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

Just went back and rewatched cold open for episode 1 after Airas post. Super cool that they showed the ruins and the river makes sense too! But why that level of attention to detail then butcher major plot lines and fake so many deaths. I mean seriously how did Nynaeve come back to life? How are Loi...

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

Non book readers on Reddit seemed to have liked it quite a bit more than book readers. I think we are just stuck to the books a little too much. SPOILER But Nynaeves death and sudden deus ex machina revival was just way too much for me. Just stupid. And Loial fake death (I assume), also dumb. Moirai...

Liked some of it but really having trouble decoupling from the books. Don't get why they had to change so much

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

I'm not sure what you guys are all arguing about. Obviously in any time not in the last like 300 years of human history, any small village would have really homogenous looking people. There wouldn't be white people, black people, and Asians all randomly living together in some small village :p But a...

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

I'm not really looking to get into a drawn out debate. But all of your examples are like in seasons 4+? And are relatively minor compared to what has already happened in the first six episodes in the first season of WoT. I mean the first few seasons of GoT had a ton of dialogue that was like literal...

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

Feel pretty let down again after episode 6 was hyped as Brandon Sanderson's favorite episode. This post from Reddit really sums up my thoughts on the show so far: "Game of Thrones: We're gonna copy the books word for word onto the screen and not deviate even slightly, being the best show on televisi...

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

I agree that the show has gone overboard in wokeness and it's distracting sometimes. And I'm a minority in case that is somehow relevant to having this opinion. Anyway I read this theory somewhere that Lan was supposed to show emotion as the lead mourner. But he couldn't do it and he looked at Moira...

Finally, Rosamund Pike is just such a great actor. Almost too good because every other actor with her in any scene starts to look bland in comparison. Loving her as Moiraine right now as long as she refrains from dancing in the future.

Also I loved the rage from Liandrin after one of her sisters died even though not of her Ajah. Gave me chills in the moment though obviously she has external motives.
