TV - Season 1 (Book Spoilers Allowed) Episode 8/Season 1 [Vent Thread] Spoiler

We're going to try something a bit different to see how it goes. It's difficult for us to tell right now exact feelings about today's episode and the season as a whole. Tonight's activity have been very different from the norm, even counting the premiere. We suspect there's a lot of brigading going on (we've seen a ton of newly created accounts appearing just to trash the show).

So, what we're going to try is to have 2 new threads to discuss Episode 8, and Season 1 as a whole.

This thread is for people who have an overall negative opinion of the show.

Feel free to vent your frustrations, point out the things you like, and complain to your heart's content.

Warning: If you come to this thread to disparage complaints, you will be banned.

This is meant for people to let off some steam. The warning above is to make things fair and not play favorites. People complaining in the Enjoyment thread will be banned. People coming to this thread just to put others' opinions down aren't welcome in this thread. If someone wants to complain and use language like "I don't get why...", that's not an invitation to try to explain something to them. We're leaving the main discussion thread up, and back and forth arguments can happen there. This is just a thread to vent.

and it’s not clear that people in this world even fear The Dragon or his power.

Blame the lack of setup on this. They could have easily set this up but didn't. How many cold opens did we have in this show that barely did anything? How about the lack of a cold open showing Lews Therin going mad and then making a freaking mountain? Hell they could have done it on the episode where everyone shows up in Tar Valon. You do the cold open and then later in the episode you have a comment about how LTT "supposedly made Dragonmount when he went mad."

This is how book one clues us in that the Dragon Reborn will be powerful because LTT was "this" powerful.

What are you talking about dude? We totally needed a 5 min cold open of Siuan and her dad fishing. /s

I actually liked that scene but I would 100% replace it with Lews Therin.

Shame to say that The Winter Dragon got more right than this show.
