No crowd is harsh for these high action sports. first two songs that were played on the broadcast were 00s classics Safri Duo - played a live Darude - Sandstorm. Its super funny to me how some events seem to be 10-20 years behind the curve in music selection. imo thats sports events and amusement parks in particular. also food poisoning sucks. | ||

IIRC music like this is simply 10x cheaper to license. Get well soon! | ||

That was never on-screen in the books and I thought it was a fantastic way to introduce all of these themes and hook everyone in the process. The desperation is there, the importance of both halves working together is there, so is the choice to lose the war, or win it but be remembered as the guy who lost. That one moment fills every gap the show has left open. ....and they didn't do any of that. Instead we get a calm and almost disinterested conversation in a beautiful, apparently peaceful and prosperous city that serves absolutely zero purpose except to set up the dragon reborn [sic] as an arrogant moron. There's no hint of the war, not even any hint of the seriousness of the choice, except that latra somehow knows exactly what will happen but then just peaces out and leaves him to it. The people I was watching with got to see me go the full cycle from excited dog meme to fry meme to setting the couch on fire in like 30 seconds. Having walked away it's even more frustrating. I think they've chosen to take all the hubris and naivete and original sin that Jordan loads onto Lanfear's opening the bore, and instead attach it to LTT for closing the bore. That changes everything. I swore to myself from the start of ep 1 that I wasn't going to be precious about any of the details. They could have deleted half the main characters and put the taint on saidar and made egwene the dragon and I would have sat through it. Literally the one thing I needed them to keep was the tension between saving the world and destroying it that the dragon embodies. Instead he's just a dickhead. Why is it important that he's been reincarnated, again? I think the worst thing is that it seems like Rafe thinks this is a detail, when it's actually the soul of the whole series. It's maddening. (only just watched episodes 7 and 8 and came back to read ya'lls spoilers) At a high level I agree with the take that Eps 2-6 were not that bad. 8 was a letdown for me, 7 somewhere in between. Also agreed that it's probably totally fine TV (my GF likes it!) but not what I want from this world. + Show Spoiler + Agreed that the fakeouts in particular are pretty grating. Nyn "dying" was annoying. Presumably Loial is still alive simply because he's done so little that it wouldn't make sense to introduce him at all if he died here which I find particularly annoying. And I can't tell whether other things are genuine divergences from the books or just weird fakeouts/changes that I can't place - e.g. did they actually choose to still Moiraine here? Urgh. Oh also - man have they chosen to write in a whole lot of extra romances / lean into Lan/Nyn early! I don't love that just because I'd rather have spent all that time doing something else in the world, but whatever. I also continue to be thrown off by the pacing. It's by far the thing that I'm most sympathetic about; I get that we simply can't spend 4 episodes traversing the world without any major events happening. But I find it...stressful (?) to watch with someone who hasn't read the books and feel like they're missing out on so much context and backstory and such because of how quickly things are happening. SIdenote - apparently the budget for this was like $10 million / episode? It really doesn't feel like it lol. | ||
