I'm most concerned by the Aes Sedai being burned at the stake by white cloaks. Narg Send a noteboard - 28/10/2021 11:47:51 PM

It signals a massive change to the basic world building of the series. It just isn't plausible with the world that RJ set up. Maybe the white cloaks got her to drink some fork root tea (implausible), she went into a steading for some reason and got captured there (implausible), or the white cloaks are in league with other channelers that have shielded her (implausible).

In the books, the white cloaks know their only chance for killing an Aes Sedai is in an ambush in which the Aes Sedai is killed or mortally wounded before she knows what has happened. I'm worried about what basic rules Rafe Judkins feels free to break in his adaptation.

A little learning is a dangerous thing.

Well you can always watch the Cowboy Bebop live action, since it airs the same day *NM* Roland00 - 28/10/2021 07:23:17 PM 78 Views
It's going to be the Woke of Time, you'll see *NM* Tom - 28/10/2021 10:23:48 PM 91 Views
The video of Rafe Judkins commenting on the trailer is also worth watching. Legolas - 27/10/2021 09:19:11 PM 281 Views
Yeah he definitely seems very knowledgeable about the series fionwe1987 - 27/10/2021 09:40:43 PM 202 Views
Yes. Most of the changes he talks about are good for the medium transition AgentApple - 28/10/2021 10:17:23 AM 187 Views
I liked him way back on Survivor. I guess it's good he didn't win AgentApple - 28/10/2021 10:18:44 AM 176 Views
The truncated Third Oath is just sloppy whatever the justification. damookster - 28/10/2021 06:56:54 PM 289 Views
Trailers truncate. That's nothing new. *NM* fionwe1987 - 28/10/2021 07:15:24 PM 94 Views
Part of the whole oaths thing Roland00 - 28/10/2021 07:38:38 PM 288 Views
Ugh aerocontrols - 28/10/2021 09:11:57 PM 205 Views
True! Roland00 - 28/10/2021 09:16:14 PM 213 Views
He also created the original 3 Oaths damookster - 28/10/2021 09:28:30 PM 262 Views
Well... aerocontrols - 28/10/2021 09:31:19 PM 248 Views
Umm isn't the reason for the wording obvious? fionwe1987 - 28/10/2021 10:01:39 PM 194 Views
Though clever, this explanation isn't very satisfying. Narg - 29/10/2021 12:00:17 AM 216 Views
I don't think so aerocontrols - 29/10/2021 01:26:46 AM 190 Views
Yeah, that was silly... Legolas - 28/10/2021 07:50:47 PM 180 Views
