Straight in the books (and it's a major plot point), but may as a novice have had 'pillow friends' in the White Tower.

i was such a virgin when i read these books that i literally thought pillow friends meant they just gossiped while laying on pillows

Is the Whitecloaks subreddit still infiltrated and locked down by sjw mods? The videos there were more entertaining than the show

I’m genuinely curious is anyone here is actually watching this?

If so why?
watched the 1st season, thought it was better than rings of power, which isn't a high bar. there are a very few good parts and some of the bad stuff is so bad it becomes entertaining.

They changed the ending of season 1 from what EOTW ending was that I've immediately lost a lot of interest in this show.

If I start hearing good things about season 2, I'll probably check it out.

2 Episodes into season 2 so far ( they release 3 to start ) and it is more story driven than action although there is a bit. It's more like watching an audible book with acting. I won't say it is worse than S1 and in some ways as far as story telling goes may be a bit better. About to watch the 3rd episode and I'll edit if that changes.

Me personally I am a bit bored watching it but it hasn't been a rolling eyes bored more just a come on let's get the action going bored.

So mole on the nose lady seems to have her mole reduced or maybe they realized how fucking ugly it is and just used makeup more and side shots to diminish the horror somewhat. All 3 episodes are pretty evenly split between Morainne, Nyv and mole lady and the other half even matched to Perrin and Rand fucking, but even then we don't even get tits. Just a few yup I'm fucking this bitch scenes then cut to some boring story elsewhere.
Oh and bunch of Mat mini clips and the red witch bitch whom like Mor and the others, appear to have all aged into their 60s and are even less attractive than before what little they still had.
Oh and maybe 4-5 scenes of the dark ones lt. Rand freed doing dark one things.

I went into this with high hopes that it would be half-way decent, even though I knew it would not be close to the books. I can watch just about anything and be ok with it, but there are just too many bad ingredients to make any sort of decent recipe.

Also, as with every other opinion, they really dropped the ball on casting. I literally laughed out loud on the close up of the "Dark One" and that honker of his.

If you get any casting right at least make it for that character.

They’re trying to stretch it into a game of thrones but forgot the part where you make people like it

10 minutes in to the first episode of season 2…

I just don’t get all the fucking needless changes these faggots made to the story. Elyas shows up as the sniffer instead of Hurin, Domon just having a broken piece of cuendillar instead of a seal, weird ass sexual shit……

RJ had a pretty awesome story and about fucked it up with all of the bloat and all of the braid pulling. This show makes the worst part of the books seem like the best thing ever written.

and yeah, I know season one was terrible too. I’m half hate watching and half interested in just how bad theses idiots can make the show.

Disparu pointed something out in his s2 ep1 video, that I don't think I've seen anyone comment on.
The logo. A spiral is not an wheel or Ouroboros. A spiral has VERY different connotations and concepts, then the infinity ouroboros, or wheel.

That would be really impressive, and show a level of thought I’m not sure that the writers are capable of.
