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

View original post


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 824 Views
Other than that, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 22/11/2021 12:32:59 AM 127 Views
No stars, would not recommend. *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 12:57:28 PM 120 Views
I thought my link might make you laugh. Definitely two snaps down! *NM* damookster - 22/11/2021 12:45:49 AM 166 Views

Ugh. My main goal in life is to NOT be respectable. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:25:52 PM 209 Views
Too bad! aerocontrols - 22/11/2021 02:59:24 PM 178 Views
A reasonable decision. Palatine - 22/11/2021 02:15:23 AM 297 Views
But I'm a thoroughly unreasonable person! LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:29:45 PM 192 Views
Then start acting like it! Palatine - 23/11/2021 07:00:54 PM 275 Views
Sanderson's providing some kind of running commentary... which does contain criticism. Legolas - 23/11/2021 07:59:10 PM 197 Views
Yes, I saw his comments on reddit. The Shrike - 23/11/2021 09:41:33 PM 244 Views
Great read, thanks so much for posting! Anonymous2000 - 26/11/2021 05:54:06 PM 208 Views
Glad to hear it. Palatine - 26/11/2021 07:10:34 AM 254 Views
Good, those changes seem completely unnecessary and pointless. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 26/11/2021 05:43:39 PM 121 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 228 Views
Eh, I think you give them too much slack. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:33:04 PM 209 Views
It's possible I'll agree with that after having seen more episodes... Legolas - 22/11/2021 03:04:54 PM 210 Views
That's a big "if'. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 03:31:11 PM 199 Views

My work here is done! *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 04:01:43 PM 119 Views
Yes, it is a big 'if'. I guess I'm an optimist? Legolas - 22/11/2021 04:17:41 PM 202 Views
Agreed on - The Shrike - 22/11/2021 05:27:28 PM 210 Views
Yes - neat addition, I thought, as is the map with the comments. Legolas - 22/11/2021 08:37:19 PM 196 Views
I liked the maps too! The Shrike - 22/11/2021 09:36:09 PM 198 Views
Where are the extras ? :o *NM* AgentApple - 23/11/2021 05:42:40 AM 110 Views
Via X-Ray --> Bonus Content *NM* The Shrike - 23/11/2021 02:29:59 PM 110 Views
Hmmm I dont think I have that AgentApple - 23/11/2021 08:03:52 PM 196 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 176 Views
Thanks AgentApple - 24/11/2021 07:14:01 AM 214 Views
I kind of liked it AgentApple - 22/11/2021 10:29:21 AM 197 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 174 Views

I couldn't possibly disagree more. damookster - 22/11/2021 03:11:32 PM 213 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 180 Views
I'm kind of happy for you. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:37:46 PM 181 Views

Just came across a related article... Legolas - 23/11/2021 06:23:31 PM 198 Views
The Guardian's views on the show are . . .not to be trusted. The Shrike - 23/11/2021 09:50:01 PM 180 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 182 Views
Madden's read to book 11, apparently fionwe1987 - 24/11/2021 02:57:46 AM 181 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 193 Views

Let’s see if I got this right… damookster - 27/11/2021 12:58:52 AM 177 Views
That about sums it up, yeah! *NM* fionwe1987 - 27/11/2021 03:38:18 PM 98 Views
After all this time, you still can't handle the quoting system? Legolas - 27/11/2021 09:21:42 PM 161 Views
And they screwed that up so far! GOT..... Anonymous2000 - 23/11/2021 01:19:19 AM 172 Views
Yeah, what you said. Aviendha - 05/12/2021 03:02:15 PM 164 Views
Also why is every city from the past influenced by the LOTR movies? The Shrike - 22/11/2021 03:16:13 PM 187 Views
Yes, I greatly dislike what they've done with the the White Tower. *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 03:31:47 PM 105 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 164 Views

Saidin and Saidar are in the show fionwe1987 - 24/11/2021 03:00:50 AM 177 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 95 Views
Episode 4 makes it pretty clear fionwe1987 - 26/11/2021 10:40:07 PM 188 Views
Fair enough gban007 - 24/11/2021 09:02:50 AM 189 Views

With regards to the pacing AgentApple - 24/11/2021 07:29:36 AM 170 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 177 Views
