"Men in their arrogance thought they could imprison Darkness" Isn't that what they had to do? Only they went about it wrong?

Combine that with the opening sequence with the Red we later discover is Liandrin (?) gentling/killing the crazy male channeler. She says as she gentles/kills him, "It's only for women. Your touch fouls it." Umm, you don't touch the same thing dear, so how would you know what his touch does?


It is possible that the arrogance was about them doing it by themselves, rather than men and women working together, though the relationship between both sides had broken down at that point and Latra Decume's plan looked to not be achievable anymore with the Choeden Kal keys lost, but still didn't support LTT's plan - so not sure what the end goal was at that point really.

I am not even bothering with 2 & 3. LiterateDog - 21/11/2021 09:51:46 PM 950 Views
Other than that, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 22/11/2021 12:32:59 AM 196 Views
No stars, would not recommend. *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 12:57:28 PM 186 Views
I thought my link might make you laugh. Definitely two snaps down! *NM* damookster - 22/11/2021 12:45:49 AM 260 Views

Ugh. My main goal in life is to NOT be respectable. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:25:52 PM 343 Views
Too bad! aerocontrols - 22/11/2021 02:59:24 PM 291 Views
A reasonable decision. Palatine - 22/11/2021 02:15:23 AM 457 Views
But I'm a thoroughly unreasonable person! LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:29:45 PM 331 Views
Then start acting like it! Palatine - 23/11/2021 07:00:54 PM 446 Views
Sanderson's providing some kind of running commentary... which does contain criticism. Legolas - 23/11/2021 07:59:10 PM 323 Views
Yes, I saw his comments on reddit. The Shrike - 23/11/2021 09:41:33 PM 356 Views
Great read, thanks so much for posting! Anonymous2000 - 26/11/2021 05:54:06 PM 338 Views
Glad to hear it. Palatine - 26/11/2021 07:10:34 AM 401 Views
Good, those changes seem completely unnecessary and pointless. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 26/11/2021 05:43:39 PM 194 Views
I think the point to remember is, the early episodes were never going to be that great. Legolas - 22/11/2021 08:46:33 AM 338 Views
Eh, I think you give them too much slack. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:33:04 PM 330 Views
It's possible I'll agree with that after having seen more episodes... Legolas - 22/11/2021 03:04:54 PM 320 Views
That's a big "if'. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 03:31:11 PM 353 Views

My work here is done! *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 04:01:43 PM 189 Views
Yes, it is a big 'if'. I guess I'm an optimist? Legolas - 22/11/2021 04:17:41 PM 331 Views
Agreed on - The Shrike - 22/11/2021 05:27:28 PM 340 Views
Yes - neat addition, I thought, as is the map with the comments. Legolas - 22/11/2021 08:37:19 PM 310 Views
I liked the maps too! The Shrike - 22/11/2021 09:36:09 PM 319 Views
Where are the extras ? :o *NM* AgentApple - 23/11/2021 05:42:40 AM 204 Views
Via X-Ray --> Bonus Content *NM* The Shrike - 23/11/2021 02:29:59 PM 183 Views
Hmmm I dont think I have that AgentApple - 23/11/2021 08:03:52 PM 315 Views
Apparently some people need to download the Amazon Prime app to be able to see them. Legolas - 23/11/2021 08:22:31 PM 317 Views
Thanks AgentApple - 24/11/2021 07:14:01 AM 348 Views
I kind of liked it AgentApple - 22/11/2021 10:29:21 AM 350 Views
So, doesn't suck nearly as much as some other shows? I can accept that. *NM* damookster - 22/11/2021 01:44:23 PM 259 Views

If the show gets as far as the battle of the Two Rivers he can be reformed AgentApple - 22/11/2021 03:50:08 PM 307 Views
I'm kind of happy for you. LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 02:37:46 PM 297 Views

Well said! *NM* damookster - 22/11/2021 03:17:18 PM 246 Views

Just came across a related article... Legolas - 23/11/2021 06:23:31 PM 339 Views
The Guardian's views on the show are . . .not to be trusted. The Shrike - 23/11/2021 09:50:01 PM 309 Views
Yep. But it's pretty weird how many entirely different things people are seeing in it. Legolas - 23/11/2021 11:06:24 PM 313 Views
Madden's read to book 11, apparently fionwe1987 - 24/11/2021 02:57:46 AM 298 Views
Oh has she? Must've changed her mind since the earlier interview, then... and read quickly. Legolas - 24/11/2021 08:17:24 AM 335 Views

That about sums it up, yeah! *NM* fionwe1987 - 27/11/2021 03:38:18 PM 170 Views
After all this time, you still can't handle the quoting system? Legolas - 27/11/2021 09:21:42 PM 310 Views
And they screwed that up so far! GOT..... Anonymous2000 - 23/11/2021 01:19:19 AM 305 Views
Yeah, what you said. Aviendha - 05/12/2021 03:02:15 PM 320 Views
Also why is every city from the past influenced by the LOTR movies? The Shrike - 22/11/2021 03:16:13 PM 306 Views
Yes, I greatly dislike what they've done with the the White Tower. *NM* LiterateDog - 22/11/2021 03:31:47 PM 194 Views
That's a good point - not a fan of what they did with the White Tower, either. Legolas - 22/11/2021 03:37:36 PM 277 Views

According to the Dragonmount YouTube review as of the end of episode 6 it’s still just One Power *NM* damookster - 24/11/2021 04:34:32 AM 155 Views
Episode 4 makes it pretty clear fionwe1987 - 26/11/2021 10:40:07 PM 295 Views
Fair enough gban007 - 24/11/2021 09:02:50 AM 358 Views

With regards to the pacing AgentApple - 24/11/2021 07:29:36 AM 295 Views
Considering that it's still not revealed by the end of episode 6 who the Dragon Reborn is... Legolas - 24/11/2021 08:22:02 AM 318 Views
