Talkie Tuesday: The Wheel of Time

 

"For the land is one with the Dragon Reborn, and He is one with the land." 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to tonight's hot topic of choice for this blog post.

 

I'm sure, if you've been following along my reviews for a while, you could probably see this coming, not to mention I practically said as much in a few of my earlier ones leading up to today.

 

But how can I NOT review what is quickly becoming one of the greatest fantasy adaptations in this day and age?

 

Sure it had a rocky start.

 

Sure it kind of stood on wobbly legs for the first season and a half.

 

But it's found the footing it was looking for now, and HOT DAMN is it sure footing.

 

Without further ado, let's dust off our Great Serpent rings and brace ourselves, because we're looking at the third season of The Wheel of Time.

 

Talkie Tuesday: The Wheel of Time

 

"The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills."

 

Hello everyone!

And welcome, once again, to the many multiple turnings of this thing we like to call ... but wait, let's rewind slightly.

I'm a little late this year with my review of the second season to this show, partly because there's just been SO MUCH to catch up on, and partly because my job keeps me from keeping up as well as I used to while jobless.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to HAVE a job in the current climate, but it's true that you're severely hampered by this stuff LOL.

So anyway, I finally literally blew through the eight episodes of the second season, and MAN is the show getting better and better with each installment. It's like someone's been reborn on the turning of the Wheel or something.

Yep, I know you know what tonight's all about: the second season of Amazon's Wheel of Time adaptation!

Talkie Tuesday: Pride & Prejudice

 

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in 

possession of good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

 

Hello everyone!

 

So initially I had a very different plan for this week's blog post, but then this past weekend happened, and this was an actual conversation in our house.

 

"Ice hockey runs all afternoon."

 

"Yep."

 

"You know what we should watch in the meantime?"

 

"What?"

 

Movie theme song plays.

 

It's been absolute AGES since I've seen this movie to begin with, and it's always a pleasure watching it with someone who's more than fine discussing certain issues that crop up or that are being argued about on screen.

 

Without further ado then - let's time travel back to 2005 and Pride & Prejudice.

 

Talkie Tuesday: The Wheel of Time Origins

 

"The Wheel of Time continues to turn." 

Hello everyone!

Honestly, I can't believe I didn't review these sooner.

Like, I know I'm usually behind stuff and all that jazz, but, come on now!

I suppose I re-discovered them after digging around the internet a bit about whether or not we might see the second season of Wheel of Time at any point soon, considering.

Then I read that another batch of these webisodes was supposed to start dropping back in August 2022 - and nothing happened!

I swear, at this point I have no idea what Amazon's doing.

Their marketing strategy seems to be all over the place, and incredibly bad about some stuff. Have they never looked at other giant corporations and how they do it? Disney? The works??

Apparently not, because let's face it, announcing a season three before season two airs, dropping a teaser trailer, and then going radiosilent is NOT it, chief.

So let's drum up some hype on our own, looking back at The Wheel of Time: Origins instead!

Talkie Tuesday: The Wheel of Time

 

"There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time."

 

Hello everyone!

 

You know, I'm proud of myself.

I'm actually NOT as late to this shindig as I normally would be!

I mean, I'm still kinda late, but it's not six months or so late, only a month instead. This is an achievement as far as I'm concerned.

Considering the fact that we tend to not get these shows all that early to begin with (certainly not as early as our US or Canadian counterparts) I'm pretty pleased with how it all turned out. And I mean, it's catchy to look at, and has a second season already (currently) filming.

What more could you even want?

So without further ado I'm going to stop spinning yarn, and start weaving the One Power instead.

The Wheel of Time, show edition, is up for debate.
