Rafe Judkins’ sodomitical concubine . . . I die. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 29/09/2023 04:22:09 PM

13:10 Are we ever getting any explanation for those mouthpieces?

“The damane have these gold mouth stoppers; that’s not in the books,” she says. “But when I was doing my research, one of the things I came across in pre-Aztec research information was an actual image of a big gold stopper, and I thought that was really cool. And it also suggests that the damane have been silenced and they are the slaves.”

Your explanation is that one person, who probably didn't read all the books, thought it was really cool. And some random words put together into a sentence that show the person understands nothing about Seanchan society. Which fits into the overall theme that the Seanchan are not here to reconquer what was lost, but to battle the Dark. Which, in the books, they didn't believe in since their portal monsters had effectively destroyed all the forces of the dark on that continent.

An explanation

I clicked on your link and now feel dumber as a result. damookster - 29/09/2023 04:48:41 PM 237 Views
Both the writer of that article and the creatives of the show are idiots. The Shrike - 29/09/2023 05:12:02 PM 216 Views
One can only hope damookster - 29/09/2023 05:27:06 PM 205 Views
Political considerations take priority over *everything* Tom - 29/09/2023 10:45:08 PM 229 Views
I mean, it's not like the show is good to people who subscribe to that political message, either. Legolas - 29/09/2023 11:59:35 PM 214 Views
Well, that's the problem with prioritizing political points Tom - 02/10/2023 01:58:14 PM 211 Views
The issues with the WOT creatives are the same as the Rings of Power creatives..... Anonymous2000 - 30/09/2023 03:40:33 PM 217 Views
I agree with this completely The Shrike - 02/10/2023 11:07:08 AM 213 Views

Rafe doesn't understand heterosexual males. The Shrike - 02/10/2023 02:39:15 PM 206 Views
Absolutely - Rafe's job should be..... Anonymous2000 - 03/10/2023 01:33:28 AM 242 Views
In some ways the same, but there's one very big difference... Legolas - 02/10/2023 05:40:34 PM 208 Views
Also. I am ready for Ishamael and Mat to get it on. The Shrike - 29/09/2023 04:31:21 PM 226 Views
Agreed on Lanfear! Anonymous2000 - 30/09/2023 03:48:03 PM 211 Views

So this version of Ishamael does have some positives... but his motivation is insomnia? Seriously? Legolas - 29/09/2023 09:31:43 PM 227 Views
Good point on Ishamael..... Anonymous2000 - 30/09/2023 03:36:25 PM 213 Views
But what's their long-term plan for him? Cannoli - 01/10/2023 04:53:39 AM 264 Views
That's a good question - but then, there is much less of a long term than in the books. Legolas - 02/10/2023 05:28:36 PM 208 Views
Judkins has supposedly said that this season is getting the characters into place for the Bk4 plots Cannoli - 03/10/2023 12:37:47 AM 220 Views
Why would Moiraine and Lan casually follow Lanfear into the Ways? Anonymous2000 - 30/09/2023 03:33:27 PM 196 Views
Because there is only one episode to get to Falme where the climax is scheduled *NM* Cannoli - 01/10/2023 04:39:40 AM 117 Views
