The show is entering a peak period for the fandom, heading into the season finale. This episode and the next, more than any other, will determine how this show progresses from here.

We finally see our remaining Two Rivers folk make it to Tar Valon as Moiraine must deal with what happened to Logain and questions to what she's been doing out in the world. As our characters reunite, the mystery of the Dragon continues; Moiraine more at a loss than ever as to who could be The Dragon Reborn. We discuss our thoughts on the episode and then dive into what we liked, didn't like, and what we expect going into the final episodes based on our knowledge of the source material.

    Dragons, Daggers, Dreams

    The Dragon Reborn is the fourth episode in The Wheel of Time series on Amazon Prime Video and it has left Clayton and Jesse seeing a new light after last week's premier. This week we discuss the episode in detail before diving into book series comparisons. The format changes slightly from last week as we break up discussion of the show and discussion of the book into two sections of the show.
