It’s the other people not wearing their masks you have to worry about.

Richard Branson’s Trip to “Space” Didn’t Go as Planned

He’s here, he’s there, he’s every fucking-where!

I don’t think the wording about the five is meant to suggest that they think one of the women could be the Dragon Reborn just that one of the group is. I don’t think there’s any divergence from the books on that front. 

So the first book (Eye of the World) is fairly purposefully set up as a LoTR pastiche to sort of suck you into that sort of fantasy novel. But it quickly diverges from there (while still keeping the Hero’s Journey template). There’s a lot more politics involved, wildly differing cultures among the humans, soul…

The Red Ajah is absolutely misandric to the core, but Greens genuinely *like* men, and the other Ajahs are somewhere in bteween.  Calling the entire organization misandric is a vast oversimplification. Yes, they hunt down men who can channel but they DO have very good reasons for it. (not spoiling for the folks who…

The Aes Sedai being misandric is a core part of why they do the things they do. You can’t remove it and have them continue to be Aes Sedai.

It’s a teaser trailer, it got me interested. That’s all I need.

As I like to point out to ASOIAF fans, because I’m a dick: Robert Jordan fucking died and still finished his epic fantasy series faster than George R.R. Martin.

WoT is always going to be a tough sell. Among other things, it relies way more on worldbuilding and magic and the like in order to understand its story (especially in comparison to GoT). I imagine the best thing it has going for it is the fact that everyone (audiences and studios) is looking for the next GoT, and a…

They are not knockoffs of anything as far as I’m aware. The first six books are solid. Books 7-9 kind of drag and then they pick back up. I wasn’t a big fan of how Sanderson finished it off but that’s more because of his style not meshing well with me (Christ, how could such a cool concept like Mistborn be so…

A person can not like them, but they can’t really be called ‘cheap knock-offs’ of anything. The world building is incredibly original (the first book does a little bait and switch where you think its a cheap knockoff of LOTR with similar names in some places etc, but then pulls that away and shows the originality).…

Awww yisssss! Though maybe its because I am watching it on a tiny screen with bad light right now, but I recognize very little of whata going on in this. Was that Nynaeve shoving Egwene in a river? Why is it escaping Shadar Logoth done different or are they visualizing the metaphor of saidar?

You’ll get a range of opinions, depending on who you ask. I love the series, warts and all, and am on my umpteenth re-read of them. It’s a massive, highly detailed world, with a cast of characters that becomes a little daunting to manage for some after the first several books and a common complaint is that things drag…

I feel like Problem Areas was at its best when it wasn't trying to be funny. I actually miss Patriot Act more.

I’m skeptical. The world has changed a lot since he left The Daily Show and it isn’t clear if Jon Stewart has evolved to meet that challenge.

Except that the Internet is something that provides utility while crypto doesn’t do anything except exist. My friend has been making thousands of dollars from various crypto coins in the past few months and even he understands it could all go to zero without notice.

Why does every article have to have a “I’ve never even heard of this person/topic” comment, and who the fuck is still upvoting them?

If I were him and had such an entitled fan base I’d probably be doing the same thing. Besides, the Estate or whomever inherits/buys the properties can hire a writer.

Just remember... Doctor Oz wasn't disqualified at any point....
