    Maybe the problem here is you just need to relax a little.
    What they are getting at, and if i'm wrong i hope they will correct me is that it's poor cinematography.
    There are other instances in the series, and no im not going to go and link them all, because i really dont want to get stuck in an argument where somebody is threatened because they enjoy something to the point they vehemently defend it. Despite it being subjective.

    It has been 19-21 years since the movies came out. Just odd that the time gap is almost the same for the new series even if it isn't a book adaptation.

    ^ This, lol.

    It's a shit adaptation and a mediocre show. It's entertaining enough, I guess but I'll be absolutely blown away if this goes farther than season 2.

    It is back up to #3 on Prime Video in the US so it seems to be doing well enough for Amazon. If Season 2 performs similar or is viewed favorably in production I'm sure they would not hesitate to renew for season 3.

    Amazon has money to burn, doubt it would stop at S2.

    Perhaps. I'll wait and see. You're right though, it will depend on the reception of Season 2.

    Looks like the algorithms on IMdB propping it up have started to wear off - its popularity has tanked, down to 56. The Witcher, by comparison, is still holding at 13. Shows with absolutely terrible reviews and ratings, like How I Met Your Father and And Just Like That are way above it.

    Its not surprising, really. Its tumbleweeds out there about it. No one involved in the show is talking about it. Fans aren't talking about it. Its largely been forgotten already.

    It is weird they did so poorly with this when they did so well with Good omens. Neither of them seem like they would of been easy to put into a visual medium but one flourished the other died.

    That isn't saying much since the new lord of the ring series is ranked 12 on that list of popularity. Are we really going to claim that the list means anything when a 1 min video (or the series page) is ranked higher then The Witcher or any other released series? Popularity is expected to drop anyways since the season is over. Also what do you mean by "no one"? Google provides several recent stories about it when you search "Wheel of Time" and click the news tab. Info is still there if you actually want to see it.

    It sounds like you don't so it isn't surprising that algorithms don't feed it to you or you don't search it out yourself.

    Good Omens has a co-author involved directly as a show runner so that gives advantages right off the bat. The second season is also based on an unwritten sequel. https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/bbcs...sequel-season/

    They backed the wrong horse when they picked the showrunner for WoT. Good Omens was a class act, the characters were likeable and they didn't try to push an agenda into the show.

    Honestly that last one seems to be the bigger problem in MMOC - far to easy to get people posting for 30 pages in what amounts to a circle-jerk between 3 people about semantics on something entirely OFF TOPIC in the first place. UGG. Teach me to get excited that five pages of new posts might actually be something worth discussing...or on topic.. LOL.

    One was made with the actual author on hand trying to follow the spirit of the original the other was made by an idiot who wanted to push agendas.

    Not to mention the arrogance. What Robert Jordan did is damn hard. There are tons of series out there and his is considered one of the best (despite obvious flaws and some undeniably dated content). The idea that Rafe came along and was like, "Eh, I can make this better, let me make wholesale changes" is incredibly arrogant.

    The reason you adapt a book series instead of just writing your own material is that these guys spend years fleshing out a detailed story structure that is relatively coherent and paced (again, obviously Jordan's later books had issues there). If you're just going to change everything, don't call it an adaptation, just make your own series.

    https://www.cbr.com/wheel-of-time-third-season/ and the source they used https://deadline.com/2022/02/crimina...us-1234926358/

    I wouldn't say it is confirmed but it does look like Season 3 is a go based on "sources" surrounding the return of Daniel Henney, the actor that plays Lan, to Criminal Minds.

    An ancillary character not getting picked up for a relaunch of a series means nothing rofl good lord you are desperate. Also without Reid that will crash and burn insanely fast.

    Ancillary? He was a guest star on the show for season 10 & 12 then a main role for 13-15. He was also a main role for 26 episodes of the Beyond Borders spin off. The only one who is desperate here is yourself who needs to constantly look for and stretch any reason to hate on wheel of time. Let it go already.

    Like it or not it is still a good indicator that season 3 is likely to happen when a star is negotiating future roles around it.

    I didn't even realize Criminal Minds was still a television show people watched on the regular. My dad loved it and then fell off the bandwagon with it when some guy left the show. My dad also died in 2014, and it's still around 8 years later? lol.

    It doesn't indicate anything he was a main role after the show was on it's last legs. They aren't going to mimic the same setup that sent the show down the drain. Personally I think it has zero chance without Reid but if they do anything they will try to get Shemar Moore back on board though I doubt they will be successful since SWAT is still doing decently or at least not in danger of cancelation. Beyond Borders was canceled because it didn't draw eyes much the same reason Criminal Minds itself was eventually canceled. Contracts are also not exclusive meaning that other shows aren't a reason to not do it since it will be around 10 episodes most likely. They are likely going to try to contract the cast that ballooned massively but are unlikely to have success at all without Reid.

    It went for 15 seasons and was canceled due to ratings cratering but now they are trying to bring it back without one of the few characters to be in every season.
