This sparks a dangerous, world-spanning journey.

Based on the book series by Robert Jordan.

Was that a scripted moment, or was that something spontaneous that just kind of happened during the scene?

FARES FARES: Oh, me and Rand…it was scripted.

So we maybe grew [it] more than it was, but that particular thing was scripted.

Do you remember any of the other things that you played around with in that scene?

Set in a high fantasy world where magic exists, but only some can access it, a woman named Moiraine crosses paths with five young men and women. This sparks a dangerous, world-spanning journey. Based on the book series by Robert Jordan.

Anything that you tested out to see how it would go?

All that stuff was stuff that we did on the day.

A lot of it comes through in those scenes with you and Natasha together.

I loved working with Natasha.

We had a great chemistry.

Although they had different goals, they were very close friends also with Lews.

You would be very close and just relaxed, and it was fun.

They were fun scenes to work on.

Not really seeing a ton of reasons why this wouldn’t be an excellent idea for me, personally.

Ishamael knows at some point that Lanfear’s going to betray him.

He says as much by the end of the season.

FARES: So that’s one of the reasons, it’s a huge reason.

Maybe he just felt lonely, he wanted Lanfear right there.

Ishamael’s plan was to work on all of Rand’s friends, and eventually get Rand.

FARES: We had our dialogue coach.

She created the language, you could say.

It’s beautiful."

“What do you see?

The Wheel of Time

It’s nothing.”

It’s just nothing.

It was a lovely moment to shoot it as well.
