  1. Jeez, my phone is like 3 of my thumbs wide, I can't type worth crap. Maybe if I figure out how to use the speech to text thingy
  2. I can't believe people do all this on their phones...
  3. @HeavyHalfMoonBlade So, how much work would it have been to have Rand fight Turak for a short bit to earn blade-master status instead of just using the power to kill him? This is the type of change I'm talking about that wouldn't have affected the shows length
  4. Yeah, forgot about Dexter & True Blood. TBF about SoT, I found out way after I read most of the books about Goodkind. I did notice the rip-offs, but later in the story it got a lot better, especially when Richard was playing in the Game of Life to get to the Emperor. Most of the story wasn't ripped off, just everything having to do with the lady magic users. No other books had Confessors or Mord Sith, and they helped to story stand out from others. If you didn't go past book 8, you missed out on a better story
  5. I am falling so behind in technology...
  6. My whole point was since you don't have time for everything, don't add stuff that wasn't in the books in the first place... Many adaptations were not done correctly and for people who only watched the shows did not get hyped up to read the books. Dresden is the best example of this and this book series is one of the best out there. Sword of Truth did one small thing, making Darken Rahl his brother instead of father. This meant the story would not be able to continue after a certain point. Don't get me wrong, I love that finally after so many years this book series is finally being done, but I have concerns on how they can get to the finish line if they make too many changes. I would rather them stop then ruin the beautiful story..
  7. Took me 30 minutes, but I finally got logged into Discord... Gud will show me how to use it.....
  8. My expectations are I know not everything can be involved, but that means there is no room to add things that did not exist in the first place. GoT - 1 Book = 1 Season. If they had concentrated on that the content would have been good enough they would have received more seasons beyond the 8. There could be some serious contraction of many parts of the series, I get that. Too many changes that were not needed. Look at other adaptations that failed solely because of straying too far from canon: Dresden, Sword of Truth, etc. You do it right, you will get extensions...
  9. I can totally agree. I started reading the books when the Dragon Reborn was released with so many re-reads since then, as well as listening to the audiobooks 5 times through. If I never read the books, I would probably think the series was awesome, but I have had soooo many disappointments through the watching. Rand was supposed to earn his heron mark with a sword fight, not a 2 second destruction with the power. When is Perrin going to show his mastery of the Dream World? Are they going to put Rand in the box? Are they ever going to say Saidar and Saidin? When are they going to start pronouncing people/places/things correctly? To me, the audiobooks were produced when RJ was alive so that is the canon on the correct pronunciations. I could go on and on, but as a WoT fan I guess I should just be happy a show is being produced, no matter how much it is being changed (botched!)...
