#saveWOT The Wheel of Time deserves to be completed with this wonderful cast. It needs to find another platform, #HBO, #AppleTV, or others, to give this amazing story the future it deserves. Fans don’t give up! #wheeloftime #Wotskies #Wotcon2025 #TheWheelofTime #JordanCon2025 #WOTIdol

I’m very sad to hear that Colin Renfrew, a giant in the field of Prehistoric Archaeology, has joined the realm of the ancients.
