Love the trailer! I've probably seen it 10-15 times now between my own views and watching others react or live stream to it.
I am incredibly hyped to see Nynaeve's episode dealing with those arches; it looks like she comes out of it with two wounds in her abdomen and I can't wait to see how that goes down. Also, Perrin fighting Whitecloaks - it's going to be badass to see the antagonism between he and they ratchet up a notch.
Other highlights/observations
No sign of Padan Fain (unless it was super subtle)
Turak v. Rand is going to be epic
Dude with flaming sword killing a fade, wtf is going on there (I need to know)!?!?
Egwene's face @1:02 in the trailer, she's wearing some unfortunate neckwear and looks in bad shape
Whitecloaks or Heroes riding through the dust/smoke @1:22???
Rand meeting Siuan (so glad we're getting this scene!) - does Lan teach him Cat Crosses the Courtyard?
Aviendha looks deadly as hell in combat from the brief glimpses
Very excited to see what the great writers, actors, and other crew members have put together for us lucky fans. I hope they get what they've rightfully earned by their hard work, solidarity with WGA and SAG-AFTRA all day.
Just a few thoughts and facts.
Large consensus says he's a specific person at the table at the Social.
Awwww yeah. My second favorite part of the trailer behind "cuddle time".
I really hope so. I missed this until my third watch and hearing someone say "wow, that's one cocky swagger" when it clicked exactly what it was.
Of course, how did I not think of that! Thanks, I was thinking about Bors and some of the other characters that might have been there, but totally forgot Fain. Time to zoom in on that shot to see some more details, lol.
My latest thought is: what scenes shown in the trailer are more TDR than TGH? That scene near the end with Mat driving his spear into something (or someone) is immediately followed by an explosion at what looks like a castle or fortress - if those shots are actually connected, then this is very reminiscent of his activities near the end of TDR. But other than that, most every scene I recognized looked to be from TGH (which is not necessarily a bad thing, since I think TGH has more television-friendly moments in it throughout than TDR does).
It definitely feels a lot more TGH to me. I think we're only getting a nod to TDR and some Aiel in Falme.
I'll live, though. It's still gonna be great.
