[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8877209, member: 6879661"] Criticizing the production of WOT because the clothing isn’t falling apart or because the actors aren’t white seems to me to show a fundamental lack of understanding about the source material. Regarding everything else about the series… For the record…. I enjoyed WOT for what it was. Particularly the parts that filled gaps in the books as it felt fresh and new.
