Both the writer of that article and the creatives of the show are idiots. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 29/09/2023 05:12:02 PM

Of course they see the Seanchan as a metaphor for European colonizers and the concept of Manifest Destiny. What could be more evil?

Randland was Hawkwing's empire that his descendants in Seanchan have come to reclaim. But that would be too gray for the creators of this show. They have to show the Seanchan as somehow more evil and more benign. Because the Seanchan believe they must fight the Dark One at TG. And they have to insert 21st century American discourse into everything. Because they are tiresome imbeciles without any original thoughts of their own.

Of course the creators also don't understand what a damane is - a pet, not a slave. No more than our dogs and cats are slaves.

Makes you wonder, then, how this show will end? Because bad news for you Rafe - the Seanchan control like 1/3 of Randland at the end of A Memory of Light. Though I think this show will be cancelled well before then.

Political considerations take priority over *everything* Tom - 29/09/2023 10:45:08 PM 222 Views
I mean, it's not like the show is good to people who subscribe to that political message, either. Legolas - 29/09/2023 11:59:35 PM 206 Views
Well, that's the problem with prioritizing political points Tom - 02/10/2023 01:58:14 PM 206 Views
The issues with the WOT creatives are the same as the Rings of Power creatives..... Anonymous2000 - 30/09/2023 03:40:33 PM 212 Views

Rafe doesn't understand heterosexual males. The Shrike - 02/10/2023 02:39:15 PM 201 Views
Absolutely - Rafe's job should be..... Anonymous2000 - 03/10/2023 01:33:28 AM 235 Views
In some ways the same, but there's one very big difference... Legolas - 02/10/2023 05:40:34 PM 201 Views
Also. I am ready for Ishamael and Mat to get it on. The Shrike - 29/09/2023 04:31:21 PM 221 Views

So this version of Ishamael does have some positives... but his motivation is insomnia? Seriously? Legolas - 29/09/2023 09:31:43 PM 221 Views
Good point on Ishamael..... Anonymous2000 - 30/09/2023 03:36:25 PM 206 Views
But what's their long-term plan for him? Cannoli - 01/10/2023 04:53:39 AM 235 Views
That's a good question - but then, there is much less of a long term than in the books. Legolas - 02/10/2023 05:28:36 PM 202 Views
Judkins has supposedly said that this season is getting the characters into place for the Bk4 plots Cannoli - 03/10/2023 12:37:47 AM 215 Views
Why would Moiraine and Lan casually follow Lanfear into the Ways? Anonymous2000 - 30/09/2023 03:33:27 PM 190 Views
Because there is only one episode to get to Falme where the climax is scheduled *NM* Cannoli - 01/10/2023 04:39:40 AM 115 Views
