The Dragon Reread

Here's a digressive episode for you! Jordan's romantic writing has us discussing consent, and we also contrast his curiously recurring characters with those of his arch-nemesis George R. R. Martin. Also, Perrin and Faile bicker a lot. Like, a lot.

Your hosts are Jeff Lake, Micah Sparkman, and Alice Sullivan.

A lot happens here! Selene finally clues Rand in on her true identity, Rand starts acting like a hero (good thing with all these Trollocs around), and Egwene learns to use the ultimate dream weapon: nudity.

Our heroes divide their time between recovering from the magic attacks, interrogating Darkfriends, and working out their relationship issues. Which one of those is the most important? Feelings, of course!

Here we go again! After some recaps and foreshadowing, we rejoin Rand and Co in the Stone of Tear, where there are strange goings-on.

Will Perrin defeat the twin threats of axe and metaphor? Will Mat stop stabbing his cards long enough to play them? And will Rand figure out what that half-naked lady in his bedroom is hinting at?

This is the big finish! All our story lines come together again as everyone chips in to help Rand prove that he's the Dragon Reborn (for the second time) and defeats Ba'alzamon (for the third time). Climactic!

Mat follows in Rand's (trespassing) footsteps in Caemlyn and finds himself riding to the rescue like the Big Damn Hero he keeps claiming not to be.

Meanwhile Egwene and Nynaeve start their investigation in Tear in the most obvious place: the local drug store.

Nynaeve and Egwene walk out of the last trap they walked into, then walk into another trap. Luckily, the last trap helps them out with the this trap so they can get back on their way to the trap they were walking into in the first place.

Also, Perrin arrives at an inn and kills a bunch of people... as usual.

Perrin gets a love interest! Of course, he hates the whole thing, just like he hates having awesome wolf powers.

Meanwhile, Egwene and friends walk into another trap. But it's a nice trap, full of friendship.

Egwene and Nynaeve get a new assignment: go walk into a Black Aja trap. Just like last time. But this time they know it's a trap, so that's better, right?

Also, Mat has become really good at rolling dice and killing people. In that order.

We finally get to Egwene's test to become Accepted, and we get an intriguing peek into her future. We also find out that Mat has been upgraded with significant staff fighting skills (though still not any social skills).
