![]() It was this moment where I just felt like when I was reading the books - and there were multiple books out at the time when I first started reading them - I was like, "Oh my gosh! All these pages are full of things like this, and I haven't read them yet. It had an emotional depth to it that also suggested an epic quality to this world. For me, it was one of the first moments that I fell in love with the books, with the Manetheren story. Judkins: I love the moment when they're on the horses and they sing the Song of Manetheren and then Moiraine tells the story. I saw that scene too and it looks pretty real to me. I actually love those kinds of scenes where it becomes so physical. Stradowski: What's so lovely about this show is when you read such a thing in the script, you can trust that it will in the end look good. The only sell of the series is: do you want to follow these people out of this town into what awaits them? For me, that was the key thing we had to do was get you invested enough in those characters that you wanted to watch the next episode because of that and that was a key moment of the pilot. We don't say there's a big shadow city around the corner. Rafe Judkins, Showrunner: My feeling was in that final scene when the core four ride out of Emond's Field following Moraine and Lan, you need to be emotionally invested enough in them that you want to see what happens next because we don't tell the audience anything about what happens next. On the scene they needed to land in the series pilot: Having that scene in the first episode was something that was quite pivotal for the character. It gets right to the core of an inner conflict that he has between the sort of animalistic strength that he has within him, but also this gentle giant side and civilized demeanor that he has. It establishes his relationship with violence that he carries out throughout Season 1. Marcus Rutherford, Perrin Aybara: There's a particular scene with Perrin during the battle sequence that happens in the first episode. It's a beautiful way to set up their dangerous journey that they're going on. Josha Stradowski, Rand al'Thor: One of my favorite moments of that first episode was a moment of Michael (McElhatton), who plays Rand's father, when he talks about the Wheel of Time and about life, basically. ![]() She obviously cares for her and I don't think she really enjoys throwing her off cliffs. But if you're watching intensely, you can see that she is breaking character in a way because she loves Egwene so much and the ceremonial tone of it all drifts away a little bit because she really, really wants Egwene to do well. Nynaeve is the wisdom of the two rivers and she's done this type of ceremony over and over and over and over again. Zoe Robins, Nynaeve al'Meara: I actually think the initiation scenes that we filmed for Egwene's coming into the women's circle really showed the relationship and the dynamic between the two characters in a really beautiful light. That was one of the first weeks of shooting so it felt like an initiation into The Wheel of Time. That was a really important moment for Egwene and also an important moment for me. I think this is a moment she's been waiting for her entire life and it's such a huge test of mental and physical strength, surviving that bungee jump of sorts and then her journey down the river and learning to just trust the river and go with the river which is to trust yourself and just go with the flow. Madeleine Madden Egwene al'Vere: Egwene's big character arc moment is obviously her initiation into the women's circle. On the opening scene with Egwene's trial: **Spoiler Warning: If you haven't read either the book or have seen the series, stop reading now.** We tackle some key scenes in the first three episodes that were some of their favorites in terms of conveying their characters and the spirit of Robert Jordan's books to a new audience.
