My vote would be for something existing. Like the city of Merrilor, if that is where it is located.

Past Ages: A very basic, yet improtant question
HeavyHalfMoonBlade replied to Elvatuar's topic in Wheel of Time Books
I always had the impression that the Shadow could have two levels of victory. One within the constraints of the pattern where Rand is killed or turned, and one where the Dark One breaks the Wheel. This is only ever really hinted at as we don't see alot from the perspective of the Shadow. Though one reason to emphasis why this Age and Turning is important is to establish that just because it is the Wheel turning that does not mean that the Light has to win. Even if it created a paradox (how could the Dark One break free if he was not imprisoned) he could still do so. Though of course that also applies to every Turning and every Age, though that makes it no less important. -
Does the Towers of Dexys Midnight Runners count?

I grew up with only the choice of BBC1 or ITV, so no that does not ring any bells. I did watch "Dogtanian and the Three Muskahounds..." hmm, that is not an easy one to do. I've drawn a complete blank actually, the best I can do is "The Band of the Red Hand that Rocks the Cradle."

Yeah it is just like she looked into a crystal ball and looked straight into soul. Freaky.

I take your point, but it could also be cogently argued that the inconsistencies and other changes allow for more conjecture. Sadly all conjecture is just that now - no more turning of the Wheel to illuminate theories, no more answers from the Creator himself. Speculation has to the goal in and of itself.

The Most Controversial Topic of Our Times
HeavyHalfMoonBlade replied to imlad's topic in General Discussion
Beetroot is fantastic in nearly every application - that I have tried at least. Threads like these always make wince a little, after reading that a major red flag on dating profiles are people that list whether they like pineapple on pizza in their profiles as this indicates a complete lack of personality or even the understanding of what one is. I must say I don't fully agree with this, but it has definitely made me wary about expressing an opinion on the matter in public, lol. -
I also think it is important to realise that it is the change of author that is the main issue, not Sanderson himself. From the sounds of it, if Sanderson had finished the stories on his own we would have had a very different last three books, but the Jordan Estate did a lot of work with red pen on his manuscripts. I don't see how this would not lead to inconsistencies and unfinished plot lines. I find a lot of the last books disappointing - but in my experience, endings of epics nearly always are in some ways.

Of course everyone will have a different opinion of the overall quality of the show. The first series I would say had some huge production issues - a lot of scenes looked like low quality LARPing, especially with Rand's trademark shearling oversize coat. The end of the season, even with COVID and missing cast members at times is shockingly awful, like they just gave up and let the YTS guy have a go. It just annoys me when people want to change from discussion the show to politics, and even then assumed politics rather than what people have actually come and said. Or the attempt to prove "bad writing" which mean you have "bad writers" which means it is a "bad show" and should be cancelled, rather than looking at it as a thing that does somethings well, somethings not so well, somethings badly. New content in an IP should always be welcomed, even if it is not pulled off well. And for me, the show is good, and is also markedly improved in the second season. But of course, everyone else's milage may vary, and imho, these forums should be about discussing the successes and failures not for mounting attempts to vilify the whole endeavor, or sanctify it either. Hmm, not sure I am using sanctify correctly but too lazy to check so I'll just explain that here in detail instead. Much easier.
