Natasha O'Keeffe as Lanfear || The Wheel of Time S2 BTS

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sharon Gilham’s costume design for Selene / Lanfear is amazing

“Moghedien’s insane, Graendal’s a vain idiot, and the boys couldn’t execute a plan if they were under compulsion.”

Wheel of Time "Damane"

i guess it’s pretty clear now that i am a total slut for wheel of time and am ecstatic that a show is in production right now that fits my visions when i read and that i have the ability to fill in where the show lacks. i adore this show. i adore the characters and have great faith that things will play out in a major way. i mean look at rand and selene in the last episode Daughter of the Night (S2E4)! It was incredible! And so much more is on the way, I have that truth secured to me. Let us indulge in this telling, WOT Friends. Let us sop it up as if we were a thirsty biscuit needing gravy.

Kinda awesome watching WOT fandom explode with Lanfear (Natasha) love….even though she is an amoral physicist who drilled into a black hole and discovered true evil/power (they are the same) and is still obsessed with her reincarnated ex boyfriend many thousands of years later. Haven’t watched her eps yet but gonna assume Natasha O’Keeffe is going all in on the micro nuance on this one

Natasha O’Keeffe absolutely served that change from Selene to Lanfear like from when she opened her eyes you could tell some next level shit was about to go down

Hello hello Ria is back with a thought about Wheel of Time episode 207, Daes Dae’Mar. Show and book spoilers below.

I’ve watched an unseemly number of reaction videos and something I haven’t seen anyone talk about is Lanfear’s little second of self awareness as she’s burning the Foregate. And look I get it, there’s a lot going on. The fires. The screaming. That gown. The perfection of Natasha O’Keeffe’s smirk.

And amongst all that, there’s this little moment:

I went back and looked at the closed caption just to make sure I heard her right. Because she sounds BORED, and also… tired? Resigned?

It’s like, for all she sees Rand and his youth and inexperience as her opportunity to finally - FINALLY - get the partner and love she deserves, there’s this tiny sliver of her that knows Ishy is right: people come and go but the soul inside them is constant every time it’s spun out into the pattern. And the soul of Lews Therin Telamon will never love her. Not the way she wants.

And yet here she is. Jumping when he calls. Razing the world to the ground for the hope that THIS time he will. That this act of violent devotion will make the difference. It makes me wonder how many times, before and during the War of Power, she saddled up for him only to have that hope dashed.

And I love that I’m wondering that.

I’m not saying that Lanfear was Good, Actually, or that she’s a victim of Lews Therin. She wasn’t. And she’s not. But the LAYERS the show is giving her are just. *chefs kiss*

i actually cannot cope with how cute and adorable she is ✨🥺✨

Also joining the cast in S2 are Natasha O’Keeffe and Meera Syal

Their roles haven’t been confirmed yet, but they will apparently be playing some of “the most important characters in the whole book series.” Anybody have theories? 👀
