          I’m enjoying Wheel of Time. Even as a fan of the books despite the changes.

              I’ve been avoiding any online talk about it and just enjoying it for what it is.

                I was just joking around about Lan constantly being sad in the show

                  Ah. I get that they aren’t following the books explicitly but they are keeping the characters and over arching story going in the right direction. I’m enjoying it…

                  … so far. I was enjoying GoT too up until about half way through series 4 when it became clear that they had completely diverged from the books.

                    Yeah I have hope.

                    They are changing a lot of “rules” and storylines but we’ll see where it goes. I can see why they had to change some of it for it to work in a TV format, other things seem weird to change. But I’ll hold on to the hope.

                    Part of me is excited to see a series finale where The Dark One is unmasked like a Scooby Doo villain though

      Meh. I found it enjoyable overall, despite some annoyances.

      And I’ve read the books a fair bit. Even The Silmarillion.
