The Lord Bude posted:First bathing scene in the book is the Rand, Mat, Perrin and Lan in the Inn when they get to Baerlon. Then after that we get the 3 boys being embarrassed about mixed sex public baths in Shienar. I hope they don't discriminate with the male nudity like most shows do. There's not a lot of nudity after this IIRC? Some people being taken gai'shain by the Aiel, and Elayne bathing, I can't recall more instances right now.

Most of the rituals involving women "require" being nekked. For example, women are naked when they travel to Rhuidean, while men are not. Aes Sedai are naked when they are tested to become Accepted and Aes Sedai. Women are naked when they undergo the sister bond ceremony.

Pretty sure there’s a fight in either book 4 or 5 where mat ends up fighting in the nude because they were ambushed in the night. Then you have book 5 where Rand chases Aviendha through the gateway into the snow. Also basically all of the spanking.

There's also the aiel sauna tents which are supposedly co-ed but only seem to include women. Also I think the third book has a scene where Perrin walks in on Moiraine just chilling naked for some reason. I can't be arsed to look it up and maybe it made more sense but I recall it being a bit of a "wait what?" moment.

You've got Berelain trying to seduce Rand in Tear, naked spearfighters waking up to fight shadowspawn multiple times, the sweat tents, all the lady trips to Rhuidean, Aviendha every night after she's ordered to stay in Rand's tent (and him eventually "catching" her), Mat and Melindhra's massage sessions - I'm sure there's more even in books 4 and 5 because the Aiel LOVE being naked. It kind of worries me that I remember all this, but I guess I did first read these books as a horny teenager. aparmenideanmonad fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Oct 15, 2019 |

Yeah, in all seriousness I hope they learned from GOT that you don't need constant gratuitous nudity to get people to watch these shows... ...but on the other hand this really needs a followup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI0K3TdS_Yk

Right, just because the only important people in the sweat tents were all women doesn't mean there couldn't be dudes in the background. I wonder how they would portrait "Ta'veren television", where all of the three boys could see images of the other two just by thinking of them. I was just reminded of this when I recalled that Mat saw Rand shaving one time, which would be another "opportunity" to show a half-naked guy.

I think Mat and Perrin also catch Rand being a very naughty Two Rivers lad a few times in stunning Ta'veren'o'vision. It'll all just come down to if the production wants naked dudes or not.

Like did X see Y in a vision and then go, "Oh poo poo I gotta get to Y immediately"? To the best of my poor memory, it was always just like a "Huh I wonder Y is up to" sort of thing that never proved meaningful -- if so, then I'm sure this would just be scrapped for TV.

It's not really plot critical at any point. It's generally just used as a device to get the POV to introspect about the other two.

Later on Mat starts seeing "the colors", which serve as a sign that he really needs to meet up with Rand. There's alternate ways to do that, so it could reasonably be axed. For that matter, the entire thing could be handled by a purely outside view - just have one of them shake their head and mutter from time to time.

Book 9, 10 and 12 spoilers: Both in Mat's and Perrin's camps, the channelers get pretty upset when they sense the Cleansing. Mat and Perrin experience a pretty violent vision of Rand sitting in front of Nynaeve, and deduce that it's not actually the Forsaken doing god knows what, but the Dragon Reborn doing it, which makes it nothing to worry about. Also, in The Gathering Storm, Nynaeve prods Rand to tell her what he can about Perrin, but he only knows that Perrin is near a certain statue that he doesn't recognize. She goes back to Cadsuane with the information, who uses the description of the statue to locate Perrin's camp and fetch Tam. Which results in that meeting between Tam and Rand in which Rand nearly kills his father.

Thom has to be grizzled, spry (before the limp), and somehow not too old for moiraine to find a tasty snack. I've never quite been able to picture it.

Yea like a more spritely Gandalf without the beard. So I think Patrick Stewart with a mustache is probably right. e; Also, like Carry Elwas' Old Man Disguise in Robinhood: Men in Tights:

If they do nudity just do it like Spartacus. There was a good comprise there between male and female nudity. In fact they just need to make more Spartacus, or I need to sit down and watch it again.

Been rereading the first book during my downtime at work. Is the altercation between the whitecloaks and Rand the first time he manifests the One Power? Tried looking for it earlier in the book but this seems like the very first instance.

Tried looking for it earlier in the book but this seems like the very first instance. He's not using the Power. This and the headache are the after effect of him using the Power on Bela. It's cleverly hidden (especially since he attributes the headache to the dream), but Moraine explains what happens when you channel for the first time to Nynaeve a few chapters later.

He's getting up there but he seems to be in good health, still handsome enough to pull your girlfriend, and the guy can still grow a hell of a mustache. I mean, just look at these and tell me that doesn't look like Thom:
