I posted this in the other thread, but I'd thought I'd post it here. I've watched through dozens of reactions/reviews from not book readers, and here are my favorites: Reactions

El Grillo posted:To be fair, there is definitely something going on, and Rand notices it: Yeah, so the fact that he’s commentating on stuff like what courtly entertainment must be and what Thom is thinking, rather than going “wait wtf”, is the weird part to me. Im slower on the uptake than Ewin lol

The Thom/Moiraine talk reminds me of how I was giving a non book-reading friend some background on the various cultures and political approach and how Moiraine's from a country known for its elaborate backstabbing politics. We laughed a little over how the "Game of Houses" name comes off even knowing WoT came before ASOIAF and it makes me wonder if they'll shy from that particular term in the show.

I imagine they will drop it, I'm pretty sure they said 'politics' a couple of times already in the last episode. I'm largely in favor of them modernizing the speech. There is a certain charm to the way Jordan characters phrase things in the books, but I think it would sound pretty bad coming out of real people's mouths. I bet that daes'daemar as the formal name for Cairhienin political nonsense does come up though

Or they keep it, refer to it as Daes Dae'Mar the majority of the time and just translate it to the great political game or something.

According to this article the most VFX shots are in episodes 7 & 8, whoever made a comment about saving budget for a couple huge episodes called it.Animation Magazine posted:The first season’s seventh and eighth episodes have the highest number of visual effects shots. “We sat down at the early stages of the production to pick and choose our moments because the last thing that you want are visual effects that aren’t up to par as a result of trying to do too much,” he notes. “Amazon has given the show an incredible budget that lets us when we do something to really go for it and have it be feature film quality.” https://www.animationmagazine.net/vfx/conjuring-visual-magic-the-wheel-of-time-delivers-an-epic-fantasy-in-vfx/

i know i briefly made a post about it a day or two ago, not sure offhand who all else might have said it, but yeah. i had a feeling they were saving most of their stuff for 7 and 8 since that's when most of the notable poo poo is going to go down and we get the season 1 finale which they're going to want to hook people with and get them anticipating season 2. stuff like logain's leftovers rushing the aes sedai in the woods is basically nothing compared to what they're going to want to do in later eps.

I wonder how much critics not getting 7/8 is part of the marketing strategy (big surprise ending that'll generate buzz right around Christmas to drive viewership while people are at home, etc) versus how much it's because it gave them an additional 2 months for final touches. maybe a little of both

Fedaravicius plays Mesema, a quiet and intense warrior who serves Lord Agelmar. Chillingirian portrays Ingtar Shinowa, a lord and soldier from war-ravaged lands. I don't care if they misspelled Masema's name in the article. INGTAR!!!

They made Masema hot what the fuuuck But who cares Ingtar confirmed  Gonna be interesting to see how they do Fal Dara in S1 without any of the Shienaran character eke out posted:I wonder how much critics not getting 7/8 is part of the marketing strategy (big surprise ending that'll generate buzz right around Christmas to drive viewership while people are at home, etc) versus how much it's because it gave them an additional 2 months for final touches. maybe a little of both It's standard practice for streaming shows to not give reviewers the full season. Even giving them 75% of the episodes is more than most shows do
