who in this bitch reads robert jordan? -- The Wheel of Time thread

My 12-year-old kid turns to me at this point and says, “This is a good show.”

watching season 2 on prime now

ive been able to quite divorce it from the books now in my head, but can still lament how rushed it is to shorthand characters, intros, situations

but so it must be i guess

rewriting it with a focus on lazy kink is not something id have thought was required

but they are all very sexy so

I just binged both seasons last week. I've never read any of the books but I still could sense quite clearly that all of these characters & places were likely much richer in the books. The narrowing of scale is palpable, even as I enjoyed most of the final product.

tbh ive been recommended shadow and bone and never having read that first i think i recognise that sense

From hazy memory there's a whole raft of characters in that show that aren't in the books at all, or at least have only minor roles in the books.
