This entire episode was heinous. damookster Send a noteboard - 03/12/2021 01:30:35 PM

Moiraine saying the Borderlands funeral blessing? And what's the deal with burying everyone in a circle in shallow graves?

So many invented rituals, so many invented scenes. This is how you compress the story, by leaving out so much from the books and instead creating your own new filler? Why?

Why would a warder have to pray to escape Ishamael's notice? Their Aes Sedai shield their dreams! It's such bullshit. The religion, such as it is, of TWOT lacks any pomp and/or ritual. That was one of the defining characteristics of Jordan's worldbuilding.

I did kind of like Loial but he doesn't look anywhere near 10 feet tall. Plus him assuming Rand was Aiel and not commenting at all on the sword is as ridiculous as you stated.

I have been watching for the gratuitous pleasure received from hurling invective at the TV screen. That pleasure is receding. I'm going to try and finish this season - only three more episodes to suffer through - but after that I'm probably done.

This entire episode was heinous. damookster - 03/12/2021 01:30:35 PM 796 Views
I grow ever more thankful I didn't watch beyond the first episode. *NM* LiterateDog - 06/12/2021 02:36:26 AM 350 Views
But it's fun to watch and criticize! *NM* Anonymous2000 - 06/12/2021 03:13:06 AM 439 Views
I cannot understand any of you. LiterateDog - 07/12/2021 05:05:39 AM 692 Views
But you read these comments Tom - 07/12/2021 10:30:11 PM 655 Views
To be fair, keeping up with RAFO ain't exactly time-consuming these days aerocontrols - 08/12/2021 01:51:05 AM 759 Views
Fair point *NM* Tom - 08/12/2021 03:28:18 PM 338 Views
Not really, no. LiterateDog - 08/12/2021 04:37:11 AM 672 Views
Once again, you have taken a conversation down an unexpected and disturbing path damookster - 08/12/2021 03:15:35 PM 668 Views
That's my M.O.! LiterateDog - 08/12/2021 03:31:45 PM 617 Views
Hmm... Tom - 08/12/2021 03:28:02 PM 668 Views
Yes, the psychological factors can definitely be a significant part of it. LiterateDog - 08/12/2021 03:37:20 PM 675 Views
As if it wasn't already difficult to get these images out of my head. *NM* damookster - 08/12/2021 05:02:38 PM 382 Views
Great, just encourage him *NM* damookster - 08/12/2021 05:01:29 PM 386 Views
For once I'm more critical than you... well, on one point, anyway. Legolas - 03/12/2021 01:45:30 PM 666 Views
Wait wait wait Tom - 03/12/2021 01:49:47 PM 683 Views
You're not wrong damookster - 03/12/2021 02:10:19 PM 757 Views
WOTmaniacs, you are going to love this episode Narg - 03/12/2021 05:26:35 PM 729 Views
Narg, stay. Narg smart. *NM* Cannoli - 03/12/2021 08:31:00 PM 395 Views
Add Loial to the list of characters done wrong aerocontrols - 03/12/2021 09:04:09 PM 714 Views
I liked Loial - among the best things in this episode (though that isn't saying much sadly...). Legolas - 03/12/2021 09:56:30 PM 661 Views
The Seanchan fionwe1987 - 03/12/2021 10:56:31 PM 646 Views
That was just my speculation aerocontrols - 04/12/2021 04:05:00 AM 755 Views
It's a rumour that's been going around - and it wasn't a criticism, it'd be a good move really. Legolas - 04/12/2021 12:52:21 PM 664 Views
You know what annoyed me? Floffe - 03/12/2021 10:35:48 PM 716 Views
Ummm... fionwe1987 - 03/12/2021 10:58:35 PM 657 Views
Nearly everything about the Whitecloaks is fatuous nonsense damookster - 03/12/2021 11:16:56 PM 685 Views
In concept... fionwe1987 - 03/12/2021 11:56:57 PM 712 Views
It's sort of doing this... Cannoli - 04/12/2021 07:39:08 AM 774 Views
Re: Valda damookster - 04/12/2021 05:04:18 PM 704 Views
Surely he's not dead? Just wounded, humiliated and out for revenge... Legolas - 04/12/2021 08:34:33 PM 705 Views
He should bleed out right? damookster - 04/12/2021 08:48:14 PM 688 Views
For story reasons, I doubt it. aerocontrols - 04/12/2021 09:48:44 PM 685 Views
Exactly. Rule number one of TV: if they don't die on screen, they're not dead. *NM* Legolas - 04/12/2021 10:04:51 PM 364 Views
Yeah, you're sadly right. Legolas - 04/12/2021 12:40:06 PM 651 Views
That episode was as pointless as Crossroads of Twilight! Anonymous2000 - 06/12/2021 03:12:28 AM 660 Views
