Me too! High Five!

While the show isn't what I would call good, I think it deserves an award for most improvements between seasons. The first season felt stupid more often than not due to tone and mood whiplash, and having the hunters use a mix of realistic looking weapons and sword shaped glowsticks just made everything feel even…

This was interesting until I realized that the headline referred to the game.

Fully agree. People really underestimate how much of the middle retreading would end up disappearing in a TV adaptation.

Not really. A few of the middle books are concurrent so they would just need to streamline the events during those parts.

Not sure which book established it, but from what I recall about hand gestures they were completely unnecessary but were somewhat commonly used as students learned to imitate everything that their instructors did, including pointless gesturing. Someone, maybe Siuan(?) or another teacher Aes Sedai, theorized that you…

From what I recall up to book 10 Gawyn's story amounted to progress updates every 500 pages or so, so that will be easy to cut down.

I liked 10 since Matt and Perrin are my favorite characters, though it did go a bit long on exploring their feelings a lot of the time.

Yeah. One of the main setups of the series is that the male half of the magic source was tainted by The Dark One as a final fuck you to Lews Therin.

I think its the best fantasy series example. A better guideline might be The Last Kingdom.

Re: Rand/Elayne
I forget what book Rand and Elayne slept together in, but it was fairly memorable because he snuck into the castle using an illusion that made him hideously ugly. So ugly that just about everyone woman who knew about Elayne and the ugly guy meeting for private time couldn't keep themselves from loudly…

Also glad, but I find Fake batman pretty annoying. Jewbot and Ranger are pretty funny though.

I knid of want to see the recipe for this. It seems very similar to a cake I made at Christmas. Mine lacked the red smear though.

I can't say that that logically follows since the size of the fame of the respective parties can have an effect on public opinion in a dispute.

Its one of the classier forms of animal fighting.

Uh huh. So why would you think saying "So commercial success trumps breast cancer survival? Fuck me." would be interpreted as anything other than implying that her once having cancer merits support in something entirely unrelated to having cancer?

I can remember it happening but I don't recall the exact episode, though I would guess it was in the first season…and I can't say that I care enough about it to rewatch the series to verify the exact ep.

Why the fuck should anyone side with her for surviving cancer? Surviving cancer is the reward for surviving cancer.

The first place I recall hearing of Magneto's helmet's psionics blocking abilities was the 90's X-Men cartoon on Fox.

Given the overall pettiness involved in the sabotage, i'm going with Ember being pissed about not receiving an invite. I wouldn't rule out some kind of pseudo-Machiavellian move from Josh though. The High King of Fillory can probably make a horse and nymph harem if they wanted to.
