Too bad! aerocontrols Send a noteboard - 22/11/2021 02:59:24 PM

I highly doubt it. I've had several people discuss the GOT-itization of it. If that is the showrunners' mindset, it will never be fixed.

Also, I hope you're building up some good karma for having to watch that twice. Oy.


Maybe my issue is that, since I didn't watch (or read the books of) ASoIaF, (is that righht?) I am naïve to what's coming, while others are not.

But I did try to watch the Shannarah and another, even less memorable TV adaptation of fantasy I've never read, (I don't remember the title) and quit watching them both in the first season, I guess I'll abandon WoT eventually.

Bad writing even got me turning away from really great stuff on screen that I used to like. Star Wars, Marvel... Mighty Ducks.

Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.

I am not even bothering with 2 & 3. LiterateDog - 21/11/2021 09:51:46 PM 1526 Views
Other than that, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 22/11/2021 12:32:59 AM 465 Views
No stars, would not recommend. *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 12:57:28 PM 442 Views
I thought my link might make you laugh. Definitely two snaps down! *NM* damookster - 22/11/2021 12:45:49 AM 559 Views

Ugh. My main goal in life is to NOT be respectable. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:25:52 PM 935 Views
Too bad! aerocontrols - 22/11/2021 02:59:24 PM 874 Views
A reasonable decision. Palatine - 22/11/2021 02:15:23 AM 1079 Views
But I'm a thoroughly unreasonable person! LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:29:45 PM 900 Views
Then start acting like it! Palatine - 23/11/2021 07:00:54 PM 1090 Views
Sanderson's providing some kind of running commentary... which does contain criticism. Legolas - 23/11/2021 07:59:10 PM 874 Views
Yes, I saw his comments on reddit. The Shrike - 23/11/2021 09:41:33 PM 970 Views
Great read, thanks so much for posting! Anonymous2000 - 26/11/2021 05:54:06 PM 905 Views
Glad to hear it. Palatine - 26/11/2021 07:10:34 AM 1031 Views
Good, those changes seem completely unnecessary and pointless. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 26/11/2021 05:43:39 PM 477 Views
I think the point to remember is, the early episodes were never going to be that great. Legolas - 22/11/2021 08:46:33 AM 924 Views
Eh, I think you give them too much slack. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:33:04 PM 930 Views
It's possible I'll agree with that after having seen more episodes... Legolas - 22/11/2021 03:04:54 PM 930 Views
That's a big "if'. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 03:31:11 PM 937 Views

My work here is done! *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 04:01:43 PM 473 Views
Yes, it is a big 'if'. I guess I'm an optimist? Legolas - 22/11/2021 04:17:41 PM 954 Views
Agreed on - The Shrike - 22/11/2021 05:27:28 PM 922 Views
Yes - neat addition, I thought, as is the map with the comments. Legolas - 22/11/2021 08:37:19 PM 818 Views
I liked the maps too! The Shrike - 22/11/2021 09:36:09 PM 892 Views
Where are the extras ? :o *NM* AgentApple - 23/11/2021 05:42:40 AM 490 Views
Via X-Ray --> Bonus Content *NM* The Shrike - 23/11/2021 02:29:59 PM 471 Views
Hmmm I dont think I have that AgentApple - 23/11/2021 08:03:52 PM 832 Views
Apparently some people need to download the Amazon Prime app to be able to see them. Legolas - 23/11/2021 08:22:31 PM 879 Views
Thanks AgentApple - 24/11/2021 07:14:01 AM 950 Views
I kind of liked it AgentApple - 22/11/2021 10:29:21 AM 933 Views
So, doesn't suck nearly as much as some other shows? I can accept that. *NM* damookster - 22/11/2021 01:44:23 PM 575 Views
Re: So, doesn't suck nearly as much as some other shows? I can accept that. AgentApple - 22/11/2021 02:11:57 PM 985 Views
I couldn't possibly disagree more. damookster - 22/11/2021 03:11:32 PM 899 Views

If the show gets as far as the battle of the Two Rivers he can be reformed AgentApple - 22/11/2021 03:50:08 PM 954 Views
I'm kind of happy for you. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:37:46 PM 881 Views

The problem with the show is The Shrike - 22/11/2021 03:10:17 PM 968 Views
Well said! *NM* damookster - 22/11/2021 03:17:18 PM 541 Views

Just came across a related article... Legolas - 23/11/2021 06:23:31 PM 975 Views
The Guardian's views on the show are . . .not to be trusted. The Shrike - 23/11/2021 09:50:01 PM 918 Views
Yep. But it's pretty weird how many entirely different things people are seeing in it. Legolas - 23/11/2021 11:06:24 PM 899 Views
Madden's read to book 11, apparently fionwe1987 - 24/11/2021 02:57:46 AM 910 Views
Oh has she? Must've changed her mind since the earlier interview, then... and read quickly. Legolas - 24/11/2021 08:17:24 AM 955 Views

Let’s see if I got this right… damookster - 27/11/2021 12:58:52 AM 931 Views
That about sums it up, yeah! *NM* fionwe1987 - 27/11/2021 03:38:18 PM 445 Views
After all this time, you still can't handle the quoting system? Legolas - 27/11/2021 09:21:42 PM 876 Views
And they screwed that up so far! GOT..... Anonymous2000 - 23/11/2021 01:19:19 AM 855 Views
Yeah, what you said. Aviendha - 05/12/2021 03:02:15 PM 958 Views
Also why is every city from the past influenced by the LOTR movies? The Shrike - 22/11/2021 03:16:13 PM 897 Views
Yes, I greatly dislike what they've done with the the White Tower. *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 03:31:47 PM 495 Views
That's a good point - not a fan of what they did with the White Tower, either. Legolas - 22/11/2021 03:37:36 PM 886 Views
For my favorite well read pooch damookster - 22/11/2021 05:03:55 PM 1024 Views

I'm well aware of the backstory and the different views on it. damookster - 23/11/2021 07:11:19 PM 885 Views
Saidin and Saidar are in the show fionwe1987 - 24/11/2021 03:00:50 AM 878 Views
According to the Dragonmount YouTube review as of the end of episode 6 it’s still just One Power *NM* damookster - 24/11/2021 04:34:32 AM 430 Views
Episode 4 makes it pretty clear fionwe1987 - 26/11/2021 10:40:07 PM 873 Views
Fair enough gban007 - 24/11/2021 09:02:50 AM 925 Views

With regards to the pacing AgentApple - 24/11/2021 07:29:36 AM 871 Views
Considering that it's still not revealed by the end of episode 6 who the Dragon Reborn is... Legolas - 24/11/2021 08:22:02 AM 904 Views
