Eh, I think you give them too much slack. LiterateDog Send a noteboard - 22/11/2021 02:33:04 PM

I mean, obviously there's a few choices they made that were pretty bad, so I wouldn't say they did a great job with what they were given exactly, but given the source material and the requirements of turning that into a popular TV show, it was always going to be a tough balancing act that wouldn't leave anybody really wowed at the start. Part of the reason they immediately released three episodes at once. I'm still not wowed after three episodes, either, but at least there's more good elements as well as bad, enough to make me want to see the rest of the season and postpone judgement.

Even leaving aside it being a travesty to WOT, it just for itself, is a terrible show. There is nothing I can think of that will ever tempt me into watching another moment of it. As it is, I must scrub what I've seen from the depths of my mind, lest it taint my next reading experience.

But, seriously, anyone who wants to watch this either because you like/love it or just love to hate on it, go with god. I wish you nothing but enjoyment.

Sanderson's providing some kind of running commentary... which does contain criticism. - 23/11/2021 07:59:10 PM 325 Views

Good, those changes seem completely unnecessary and pointless. *NM* - 26/11/2021 05:43:39 PM 197 Views
I think the point to remember is, the early episodes were never going to be that great. - 22/11/2021 08:46:33 AM 347 Views
