I reblog many things related to shows I've watched in the past, collected under the 'fandom queue' tag.

Meta & Reread posts:

Getting Mat to Falme - some possible paths

This is going to have spoilers for pretty much all the information that we have for s2, as far as I'm aware of it, at least, plus also book spoilers through book 4: The Shadow Rising. I also used @markantonys's post (here) where she pulled together all the various photos & teasers that we've gotten as reference too, because it looks pretty solid to me, plus added some thoughts based on her post here as well.

Because Mat is the big person of mystery -- we know he gets to Falme but how and with who? -- I kinda wanted to lay out the four main potential paths that I see for him and assess my own feelings on their likelihood.

Some expanded thoughts, based on things people noted in the replies...

thinking ahead to s3, i hope they'll change elayne and nynaeve's black-ajah-hunting destination from tanchico to whatever city the waste gang will end up in after the waste (probably either tear so they can do the stone and callandor then since they couldn't fit it in pre-waste, or cairhien as in the books and callandor gets saved for even later since it WILL still be a while before it's needed story-wise). putting a read more because i kept thinking further and further into the story and seeing more domino effects!
