Okay but the CLEVERNESS of using the little girl as the PoV for our first glance at the Dark Friend Social. The way it lets them drop hints while keeping everyone's identity obscured and hidden. The way it keeps from giving away to much information to quickly to the viewer. The way it lets us see the Shadow from an outsider perspective, and at the same time see the Shadow working it's tendrils to convert and twisted someone to their way of thinking.

#a lot of the reason the bors scene works in the books is because the medium can't convey things that would help the reader #unless he also knows about them #so things like voice and face #mannerisms and tics #can't come through to tip off the reader in the same way they might in a visual medium #on reread it's easy to pick ingtar and weairmon out of that crowd #to guess at Liandrin and Alviarian's presence #but on first blush we had no idea #this preserves that and with it the fear that anyone could be a darkfriend #anyone could be serving the shadow #quite neatly #wot #Wot on prime #wot s2 #wot book spoilers #tgh spoilers
