Book Reader Wheel of Time Recap and Reaction: Season Two, Episodes 7-8
Episodes 7 and 8 of season 1 sharply turned me against the show. The good news is that is not the case with episodes 7 and 8 of season 2. Part of that is my dim view of the show … Continue reading
Book Reader Wheel of Time Recap and Reaction: First Six Episodes of Season Two
I’m trying not to hate-watch the Amazon Wheel of Time show. I really am. And succeeding! I don’t hate it. But then I don’t exactly love it either. SPOILERS abound below. Mostly for the show, but there will be book … Continue reading
Book Reader Looks Back at Season 1 of The Wheel of Time on Prime
What Friday would be complete without a Wheel of Time post? I’m not quite ready to give up on writing about the show yet. I recapped and reacted to each and every episode in basically real-time, but an episode-by-episode analysis … Continue reading
Book Reader Wheel of Time Recap and Reaction: Season 1, Episode 8
There are a couple primary problems with Amazon’s adaptation of The Wheel of Time. The first is a lack of respect for the source material. The second, and more serious, is that the show creators are not very good at … Continue reading
Book Reader Wheel of Time Recap and Reaction: Season 1, Episode 7
Changes in adaptation are inevitable. Making a TV show is a messy, collaborative process that demands endless tradeoffs. It’s an iceberg, because it happens almost entirely out of the public eye and, frankly, I know little about making talkies. But … Continue reading
Book Reader Wheel of Time Recap and Reaction: Season 1, Episode 6
I’ve been pretty lenient with the book changes up to this point. A certain amount of leeway is necessary—the change in format requires changes in storytelling, and any creator worth their salt is going to put their own spin on … Continue reading
Book Reader Wheel of Time Recap and Reaction: Season 1, Episode 5
The strident pleas of book hipsters and show apologists notwithstanding, after five episodes we have a sense of what we are getting from Amazon’s adaptation of a landmark work of epic fantasy. A high production value work that mostly looks … Continue reading
Book Reader Wheel of Time Recap and Reaction: Season 1, Episode 4
I am thankful this Thanksgiving season to have a high quality, high production value TV adaptation of my favorite fantasy series of all time. SPOILERS abound below. Mostly for the first four episodes of the show, but there will be … Continue reading
Book Reader Wheel of Time Recap and Reaction: Season 1, Episodes 1-3
It’s happening! And five hours early![1] I watched the first three episodes Thursday night (and started this post) and then watched them again tonight (and finished this post). If I can convince a member of my wife’s family, I will … Continue reading
Rereading The Great Hunt, chapters 47-50
In which the ta’veren three (and Hurin!) escape Falme but don’t get away, thousands of Seanchan and hundreds of Whitecloaks trap the four, Mat makes an impulsive decision to blow the Horn, Geofram Bornhald leads a doomed charge, Rand meets … Continue reading
