I am so, so here for a big epic fantasy where the heroes know they’re the heroes and act accordingly.

Yes, it’s great to see all our friends reunited once again, and the excitement builds as each of them makes their way to Rand and faces off against Ishamael. However, that final confrontation cannot save the rest of the episode.

Rated: 3/5

Season 2 of the Wheel of Time creaks to an unimpressive conclusion, with moments that should be triumphant or dramatic left empty because not enough time was spent building them up over the course of the season.

Rated: 6/10

The second season finale of The Wheel of Time achieved a lot with the plot, and it proved to be very exciting!

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

The Wheel of Time Season 2 Episode 8 is the best episode of the series...Finally delivering on its full potential...is a blistering episode that leans fully into its fantasy roots and allows the ensemble to reunite in a way that creates a heroic moment.
