It doesn't feel rushed like the first season did and the changes they are making from the books are super interesting. I'm really hoping the strike doesn't fuck this series up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Watched the first episode tonight. Uhhhh it’s fucking fantastic. It wiped away the entire scent of the god awful finale of S1. It does what S1 never allowed itself to to take the time to do. Spend an entire episode slowing down and just spending time with the characters. And I really really liked S1 until the finale. Man I can’t wait for the rest of this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Do I really need to watch season 1 to start season 2? Because I couldn't force myself past episode 3. Can I just read a summary and then start the new season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyHell Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 S1 was so bad, I will not continue to taint my most beloved book series growing up with whatever Judkins has done to it. I prefer just to not have the property tainted like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneticBlueprint Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 One thing that is so glaring in every episode is how much better of an actor Rosamund Pike is than literally everybody else in this show. Especially in contrast to some of the other the leads. Namely Perrin and Rand. Especially Rand. But especially Perrin. God he is just terrible. And no it’s not because he’s dour and gruff all the time. Good actors can pull that off and become fan favorites (i.e. Rory McCann). The new Mat, on the other hand, I find much more charming and rogue-ish than the guy he replaced. So that’s a win. It’s also clear where they don’t direct their budget. The most obvious example being the music composition and direction. It’s all forgetful and plain at best and fucking god-awful at worst. Like a fucking A.I. model trained to write the most boring generic fantasy soundtrack of all time. But where they do put their money absolutely shines. The visuals and cinematography in this show are really good. Not the best I’ve ever seen but still awesome. Despite my complaints I still very much enjoy the show on the whole! I’ll probably buy the blu rays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand wondering why something shares a name when it deviates so far from the source material that it’s unrecognizable (i.e. that Halo show) but that’s certainly not the case here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and I'm finding a lot of the changes interesting at least. This season has fixed my major issue with season 1 (pacing) and I'm excited to see where it is going.

I don’t want to spoil anything but I’d say that of the mains, Perrin is the one who suffers the most from the series becoming overlong and bloated. He has entire books where he’s either barely present or does very little. This also means that he changes and develops the least as well. Also you should join my re-read thread!

Yeah Ep 6 is easily the best episode of this whole show so far. They did a better job in one episode conveying imprisonment and a character being broken mentality than GoT taking whole season to do poorly. Lanfear is amazing.

Agreed my theory is: Spoiler Lanfear will be Rand's love interest for the series. This avoids the whole 3 love interests that wouldn't really play well on screen with the time it would take to develop them. Would be nice to see Lanfear redeemed here.

I’m so glad they’ve removed “everyone loves Rand even though he’s an insufferable prick” thing. I’m also a big fan of Rand being less of a miserable prick so far. Its also nice that since none of the kids are particularly strong actors, Lanfear and Ishmael are brining some more chops to their scenes so it’s not such a dramatic difference when Rosmund Pike is crushing every scene she’s in haha” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda hope I am wrong about that though I do enjoy the Mat and Tuon pairing in the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
