Also why is every city from the past influenced by the LOTR movies? The Shrike Send a noteboard - 22/11/2021 03:16:13 PM

Take the White Tower and its descriptions in the books versus what we see in the trailer. The White Tower was built so close to the Breaking and with the Power that it was basically straight up and closer to being our own kind of skyscraper than the neo-Baroque Byzantine hybrid that every city in Fantasy seems to be these days.

Aridhol (Shadar Logoth), Tar Valon, the city in the Amazon Tolkien show, the cities in LOTR movies. It's become so generic that a Fantasy city has to look this way. And that annoys me.

I am not even bothering with 2 & 3. LiterateDog - 21/11/2021 09:51:46 PM 951 Views
Other than that, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 22/11/2021 12:32:59 AM 198 Views
No stars, would not recommend. *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 12:57:28 PM 189 Views
I thought my link might make you laugh. Definitely two snaps down! *NM* damookster - 22/11/2021 12:45:49 AM 263 Views

Ugh. My main goal in life is to NOT be respectable. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:25:52 PM 345 Views
Too bad! aerocontrols - 22/11/2021 02:59:24 PM 292 Views
A reasonable decision. Palatine - 22/11/2021 02:15:23 AM 459 Views
But I'm a thoroughly unreasonable person! LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:29:45 PM 333 Views
Then start acting like it! Palatine - 23/11/2021 07:00:54 PM 448 Views
Sanderson's providing some kind of running commentary... which does contain criticism. Legolas - 23/11/2021 07:59:10 PM 325 Views
Yes, I saw his comments on reddit. The Shrike - 23/11/2021 09:41:33 PM 360 Views
Great read, thanks so much for posting! Anonymous2000 - 26/11/2021 05:54:06 PM 340 Views
Glad to hear it. Palatine - 26/11/2021 07:10:34 AM 404 Views
Good, those changes seem completely unnecessary and pointless. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 26/11/2021 05:43:39 PM 196 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 347 Views
Eh, I think you give them too much slack. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:33:04 PM 334 Views
It's possible I'll agree with that after having seen more episodes... Legolas - 22/11/2021 03:04:54 PM 326 Views
That's a big "if'. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 03:31:11 PM 356 Views

My work here is done! *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 04:01:43 PM 191 Views
Yes, it is a big 'if'. I guess I'm an optimist? Legolas - 22/11/2021 04:17:41 PM 335 Views
Agreed on - The Shrike - 22/11/2021 05:27:28 PM 347 Views
Yes - neat addition, I thought, as is the map with the comments. Legolas - 22/11/2021 08:37:19 PM 315 Views
I liked the maps too! The Shrike - 22/11/2021 09:36:09 PM 329 Views
Where are the extras ? :o *NM* AgentApple - 23/11/2021 05:42:40 AM 209 Views
Via X-Ray --> Bonus Content *NM* The Shrike - 23/11/2021 02:29:59 PM 187 Views
Hmmm I dont think I have that AgentApple - 23/11/2021 08:03:52 PM 317 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 320 Views
Thanks AgentApple - 24/11/2021 07:14:01 AM 351 Views
I kind of liked it AgentApple - 22/11/2021 10:29:21 AM 355 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 261 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 311 Views
I'm kind of happy for you. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:37:46 PM 301 Views

Just came across a related article... Legolas - 23/11/2021 06:23:31 PM 344 Views
The Guardian's views on the show are . . .not to be trusted. The Shrike - 23/11/2021 09:50:01 PM 316 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 317 Views
Madden's read to book 11, apparently fionwe1987 - 24/11/2021 02:57:46 AM 305 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 340 Views

That about sums it up, yeah! *NM* fionwe1987 - 27/11/2021 03:38:18 PM 173 Views
After all this time, you still can't handle the quoting system? Legolas - 27/11/2021 09:21:42 PM 315 Views
And they screwed that up so far! GOT..... Anonymous2000 - 23/11/2021 01:19:19 AM 310 Views

Yes, I greatly dislike what they've done with the the White Tower. *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 03:31:47 PM 197 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 282 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 156 Views
Episode 4 makes it pretty clear fionwe1987 - 26/11/2021 10:40:07 PM 299 Views
Fair enough gban007 - 24/11/2021 09:02:50 AM 361 Views

With regards to the pacing AgentApple - 24/11/2021 07:29:36 AM 298 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 324 Views
