    Wheel of Time

    Im sure all the hand waving is for the audience to let them know she's doing something magic. I would have preferred to one power to be separate colored strands that the caster weaves together. Bit that is more in line with the book

    Wheel of Time

    Ok so I finished the first episode. I have not watched the other two yet. As someone who has read Eye of the World at least 10 times since 1990's. This is not how I envisioned Jordan's world to be.

    Wheel of Time

    I'm about 15 minutes into the first episode. Casting seems way off and two rivers is not how I remember it in the books.

    Wheel of Time

    It was Lews who led the 100 companions to reseal the bore but it was men only, no women and that's why the male half in tainted. I can forgive the opening part as an unreliable narrator. Jordan had a lot of that in his book, where people believe their right about things because reasons

    Wheel of Time

    It sounds like the writers are butchering the story because they figure book readers are only a small part of the audience or the author of the article is an idiot or both!

    But then wouldn't that completely alter Perrin's character arc? I was sort of looking forward to watching this, now I'm not sure.

    Wheel of Time

    I'm guessing the writers never read the books for them to pull that shit. On the other hand, if Perrin is married, does that mean we won't get him running around moaning about Faile all the time?

    David Eddings

    I grew up on Eddings, was some of my first fantasy books in the late 80's and 90's. I enjoyed his books. I would say they would be a good starting point for kids to get into fantasy

    Wheel of Time series

    At least one good thing is that Sanderson finishing wheel of time turned me on to his other works. I used to reread the entire wheel of time series when a new book came out. I had to stop that at book 8 or 9. Haven't gone back since I finished it. Another 5 years or so and I might go back and...

    Wheel of Time series

    Yeah he did because I don't think there was any way he could have wrapped up all the story lines in one book. As it is, there are a lot of dangling plotlines that never got wrapped up.

    From what I read Sanderson was hamstrung in a lot of ways because of Jordans widow. He should have never let his wife anywhere near his books

    I'll second bluey. That show is awesome and my kids love it. My kids watch a lot of kids learning tube on YouTube kids. It's probably better for older kids but a 7 month old would probably like the songs. Blippi is another one they watch a lot of too.

    I have 4 shields and love them. Recently though Google pushed an update that put ads on the home page for shows that aren't family friendly so I had to change launchers to get rid of them but that was easy enough. I use RetroArch on them and it's pretty responsive. Have had a lot of fun playing...

    It's been a while since I've read wheel of time but I don't remember people if the two rivers being black. Darker skinned than Rand if I recall. Why can't they just stick to the source material.

    The builder I used told me to walk through the house before the drywall was up and take pictures of every room so I'd know where everything was located. Take pictures of the electrical panel and plumbing manifold. I still refer to those pictures when doing a project in a room.

    I'm looking for a good long range wifi extender. Situation is my family has a couple of cottages, the neighbor is sharing his wifi and it reaches one cottage, would say they're about a 100 ft apart maybe a little more. The second cottage is probably about 400 ft from the first cottage and up a...

    I'm getting ready to install some upper cabinets in my laundry room and I was taking a look at the pre-drywall pictures I took of the room and saw I probably can't get both screws into a stud. How bad would it be to only have screw in a stud?

    We have two homes for sale in our neighborhood right now, out of around 400 total. One is for $550k, been on the market for 49 days, so really overpriced. The other one is coming soon, for $575k. Guess we'll see. Not sure we'd really want to move, basically paying 200k more for the same house. I...

    My wife and I built in 2013, paid $312k for a 3600 sqft house. Zillow says the house is worth $485k, I doubt we could get that much. Problem we're running into is houses that are half the sqft that we have are selling for what we bought our house for or close too it and building a comparable...

    I don't know the way the news story said it, it was waving the appraisal and inspection. Not a contingency but then it's journalist so who knows what they actually meant.
