Fair enough gban007 Send a noteboard - 24/11/2021 09:02:50 AM

But since the show is making such an obvious point of only saying One Power and no reference whatsoever to saidin/saidar, I'll hold to my objections both to the opening monologue and Liandrin's comment.

A bit after posting I thought it was probably a bit silly, that anyone here likely well knows it, and most likely more than me but I guess showing that I'm tending to take the optimistic viewpoint, and reaching for reasons why it isn't too far away from the books.

I am not even bothering with 2 & 3. LiterateDog - 21/11/2021 09:51:46 PM 1582 Views
Other than that, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 22/11/2021 12:32:59 AM 495 Views
No stars, would not recommend. *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 12:57:28 PM 469 Views
I thought my link might make you laugh. Definitely two snaps down! *NM* damookster - 22/11/2021 12:45:49 AM 603 Views

Ugh. My main goal in life is to NOT be respectable. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:25:52 PM 991 Views
Too bad! aerocontrols - 22/11/2021 02:59:24 PM 929 Views
A reasonable decision. Palatine - 22/11/2021 02:15:23 AM 1143 Views
But I'm a thoroughly unreasonable person! LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:29:45 PM 957 Views
Then start acting like it! Palatine - 23/11/2021 07:00:54 PM 1144 Views
Sanderson's providing some kind of running commentary... which does contain criticism. Legolas - 23/11/2021 07:59:10 PM 918 Views
Yes, I saw his comments on reddit. The Shrike - 23/11/2021 09:41:33 PM 1033 Views
Great read, thanks so much for posting! Anonymous2000 - 26/11/2021 05:54:06 PM 952 Views
Glad to hear it. Palatine - 26/11/2021 07:10:34 AM 1089 Views
Good, those changes seem completely unnecessary and pointless. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 26/11/2021 05:43:39 PM 503 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 988 Views
Eh, I think you give them too much slack. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:33:04 PM 994 Views
It's possible I'll agree with that after having seen more episodes... Legolas - 22/11/2021 03:04:54 PM 997 Views
That's a big "if'. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 03:31:11 PM 987 Views

My work here is done! *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 04:01:43 PM 499 Views
Yes, it is a big 'if'. I guess I'm an optimist? Legolas - 22/11/2021 04:17:41 PM 1030 Views
Agreed on - The Shrike - 22/11/2021 05:27:28 PM 979 Views
Yes - neat addition, I thought, as is the map with the comments. Legolas - 22/11/2021 08:37:19 PM 873 Views
I liked the maps too! The Shrike - 22/11/2021 09:36:09 PM 948 Views
Where are the extras ? :o *NM* AgentApple - 23/11/2021 05:42:40 AM 521 Views
Via X-Ray --> Bonus Content *NM* The Shrike - 23/11/2021 02:29:59 PM 503 Views
Hmmm I dont think I have that AgentApple - 23/11/2021 08:03:52 PM 898 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 929 Views
Thanks AgentApple - 24/11/2021 07:14:01 AM 996 Views
I kind of liked it AgentApple - 22/11/2021 10:29:21 AM 990 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 611 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 1054 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 1000 Views
I'm kind of happy for you. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:37:46 PM 953 Views

The problem with the show is The Shrike - 22/11/2021 03:10:17 PM 1022 Views
Well said! *NM* damookster - 22/11/2021 03:17:18 PM 568 Views

Just came across a related article... Legolas - 23/11/2021 06:23:31 PM 1038 Views
The Guardian's views on the show are . . .not to be trusted. The Shrike - 23/11/2021 09:50:01 PM 973 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 953 Views
Madden's read to book 11, apparently fionwe1987 - 24/11/2021 02:57:46 AM 969 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 1018 Views
Re: Oh has she? Must've changed her mind since the earlier interview, then... and read quickly. fionwe1987 - 26/11/2021 10:44:58 PM 901 Views
Let’s see if I got this right… damookster - 27/11/2021 12:58:52 AM 987 Views
That about sums it up, yeah! *NM* fionwe1987 - 27/11/2021 03:38:18 PM 480 Views
After all this time, you still can't handle the quoting system? Legolas - 27/11/2021 09:21:42 PM 935 Views
And they screwed that up so far! GOT..... Anonymous2000 - 23/11/2021 01:19:19 AM 911 Views
Yeah, what you said. Aviendha - 05/12/2021 03:02:15 PM 1019 Views
Also why is every city from the past influenced by the LOTR movies? The Shrike - 22/11/2021 03:16:13 PM 953 Views
Yes, I greatly dislike what they've done with the the White Tower. *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 03:31:47 PM 528 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 949 Views

Wow, my paisan’ makes an appearance! Long time no talk, my friend. *NM* damookster - 22/11/2021 06:36:54 PM 505 Views

Re: the opening bothered me a little as well. gban007 - 23/11/2021 06:29:25 PM 982 Views
I'm well aware of the backstory and the different views on it. damookster - 23/11/2021 07:11:19 PM 934 Views
Saidin and Saidar are in the show fionwe1987 - 24/11/2021 03:00:50 AM 926 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 464 Views
Episode 4 makes it pretty clear fionwe1987 - 26/11/2021 10:40:07 PM 921 Views
Fair enough gban007 - 24/11/2021 09:02:50 AM 991 Views

With regards to the pacing AgentApple - 24/11/2021 07:29:36 AM 922 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 965 Views
