I'm really enjoying it. I missed it the first time around.
I think this time it was the strike. Before that it was the pandemic, something something something. You would think, having gone through the pandemic, that everyone in the industry would have understood that they couldn't afford another long hiatus in production. But no.
I think the idea was that Axel was messing with him, essentially satirizing how race discussions are conducted now.
I'm glad it was Flower, that character was really annoying and IMO did not add to the story.
Yeah, she was off-putting for sure, and very self-righteous about it, too.
Really good observation. I like your idea!
I totally agree with this.
I've never seen it before but just watched the first two episodes and actually it was great. Some of the music is a bit kitschy, and the 1980s women's suits with the huge shoulder pads are cringe, but the characters are really good and the story was interesting.
It really was! I miss shows that were just fun.
Yes, it was well done. I really enjoyed it. They also brought things back more towards the books albeit in a roundabout way, so that was good too. You could see in retrospect why they made modifications before, so they could pace things to have a particular reveal or moment at the time they wanted. For example, Matt's reveal was terrific, I thought. Very nicely done. The moment between Moraine and Lan, also very well done, beautiful. Rand killing the guards, very good, you could see how his interaction with Logaine prepared him, and also how he is more focused here because he's trying to get to Egwene. I liked that they brought Lews Therin into the prologue here because I was wondering when they were going to bring him in. I liked that they brought all the friends on to the top of the tower for the Dragon moment, that was nice.
So far, I think the best moment of the series has been the reveal of Nynaeve's power in Season 1. I was really looking to see how they did that and when they got there, I practically cheered, and I could see how they led up to it very gradually and hid it until they were ready, and why some of the showrunner choices that seemed strange, were, in retrospect, to protect and emphasize that important moment. Another terrific moment was seeing Rand get born and how he connects with his (adoptive) father. Now that I know that THEY know what the important moments are, I'm enjoying watching them lay the groundwork for those.
