Also I read something that Brandon Sanderson said about the TV show, that it was kind of different turning of the wheel. I think that's a cop out, but I decide to be a bit more open minded and accept that it's not the same turning of the wheel so to speak and it's going to be different.
I'm pretty sure the actor playing Rand is a pale mullato.So everyone in the Two Rivers except Rand is mullato?
He reminds me way too much of Hayden Christianson. With a horrible sweater.I'm pretty sure the actor playing Rand is a pale mullato.
Well, no. In the books there are several depictions of alternate worlds, with different timelines. All are real. We see this with the Aes Sedai ceremony, we see this with the Traveling Stones throughout The Great Hunt with Selene / Rand. We see this at the end with Rand & the Dark One. This is what made Ishmael insane, the knowledge of always being reborn as the DO's servant and why he wants to try and end the Pattern, rather than just "win" the fight for that particular World.Yeah there wasn’t a mcu style multiverse where infinite realities happened similar but different. That’s stupid of them to even try to throw that out there.
I remember history repeating itself over a vast time frame but not alternate realities happening at the same time. Could just be my failing memory but I thought alternate things they were seeing in the aes sedai rituals were just visions of what could be, not that it was legitimately happening concurrently.Well, no.

It is lazy, but there is precedent within the books for something like that being possible, especially via the Traveling Stones.I remember history repeating itself over a vast time frame but not alternate realities happening at the same time.

The theory that the show is one of those alternates just seems like an extremely lazy way to hand wave away all the changes they made.
Hmm yeah, I remember that now. The portal stones led to other variations of worlds. The closer to the real one they were the more solid they were, time was different in those worlds. I was thinking only of the main world and the visions and trials.It is lazy, but there is precedent within the books for something like that being possible, especially via the Traveling Stones.
Another theory would be that this is a completely different cycle of the wheel than the books, so things could be different.
the other dumb thing about episode 3 was how Nynaeve tracked them around thousands of trollocs and Shadar Logoth. Like no explanation or anything. I forget in the books, I know she catches up with them but isn't it quite different?
No clue why these bungholes didn’t follow that lead.
The seasons since Amazon took over have not been as good and you know it....uhh, The Expanse is great.
