Watching this show as Czech gives me great opportunity to play the game "Do you recognize that rock?"

I love the perspective of a non reader, but a huge genre fan.

Look at you, getting flown out to London. When you're an uber famous film and television critic, I can't wait to be like "oh I remember when she didn't even have 100k subscribers"
Seriously super proud of everything you have accomplished! Is that odd that I feel proud idk hahaha. Either way, congrats!

Some of the problems with the first couple episodes’ pacing and structure can probably be put down to the fact that Rafe Judkins the showrunner wanted a 2-hr pilot and a 10-episode season, but Amazon only let them have a standard 50-minute pilot and 8 episodes - so a lot had to be further condensed to fit Amazon’s constraints.
On a side note, this was a brilliant talk, you guys work so well together!

I found the world to be big, but I have no concept of the geography. The characters went from somewhere, to somewhere different, to somewhere else different. Game of Thrones masterfully gave us a clear idea of the world and it’s orientation through the map title sequence. This felt more like The Witcher, in that it was a world of disjointed different fantastical places with no clear sense of where they actually are in relation to each other.

"Did Cassandra Claire take that from - " Yes, the answer is yes.

What an experience! My wife is big into WOT, and I've been avoiding reading them until I watch the show. I find that if I watch it first then read, I feel like I'm learning new secrets, but if I read first then watch, I'm always sad at the changes, or the things they leave out!

[ZachCook]

A good example of the previous ages being present is a lot of the mountain look like weathered skyscrapers. Like the stone is shaped to form doors and sun shines through what was once windows. Also at one point they ride through what looks like a fallen bridge

[anedgedancer]

I'm so happy for this cross over, what a gem you both are. I love how respectful you two are to each other, listening patiently to each other's opinion and asking questions. I'm stoked to hear your thoughts after the season is over.

I've never read one of the books in The Wheel of Time series, but I did read one of Robert Jordan's Conan the Barbarian novels for hire, and I have to say that he did a fantastic job of simultaneously having fun with the ridiculousness of the character and scenario while still delivering the Epic Fantasy Goods.

I really appreciate this video! Not only had I no idea this show existed and I’m now super excited for it, but also for showing me a bit of London again. Due to Covid I haven’t been there to see my family or the sights in almost 3 years and it made me so happy to see glimpses of it, it made me kind of emotional

[MasterRahl]

I'm a Goblin, came from Daniel's channel to watch a non-reader's perspective! I'm here for your spoiler episode reviews I you do them!

[RoyDurett]

this show is a CW mockery of the wheel of time.

[jrdeborja]

I was gifted the first book for an exchange, and it was the BEST gift Ive received as an adult.

[Tralala]

I'm on book 12, and my boyfriend is not a reader at all, but likes fantasy. We watched the first 3 episodes at release and he felt slightly confused, trying to follow all the lore being shoved at him. I feel some things could have waited, but I can see for someone rewatching this series, they will pick up on
A LOT of foreshadowing they are laying down in these first 3 episodes.

[InfernoYeet]

After all why not?
Why shouldn't I click every Amanda video that shows up in my feed?

[mapletree]

The algorithm does it right this time with the recommendation! Love you both! Watching WoT enthusiastically with 1% intention of reading all the books and 90% intention of reading at least one book.

[JennifersEar]

Absolutely no idea what you're both talking about. Enjoyed every minute.

[Xavis]

I loved how just after the opening scene (with the red Sisters), they did a zoom out to show that some of the stone towers were actually overgrown, ruined skyscrapers if you looked close. It was such a great tease that it takes place in a far future.
