How many times have you watched?

[KnightWhoSaysNi]

I’ve watched Episode 1 three times so far… introducing new people to it and whatnot… and I keep catching new things I’ve missed in previous watchings.  For instance, the dragon fang with the sheep, missed that the first time around. Was that the Trollocs (most likely, but I don’t remember Trollocs being THAT intelligent) or someone doing that to scare someone off?  
 

And Perrin’s wife, Laila.  I’m questioning if she may or may not be a dark friend like people have suggested.   I watched the 2nd time specifically looking for clues….  When Perrin says “I love you” she responds “I know”.  Not a typical response of a married couple.  (Unless you’re in the cloud city of Bespin about to be frozen in carbonite).  But the way she attacked the Trollocs, makes me question it.  BUT… she then looks like she’s about to smash Perrin’s skull in with the hammer.    It’s all very confusing, but I like it better thinking she is a dark friend.  Thoughts?

 

Still feel the episode was rushed and could have used more character development, but they’re getting there in the later episodes.   Watching episode 2 for the second time now.  
 

I’m still excited about this series.  I know it’s going to be different than the books, but damn, I e been wanting this for so long!!

[Daenelia]

I watched every episode once. So far. And I watched 20 minutes of ep 1 again. I'll be rewatching it in bits. O just dont have the time! Maybe between xmas and new years.

Ok.  I did not know that.  Thanks for confirming.  ?

[Gothic Flame]

Once is enough.

I give any new show I've an interest in 3 episodes to win me over.

Only if I enjoy what I'm seeing will I repeat/rinse.

 

[Vambram]

I have watched Episodes 1 - 3 x4

I've watched Episodes 4 - 5 x3

 

I have watched Episode 6 twice.

 

My favorite action scene is The Battle of Winters night. 

 

My favorite single moment is when Rand al'Thor saw Dragonmount and said,  "I remember seeing that before."

Maybe it's a forsaken disinfo campaign to get common people to hate the Dragon/Dragon Reborn ?

 

I've watched them all 3 times so far I think, except for Episode 5 which I've watched twice.

People have seen so many things I've missed that I'll have to re-watch.  I don't know when I'll find the time.  I'll need to use subtitles as well because I've missed a ton of what's been said.  Mat is almost impossible for me to understand.

I'm not going to take anyone's word for who or who is not a darkfriend. Darkfriends are wily and will deny their darkfriendery.

[Agitel]

Each episode twice.

[Elder_Haman]

Episodes 1-3: seen each 4 times.

Episode 4: 3 times.

Episode 5: Twice.

[Wassup]

2 times each, so far. 
The first time is as a book fan so I can get any excitement and disappointment out of the way.

The second time I am a little more relaxed and can enjoy it as the show and maybe pick up Easter eggs. 
I will view each at least one more time when I get my daughter (and maybe wife, doubtful though) to watch it. My wife and I have to finish Ozark first, though. 

[Maximillion]

E1 - 3 times

E2 - 3 times

E3 - 4 times

E4 - 4 times

E5 - 4 times

[SinisterDeath]

E1 - 1 Time

E2 - 1 Time

E3 - 1 Time

E4 - 1 Time

E5 - 2 Times. (Only because people wouldn't stay quiet while I was watchin' it)

[CaddySedai]

Two apiece. 

[Spiritweaver1]

Two apiece except E5.  The second time through was a binge which made me think more about the story arc as a whole instead of  focusing  on the pieces.   I fear that perspective may be the metaphorical dagger from Shadar Logoth for me on this show.

sacrilège!

[dorotea]

Once each epi. Trying to talk myself into re-watching but my heart is really not into it. Too many moments  that are plain cringey and awkward. Ep 5 especially even though it gave us the best Nynaeve scenes so far, with her not jumping trollocks with a sword but just being wise and empathic. Maybe later, when the season is done I will try to rewatch with a remote and a bottle of red.

[SinisterDeath]

Deleted Off Topic Posts.

[DojoToad]

Twice each for episodes 1 through 4.  I think that was enough to know if I like it or can learn to like it.  Nope, that's all Amazon gets from me - at least until I see encouraging news that the show has turned around.

[notpropaganda73]

I've watched everything twice through apart from episode 5. I'm gearing up to rewatch it later and hoping I can look at it a bit more analytically seeing as I was so underwhelmed first time round. 

 

[thievingsackofpotatoes]

Pretty sure I've watched them all 3X at this point (except Ep5 - that's only 2X).

 

Have to say, like some others have noted, I find the second watch a much better "viewing" of the episode. I'm able to chill and not be such a spazz.

 

I can also reflect on the merits of the episode a bit more. First viewing is WoT fan perspective and second viewing is film/tv critique. 

[SharSheen Veren]

Just each episode once,  Will rewatch upon conclusion.
