"Men in their arrogance thought they could imprison Darkness" Isn't that what they had to do? Only they went about it wrong?

Combine that with the opening sequence with the Red we later discover is Liandrin (?) gentling/killing the crazy male channeler. She says as she gentles/kills him, "It's only for women. Your touch fouls it." Umm, you don't touch the same thing dear, so how would you know what his touch does?


It is possible that the arrogance was about them doing it by themselves, rather than men and women working together, though the relationship between both sides had broken down at that point and Latra Decume's plan looked to not be achievable anymore with the Choeden Kal keys lost, but still didn't support LTT's plan - so not sure what the end goal was at that point really.

I am not even bothering with 2 & 3. LiterateDog - 21/11/2021 09:51:46 PM 804 Views
Other than that, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 22/11/2021 12:32:59 AM 113 Views
No stars, would not recommend. *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 12:57:28 PM 106 Views
I thought my link might make you laugh. Definitely two snaps down! *NM* damookster - 22/11/2021 12:45:49 AM 154 Views

Ugh. My main goal in life is to NOT be respectable. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:25:52 PM 188 Views
Too bad! aerocontrols - 22/11/2021 02:59:24 PM 161 Views
A reasonable decision. Palatine - 22/11/2021 02:15:23 AM 265 Views
But I'm a thoroughly unreasonable person! LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:29:45 PM 174 Views
Then start acting like it! Palatine - 23/11/2021 07:00:54 PM 243 Views
Sanderson's providing some kind of running commentary... which does contain criticism. Legolas - 23/11/2021 07:59:10 PM 176 Views
Yes, I saw his comments on reddit. The Shrike - 23/11/2021 09:41:33 PM 225 Views
Great read, thanks so much for posting! Anonymous2000 - 26/11/2021 05:54:06 PM 187 Views
Glad to hear it. Palatine - 26/11/2021 07:10:34 AM 222 Views
Good, those changes seem completely unnecessary and pointless. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 26/11/2021 05:43:39 PM 110 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 208 Views
Eh, I think you give them too much slack. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:33:04 PM 190 Views
It's possible I'll agree with that after having seen more episodes... Legolas - 22/11/2021 03:04:54 PM 189 Views
That's a big "if'. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 03:31:11 PM 180 Views

My work here is done! *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 04:01:43 PM 107 Views
Yes, it is a big 'if'. I guess I'm an optimist? Legolas - 22/11/2021 04:17:41 PM 183 Views
Agreed on - The Shrike - 22/11/2021 05:27:28 PM 190 Views
Yes - neat addition, I thought, as is the map with the comments. Legolas - 22/11/2021 08:37:19 PM 175 Views
I liked the maps too! The Shrike - 22/11/2021 09:36:09 PM 178 Views
Where are the extras ? :o *NM* AgentApple - 23/11/2021 05:42:40 AM 100 Views

Hmmm I dont think I have that AgentApple - 23/11/2021 08:03:52 PM 178 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 157 Views
Thanks AgentApple - 24/11/2021 07:14:01 AM 189 Views
I kind of liked it AgentApple - 22/11/2021 10:29:21 AM 179 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 162 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 209 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 158 Views
I'm kind of happy for you. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:37:46 PM 166 Views

Just came across a related article... Legolas - 23/11/2021 06:23:31 PM 177 Views
The Guardian's views on the show are . . .not to be trusted. The Shrike - 23/11/2021 09:50:01 PM 163 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 165 Views
Madden's read to book 11, apparently fionwe1987 - 24/11/2021 02:57:46 AM 165 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 170 Views

That about sums it up, yeah! *NM* fionwe1987 - 27/11/2021 03:38:18 PM 88 Views
After all this time, you still can't handle the quoting system? Legolas - 27/11/2021 09:21:42 PM 145 Views
And they screwed that up so far! GOT..... Anonymous2000 - 23/11/2021 01:19:19 AM 152 Views
Yeah, what you said. Aviendha - 05/12/2021 03:02:15 PM 147 Views
Also why is every city from the past influenced by the LOTR movies? The Shrike - 22/11/2021 03:16:13 PM 169 Views
Yes, I greatly dislike what they've done with the the White Tower. *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 03:31:47 PM 94 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 143 Views

Saidin and Saidar are in the show fionwe1987 - 24/11/2021 03:00:50 AM 159 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 84 Views
Episode 4 makes it pretty clear fionwe1987 - 26/11/2021 10:40:07 PM 163 Views
Fair enough gban007 - 24/11/2021 09:02:50 AM 169 Views

With regards to the pacing AgentApple - 24/11/2021 07:29:36 AM 155 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 155 Views
