Despite getting better and better with each season, Prime Video ultimately cancelled The Wheel of Time — and we’re still angry over it.

        I can respect that. And I liked Xena. I just didn’t like something not Xena turning into Xena.

          Have you read any Sword of Truth books lately?
          I quit at the one where Richard pulled himself up by his bootstraps so goddamn hard that he cured the world of communism and laziness, specifically by carving a really good statue.
          Are you poor? Have you considered pulling an ungodly amount of talent out of your ass in the eleventh hour? Or just not being lazy?
          Threw that book across the room and wondered how I’d even made it that far in the series.

      Shannara was my way into fantasy and playing D&D. I love those books because at the time when I was in high school I found LOTRs to be unwieldy. The Sword of Shannara opened up the world for me and when the show was announced I was excited. The show runner even did an AMA on reddit and I flat out told him if he fucks it up he needs as ass beating. He assured me I would love it. I could not make it though the first episode without raging.
