Wheel of Time(lines) - Thalia - 09-16-2020
This is interesting

I agree with the premise of the video. Well done.
There is some controversy and debate about the timing of the re-discovery of channeling, regarding whether that began the 2nd Age or not. For instance, the rediscovery of channeling is an age-turning worthy event. If our current world in 2020 is 7th age, then the rediscovery heralds the beginning of the first age. if our current world in 2020 is 1st age, then the rediscovery of channeling would mark the beginning of the 2nd age. I was of the group of folks who think the modern world as it exists now is 7th age.
I love that we have backstories for things like the Horn of Valere and portal stones. Maybe we'll get some attention someday out of it.

Also, esteemed scientist Danika Zayed recently postulated a scientific theory that can explain the 'resetting' of the wheel. Maybe she should discover more, as it was mentioned in the video.

*nod*
The series is going to cover each of the ages, so it'll be curious to see what they come up with that may be the same or differ from the ideas we have here.

I hope not. I like the mystery of the other ages. Being in the show will effectively canonize their vision among the fanbase.
I suppose this is what every fan of a book goes through when their beloved story is transformed for the screen.

Oh, sorry, I meant this series of fan youtube videos is going to ruminate on the other ages in other videos, not the Amazon prime series.
RE: Wheel of Time(lines) - Ascendancy - 09-17-2020
Oh! That's great. I couldn't figure out how Amazon Prime was going to incorporate other Ages in the story. haha
