What does "&c" mean? It's an old-fashioned abbreviation for et cetera.

Just putting this here for those who might miss it.

I saw season 1 and it was...okay? I gather that Wheel of Time diehards were upset about plot deviations. I never read the books so that didn't matter much to me. IMO the world setting seemed janky - it was as though Robert Jordan couldn't build an original world to save his life and borrowed bits and pieces of different Earth cultures and threw them in a blender. I could pass on the next season but I have too many people around me who will want to watch it so I feel somewhat compelled to.

What did you think of season 1? Will you be watching season 2?

I read Brandon's post where he discussed this, and he recommended it too. He said something along the lines of, The Wheel of Time turns. Ages come and pass, and this is another 3rd age, different from the 3rd age in the books, and in this age, this is how things happened.

He also heavily alluded to the fact that he doesn't like what they did with the show and outright said that they ignored his input. He said if he ever has an opportunity to get a film deal he'll insist on full control and won't do it otherwise.

Oh, that's sad. Let's hope he gets better deals with rest of his work.

It's not his work per-se, he just finished it. He's a WOT expert obviously, but this is not his work (yet).

Yeah, you are right. The full rights belong to Jordan estate, and if they are happy, it doesn't matter.

I agree with you btw, I hope he can do Mistborn movies with full control :)
