This is the best antagonist, hands down.
However, the season doesnt officially have a Big Bad that its characters can rally against.
Theres the spectre of the Last Battle, sure but against whom, exactly?
Amazon Prime
We havent technically met the Dark One; weve only seen his minions and influence.
Shes something of a likeable deuteragonist at this point, unlike Fares Fares Ishamael in Season 2.
A series likeWheel of Timespins thanks to Zoroastrian themes of Good vs.
It feels strange not to have a visible Big Bad.
Not that it matters; theres plenty happening to make up for this vacuum.
And yet, wouldnt it be nice if someone stepped up to the plate?
Moghedien inThe Wheel of Time
Like, say, Moghedien?
We havent seen much of her, but Moghedien has left an impression.
When she does emerge from the shadows, she is terrifying.
When she squashes Liandrins assistant in Episode 6, she mimics the latters terror and pain with ironic glee.
When she uses Compulsion on Nynaeve and Elayne, she feigns indulgent motherly curiosity with unnerving flair.
She also comes steeped in some random and fascinating lore.
With Moghedien, on the other hand, I dont even want to see her face.
Her overly symmetrical bangs alone are enough to make my body tense up.
For a villain, thats a good thing.
Thats why we need more of her.
kindly do not visit me in the Dream World at this time.
