gaydal-cain: #ooooh #I like this take #could see her probing him before joining up #seeing what makes him tick #what sets his trauma off #to gauge his similarity to her LTT #before coming in as Selene to interact more directly
This is exactly what I’m hoping for! We didn’t get to delve into Rand’s issues much in s1 because they needed to introduce everyone and set up the world, but his mental state really needs to be established for s2 and on if major plot points are going to land. And who better to poke and prod the deepest recesses of his brain than the lovely Lanfear? Getting a feel for this new version of LTT before reintroducing herself would be very in character, after all.

So this still leaked,
and it’s definitely Natasha O’Keeffe-
Which means she’s probably not Elaida, as most had assumed. I think the general consensus from this shot is likely Lanfear and I think that’s right (though i’ve seen other theories). I certainly can’t imagine why Elaida would be decked out with black eyes and a bloody neck, and there’s no way they brought this actress in to play a small role.
The heavy blue filter implies a dream sequence or something- which makes sense for Lanfear. Maybe she’ll take over Ishy’s role of sending Rand visions this season? There’s also the possibility of a LTT flashback, which could help establish their relationship prior to her showing up in the current timeline..
But given the bloody neck and dark eyes, and the similarity of the posing to Dana’s death, I’m betting she’ll be playing on Rand’s trauma around watching people die around him- specifically women. I’ve been worried to see how they’ll deal with that on screen, but having Lanfear haunting his dreams to prey on that insecurity seems an excellent way to go!
