"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 1663 Views
Other than that, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 22/11/2021 12:32:59 AM 549 Views
No stars, would not recommend. *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 12:57:28 PM 517 Views

Ugh. My main goal in life is to NOT be respectable. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:25:52 PM 1070 Views
Too bad! aerocontrols - 22/11/2021 02:59:24 PM 1012 Views
A reasonable decision. Palatine - 22/11/2021 02:15:23 AM 1262 Views
But I'm a thoroughly unreasonable person! LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:29:45 PM 1053 Views
Then start acting like it! Palatine - 23/11/2021 07:00:54 PM 1244 Views
Sanderson's providing some kind of running commentary... which does contain criticism. Legolas - 23/11/2021 07:59:10 PM 1008 Views
Yes, I saw his comments on reddit. The Shrike - 23/11/2021 09:41:33 PM 1118 Views
Great read, thanks so much for posting! Anonymous2000 - 26/11/2021 05:54:06 PM 1039 Views
Glad to hear it. Palatine - 26/11/2021 07:10:34 AM 1193 Views
Good, those changes seem completely unnecessary and pointless. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 26/11/2021 05:43:39 PM 550 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 1076 Views
Eh, I think you give them too much slack. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:33:04 PM 1073 Views
It's possible I'll agree with that after having seen more episodes... Legolas - 22/11/2021 03:04:54 PM 1081 Views
That's a big "if'. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 03:31:11 PM 1076 Views

My work here is done! *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 04:01:43 PM 547 Views
Yes, it is a big 'if'. I guess I'm an optimist? Legolas - 22/11/2021 04:17:41 PM 1126 Views
Agreed on - The Shrike - 22/11/2021 05:27:28 PM 1062 Views
Yes - neat addition, I thought, as is the map with the comments. Legolas - 22/11/2021 08:37:19 PM 969 Views
I liked the maps too! The Shrike - 22/11/2021 09:36:09 PM 1030 Views
Where are the extras ? :o *NM* AgentApple - 23/11/2021 05:42:40 AM 574 Views

Hmmm I dont think I have that AgentApple - 23/11/2021 08:03:52 PM 991 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 1025 Views
Thanks AgentApple - 24/11/2021 07:14:01 AM 1088 Views
I kind of liked it AgentApple - 22/11/2021 10:29:21 AM 1077 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 660 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 1099 Views
I'm kind of happy for you. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:37:46 PM 1027 Views

Just came across a related article... Legolas - 23/11/2021 06:23:31 PM 1129 Views
The Guardian's views on the show are . . .not to be trusted. The Shrike - 23/11/2021 09:50:01 PM 1065 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 1046 Views
Madden's read to book 11, apparently fionwe1987 - 24/11/2021 02:57:46 AM 1048 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 1111 Views

That about sums it up, yeah! *NM* fionwe1987 - 27/11/2021 03:38:18 PM 525 Views
After all this time, you still can't handle the quoting system? Legolas - 27/11/2021 09:21:42 PM 1024 Views
And they screwed that up so far! GOT..... Anonymous2000 - 23/11/2021 01:19:19 AM 1000 Views
Yeah, what you said. Aviendha - 05/12/2021 03:02:15 PM 1110 Views
Also why is every city from the past influenced by the LOTR movies? The Shrike - 22/11/2021 03:16:13 PM 1039 Views
Yes, I greatly dislike what they've done with the the White Tower. *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 03:31:47 PM 575 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 1037 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 529 Views
Episode 4 makes it pretty clear fionwe1987 - 26/11/2021 10:40:07 PM 997 Views
Fair enough gban007 - 24/11/2021 09:02:50 AM 1083 Views

With regards to the pacing AgentApple - 24/11/2021 07:29:36 AM 1015 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 1061 Views
