Oldbie log, wisdom lore saves the day.
Posting because Daal mentioned it. * R HP:Healthy MV:Full > Outside the Eastern Gate of Amador The tall gates of Amador stand to the west, the sounds of the bustling city drifting out from beyond the entrance. This narrow dirt road leads north, surrounded by the green fields of Amadicia. [ obvious ...

Re: Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 7: Dark Along the Ways Prediction and Discussion
I got some pretty serious DnD vibes in the Ways. The DM was kind enough to make the floor of the entire ways a hex grid, and then one of them cheesed the combat encounter. I'd be furious. :P I actually thought that was a nice touch. Considering the Ways were grown, having the stones take the shape ...

Re: The Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 6: The Flame of Tar Valon
The shawl is a great device to distinguish Aes Sedai for several reasons, at least in my mind. The most important characteristic is that it rests across the shoulders. This is generally known as the "mantle of authority", something that Accepted and nobody else in the world can attain without becom...

Re: The Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 6: The Flame of Tar Valon
@Aira - yeah broadly don't disagree except I don't think EF was wholesome here but as you say that is subjective. I don't at all think fanfic is mediocre! I think it's a brilliant contemporary literary form, denigrated by the elites of today just as Shakespeare was in his time. Fanfic is fundamenta...

Re: The Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 6: The Flame of Tar Valon
The kiss between Siuan and Moiraine could've been a bit more passionate, but maybe that's just me. The secretly swearing fealty to siuan in full view of everyone though (that too after the whole kneel/kneel flip thing - strongly reminded me of a scene from the 100 when the heda person makes Clarke ...

"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 television right up until there are no more books to copy and oh firetruck, now our show sucks! Except that GoT didn't copy the books word for word either. There were som...

Re: The Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 6: The Flame of Tar Valon
**Spoilers** Liked: I wonder if Siuan's father missing a hand is a nod to harsh Tairen rule of peasants. The Stone of Tear on the horizon. Fishy phrases, although different ones. They've toned down a lot of bookish phrases, probably to not be corny? Liked the Hall politicking, I think it might intro...

Re: The Wheel of TIme Season 1 Episode 1, 2, 3 Discussion Thread
I see a lot of effort to make certain that Egwene has things to do in the story in these scenes. I suspect (though I don't know for certain) this is part of the reason too." -BS He has a point, tbh. In the books, Egwene tells the story and Bornhald goes "there's no warder in that story". Then when....

Re: WoT: Season 1 Episode 5 "Blood Calls Blood" Discussion
Yea but you know, this is theoretically supposed to be based on a set of books. Just one more character they're completely ruining from the get go. R.I.P. Book Mat Book Perrin Book Thom and Book Lan It's like they have something against Heroic archetypes the books are full of and have to neuter the...

Re: WoT: Season 1 Episode 5 "Blood Calls Blood" Discussion
I did not like Lan breaking down as he did. I would have much preferred a single tear from him, and then showing Moiraine being a complete mess. Maybe some line from Nynaeve saying "how can he be so unaffected" and then panning to Moiraine barely able to speak saying something like "his pain is dee...
