    This. In those segments he comes off really badly IMO and it feels like a toxic Star Wars fan ripping on "fire in space" level stuff.


    I was alluding to his early criticism of season 1 (not heard of the watch alongs) which I found spot on and I'm usually a fairly harsh Sanderson critic. But what side you come down on in that argument is probably up to if you enjoyed tv-WoT.

    There's a reason that Sanderson's work has not yet been adapted, even though it's been optioned plenty of times since his work took off in the mid-aughts....It's because he seems to misunderstand adaptation and thinks his works can be translated largely as they are without the need for such adaptation. Guaranteed that he's had every contract contain a clause where he gets to walk if it's not to his liking...which in a normal world would mean he would find the common ground between book and TV/movie...but the fact that it's never even made it past the script stage is telling. If he had the clout to make the project himself, it would likely fail becuase he would fill it with shit he would claim was INTEGRAL to the story, but would bore audiences. He needs to get over that misunderstanding of those mediums differences or his work will never be adapted.


    I can certainly agree to that to some part, but there are some fairly faithful adaptations out there that where rather successful like LotR or Harry Potter. Now I think TV is a bit different but there are still the first few seasons of GoT which while not 1 to 1 conversions of the book are very recognizable to readers.

    I am surprised because if it survived not being cancelled in season 1 its odd to get the axe after season 3 which was miles better.

    I am disappointed. I wasn't the biggest fan but it still had moments I enjoyed and season 4 seemed like it would have continued the trend of improvements.

    Rafe made some truly bizzare decisions but I suspect the majority of watchers had never read the books and never cared.


    Those decisions might have been mandates from higher up, you never know.


    Pretty sure Rafe and his team did pretty much what they wanted to do and deserve all the blame, just look for what Brandon Sanderson described being involved in the first season was like its up on youtube.

    Also stategic bombers as in nuclear triad strategic bombers?


    Yepp one of the reasons it is notable. They are also currently irreplaceable since they have been out of protection for a long time, kept flying by cannibalizing other airframes.

    "we still have 66% of our long range planes. Ukraine has zero (because they gave them to us in the 90s after we promised never to invade them). So we are still winning"!



    Should be the largest loss of strategic air power since WW2 for just about anyone I guess.

    Not done yet but by Episode 5 its easily the best Star Wars show, if it continues at this pace it might be the best show I've seen since Arcane season 1. Phenomenal cast, perfect sets, awesome costumes, good story and perfect dialogues someone should get awards for this.

    Just when Disney had made me give up hope entirely, they do something like this. Its sad that it likely won't make much money since it is on Disney+ it should make a lot of money to inspire more similar stuff.


    Man, absolutely no spoilers, but the first 5 episodes of season 2 are the weakest. And I don’t mean that they were bad, cause they’re so good, it’s just that the rest is even better.


    Felt the first two where maybe a bit weak, then third got the ball rolling by the fourth it is a very good series. :)
