  1. The show is not as political as you try to make it sound like.
  2. Anything is possible but that feels like a huge stretch. I thought the weave was similar to the one used on Tar Valon hospital that Nynaeve witnessed. The wound is far from healed. It looked like barely holding together and could reopen any second.
  3. The show has people of color and non-heterosexual people. Such a travesty! /s
  4. The Expanse authors had a large role in adapting the series
  5. S1E1 and S1E8. I'm not sure if it's mentioned in S2. I hope it will be expanded and explained more in S3
  6. This point is important. I bet we all would find countless complaints in any movie or show if we decided to analyze them half as much as WoT. I can notice some things that stand out as "weird" or could have been done "better" and still enjoy the heck out of WoT. I've read the books so many times I'm not sure if I'll ever reread the whole series. There's so many issues that take away from my enjoyment. The show has already made the journey fun and interesting in a way the books were on the first few reads.
  7. Fair. I don't remember what happened to the damane whose sul'dam Ryma made a pretzel of. I guess she also died? Ta'veren
  8. - In S2E2 Egwene and Elayne were talking while Nynaeve eavesdropped them. Egwene said "Where is Nynaeve when I really need her?". The finale was about that either purposely or accidentally. Yes, Nynaeve was trying to save her but was unsuccessful. -In the books, Eg&Nyn&El and Seta(?) learn the truth about the sul'dam. It doesn't have any major plot relevance (that I recall) for the seanchan POV's we get. Who even learns about it? Even though Tuon learns it in AmoL she doesn't do anything about it. Maybe it would have had a major role in the "outrigger novels". We'll never know. -If everything pays off the way it's supposed to, it would take away some of the tension. -Future seasons have the option to make the sul'dam reveal have a much bigger impact than in books. -Nynaeve trying to heal Elayne showed us the scale of her block. She will have even more reasons to (try to) get rid of it. These are generally about the a'dam connection. -Renna said if she dies, Egwene dies. Seta died and Nynaeve didn't. Renna lied trying to get free. This knowledge is perhaps important, perhaps not. -Renna released Egwene somehow by removing the bracelet. It didn't happen in S2E6 when she hung it up in Egwene's cell. Is there a secret button or is it a mental thing or what? Maybe they'll figure it out somehow. Just some thoughts.
  9. It feels to me that BS dislikes some very specific writing choices while the overall structure of the show and the way it's adapted is fine for him
  10. Show should either expand his role a lot or get rid of him. He appeared now and then for a few pages and ultimately didn't matter after the Battle of Emond's Field
  11. I don't like that long-time book fans warn new readers about the "slog"(which not every book fan, myself included, even consider to be an issue) and first few books being different from the rest. Allow them to make up their own mind as we did. I've seen a bunch of people in twitter say they couldn't finish the books due to several reasons and consider the show to be a better/more easily digestable version of them so far. I agree with many of their complaints regarding pacing, plotlines, writing etc.
  12. Why would he? Why didn't he just destroy them all with balefire? Surely he could have done it if he wanted to? Why does Ishy do what he does? Plenty of possible reasons that have been brought up over and over again.
  13. Brandon is discussing a bit in reddit. His account is mistborn
  14. Okay, I don't remember that well. It sounds like a very useful weave that just isn't used for reasons.
  15. It was not used again IIRC. One of those early-series things, like Moiraine's staff
  16. I'm confused with his negativity while also saying stuff like this. Ruins his credibility with WoT tbh
  17. Ehh, I'm not interested in watching close to 2 hours of BS complaining about the show. He hasn't even watched other episodes of S2..
  18. He got better book by book. The story is well thought out from beginning to end. I'm very interested to see how directly it will be adapted. It's both simple and very high fantasy.
  19. About WoT being about them all.. In book 1 & S1 Min saw the vision of "sparks" being consumed by shadow and how they were more bright and numerous when the EF5 were near each other. That concept wasn't brought up often in books, though.
