Season two of The Wheel of Time is well underway, and Moiraine and Lan continue to be in a challenging place. When Ishamael cut Moiraine off from the One Power at the Eye of the World in the season one finale, it severed her bond to Lan. An Aes Sedai’s bond with her Warder closely connects them, to the point a Warder knows his Aes Sedai’s moods. It suddenly disappearing affects both Aes Sedai and Warder deeply. Season two began with Moiraine investigating broken cuendillar and keeping Lan in the dark. The split between them has grown wider with each passing episode, and now Moiraine is Cairhien after leaving Lan with Alanna.
While visiting Alanna’s family, Lan seemed to relax. He let his hair down, though it’s shorter than it was in Nynaeve’s possible future, and wore more comfortable-looking clothing. The hair, at least, is symbolic of Lan and Moiraine’s lack of relationship. The Wheel of Time’s hair and makeup designer Davina Lamont told Nerdist it was about representing that change in his character.
“It was about how Moiraine and Lan had gone to another place,” Lamont said. “Moiraine was kicked out of the White Tower, and so we had a more of a relaxed look for both of them for the first episode. Then they wanted to see Lan in an even more relaxed mode as well. So, for that it was taking his hair down. It was great to play with the length and the style for him and what that would look like. So yeah, I was glad that he got a new hairstyle. He [Daniel Henney] loves his long hair.”
Lamont joked that Henney wanted to wear the long hair all the time.
Director Thomas Napper told Nerdist more about Moiraine and Lan’s struggle. The pair is in crisis, complicated by Moiraine shutting Lan out. He said, “Their relationship is in a strange, broken place where they were almost like twins, to a point. It’s so interesting to explore these other aspects of the characters, that I felt coming into the show fresh for series two, that that was a really new aspect to the show, is to see the vulnerability and to see, I guess, the darker sides.”
New episodes of The Wheel of Time premiere on Fridays on Prime Video.

During today’s Walt Disney Studios presentation at Destination D23, the event was more an an overview of current new releases on the studio slate as opposed to new premieres and surprises of what is coming out of the studio.
There was a brief mention during the panel that Disney will release a collection of 100 animated movies as a part of a gift set that you can own. This is to celebrate the 100 years of Disney that the company is currently commemorating this year.
Clark Spencer, president of Walt Disney Studios kicked off the presentation with opening remarks about the history of Disney animation and the impact the company has had on audiences worldwide.
This was a great segue to introduce filmmakers Dan Abraham and Trent Correy to talk about their short film “Once Upon A Studio”. D23 attendees had the opportunity to screen the film which for Disney fans was incredible to experience. Bubbling with nostalgia the flick contains some of your favorite Disney characters from Mickey Mouse, Tiana from Princess and the Frog, Goofy, and so many more! The movie resonated with patrons from the D23 event so much that it received a standing ovation from the crowd.
Property master of such shows of The Mandalorian and Ahsoka chatted a bit about the construction and labor behind creating Ahsoka Tano’s lightsaber on the series. And while we didn’t get a sneak peek of any episodes beyond what the public has already seen, we did get a surprise from Josh and the team over at Ashoka where every attendee in the audience were given a pair of Ahsoka ears to take home with them.
Next up was Marvel Studios. There was a quick showing of the short “I Am Groot”. Season 2 just started streaming on Disney+ on September 6th. A quick clip was presented from the audience featuring an inquisitive Groot chasing after some ice cream. There was also a clip of the impending Nia DaCosta film The Marvels. Following that was executive producer Hevin Wright from Marvel Studios’ Loki.
The panel ends where it starts with animation and it ends with its latest anticipated animated film Wish. The film stars Ariana DeBose, Chris Pine, and Alan Tudyk. The movie Wish tells the story of Asha (DeBose), who makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force, a little ball of boundless energy called Star. Together, Asha and Star confront a most formidable foe—the ruler of Rosas, King Magnifico (Pine) —to save her community and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars.
The audience was able to screen 10 minutes of the film, and I must say the musical number is a bonafide earworm. I look forward to seeing this movie when its out in theaters.
