22. "The Road to the Spear" (The Wheel of Time S3E4)

Man, what a season finale! From Pennywise the Dancing Fox to the destructive force of balefire, from Nynaeve's Moana moment to the creepiest corpse I've seen, from Rand dancing on a knife's edge of egomania & madness to the end of two separate years-long relationships of Power-crossed lovers, this was a huge episode. Join Greg and Veronica as they EXTENSIVELY talk about all things "He Who Comes With the Dawn" related, and close out another turning of the Wheel. This is a long one, and we hope you enjoy hearing about it as much as we enjoyed talking about it. Thank you for all of your interaction this season, we will come back when we hear an update to how the next few seasons will go. And due to a technical faux pas, we want to apologize that we are missing a number of comments from a "too early" spoiler thread, so unfortunately we lost those comments to the Black Wind.

With what seems like a closeout of the Two Rivers this season, we got a pretty intense battle scene, some pretty badass weather manipulation, some sweet, sweet revenge, and a goodbye that shocked us pretty good. Join Veronica and Greg as they delve into the episode and explore the emotional moments, badass or otherwise, in the episode. ONE EPISODE LEFT THIS SEASON!!!

The Hills of Tanchico are alive!!! From the newest catchy TV show song to everyone speaking WAY LOUDER THAN THEY SHOULD, from the Forsaken being disgustingly petty to kinda of, well, easy to take out, to a heartrending scene of power and helplessness, there was a lot to talk about here! And talk we did. Hear Veronica and Greg as they are joined by Cristin's unique perspective as they discuss why some shows deserve (or need) a rewatch, and break down all their likes, dislikes, suspicions, and critiques of the episode!

We knew there would be a dropoff, but this episode still had some good stuff! From MORE POWER THAN MOIRAINE EVER DREAMED to Dreamwalking, From Sea Folk to Seasickness, from a bad breakup to being a bad bitch, this episode had quite a bit to talk about. Join Veronica and Greg as they break it down, discussing what they liked, what they didn't, what made sense, and where logic completely broke down. Thanks for all of the feedback, everybody!

Deep breath...WHEW!!! THAT was a landmark episode. From discovering Rand's ancestors knew and remembered "the Song", to delving deep into the history and lore of the Aiel's beginnings, to watching Moiraine be brutally *spoiler deleted* over and over again, this was a wicked emotional rollercoaster. SPOILER ALERT: We loved it!!! Join Veronica and Greg as they dig deeper into the lore of this world than Mierin punched through the Pattern, exploring a ton of the minutiae of the episode, and still probably leaving bloody stones unturned. Hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did!

Pretty solid end to an entertaining beginning of the season! From sympathy for Liandrin (WHAAAT?!?!) to Mat embracing his fortune, from Perrin "doing what he has to" to Lan not forgetting his father battle, this episode was just as dense with payoffs and lore as the first 3 this season. Join Greg and Veronica as they break it down, answer some questions, posthumously realize their idiocy, and generally enjoy geeking out on the episode.

Well...THAT escalated quickly. From that brutal opening inauguration, to meeting the Andoran royal family, to Perrin's unwelcoming homecoming, to Egwene finding out she may NOT want her dreams to come true, Veronica and Greg break down this middle opening episode. We had some nitpicks, for sure, but we enjoyed it and couldn't wait to get to the last of the opening three. Hope you enjoy! Check out this podcast and other great shows at podcastica.com.

Boy, it's great to be back in this world! From the opening confrontation to what has to be the worst inn customer service, this episode really delivered on re-establishing the world and our characters place in it. In the White Tower, in the city of Tar Valon, it seems like our heroes will be going their separate ways again. Join Greg and Veronica as they both gush and condemn the season premiere!

Wow, what a season finale!! We have to admit, this was pretty elevated, and if we sound a little fanboy-ish about it...it's cause it was flipping awesome! Another Final Boss Battle! The band gets back together! Mat is a Hero of the Horn! Egwene goes full bad-a$$! The Dragon is Proclaimed! The stars aligned and Amazon really did something amazing with the end of this season, and you can tell the love and effort the show-makers put into the production. Enough glowing reviews, onto the show! Join Greg and Veronica as they break down this enjoyable season finale! And to all of the people who left feedback, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
