I liked Loial - among the best things in this episode (though that isn't saying much sadly...). Legolas Send a noteboard - 03/12/2021 09:56:30 PM

View original postAnd it looks like Dain Bornhald gets to hate Perrin for 'summoning wolves to kill my father' instead of the Falme episode that's likely never going to happen now because we're probably not doing the Seanchan in the television series. Looks like we're going to be skipping most of Book 2.

Yeah. Not without reason, in fairness - large parts of tGH really contributed rather little to the larger storyline. And while the Seanchan as a whole do contribute significantly, they are also relatively easy to detach from the main plot and set aside, if you want to reduce a 14 book series to 8-ish seasons of television, so it would make a lot of sense if they did that.
View original postWhich is fine. We can skip the storylines from the best books in the series as long as we get a double dose of Path of Daggers.

A large part of PoD is Rand fighting against the Seanchan, as I recall, so consider that cut as well.

This entire episode was heinous. damookster - 03/12/2021 01:30:35 PM 427 Views
I grow ever more thankful I didn't watch beyond the first episode. *NM* LiterateDog - 06/12/2021 02:36:26 AM 186 Views
But it's fun to watch and criticize! *NM* Anonymous2000 - 06/12/2021 03:13:06 AM 230 Views
I cannot understand any of you. LiterateDog - 07/12/2021 05:05:39 AM 332 Views
But you read these comments Tom - 07/12/2021 10:30:11 PM 326 Views
To be fair, keeping up with RAFO ain't exactly time-consuming these days aerocontrols - 08/12/2021 01:51:05 AM 346 Views
Fair point *NM* Tom - 08/12/2021 03:28:18 PM 173 Views
Not really, no. LiterateDog - 08/12/2021 04:37:11 AM 328 Views
Once again, you have taken a conversation down an unexpected and disturbing path damookster - 08/12/2021 03:15:35 PM 350 Views
That's my M.O.! LiterateDog - 08/12/2021 03:31:45 PM 303 Views
Hmm... Tom - 08/12/2021 03:28:02 PM 312 Views
Yes, the psychological factors can definitely be a significant part of it. LiterateDog - 08/12/2021 03:37:20 PM 330 Views
As if it wasn't already difficult to get these images out of my head. *NM* damookster - 08/12/2021 05:02:38 PM 203 Views
Great, just encourage him *NM* damookster - 08/12/2021 05:01:29 PM 194 Views
For once I'm more critical than you... well, on one point, anyway. Legolas - 03/12/2021 01:45:30 PM 346 Views
Wait wait wait Tom - 03/12/2021 01:49:47 PM 368 Views
You're not wrong damookster - 03/12/2021 02:10:19 PM 406 Views
WOTmaniacs, you are going to love this episode Narg - 03/12/2021 05:26:35 PM 370 Views
Narg, stay. Narg smart. *NM* Cannoli - 03/12/2021 08:31:00 PM 216 Views
Add Loial to the list of characters done wrong aerocontrols - 03/12/2021 09:04:09 PM 374 Views

The Seanchan fionwe1987 - 03/12/2021 10:56:31 PM 329 Views
That was just my speculation aerocontrols - 04/12/2021 04:05:00 AM 392 Views
It's a rumour that's been going around - and it wasn't a criticism, it'd be a good move really. Legolas - 04/12/2021 12:52:21 PM 321 Views
You know what annoyed me? Floffe - 03/12/2021 10:35:48 PM 374 Views
Ummm... fionwe1987 - 03/12/2021 10:58:35 PM 323 Views
Nearly everything about the Whitecloaks is fatuous nonsense damookster - 03/12/2021 11:16:56 PM 352 Views
In concept... fionwe1987 - 03/12/2021 11:56:57 PM 329 Views
It's sort of doing this... Cannoli - 04/12/2021 07:39:08 AM 415 Views

Surely he's not dead? Just wounded, humiliated and out for revenge... Legolas - 04/12/2021 08:34:33 PM 318 Views
He should bleed out right? damookster - 04/12/2021 08:48:14 PM 353 Views
For story reasons, I doubt it. aerocontrols - 04/12/2021 09:48:44 PM 360 Views
Exactly. Rule number one of TV: if they don't die on screen, they're not dead. *NM* Legolas - 04/12/2021 10:04:51 PM 183 Views
Yeah, you're sadly right. Legolas - 04/12/2021 12:40:06 PM 325 Views
That episode was as pointless as Crossroads of Twilight! Anonymous2000 - 06/12/2021 03:12:28 AM 326 Views
