Re: The Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 6: The Flame of Tar Valon

As for my actual thoughts: By far this was my favorite episode. Bring expressly the relationship of Moraine and Siuane to the forefront (where anyone half paying attention could see it in the books) was marvelous. Love the cold open. Really liked playing up the Tower politics. I wonder if Moraine's ...

Re: The Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 6: The Flame of Tar Valon

Mat fighting the warders, Thom bonding with mat/rand, lan teaching rand how to hold a sword, emonds field being a looovely wholesome place etc..none of this is really there in the show. To be a contrarian, most of your examples are things that happen much further into the series: Mat and fighting G...

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

Some thoughts from Brandon: Episode Three (posted by /u/mistborn AKA Bandon Sanderson) on reddit ... Maybe I am getting more cynical by the day, but when I read this I cant shake the feeling that Brandon is trying too hard perhaps to secure a future TV deal for his own fully original work (most of ...

Re: WoT: Season 1 Episode 5 "Blood Calls Blood" Discussion

That episode did have me wondering if they are combining the Liandrin/Elaida character, which is a no from me. ** book/show spoilers maybe ** Liandrin was definitely not as built up in the books as she is in the show in terms of her direct relationships with other Aes Sedai. In fact do we even get ...

Re: The Wheel of TIme Season 1 Episode 4 "The Dragon Reborn" Discussion

Also sheilde can be broken by actual objects seems like a major design flaw. They could just throw rocks at a shield and break it then? My interpretation is that the Aes Sedai were trying to shield Logain and having trouble because he had already seized Saidin. The axes didn't break the shield, the...

Re: The Wheel of TIme Season 1 Episode 4 "The Dragon Reborn" Discussion

Ok thanks Ashlee that does make sense. So Logain was referring to Moraines earlier words. Rather then being literal about seeing the sun. That was my take at least, I could be totally wrong. ***BOOKS SPOILER**** There are a few speculating that it could also be Logain seeing Nynaeve as a taveren, s...

Re: The Wheel of TIme Season 1 Episode 4 "The Dragon Reborn" Discussion

So they setup that male and female cannot see each others weaves, and then twice completely ignored that lore. When logain was shielded they commented on how they couldn't see his weaves. But then during the battle, the green ajah deflects 2 of the 3 logain weaves. And then with the super saiyan he...

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

To be fair, I think we all knew when they started this production that the screenwriters would have to discard ALOT of material. Considering there are shows that run for 12+ seasons out there, I doubt anything HAS to be discarded. Find someone who truly understands the source material, and not just...

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

It is not going to be a GoT successs, and may trend around Witcher (maybe little less since Netflix is more popular than Amazone Prime). I keep seeing this comparison (hard not to compare them, honestly). But my memory of GOT was that when it first launched, it was not well received by the broader ...

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

*potential book spoiler* I wonder if Season 1 will be 100% EoTW. Obviously we wont be watching this show for 14 seasons, one for each book, and the books get thicker, slower paced, and really plot-branchy until we get to The Gathering Storm. Makes me wonder if the Seanchan, Shado Aiel plot, or a lo...
