  1. He's a grower, not a shower! Stop judging!
  2. The first series had its issues, undoubtedly. That did not appear to be the gist of your argument. You appear to be ignoring my points and doubling down on your unsubstantiated claims. I don't particularly care - a TV show of my favourite books has been cancelled. The fact that people like you think this is a good thing does not bother me hugely. As soon as you represent your opinion as fact rather than opinion it clearly shows that you have no idea what you are talking about.
  3. Who said it was little? I always imagined it was expressionless, lol.
  4. And you can prove that the drop off in viewing minutes is due to "massive diversions from the books" and not any other reason? For example, the necessity of condensing the story into 8 series of 8 episodes. And how do you differentiate between "book fans" and casual viewers on Prime? You seem to be making a lot of unsubstantiated claims.
  5. Proof AI is going to Skynet on us. That level of sass is not leading anywhere good, lol. 1 and 4 seem fairly useful for the cost. Could imagine a use for them and they are pretty cheap. Other opinions?
  6. IMO, you don't understand a lot about the books or the show. And your categorical claims about "book fans" only make that crystal clear. The statements you are making are demonstrably false. You did not like the show. A sizable portion of the fanbase of the books did not like the show. A sizable portion did. I did. Stop claiming you are representative of "book fans" and I am not.
  7. "In general", right. "Cursory glance", 100% backed up. Don't agree with you, your arguments suck and are based on your biases.
  8. Certainly true that unreliable narrators were a technique that Jordan never used. Absolutely not a theme in the books. Only the Dragon being a woman would have changed the narrative, it could be easily argued that the possibility (even if false) of the Dragon being a woman could have increased the dread waiting for him to be reborn and increased the distrust of the Aes Sedai. Just because you don't understand something does not make it stupid.
  9. I don't really like any of that. 3 sounds pretty good, but it is only one use. 2 sounds good, but we have fall damage reduction already as a passive. Don't really see anything worth the money. And why is a gold leaf worth less than 50 silver crescents in barter. That kind of of seems backward. Maybe I am misunderstanding.
  10. Really? Thanks so much for informing me that I am not a fan of the books. Or did you mean something different?
  11. Not that I know anything about it, but it seems apparent that there has been a Russian attempt to back up any right-wing ideology to sow dissension and stoke the tensions in Western society. So I could believe the stuff about gender issues in WoT would attract them.
  12. The issue I had with Faile is that when we only had Perrin's POV, her actions kind of made sense. But then we see her POV, and we see that she does not blame Perrin at all for the Berelain situation, yet she actively punishes him for it. I don't get how that makes any sense to anyone, nor have I ever seen any explanation that squares that with rationality. Approving of corporal punishment in consensual sex does not make sense of her actions, from my understanding at least.
  13. You keep using these words - I don't think they mean what you think they do.
  14. Rafe as a figurehead of all the influences on the show, from writers to producers to Amazon executives to the Light knows who, yet you lay any blame squarely on the Rafe. And you are so interested in WoT that you have 9 posts. Obviously we can barely stop you discussing your love of the books. This is emblematic of the personal attacks on Rafe in lieu of actual contentual criticisms. Efforts were made to make a sprawling story with nearly 3,000 named characters and several abrupt changes in narrative, and a heavy reliance on internal POV, into a TV series of 8 seasons with 8 episodes. Your subjective opinion is it wasn't done well. And you pretend this is an objective fact. Not something that lends confidence to the validity of your subjective opinion.
  15. Thank you 🥰 But it is hardly fair if you can lie with such a straight face, lol 🤣 Only joking, really I do appreciate the compliments, especially from an accomplished winner 😄
