Collider: There’s so much to talk about with Episode 4.
Nynaeve gets so many good things that I just want to jump right in.
ZOE ROBINS: Let’s do it.
Was that your first scene with Kate [Fleetwood], and what was that like to play through?
ROBINS: We might have had an ensemble group scene together.
I think we may have shot that in sequence, but I could be wrong.

That was two years ago, so my mind is all over the place.
She’s going to do her thing.
ROBINS: Yeah, I think so.

She’s had her own preconceived notions about the Aes Sedai for the majority of her life.
Disdain of them, I should say.
ROBINS: Rude, terrible timing.

Very rude and terrible timing.
I think I saw it as the first opportunity where the audience can see a softer side to Nynaeve.
I really enjoyed filming that.
Let’s put it this way: their first meeting with her putting the blade to his throat?
I think fans are already very excited about that whole first interaction.
That was quite fun, that was very fun.
Sometimes they make different versions for safety or for comfort.
You’ve got explosions going off, and some of those looked very real.
What was it like to film that?
I would say majority of those explosions were real, if not all of them.
Which as an actor, only heightens our performances and helps inform our choices and our reactions to everything.
What was the note for that moment, in terms of that scream that you have to do?
How did you go to that place to channel that?
Because it feels like such an explosion of emotion as well as magic.
ROBINS: The best way for me was to really believe the circumstances.
Seeing my amazing co-stars on the floor writhing in pain and dying certainly helped.
