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 1445 Views
Other than that, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 22/11/2021 12:32:59 AM 428 Views
No stars, would not recommend. *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 12:57:28 PM 411 Views
I thought my link might make you laugh. Definitely two snaps down! *NM* damookster - 22/11/2021 12:45:49 AM 524 Views

Ugh. My main goal in life is to NOT be respectable. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:25:52 PM 861 Views
Too bad! aerocontrols - 22/11/2021 02:59:24 PM 791 Views
A reasonable decision. Palatine - 22/11/2021 02:15:23 AM 994 Views
But I'm a thoroughly unreasonable person! LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:29:45 PM 830 Views
Then start acting like it! Palatine - 23/11/2021 07:00:54 PM 1008 Views
Sanderson's providing some kind of running commentary... which does contain criticism. Legolas - 23/11/2021 07:59:10 PM 808 Views
Yes, I saw his comments on reddit. The Shrike - 23/11/2021 09:41:33 PM 893 Views
Great read, thanks so much for posting! Anonymous2000 - 26/11/2021 05:54:06 PM 818 Views
Glad to hear it. Palatine - 26/11/2021 07:10:34 AM 958 Views
Good, those changes seem completely unnecessary and pointless. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 26/11/2021 05:43:39 PM 442 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 849 Views
Eh, I think you give them too much slack. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:33:04 PM 847 Views
It's possible I'll agree with that after having seen more episodes... Legolas - 22/11/2021 03:04:54 PM 844 Views
That's a big "if'. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 03:31:11 PM 867 Views

My work here is done! *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 04:01:43 PM 433 Views
Yes, it is a big 'if'. I guess I'm an optimist? Legolas - 22/11/2021 04:17:41 PM 843 Views
Agreed on - The Shrike - 22/11/2021 05:27:28 PM 844 Views
Yes - neat addition, I thought, as is the map with the comments. Legolas - 22/11/2021 08:37:19 PM 754 Views
I liked the maps too! The Shrike - 22/11/2021 09:36:09 PM 817 Views
Where are the extras ? :o *NM* AgentApple - 23/11/2021 05:42:40 AM 445 Views
Via X-Ray --> Bonus Content *NM* The Shrike - 23/11/2021 02:29:59 PM 434 Views
Hmmm I dont think I have that AgentApple - 23/11/2021 08:03:52 PM 768 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 814 Views
Thanks AgentApple - 24/11/2021 07:14:01 AM 876 Views
I kind of liked it AgentApple - 22/11/2021 10:29:21 AM 868 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 527 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 899 Views
I couldn't possibly disagree more. damookster - 22/11/2021 03:11:32 PM 829 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 881 Views
I'm kind of happy for you. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:37:46 PM 805 Views

The problem with the show is The Shrike - 22/11/2021 03:10:17 PM 889 Views
Well said! *NM* damookster - 22/11/2021 03:17:18 PM 499 Views

Just came across a related article... Legolas - 23/11/2021 06:23:31 PM 900 Views
The Guardian's views on the show are . . .not to be trusted. The Shrike - 23/11/2021 09:50:01 PM 845 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 832 Views
Madden's read to book 11, apparently fionwe1987 - 24/11/2021 02:57:46 AM 830 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 875 Views

Let’s see if I got this right… damookster - 27/11/2021 12:58:52 AM 852 Views
That about sums it up, yeah! *NM* fionwe1987 - 27/11/2021 03:38:18 PM 405 Views
After all this time, you still can't handle the quoting system? Legolas - 27/11/2021 09:21:42 PM 815 Views
And they screwed that up so far! GOT..... Anonymous2000 - 23/11/2021 01:19:19 AM 777 Views
Yeah, what you said. Aviendha - 05/12/2021 03:02:15 PM 881 Views
Also why is every city from the past influenced by the LOTR movies? The Shrike - 22/11/2021 03:16:13 PM 824 Views
Yes, I greatly dislike what they've done with the the White Tower. *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 03:31:47 PM 459 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 804 Views

I'm well aware of the backstory and the different views on it. damookster - 23/11/2021 07:11:19 PM 819 Views
Saidin and Saidar are in the show fionwe1987 - 24/11/2021 03:00:50 AM 802 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 393 Views
Episode 4 makes it pretty clear fionwe1987 - 26/11/2021 10:40:07 PM 810 Views
Fair enough gban007 - 24/11/2021 09:02:50 AM 851 Views

With regards to the pacing AgentApple - 24/11/2021 07:29:36 AM 800 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 833 Views
