  1. Now HBO is going to make a Baldur Gate series, maybe we will see if video games make better series, then a book does. But if these bomb people are saying it could scare off any major studio from pursuing fantasy series in the future.
  2. If ever there was a slim hope of WOT coming back, this pretty much kills it. Looks like Amazon has moved on. Michael B Jordan's 'Wheel of Time' fantasy rival takes a major step forward Seems like Amazon MGM studio is backing this now. But Michael B Jordan is backing it, so ummm at least they're sticking with a Jordan. Also wonder what this means for Rings of Power.
  3. Aginor tossing her about in book 1, would make him a true fear, she didn't know of the other Forsaken so would've been odd for her to think of those. Aginor was probably the scariest thing she had ever encountered. So that became her boogie man. It shouldn't be real which is why the Aes Sedai were surprised when she came out with real wounds also think her channeling in there surprised them.
  4. Most places still had a pretty conservative view of things before marriage. Rand mentioned in Two Rivers if a man and lady were caught having pre-marital relations they were basically forced to get married, So not odd people who suspect a man and lady sharing a room to be married. Not sure if Moiriane and Lan shared a room in the Two Rivers but once it was known he was her warder it probably wouldn't have seemed odd.
  5. Again, it's how one defines most successful? They all had some successes, well maybe except the ones in Book1. They took over nations, manipulated people, caused chaos etc. Dem to me still seems the one of the few who didn't go off on his own thing, with his own agenda. Not to mention, like Ishy, as the DO's top general Dem was sort of needed. Where most of the others (like Semi) were pretty expendable, besides power they didn't have any skills that made them truly irreplaceable.
  6. If you go by the books it was easily Demandred, at the end of book six he even asks the DO hasn't he done well or something like that. A lot of Dem's success was offscreen, freeing Taim, getting Taim accepted by Rand, uniting Shara etc. The chaos at Dumai's Wells was even suspected to be Dem's doing as to spread chaos which it did.
  7. Gaul was more embarrassed letting his guard down and getting captured then shame. There is no shame, just like an Aiel would never "touch" a wetlander in combat and expect them to surrender. Spanking was usually seen as an embarrassment/ humiliation. Novices were spanked becuase they were viewed as children and that was how one disciplines a child. It was rare for Accepted. It wasn't something the Aiel went right to, it was usually something someone asked to be done. When *forgot her name" was punished by the maidens for stealing, they welted her all over so she would itch, they didn't spank her as punishment.
  8. When people talk about how it makes no sense experienced Aes Sedai would be in awe or even let her take charge are forgetting how important strength in the power is to Aes Sedai. You see again and again in the books how they defer to the strongest. To me Egwene is the worst character, but she does see how Aes Sedai are too into "well this is always how it's been done" so they are pretty easy to manipulate.
  9. The rumor I read said there wasn't much writing started for season 4. maybe they suspected there might not be a season 4 so didn't bother. It would be interesting to see whatever they had started or discussed,
  10. Early in Two Rivers she shows no respect to the village council and I think and even hits Cein Blue with a stick. She was the show me respect as Wisdom but never felt she had to show others. I ended up liking her but early on she was a bully.
  11. Because early on she is simply a bully, throwing tantrums, talking down to others, and using threats to get her way. Later she is much more likeable as she grows, but early in the series she is simply someone who tries to bully her way through things.
  12. It would be too hard to simply pick up where the last show left off. You would need all the same actors etc. I think someone would have to start over from the beginning.
  13. You have to remember with streaming it's about how many new members did they add, if WOT wasn't really boosting subscriptions then it doesn't matter. It's great if current members are watching it, but they need new people to join.
  14. They might not have known but my guess is they at least suspected it was coming. The person at Amazon responsible for signing WOT was fired, so that's never a good sign. Not to mention the longer the delay is agreeing to a new season the more worry there should be. Finally, Amazon was already talking about cutting expenses.
  15. I honestly don't see someone picking it up. Is it worth the cost? Look at how much 3 seasons of this cost. I don't think season 3 costs have been released. But the production costs for the first two was something like $260 million. Season three had to be at least $130 million. Not to mention if someone else picks it up, do they start where this left off or at the beginning? How many seasons would be needed to finish this? Supposedly the rights have gone to /WOT Production Limited, and they do not have a very good history with things.
