In the main opening sequence, we meet Liandrin ( Kate Fleetwood), a Red Aes Sedai who is chasing down a man who can channel with her fellow sisters. Moiraine is an Aes Sedai, an exclusive organization made up of women who can harness the magic of the world which is called the One Power. In the interest of those who haven’t read the books, I’ll keep my recaps to minimum spoilers on the books, but I will point out any major changes if there are some that come up. This adds a bit of intrigue as we eventually discover who is in the running to gain the title. ![]() The Dragon Reborn, once known in the books as a boy, is now a child of any gender. Right off the bat, The Wheel of Time kicks off its series inspired by Robert Jordan‘s series with a big change. As it happens, the Dragon has been reborn and Moiraine is on a mission to find that reborn child before the Dark forces do. “Leavetaking” opens with an introduction to the world of the story, with Rosamund Pike‘s Moiraine narrating the story of her world, one that has been broken by a man that is called the Dragon. The Wheel of Time starts with “Leavetaking”, written by Rafe Judkins (who also serves as showrunner) and directed by Uta Brieswitz. The Wheel of Time debuted their first three episodes together, therefore this recap will reference events that happened in the first three episodes. ![]()
