THE WHEEL OF PRIME (Amazon), a Dock & Doc Hatewatch Thread

So Dock, Doc here. Just wanted to get our two minutes in. Season 2 wrapped a while ago, and I just wanted to point you to this fun quote from the other, more terrible RJ:

"The Wheel of Time showrunner Rafe Judkins previously opened up about how the show's second season will expand on the first, including its depiction of polyamorous relationships. "You see a lot more, actually, in Season 2 of one of those relationships -- the Alanna, Maksim and Ihvon relationship," he said. "We get to delve into more of that and understand a little bit more how those three parts fit together and how there's not just one relationship happening there, there's three relationships."

Article from CBR

I quote that because I know Stepin was your absolute FAVORITE thing about last season, so like, here's more!

Oh, and they have a teaser showing off the Aiel Waste and some fighting and other stuff, but y'know...

"You know that stuff that no one really cares about, and has no real impact on the actual plot or story? Yeah, we're going to focus a LOT on that stuff!"

JFC.

I have seen that brief BTS teaser - yep they're clearly accelerating/mixing up the story progression by giving us scenes in the Waste. We'll likely get a bunch of stuff of the Aiel before that small group leaves to hunt for He Who Comes with the Dawn (assuming they follow the books even remotely with that).

NGL: I'm going to hatewatch at least the S2 opener, but I really don't know about anything after that.

I literally have no interest in this show due to being burned out on WoT books and Bland Al Thor's destiny/romance problems but if I was running things I would just adapt the first six books and then the last three. Even then that's a lot of material to cover that anyone with common sense wouldn't add to but sadly this showrunner lacks that quality.

Fett gets it.

Yepp, Fett. That about does it it. If one could could characerise your logic and comment sense, I was going to recommend you as a new showrunner, but based on the first FUNDAMENATALLY BORING AND IDIOTIC SEASON, you would be put to to the fiery pit. Don't do it man! Let this series die!

It's amazing how much better from a sheer production standpoint that short Willow trailer -- a show with half the hype based on a property with a tenth of the cultural footprint -- looks than this.

While also hitting all the Messaging wrt casting that WoT beats overs its viewers heads saying 'Aren't we doing good?!?'
