I just figured Moiraine cast her Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo spell to clean their clothes at the end of each day.

I liked a lot od things about the show. Others were kinda painful. In conclusion the Westlands are a land of contrasts

This is the same show where Nynaeve's belt is designed to look like a flowing river, they pay an insane amount of attention to details that inform the character. Also they're very wet because of the rain, which makes them look shinier.

Sorry dude, you're the weird one here and a real nitpicky one, too. There's a number of legitimate issues you can have with the show, but the one you have is very dumb.

Honestly since everyone in the books is always walking around in full length sequined ball gowns it'd be weird for Lan's boots NOT to be shiny

th3t00t posted:It's really not an important plot point until book 5 and then doesn't really matter again until book 14. Why waste any of the limited economy of story telling and screen time of season one on Steppin, to hammer such a minor point that won't matter until late season 4? It's not a minor point and it's more important than you're making out. A Warder is a lot more than just a bodyguard to his Aes Sedai even if they're not all Myrelle "gently caress Them Back To Life Again" Berengari. The sheer strength of the bond and the meaning of it being broken is vital in defining that relationship.

Chalk me up with "that was a waste of an episode". Especially considering how poorly the majority of characters and plot points were fleshed out due to lack of time. There are better ways to convey to importance of the bond rather than following some random warder that commits sudoku.

I think the Stepin plotline was put in for people who haven't read the books. I thought it was an interesting episode when I first watched it, and I understood the importance after reading the books. I think it would have helped set the stakes for Lan and Rand's bond issues with Moiraine and Alanna down the line if I hadn't gone and read the books. Are there other ways it could have been done? Probably, but I saw someone close to Lan die of grief because his Aes Sedai died, so I know what could happen to bonded people more important to the story.

I wasn't being hyperbolic earlier when I said it was 17 minutes. Stepin is on screen for 17 minutes of that episode. Stepin's entire wordcount in that episode is 436. The entire first season's word count is 26,073. Stepin's feelings about losing his Aes Sedai, which is a thing that is very plot relevant to all the main characters, took up about 1.6% of all the words said in the first season. Or about 3.5% of total screen time since some of those scenes didn't have any speaking parts. Anyone complaining about "Sad warder episode taking up too much time" is being absolutely ridiculous

I’m also in favor of that episode. Even if the actual plot points it sets up are multiple seasons down the line from now, I don’t see it as a problem to get those things down early. Sometimes you foreshadow a few episodes in advance, and sometimes you foreshadow a few seasons in advance. The tension is there for people who haven’t read the books but understand the idea of foreshadowing—this is too important a world building aspect not to come up again, but when, how, and to whom?

Speaking of word counts... Dana the fun-having Barmaid had 909 words spoken in 1 episode. Perrin only spoke 55 more words in the entire first season. They recast the wrong character.

lol at complaining about the number of lines noted chatterbox perrin gets in the first season the show already way surpassed the book in terms of Mat, who doesn’t get to do anything in the books except slowly die…twice…until midway through TDR

Perrin is the least interesting character in the book. gently caress Perrin. The only thing that makes his char redeemable is his interactions with Big Tits McGee

The gist is that Perrin is effectively an extra in the show. Lots of scene time, little to no dialogue.

Speaking of Perrin, anyone else feel like the part of him breaking out of the Whitecloak tent was the single worst thing in the season. Just the part where Perrin has been freed of his bonds and you just get a shot of Valda staring at him taking no actions saying something like "what are you?" It seemed like the most low budget badly written possible version of what that scene could have been. I just went back and watched it and he just stands there doing nothing for like 5 seconds real time. The silliest thing in the entire show. Perfect chance to show Perrin overpowering him or something instead of some real cheesey line.

I'd watch a show about the adventures of Dana the Darkfriend. Count me in about being pro-sad warder. Think about the importance of the warder/aes sedai bond: would it really be better for the first in-depth discussion of it to come up somewhere in season 3 or later? Outside of plot beats (which is frankly the least important reason to bring it up), the bond is really interesting idea that Jordan had and it would be a shame to leave it unexplored in the show for years.

Outside or Lan it's not a plot point until the last battle and its circumvented anyway. I doubt the Finn will even be in the show too. Moraine is already unable to channel and presumably that's needed to setup a bond passing.

Him worrying about losing his humanity / finding the balance of control over his own strength / deciding when it’s appropriate to use violence is his entire character arc
