Its honestly kind of baffling to me why we would pretend the show is clearly good, good. Its obviously not on the level of Deadwood or Mad Men. That's fine, that's a very very hard bar to clear. I am a book lover in spite of everything and we all know everything is a lot So what's the bar?. Legion blows it out of the water. The Shannara tv series? Legend of the Seeker? Those are very low bars to clear. I'll watch all of it because I'm intrigued to see what they do but you can compare it to other shows. And those aren't favorable comparisons a lot of the time. I'm not saying that as someone who demands 6 episodes of Rand and Matt sleeping in ditches to be legit but someone concerned that random rear end barmaid dropped ishy/moridin's entire motivation in what, like episode 5?

Was the dagger supposed to be a unique magical artefact or something? I was always under the impression that literally anything that someone took out of Shadar Logoth would have had the same effect, it just happened to be a cool looking dagger that he picked up.

Honestly bummed the casting call wasn't "gangly scrawny nine year old who doesn't mind cussing and complimenting ladies. Must have proficiency in wind instruments and horses. Must have no knowledge of where acting skills came from."

So most of the gang is all back in Prague now for the start for season 3 filming.





Saw a post from Leane's actress Jennifer Cheon Garcia departing from an airport so she must be on her way as well.

12 days til Jcon and hopefully some real news.

Production is apparently beginning this week. We don't know if that's actual filming or like table reads and poo poo.

Priyanka Bose got video on her IG of what looks like training and rehearsals. You can see Donal Finn in the background in yellow. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq43sMLoBPZ/







3 days til Jordan Con and most likely something substantial.

Aviendha on set. They definitely filming this week. Odd that the official account hasn't said anything about it :shrug:

Maybe they're saving all their social juices for Saturday. From what i understand whatever they gave to Jordan con as far as news goes will happen 4 EST Saturday.

I saw a rumor somewhere that Faile would be in sooner than the books, and that Laia Costa kind of gives me Faile vibes.

How much sooner can it even be because S2 is going to combine books 2 and 3 and she shows up in 3?

Confusion around Faile and when she appears stems from early speculation that she was definitely gonna be in S2, mostly based around Natasha Jayahendry's casting



However, many believe that Natasha Jayahendry has a tiny role, like some c-tier tower aes sedai because she didn't shoot for long, maybe even less than a day. Then at one of the cons, San Diego or New York, Judkins responded to a question about Faile and Perrin's actor didn't even know who Faile was and Judkins said they were discussing her intro into the show during the S3 writers room which solidified the belief for many that Faile isn't even in S2.

Some other tidbit had come forth not long ago which revived a belief that Faile will be in S2, I forget what it was and can't be assed to check my post history, but it basically went like: Perrin doesn't know who she is yet because they didn't shoot together but she takes the Hero's oath and has her intro in S2.

So who the gently caress knows :shrug:
