They're not canon at all - Lanfear's explicitly stated in the books to be stronger than all the Forsaken other than Ishamael, while this chart has her as weaker than all the male Forsaken (and also Narishma lol).

Mac Arrowny 11/29/21 1:08:54 PM #55:	The Companion's self-contradictory too - it says Nicola and Cadsuane have the same strength in one entry, for example, while they're ranked differently on the chart. There's a whole bunch of other stuff in there that contradicts the books. It seems like they were based on some of Jordan's notes, which he wrote before writing the actual books. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. <cite>Mac Arrowny posted [p:960459447] in Wheel of T...

Seanchan 12/09/21 9:49:49 PM #57:	Episode 6 was a big hmmmm from me. Some book comparisons but nothing spoilery: I enjoyed the Aes Sedai drama and interactions. I feel like they've done a good job with this for the most part. ~~How exactly did Moiraine get to Siuan? I can't imagine it's Traveling but would have liked an explanation or at least a throwaway comment. Were they in Siuan's quarters or back someplace in Tear?~~ ~~In the books any Moiraine/Siuan relationship was more implied than anything else. Not a big deal but I wonder if they'll still go in the book's direction with Thom. I'm guessing not.~~ They really took some liberties with the Waygate. I thought it was actually in Tar Valon but that's not a big deal. What IS a big deal is that they changed how they work!

They're supposed to be able to "feel" another channelers strength just by being close to them.~~ Not sure anyone else is still watching... --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! <cite>Seanchan posted [p:960776001] in Wheel of T...

Of course it always made sense there would lesbian relationships in an entirely female organization filled with powerful, driven women. I don't think all the supposed "pillow friends" were lovers though. It think it was also used as a somewhat disparaging term for women in the Tower who kept close confidence with one another. But also I mean it in the sense that there were no explicit sex scenes between them. Although I read recently that there was a point where they kissed in New Spring?

Seanchan 12/29/21 7:36:02 PM #89:	Finally got around to the finale..and oooooooooh boy... Here's some thoughts on the episode: ~~A sa'angreal, really? I'm pretty sure he does get the little fat man figurine later on in the books, I guess.~~ ~~Pretty sure LTT is never referred to as the Dragon Reborn, just the Dragon. Also that's not the dragon symbol from the books...~~ ~~Pretty sure they didn't know about the Dark One until AFTER their failed experiment (aka The Bore). Before that they just sensed "something".~~ ~~They mentioned in the behind the scenes that the man at the Eye was a Forsaken but make no mention in the actual show.~~ ~~Some of the scenes with Ishamael and Rand were kinda neat, I guess.~~ Did that scene of Rand giving up his life with Egwene happen in the books at any point? Pretty sure the opposite happens to Egwene when she goes through the Rings, though that might have just been Nynaeve. ~~Did Egwene bring Nynaeve back from the dead?!?~~ The whole linking in general was not great. Maybe Egwene can channel somewhat on demand but Nynaeve has never been shown to be in control of when she channels. Also, the FUCK with just the 5 of them standing out there and killing every fucking Trolloc and Fade. ~~Guessed it was going to be the Horn before they brought it out.~~ ~~I guess Loial is dead? Death by budget...~~ ~~Perrin seemed completely unafraid of the Fades...~~ ~~I wasn't really expecting it but this clinches that that Aelfinn/Eelfinn/Tower of Ghengi stuff isn't going to happen.~~ ~~Seanchan! Yay...maybe?~~ I'm probably missing some other big things. I've tried taken a moment to breathe because it's quite a departure from the books. You watch the behind the scenes for the episode and, it kinda helps a bit, but it's still tough as a book reader. The broader point is it's an adaptation and they needed to change things up for dramatic/budget/whatever reasons. The books are still the books and I can try to still enjoy the TV series. Going to be fun to dive into what the WoT subreddit thought about this, lol. I can almost guarantee a super negative "done with this series" reaction. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! <cite>Seanchan posted [p:961315088] in Wheel of T...
