This has to be the best casting decision for entire show. I largely did not like many of their decisions but she would kill as Elaida.

It is a large exaggeration and was directed personally to the poster in the form of "people like you." No one is making entire channels to hate on the show. The poster came here to discuss it with other fans of the material. It is fine for people to like the show. I heavily dislike it but I state often that I am happy that some folks like the show. I do not tell folks who like the show to be quiet or that they are flushing their lives down the drain.

"The time ppl like u waste ranting & making entire YT channels to hate on a show is just flushing ur lives down the drain."

Feel free to personally attack the poster. At least people who criticize care about the material enough to engage. It is far worse when apathy strikes a brand. Life is too short to be told you have to accept whatever they give you and like it or just switch it off an be quiet.

I am sure they will write a metric load of content that never appeared in the books and focus on side characters etc. They have plenty of runtime to hit some major areas but you can see from seasons 1 and 2 that they will add a lot of their vision and filler.

They cannot recover at this point.

Thank you! Modern TV series where you go a year between seasons is awful. We used to get 22 eipides or 800-900 minutes of content with 3-4 months between seasons. We are now lucky to get HALF that amount of content and have to wait 1-2 years between seasons. Production values do not compensate.

The core main characters in book 1: Rand, Mat, Perrin, Egwene, Nynaeve, Morraine, Lan. The core supporting characters in book 1: Thom, Loial You can also make an argument that the following characters were critical to introduce in book 1: Min, Tam, Elaida, Bayle, Elayne, Galad, Gawin. Meeting Rand was one of the core reasons Elaida performed the tower coup. Instead, were got a lot of characters that did not matter for season 1 like Liandrin and Logain, and even Siun. People argue that introducing Elayne in season 1 to have her wait around. Well, what about Logain. He does not become important until the coup and escape to Salidar while Elayne, Bayle, and Thom all had major roles in book 2. They added a load of trash that never happened into season 1 while ignoring core characters and core supporting characters.

Great list! You should check out the following: Eureka Burn Notice Warehouse 13 12 Monkeys For all Mankind Silo Babylon 5

There is a lot of free will. Tigraine was given a choice by Gitara. It was not a great choice, but it was a choice. Morraine was given a choice by the wise ones to go to Rhuidean. They saw possibilities in the Dream. The portal stones all showed different choices and decisions.

I just go back to the fact that the show seems dead. Amazon was all fired up regarding getting the merch rights etc and they have done nothing with it. Ta'Veren Tees was better in every way. It is not marketed and you do not continue to see buzz around the show. Even here the forums are quiet.

High Castle is a great show. It has an intriguing premise and it is well written and acted.

I think your thread is the only thing keeping this forum alive right now. This may also prove the lack of ratings point.

There it is again. Directs insults of ignorance and then the tired gatekeeping argument that gets trotted out to malign anyone who disagrees with the elites who want to tell you what you should like. I can play the same game here. I have a degree in publishing with focuses on creative writing and screenwriting. I have worked in the field for a long time. I find the writing on the show lazy and poorly done. Does my education suddenly make my opinion more worthy and less ignorant and naïve?

I agree, which is why I said that those arguments detract from the point of the thread.
