I didn't realize it was still on TBH. I'll have to come back around to it.

First season was an absolute slog. I'd completely forgotten about this.

Did you not watch the 2nd season? It's sooooo much better than season 1. Season 3 blows them both out of the water.

Is it worth skipping season 1 and starting with season 2? I just couldn't drag myself through the first season.

Honestly, you probably could. If you have any questions about what happened just look it up lol. Just watch the little recap before the second season or I'm sure there are people that explain what happened pretty well.

I assumed you were talking about the 2nd season. LMAO

As a book lover season one almost turned me off of watching this ever again. I gave season two a chance and it was definitely better and they pretend like season one never happened. I agree, they are starting to hit their stride with season three. I'll always get pissed at the blatant disregard for the books but understand they have to change a lot to bring it to the screen unless this was going to be 30 seasons long. I'll have to just continue to ignore the bs but am looking forward to each new episode.

I've seen several book readers blow their load over this past episode about Rhuidean. Some saying its one of the best fantasy episodes in a long long time and that the whole vibe is practically spot on for Rhuidean.

I'm not a book reader and I really liked season 2 and season 3 is actually legitimately compelling must watch TV.

I love this show.

pretty epic how they've come out of the nose dive that was season 1. Ep 5 drops in 30 minutes!

One "lesson" is all it takes to learn anything at all no matter how complicated apparently.

I'm not sure I get what you are talking about, but from what I've seen about episode 5 I'm assuming you mean Egwene. If that's what you are talking about, then I'd say they've made it pretty clear that she's one of the strongest channelers of several generations and clearly picks up things very quickly. She's no ordinary person.

Holy shit, I hate that this show doesn't get the love it deserves. This season has been one of the best seasons of TV I have seen in a long ass time. This is the show that Amazon should be pushing against House of the dragon and not Rings of Power.

This season has completely blown away anything those other 2 shows have done and I loved season 1 of HOTD. I thought episode 4 of this season was going to be tough to top, but then we just got episode 6. God damn it was awesome and had probably the 2 most badass scenes that we've gotten in WOT.

I wish more people watched so I could talk about it.

dlphg9 04-04-2025 03:38 PM

Through 6 episodes season 3 has averaged an 8.6 rating/episode on IMDB.

Reading what you have been saying about it I will have to check it out. Seems like a reverse of GOT in which it actually gets better as the seasons progress. I read most of the books, so I am hoping that the pacing in the show is much better than the books which drug on for far too long.

Pretty disappointed in the 7th episode. Even with a limited budget and time to show it it could have been so much better. I don't understand this propensity to want to adapt books but then completely dismiss the source material. Sigh.
