I never thought Mat was pro slavery. Uncollaring captured damane during a battle makes no sense. Though some would gratefully accept their freedom, many more were broken and would be a danger to all around them. Time enough after the Battle to sort out what to do with them.

Rand's criminal negligence of Mazrim Taim
DojoToad replied to Dark Ones Taint's topic in Wheel of Time Books
But I thought prophecy demanded a new crew of Dreadlords at the Last Battle. If Rand had done something about Taim, he would have broken prophecy. Maybe the Pattern prevented him from taking action... Though I was very frustrated with his lack of addressing the obvious need as well. -
Glad you loved it. I'm on my third full re-read since MoL came out. Though many of the early books have been read a dozen times. Are you that kind of psycho, or do you have broader horizons?

Drawn out over several books. But think I get your point and @Sir_Charrid's

I never said the bowl of the winds was pointless or unnecessary. I said the arc was too long - which you presented evidence in support of...
-
Yes - see below... Then it is You explained perfectly why it was too long. Thank you.

TRUTH

Jordan took too long with Bowl of the Winds. Hopefully the show improves on that arc...
-
I hope not. But wouldn't surprise me...
-
Ah yes...

Why not follow the books more closely?
DojoToad replied to phanooglestixs's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
I personally liked the Abel change though they were a bit ham-fisted about it. Mat being a bit of a scoundrel also good. Other changes not so much... -

Dang - going Biblical! Wouldn't have expected that from you. -
Rewatching season 1 before season 2 starts
DojoToad replied to Wassup's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
Let us know how it works for you. Do you like it more or less then on 1st and 2nd watch...? -
I probably would have liked the show better if I had never read the books. Though there were still problems with the show... Would have like a fantasy show, but still would have had problems with 'Dark Crystal' trollocs and terrible (IMO) battle scenes.

Think they might roll Bain, Chiad, and Gaul into Avi - must make sacrifices...

Why The Wheel of Time season 2 will be better
DojoToad replied to Elliot Edits's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
Very true. I didn't like it. But I think overall it was a success. -

DojoToad replied to Elliot Edits's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
With you on this. Hoping S2 is good enough to pull me back in. 🤞 -
Logain’s army? You are very generous. The scene was so underwhelming that the show never recovered for me. The forthcoming biggest battle in tv should help balance that out…
-
The price for the book might be higher, but when you factor in the 'free' shipping maybe not. It's a package deal...

Question about logain
DojoToad replied to Lightfriendsocialmistress's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
Yes, there is a difference. -

DojoToad replied to phanooglestixs's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
Right. But how did they approve S2 before S1 even aired? Couldn't be a cost/benefit analysis. There is something else they are looking at. Maybe they just had space to fill and nothing else to plug in? -

Perhaps. Time will tell. -

I think you are giving the show runner and his team a lot more credit than they have earned -
Amazon already has my money and has for for years due to our Prime subscription - which is well worth it for the free shipping and convenience (in my family's life anyway). So the subscription is not a factor for me, I don't turn it on and off. I liked many episodes going back to my heavy TV watching days, others don't - all good. For me, making a short 'season' even shorter by dropping multiple episodes at once is less than ideal. But I get it - I'm a dinosaur.

Yep - Seanchan not what I expected but look good to me. Not sure I like the release 3 episodes with only 5 to go. You see almost half the season in one go and the whole season over the following 5 weeks. Guess I'm still used to the network model when I was younger where a season seemed to last for half the year. Now six weeks and done. The streaming world is so different.
