Season 1 episode honestly didn't cost much less than that. They just had budget problems. Luckily they've gotten much better at managing the budget since then.

A large orb of a laboratory crashes towards the ground

A roughly Iris shaped tear in the fabric of reality

As the symbol of the Light fell,

The Eye of Dark rose.

Sightblinder indeed..as one crashes and the other turns its sight on Rand Al’Thor across time and space.

No worries. I'm not ruffled.

Jordan pulled from a lot of references, I think the thing is that Tolkien is just the most familiar. I will say that the early parts of the first book are the most heavy in Tolkien allusions, some of which was just because those were the popular tropes of the era. The show overall toned it down.

Yeah, the lack of mention is interesting. I just have to assume the tower took it and hid it away. It's too dangerous for Mat to be walking around with it.

Season 3, Episode 2 Spoilers in Image: This is made up of five images beginning with Rand and Lan practicing with the sword on their way to the Aiel Waste. Ryma and other Aes Sedai attempting to heal Mat, with beautiful weaves in yellow and blue streaming in and being woven by Ryma. Perrin, Bain & Chiad, and Loial walking out of the Waygate near the Two Rivers, and you can see doors that weren't there before. Elaida Sedai staring to the side in the Hall of the Tower as she is left at the White Tower by Morgase. And Egwene standing in the desert dunes with Bair/Amys of the Wise Ones. It's bright outside and she is dreaming.

One of my favorite parts of S3 of #TheWheelOfTime is the LOOK of what seems like every scene! These are five scenes I think capture major Episode 2 character highlights for Rand, Mat, Perrin, & Egwene, along with Elaida at the White Tower. I love this episode!

I sort of like Asmo but in terms characters or events I worry about getting cut he's low on my list.

So with all that said my modified best guess for seasons 1-5 is:

1. TEOTW
2. TGH
3. TSR
4. TDR/TFOH/LOC
5. "The Slog" + KOD.

In my opinion rushing to Dumai's Well is a mistake but squishing ACOS though AMOL into a single season would be a bigger mistake.

All 3 could fill their own seasons if needed. Squishing would be rough but possible. Honestly 7 seasons could work quite well. 6 would be... an actual ending, if nothing else.

I think to prevent chaos the plan for seasons 4 and 5 needs to be consistent regardless of whether they get (if they get) 6, 7, or 8 seasons. I think the final seasons, regardless of the numbers are very likely to focus on the Sanderson books.

As much as I don't like it, as someone who really loves TFOH and LOC, I think it was likely a choice between giving just one of books 4-6 a full season and TSR was the right choice for that. So I think season 4 will probably be an insane mashup of TDR, TFOH, and LOC.

But the trouble is we know that Rafe has plans to do it in 6, 7, or 8 seasons. And my mistake was just assuming he would adapt in a pace for 8 seasons and then wrap it up in 6 or 7 if he had to. And he could do that but it would be reckless. It could mean having to cram 7/8 books into a season 6!

Things have to be compressed. No matter how you try to configure adapting it in 64 episodes across 8 seasons some stuff has to get adapted in highlights or just broadstrokes. The question is just what? I took it as obvious that you'd want to give the most iconic books (arguably 4-6) the most time.

And I think that is a decent pace, especially just looking at the first two seasons. But based on the current season plus things Rafe has said I actually think that's pretty unrealistic.

So, I've changed my mind drastically on my thinking in terms of how I think the rest of the show will be paced relative to the books.

Previously my thinking was:
1. TEOTW
2. TGH
3. TSR
4. TFOH/TDR
5. LOC/Slog Pt. 1
6. KOD/TGS/Slog Pt 2
7. TGS/TOM
8. AMOL

I'll take the positivity I can get but it is fascinating that anything short of adapting scenes and dialogue directly from the books read purely as "bad adaptation" to a lot of people.

He would lose his hilariously false belief that he's Lews Therin's archenemy, which would be a shame.

I don't know if I'm psychologically ready for hot Semirhage. I'm going to need therapy.

I think he only names Ishamael. I think aside from Moghedien, Ishamael, and Lanfear that the only other forsaken the show has directly named is Graendal.

While I feel like the logic makes sense, Moghedien and Semirhage seemed to have statues clearly meant to be each of them.

Yeah, it felt extremely obvious but I think a lot of people were underestimating the show's attention to detail. That combined with the fandom's overwhelming preference for theorizing about everything. If it's a settled fact there's nothing to theorize about.

I think if she was going to be in season 3 they would have gone ahead and cast someone to actually play her for the season 2 finale rather than just using an extra. I think she'll be in season 4.

I hope so. She'd probably be the first one I'd keep.

It says March 12 for me. Maybe location matters?

That's not at all what I was saying. I'm not sure where you are in the series so I didn't want to spoil anything.

I think Sanderson just didn't get the character at all and wrote him as if he never had any character development for the entire series.

WoT show probably has the highest volume of bad faith critique I've ever seen. The only people doing genuine good critique are the ones who like it.

Elon: “Heil Hitler”
the press: “hmmm I wonder what he means by this”

If you’re planning on watching any Lynch, my advice is: don’t watch any analysis videos, don’t think about what stuff is “supposed” to mean, just get your own unique experience from it!!

I think people have become far too concerned with the “correct” interpretations of media. Just experience it!!!

< David Lynch & 6m・ It is with deep regret that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and the artist, David Lynch. We would appreciate some privacy at this time. There's a big hole in the world now that he's no longer with us. But, as he would say, "Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole." It's a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way.

Fucking hell

RIP David Lynch
