Wheel of Time Discussion - Spoilers(with book spoilers)

Oh sure, he's a super bard. Good luck trying to convince Snarf that this is a good thing.

I would never imagine there being the shadow of a chance of convincing Snarf to have a positive view of anything bard adjacent. This isn't my first day around here.

Death to bards!!

I agree about the pacing. This show could have used a 10 episode season. Next season will also be 8 episodes. I'm hoping season 3 and beyond are 10 episodes.

Another thing about the limited time is that they also didn't use all the time they were given efficiently. Why did we spend an so much time on Sad Warder Man when his character and the background color he adds, aren't really important enough to warrant jettisoning world building in the first season of a big fantasy show or at the expense of character bits for characters who desperately needed them like Perrin.

I think the intent WAS worldbuilding, in terms of the Warder/Aes Sedai bond. In addition to just being dramatic television, it gives us more stakes/understanding of Lan/Moraine's dynamic, and that of other Warders and AS.

Without a doubt, that was the intent. And I'm not saying it serves no purpose. I'm just saying there were more important things they could have spent that time on.

Technically, he's a Rogue with the Entertainer Background.

There's a word for that.

Death to bards!!

Hmm. That actually works the other way as well.

Bards, to death!

Nah, he doesn't have any musical magic powers. Just a Rogue, probably an Assassin, actually.
