add segments! Actual segments! Getting Randy is back along with Highs and Lows, Storyline Breakdown and even a Hot Take. If you're on the fence about downloading, get off the fence because this is a good one. Also, that fence *can't* be comfy.

We're over halfway through, how can this BE? Someone find us a Waygate and, as Coldplay so eloquently put it, "Take me back to the start!"

Actually, don't because one of our esteemed hosts of us LOVED this episode.  And one of them felt "fine" -- you can probably guess which opinion goes with which host. Listen as they fangirl over Zoe Robbins, male intimacy, talk ogiers, and weddings! Nicole makes some bold (and pretty sound) predictions while Jackie tries desperately not to spoiler-vomit everywhere. It's harder than it seems! She's sick with spoilers!

Welcome to Nicole's favorite episode so far, The Dragon Reborn! We meet Logain (aka false Jesus), deposit some more Lan/Nynaeve moments in the bone bank, and analyze initial fan reactions to Episodes 1-3. Jackie dove into the bad part of Reddit to research and came up covered in bad opinion juice.  Gross. But so fun to dissect. Give it a listen!

And, speaking of listening...yeah, we had some technical difficulties on this one. The wheel just wasn't having it this week and wove some major issues on Jackie's end. Or perhaps a Darkfriend was skulking around, pulling on wires? We may never know!

Episode 3 and the opinions are CHANGING! Join Nicole (never read the books) and Jackie (loves them) as they talk fireworks, boning, DANA DANA DANA, and Nicole's new opinion on Perrin. And Dana some more. They really, really liked Dana and really, really do *not* like knives in the throat of female characters we love.

Episode 2 sees our heroes heading into Shadar Logoth while Nicole heads into...love? With the show? 

Jackie (longtime WoT fan) and Nicole (never read 'em) discuss brutality, set design, titles sequences and whether or not Rand is a big snooze.  Plus, Nicole reveals what scene made her cry (HINT: it's the one you think). Yes, Episode 2 was a biggie and the feelings are similarly large. Stick around the whole time and you'll hear the first edition of Getting Randy, a segment where Jackie forces Nicole to guess who will 'bone' at some point in the show.
