some fucked up shit too IRL, apparently they filmed the episode in like 4 days because by airing it they get to keep the TV rights to the wheel of time now for a longer time (legal clause in the contract), they bought 30 mins of infomercial time on FXX (1:30am PST) and aired it then.
The director they hired was some amateur guy, people are saying the producers told him this was gonna be his big break, he was gonna be hired for the full thing if he did a good job, etc, etc even though they have no real intention of making a TV show they just wanna hold onto the rights and sell it for $$$ to someone else
and finally the most fucked up thing, the director died in a car accident like 2 days after filming was done and before it aired. WAS IT BLACK AJAH
