This Twitter thread has a good compilation of takeaways from Rafe's latest interview, including a hint that season 2 might be coming later. Rafe said there'd be a gap between LOTR and season 2, which might point to early 2023?

Iirc, in the Dusty Wheel episode 8 watch with Brandon Sanderson, he said that they had to scramble to rewrite the last two eps. So, I'm guessing quite a bit?
Also, I just learned that RJ said some ages did spin out a female equivalent of the dragon. Not the same soul, but a female hero who would be the champion in the last battle. That seems to me close enough to the dragon being potentially male or female to make this change an acceptable jump from...

There's a short interview with RJ at the end of the audiobooks where he talks about some parts of the books being a response to Lord of the Rings. I don't have a transcript on hand, but to my memory he says something about how he wanted to rethink the idea of how a farmer plucked out of...
I just tell myself that LOTR is one of the many mythologies from our world that get remixed into the turning of the wheel we see in Wheel of Time. :lol
I don't know how I feel about this scene! I think it will feel more right in context, when we see it halfway through the first episode. The first time I watched it, I was worried it might be a bit... overdone? Specifically Moiraine and Lan's entrance and dialogue. But, my partner, who hasn't...
