The generational difference in how they view what they read will become obvious (and entertaining, they hope!). Come enjoy our debates and explorations over what all these books mean, and see who you agree with.

Our girls in the White Tower are busily about the work of deciphering the Black Ajah mysteries in this episode - plenty of clues, very few answers. The result? Perhaps the World of Dreams may have some answers. We're going to see Egwene check that out here - and she definitely learns some things.

And we're cheering for them all, because we've seen many previous adaptations of much loved works in the past, with some being great, while many were not. We shall not even give The Shannara Chronicles the benefit of our attention, so bad was it - but in this episode, we talk about many of what we consider the best and worst adaptations. Have a

And now, for the first time in the series, we get Mat point-of-view chapters.
