  • Baggy clothes will mostly handle any pain, just be very good with goggles and follow rules for minimum ranges where applicable. Worst injury I ever got from an airsoft pellet is a tiny scar on my knuckle I received coming around a corner in front of someone shooting. Maybe 2’ away and it looked liked I had picked a scab there. The further away you are the less it will sting until you hit a range where you have to listen for them hitting your clothes instead of feeling them





  • I had a whole essay typed out and accidentally backed out, so I’ll just say that I love a lot of the changes the show has made but the author is doing a real disservice to the books. Early in the books Nynaeve is comedic at various points with her anger, but her arc is incredible and I hear and read people saying its almost impossible to finish the series without loving Nynaeve. She starts the books using anger to mask her insecurity, and finishes with the confidence that lets her condemn the tower as an institution moments after they raise her to the shawl. She is an iconoclast, a bleeding heart, and she has a CV to make Cadsuane humble.

    I was really kind of looking forward to Erith, but I guess they’re more or less cutting the Ogier. I’m not sure though, I wouldn’t put it past them to bring him back, either as I heard from a friend as a hero of the horn since the theme played during his ‘death’, or just as himself through some other means.

    With the big spoiler aside I really enjoyed this one as well. Perrin’s return Arc pretty boiled down to bare essentials, but it works. I really like Perrin and Faile onscreen, feels like they have good chemistry.

    Spoiler

    Curious if/how they’re going to do their wedding. Perrin actually succeeding at giving himself up is interesting. Maybe we’ll get Morgase in judgement sooner than expected, though she doesn’t fit as well since his murder didn’t occur in Andor now. Maybe Perrin’s army is already starting to form up instead of waiting for an age to wrap up that arc.

    More or less everything but the one bit spoiler I liked. I’ve seen some people say that Maksim is getting focus because the actor is involved with the showrunner, but he’s a fine character and I don’t particularly mind his importance. If they merge Alanna and Myrelle he will keep coming up to some degree so its good to establish his character.

    Spoiler

    Really hoping they don’t kill him to sell Alanna’s mental state before she bonds someone against their will.
