What's your favorite video breakdown to watch after each episode?

[EduardoEnriqueGonzalez]

What's your favorite YouTube channel for breaking down everything you might have missed and just summing up each episode? Feel free to name more than one!  

[Daenelia]

None, tbh. I just follow the forum and if I missed anything, it goes in my 'rewatch guide' to loom out for when I have time to rewatch the whole show.

 

I am now tending towards re-watching it in January, when I think I'll have some extra time. Which is also why I dont waste my time on YouTube.

 

Also: dont miss out on inftroducing yourself in the forums ? : https://dragonmount.com/forums/forum/72-introduce-yourself/

 

Welcome to the forum, in advance ?

Daniel Greene is usually solid, but Snoozy K and the Everyday Negroes are my favorites right now. Snoozy K does fresh book analysis/predictions and compares it to the show, and Everyday Negroes just do the show I think, but definitely check them out. Particularly if you’ve read the series a bunch of times because it’s fun to see it through a first time read/watch perspective. 

[Skipp]

Daniel Greene, LesbiNerdy, Nae'blis all provide solid breakdowns and all have differing view points on which what is important which helps.

 

For reaction videos I am absolutely loving pReview'd.  The duo has 1 book reader and 1 nonbook reader and it is interesting to see how each react. 

 

Also Everyday Negroes has been pretty awesome in terms of reaction, "Brother Book!" & "Medieval Mick Jagger"

[Elder_Haman]

Another shoutout to Everday Negroes. Also Unravelling the Pattern. My amount of spare time varies, but those are the two that I will not miss.

[DaddyFinn]

"Sister Strongjaws" is my favorite from the Everyday's lmao.

When they said Loial sounded like the Arby’s guy haha, “Arby’s, we have the books.”

Yes, those are the two that I'm watching. One for a very entertaining view of how anyone new to the story might be seeing the show.  The other for the best analysis of all the details that I might have missed.

[chri5]

Unraveling the Pattern is my favorite. He has been releasing them the day before the next episode drops, and I like how he tries to keep them spoiler free for non-readers.

 

I've come to like Daniel Greene more as the season has progressed.

[Vambram]

My favorites are The Dusty Wheel, Daniel Greene, Naeblis, Tori Talks, Everyday Negroes, and WoT UP.

 

 

I am very excited that Brother Book and SisterStrongJaws are now a part of our vernacular in WoT fandom.

The only one that I have not seen mentioned - and I enjoy all the ones shared so far - that is a true breakdown discussion is Reading the Pattern.

 

KritterXD also does enoyable (imo) reaction videos - most of her work is on TikTok but she puts some of it on YT (where I get to enjoy it).

Thank you for the reminder. I also enjoy KritterXD on youtube. 

[elteryon]

Just queued up a seriously unwatchable amount of YT videos....for real, if I get to 10% I'll be lucky :).

 

So much fun to have new WoT content to discuss, and I'm excited to see some of the non-reader reactions. I haven't been able to convince any of my non-reader friends or coworkers to watch yet.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Thx

 Brother Book

[DigificWriter]

Three that haven't been mentioned yet: 

Amazon Prime's Inside the Wheel of Time w/The Dusty Wheel Aftershow

Maidens of the Spear's reader and non-reader reviews

The Amrylin's Study's reaction videos/analyses

[DermidAjala]

Unravelling the pattern is great for informed recaps, but I have to say I'm enjoying the complete newbies more than WoTheads.

 

I really enjoy and would recommend redlaytee's channel if you're interested in non-reader reactions because she asks loads of really great questions and theorises as she goes. It's fun to see where she's on the mark but also fun to see what she misunderstands and what the show sets up for someone else who is watching a bit more attentively than some others.

 

as @Skipp said the preview'd guys are a pretty fun too - one who is completely new to it and one who has read the books and clearly loves lots but doesn't remember all and doesn't want to spoil his friend.

 

I also really enjoy the Reaction Dragonz and All Maverick channels because they're quite attentive group watches and clearly make some effort to get things right (ie making notes on names) while theorising and just enjoying the actual show, though they are a couple of eps behind still.

Bianca and books Is nice

[ArrylT]

Just discovered another Breakdown video (and podcast) called WoTSpoilers.   About to check out Epi1 breakdown.   But apparently there is a a theory that in Ep3 (and this will be discussed in their Ep3 breakdown) the miners of Breens Spring are not mining ore, but AoL artifacts.

 

And of course don't forget DragonMount has its own podcast that discusses each episode.   I think they can be accessed both on the site & on YT. 

[Skipp]

I am also really enjoying Jessie Gender.  They have never read the books before and is doing an after episode breakdown for each on there Jessie Gender after dark channel.  I really enjoy listening to non book readers speculate what is happening.

 

 

[elteryon]

Got through an initial screen of Episode 1 reviews from some of the recommended options.

 

I will be finding time for Everyday Negroes. Love the takes and Sister Strongjaws is just impeccable.

 

Unravelling the Pattern had a ton of good content, but I found myself struggling to pay attention. Might have been the late night/binge of reaction videos. Will definitely give it another shot.

 

Thought Naeblis, pReview'd, Daniel Greene were decent, but only have so much time and those will be a luxury.

[TheMountain]

I can't watch the Dusty Wheel lol. He is way too positive about everything.

[Kudzu]

These are the ones I try to catch every week. Though I don't always have time to watch everything from Dusty Wheel and Maidens, they do some long streams.

 

Content from Readers:

The Dusty Wheel

Maidens of the Spear

Daniel Green

 

Content from Non-readers:

Everyday Negroes

Tread R&R

Matthewvhaynes

 

 

 

[notpropaganda73]

Watched the Everyday Negroes reaction to ep6 on account of all the recommendations here, and I love them, pure joy watching the show hahaha

 

The scene where Liandrin confronts Moiraine (the 2nd time), one of them just goes "Back up shawty!" and it had me roaring laughing 

 

Brother Book! 

[bryce0110]

I love watching Daniel Greene, The Dusty Wheel, and Nae'blis. I almost always share the exact same opinions as Nae'blis as well, which makes it fun to see that reflected.
