Re: Wheel of Time season 1 episode 8 "The Eye of the World" season finale

This scene with Lan was especially triggering for me. It reminded me of having to teach Gaidin Trik how to track. He kept letting bloody trollocs get away. I ended up explaining to him the secret tell how of how to track bloody trollocs (they leave highly noticeable bloody trails on the ground). Fr...

Re: Wheel of Time season 1 episode 8 "The Eye of the World" season finale

That was terribly upsetting. I've been trying to stay positive all season (there are plenty of good parts and things they did well) and hope that they'd stick the landing in the end and bring stuff together/justify decisions. This went the complete opposite way and not only failed to deliver, but ac...

Re: The Wheel of TIme Season 1 Episode 1, 2, 3 Discussion Thread

Very mixed for me but overall good. So many small issues that just add up, then several large ones. Funny enough, the disassemble lego Winespring Inn scene was one of the biggest cringeworthy scenes for me - and there were several. What the actual firetruck? Who thought that was a good idea and how ...

Re: WoT show to begin production this Fall!

Another pretty scathing one, https://variety.com/2021/tv/reviews/the-wheel-of-time-amazon-review-rosamund-pike-1235108135/ I think you nailed it, Ashlee. Most of these boil down to pacing issues and basically say that it is catering to fans but difficult for non-book readers to engage with. I'm good...

Re: WoT show to begin production this Fall!

That sure turned sideways quickly. I've limited my online following of the show to some degree due to gender issue arguments taking everything over - good to see these forums not disappoint :p https://www.ign.com/videos/the-wheel-of-time-the-dragon-and-dark-one-explained-ign-first Again - the showru...

Re: WoT show to begin production this Fall!

I loved it. It set a lot of my...skepticism? at ease. Still a little worried about Rand just because he's such a foundational character that he really needs to be Rosamund Pike-level to deliver. Rosamund is so amazing, the rest could all be crap and I'd still watch it and not be too upset. She did a...

Re: WoT show to begin production this Fall!

It looks sci-fi/trekish to me :p And who's idea were the stashes? KKK is a good association, they're obviously going for a visible, male-supremacist look. It probably works? Too soon to judge, but hopefully they pull it off. It'd be pretty hilarious if the fantasy show aimed at upending fantasy trop...

Re: WoT show to begin production this Fall!

Yeah, it seems like they've changed the setting a good bit so Aes Sedai are more open in the world as the matriarchy. I've mostly made my peace with the fact that this is an adaptation (which they've been clear about) and am actually somewhat excited about it because it'll be like reading the books ...
