Wheel Takes

In this week's episode, Ali and Gus sprint through some of the more recap- and setup-laden early chapters of LORD OF CHAOS. Sulin wants Rand to have more guards; Mangin has a bad time; Egwene, Nynaeve, Elayne and Rand feel stuck.

~~~

Material covered in this episode: Chapters 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 of LORD OF CHAOS

This episode contains SPOILERS through Chapter 20 of LORD OF CHAOS

ERRATA: The Clan Chiefs are NOT present at the top of Chapter 19.

This episode has sporadic audio issues caused by a bad cable starting at the top of Chapter 19 that I was unable to remove in editing.

Ali and Gus are joined by dramaturg and theater director Nathan (non-reader) and author Bree (half of Kit Rocha, fully spoiled) to break down the thrilling finale to Season 1 of THE WHEEL OF TIME.

~~~

As the episodes of THE WHEEL OF TIME show release, Ali and Gus will be bringing their experience in the entertainment industry to the table to do an analysis of the adaptational choices made in the process of bringing THE WHEEL OF TIME from the page to the screen.

These episodes are broken into three categories:

1) "I am a show-only fan" - folks who have never picked up a WHEEL OF TIME book can listen to the first (and longest) part of our episodes, where we analyze the adaptation insofar as it covers what it has already covered in the books.
2) "I am a Wheel Takes listener" - folks who are current with our book discussion episodes can continue into our second section, where we discuss the long-term logic behind (and ramifications of) choices made by the adaptation as far as Ali has read.
3) "I'm fully spoiled" - folks who have finished THE WHEEL OF TIME can stick around for thoughts from Gus (and Bree) on the choices made by the adaptation from a fully spoiled perspective.

We do not recommend skipping sections wholesale, as each builds on what comes before it.

~~~

Ali simplified her breakdown of the roles in a writer's room. From top to bottom, they are:

• Showrunner
• Co-Executive Producer
• Supervising Producer
• Producer
• Co-Producer
• Executive Story Editor
• Story Editor
• Staff Writer

~~~

Show material covered in this episode: S1E8 - "The Eye of the World"

CHECK YOUR PODCAST PLAYER'S CHAPTERS FOR INFORMATION ON WHEN EACH SECTION STARTS - THE BELOW TIMESTAMPS DO NOT ACCOUNT FOR ADVERTISEMENTS, WHICH VARY IN LENGTH BY REGION

Part 1 of our discussion does NOT spoil any distinct show mysteries but discusses elements from the books without spoiling them.

Part 2 begins at 3:35:00 and contains SPOILERS through LORD OF CHAOS Ch10.

Ali's S2 predictions begin at 5:03:14

Part 3 begins at 5:50:25 and contains SPOILERS for the ENTIRE WHEEL OF TIME SERIES.

The epilogue begins at 6:57:30.
