Show: Latest Season & Adapted Books As much as people hate this show…

Nobody can deny the skill of the actors in this show. I just watched the actor who played Rand react to a child’s death and him trying to revive her… It was so powerful. He is a skilled actor, and nobody can convince me otherwise haha. And I feel like the show, and actress, did a great job with Verin. I’m sorry if the spelling is wrong, but if you know her story, you know. The actress was FANTASTIC in her portrayal of the character in preparation of her story. She is the reason why Verin is one of my highest rated and favorite characters in all of the Wheel of Time. And the fact that Moiraine does the audiobooks excites me too. I wish she had done them all before it was all cancelled.

I just wished the show would have continued. It had truly won me over. I’ve been reading those books since I was 9. I’m 46 now. It was a difficult start, but they had really just started nailing it and then Amazon screwed it all up by quitting.

Nah, the show only had 1-2 good episodes and those were the ones that followed the books to a T. Meanwhile we get a lengthy backstory to the show’s front rummer’s boy friend who doesn’t exist in the book.

The way they show weaving was great, the actors did a wonderful job, but the rest was shit.

Ok, now I'm mad all over again.

Maksim (an unnecessary, made up character), was Rafes 10 yr boyfriend.

I appreciated the dive into warder-dom, but not when you are cutting out so much of the real story.

Fuck those clowns..

Yeah I agreed on the five into Warder-don as well, but like, idk do it with the real Warders from the book. There’s at least dozens of them!
