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?

He decided to leave after the first season. I wasn't sure why originally. When it was announced they refused to say. But I did just check and it sounds like he didn't want to get vaccinated possibly? So good riddance I guess. Real shame. As a reader of the books, it really felt like he embodied that character better than most. But the character is kind of a piece of shit, so I guess it fits.

Heh.

Thanks for the info.
