The Wheel Weaves As The Wheel Wills. - Rosamund Pike

The funniest thing about the potential for the Kal Szeth roadtrip is that Shinovar looks more like typical stereotypical fantasy Europe compared to the rest of Roshar and Kaladin's gonna go there and see sheep and birds and grass that doesn't move and be like "what the fuck."

Kaladin NEEDS to meet some dogs in shinovar he’s going to invent therapy dogs

There's a new interview with Lou from TVLine and he basically says what we've all been saying from the beginning that the cancellation was a mistake. He's done TV for awhile so he knows how these things go so he said that the fact that Fox approved them doing a cliffhanger pretty much sealed the deal for s3 for him cause you don't do that and pull the plug

Lou Diamond Phillips was finding his seat on a layover flight, in early May of 2021, when he noticed Prodigal Son co-creator Chris Fedak was calling his cell phone. The Fox drama had already wrapped production on Season 2, and Phillips was confident he’d pick up the phone to hear that Prodigal Son had scored a third season.

“One hundred percent, I thought it was the call to say, ‘Hey, buddy, we’re going back to work in July,'” Phillips recalls to TVLine. “I had every reason, as did the cast and crew, to believe that this was going to be the case.”

But, as Prodigal Son fans will surely recall, a renewal announcement didn’t come; the show was cancelled at the end of its sophomore run.

re: Dumai's Wells and the Box as much as I love Rand kicking ass/getting revenge afterwards it's still astonishing to me that he was kept in that box and tortured daily (for two weeks!) And afterwards he's somehow lucid enough to pull off what he did. Not to mention being able to walk. I am curious how they'll handle it in the show, so I do wonder if they'll take it more seriously in just how severely injured he is (as well as the severe psychological toll it has on him too)

oh my god i know i was thinking the same thing while reading! the most extreme example yet of rand pushing himself way too hard because he’s the only one who can do what needs to be done (or at least HE thinks so, since he’s so isolated and devoid of support). thinkin about earlier when he was running to cairhien from the salidar aes sedai and didn’t realize how tired he was until he literally passed out after finally letting go of saidin, and also when perrin described rand as looking like someone who’d lost all hope but kept going because the cost of giving up was too great 😭😭

i am very interested to see what the effects of this whole thing will be on rand in the next book since in the immediate aftermath he was in crisis mode and then the book ended right away, so i haven’t yet seen him actually start to process what happened. i’m sure there WILL be lasting psychological trauma going forward (i’ll be astonished if there isn’t) but even so i think it’s a safe bet that the show might amp that up even more as so far the show seems a lot better at handling emotional beats and letting the characters have more space to react to the things that happen to them. like for example i was thinking that the scene in rhuidean where mat almost dies and rand resuscitates him, i cannot IMAGINE the show passing over that as quickly as the book did, in the book rand was so panicked but then the second mat opened his eyes again they were both like “ok” and moved on lmao. a hug felt necessary there and was not provided!

I am so pumped Daredevil is getting 18 episodes (while still remaining nervous) cause damn it Feige treat my boy right! But like....I want the same for MK. Both characters deserve this

I just wanna know how we went from six episode seasons to eighteen? I mean, maybe they're finally listening to the criticism but that is.. quite a jump I didn't expect.

I'm nervous, but hopeful. Seems like Marvel's been experimenting a bit with grimmer storylines and dipping back into the more morally ambiguous characters, and I like to hope that they're seeing the appreciation fans have for the street level vigilantes.

Plus, Charlie is one of those actors that truly embodies the character he plays. He's just.. Matt to me. So if they gave him as much creative say as they gave Oscar, I think it could be really good. Executive Producer Charlix Cox has a nice ring to it. 👀

Character bingo. Rand al'Thor

feeling a little "i've abandoned my boy" about my currently paused wheel of time reread. should get back to that one

feel a little like this does not entirely convey my rand al'thor feelings adequately but I did my best. also the "want to carry him in a handbag" is mostly because he'd be safe there and I think it would be nice for him to have that for five minutes but also a little bit because it was a funny mental image

I'm sorry, the show has several key characters that I would say struggle with their mental health but they make it a filler episode topic? Also, where was this care when Iris just got out of the Mirrorverse? This isn't any shade against Cecile, but it is frustrating that she gets an episode dedicated to it but Iris only got three scenes to process her extreme trauma from the Mirrorverse

I completely agree! It really feels like given that there was a story-line right there for Iris, after the mental trauma that she endured, which the show chose not to explore, that the attempts to have conversations about mental health in 7x13 don’t feel as authentic and genuine as they ought to have been. Like Cecile’s story-line, while potentially a good one if introduced earlier, did feel like it came out of left field, and if the show truly cared about portraying nuanced discussions on mental health, they would have afforded Iris a multi-episodic story-line, given what she just went through. Instead, we essentially got a filler that was… messy in its execution. I appreciate the attempt made, but I just think that give that the show has several characters who have mental health struggles, including both leads, it felt like the show wanted to quickly give a secondary character a brand new story for one filler episode and then not bring up mental health again.
