I grow ever more thankful I didn't watch beyond the first episode. *NM* LiterateDog Send a noteboard - 06/12/2021 02:36:26 AM

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.

To be fair, keeping up with RAFO ain't exactly time-consuming these days - 08/12/2021 01:51:05 AM 478 Views

Nearly everything about the Whitecloaks is fatuous nonsense - 03/12/2021 11:16:56 PM 436 Views

He should bleed out right? - 04/12/2021 08:48:14 PM 437 Views
For story reasons, I doubt it. - 04/12/2021 09:48:44 PM 440 Views
