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 501 Views
I grow ever more thankful I didn't watch beyond the first episode. *NM* LiterateDog - 06/12/2021 02:36:26 AM 227 Views
But it's fun to watch and criticize! *NM* Anonymous2000 - 06/12/2021 03:13:06 AM 273 Views
I cannot understand any of you. LiterateDog - 07/12/2021 05:05:39 AM 399 Views
But you read these comments Tom - 07/12/2021 10:30:11 PM 390 Views
To be fair, keeping up with RAFO ain't exactly time-consuming these days aerocontrols - 08/12/2021 01:51:05 AM 462 Views
Fair point *NM* Tom - 08/12/2021 03:28:18 PM 215 Views
Not really, no. LiterateDog - 08/12/2021 04:37:11 AM 391 Views
Once again, you have taken a conversation down an unexpected and disturbing path damookster - 08/12/2021 03:15:35 PM 411 Views
That's my M.O.! LiterateDog - 08/12/2021 03:31:45 PM 355 Views
Hmm... Tom - 08/12/2021 03:28:02 PM 378 Views
Yes, the psychological factors can definitely be a significant part of it. LiterateDog - 08/12/2021 03:37:20 PM 389 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 251 Views
Great, just encourage him *NM* damookster - 08/12/2021 05:01:29 PM 244 Views
For once I'm more critical than you... well, on one point, anyway. Legolas - 03/12/2021 01:45:30 PM 403 Views
Wait wait wait Tom - 03/12/2021 01:49:47 PM 428 Views
You're not wrong damookster - 03/12/2021 02:10:19 PM 476 Views
WOTmaniacs, you are going to love this episode Narg - 03/12/2021 05:26:35 PM 445 Views
Narg, stay. Narg smart. *NM* Cannoli - 03/12/2021 08:31:00 PM 258 Views
Add Loial to the list of characters done wrong aerocontrols - 03/12/2021 09:04:09 PM 442 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 398 Views
The Seanchan fionwe1987 - 03/12/2021 10:56:31 PM 388 Views
That was just my speculation aerocontrols - 04/12/2021 04:05:00 AM 459 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 381 Views
You know what annoyed me? Floffe - 03/12/2021 10:35:48 PM 435 Views
Ummm... fionwe1987 - 03/12/2021 10:58:35 PM 390 Views
Nearly everything about the Whitecloaks is fatuous nonsense damookster - 03/12/2021 11:16:56 PM 424 Views
In concept... fionwe1987 - 03/12/2021 11:56:57 PM 399 Views
It's sort of doing this... Cannoli - 04/12/2021 07:39:08 AM 480 Views
Re: Valda damookster - 04/12/2021 05:04:18 PM 441 Views
Surely he's not dead? Just wounded, humiliated and out for revenge... Legolas - 04/12/2021 08:34:33 PM 377 Views
He should bleed out right? damookster - 04/12/2021 08:48:14 PM 424 Views
For story reasons, I doubt it. aerocontrols - 04/12/2021 09:48:44 PM 427 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 223 Views
Yeah, you're sadly right. Legolas - 04/12/2021 12:40:06 PM 388 Views
That episode was as pointless as Crossroads of Twilight! Anonymous2000 - 06/12/2021 03:12:28 AM 382 Views
