I do have some somewhere. None digital though

It made perfect sense if you played the games, but even most people I know who don’t play games at all still loved it. It’s my sister’s favourite new show. My wife loved it. to each their own, but imo it’s beloved for very good reason. And Maximus is supposed to grate on you. He’s a kid with no education who grew up in a military cult. He’s extremely confused and doesn’t understand the world around him.

Well, to any fan of the games it is brilliant. One of the best adaptations ever made, frankly. It has its own story, but it really, really captures the world of fallout. you’re definitely the minority. It’s one of their highest watched and rated first seasons ever.

I have RR29. Got it from a charity D&D game he was involved in at a book convention. The tickets were very expensive, and there were only 4 spots. RJ played, there was a “professional” DM. He gave the four of us copies. It was 3 hours and one of the coolest days of my life. That was the first half of 2003 I believe.

Then I assume you don’t like Fallout? Because it captures the game world perfectly.

Oh, I’m in no way trying to malign DM, just pointing out WoTMania was once a very lively place to talk about the series

To be fair, it was inferior. Wotmania was far more active with lively discussion for many years before its demise.

WoT doesn’t have too few fans, it sold over 100 million books. Do you people just say things? the reason it had a billion minutes watched for its first 3 episodes is the book fans. Just like the reason s2 total only has 515 million watch minutes is that most of the book fans stopped watching.

Wot is one of the worst shows Amazon has made. Fallout is easily their best. and Maximus has problems, but nothing on par with Judkinsdisgusting treatment of the characters in WoT.

And yet Judkins biggest accomplishment will be destroying the first screen adaptation of a beloved IP. I’ll take dead RJ or alive Judson’s any day, skeleton and all. At least the skeleton once created something great!

I quit 15 minutes in to episode 3 of the first season, and was put off immediately by the very first scene. Not only skipping an incredibly important prologue, but then Elaida completely misrepresenting Saidar and Saidin to the audience in her speech to Logan. Perrin then kills his…. Wife??? WTF! The dragon can be a girl! the boys are ignored for most of the runtime of three episodes. I’ve heard it doesn’t get better. Three of the 7 most important characters in the series, one the literal main character. Ignored. Not one of these changes was required to adapt the show. Not one moves the plot/story in a better way, none of them are in line with anything that is in the Eye of the World. It is just nonsense. None of the changes are in service to the story. . And that is just the first episode. By the start of the 3rd I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It made me profoundly sad, because I don’t ever want this series or its characters tainting the pictures of the characters and world drawn by my mind when I reread a book in the series, usually yearly. I see so much wrong. It’s not about having to cut things and adapt for screen, that’s not what happened here. They just don’t respect the source material.

I guess you don’t read very well?

The same way we made very few for 5000 years up to the creation of Electricity in the 20th century. Before that it was a very slow march. And they had Aes Sedai to help with a lot. Half the population was terrified of advancement based off their known history with it.
