Oh boy, so, so many small and big changes from the story in the books in the first ep of Wheel of Time. They've made major changes to every one of the major characters and their backgrounds, hopefully they have their reasons for doing this which will be explained further down the series. Here's hoping it's not a The Last Jedi scenario where they've just set out to destroy the original story on purpose. 

Wasn't terrible, obviously I'm not a fan of the changes but non book readers won't care. Some of the Trollocks looked dreadful, the editing was poor and yeah, it's not terrible so far. 6.5/10 maybe.

About 11.700 book pages left to adapt so a bit early to draw any big conclusions  

I just watched the first episode and as someone who loves the books and was only listening to the first one on audiobook last week it’s a dumpster fire. 
 

Some of the decisions they have made are just baffling.  The changes you have made to the major character just why? Of all characters as well. 
 

It might appeal to non book readers but for a lot of readers this will be a huge disappointment.

And tonight it's time for the big one, the one I've waited 25 years for. Well, the plans for it started about 5 or 6 years ago or so, but I started to read the books about 25+ years ago and wanted them to be filmed there and then. They're already on Prime, of course, but some of us have to work. Or at least be at work. Still very excited:

Same here. I really hope its not a let down.

Thought they showed way to much in this trailer and ruined a lot of surprises. What was the point of it. they already know the film is going to be huge.

I thought to myself now that it looks like we might be a relegation battle it wouldn't surprise me if the lower teams suddenly started getting surprise results, just like the last time we were in a relegation battle and Chelsea, Spurs and others kept losing to our relegation rivals when any other season they wouldn't have done so. And now all of a sudden Norwich beating Brentford, although in that one I don't think Brentford losing is a bad result for us if it stays that way... Hopefully Brighton can beat Newcastle later on.

Norwich currently 2-0 up away from home.

Spurs game is crazy

I thought I read a stat that he has 39 points out of the last 38 games.

For sure not gonna call it a collapse in public. Wouldn't be a good look on the club.

I'm sure he has a very different opinion on it in private, because it certainly wasn't random.

I can get his point about randomness for the last goal but again. You make your own luck. Why did we allow them into our half and getting so many set pieces in dangerous areas? That's more what I'm getting at.

But he is protecting the club and players in the public which is the right thing to do. 

 

Like yourself i don't think it was random.

If you look back on the game we completely switched off after the first goal and stopped playing. Wolves were getting on top. Our second was a bit of fluke.

But as soon as they got one back you just knew how it was ending. We were completely disjointed for most of that game bar an excellent period at the beginning of the second half. 

Pick that out. Boom

Mings is starting to be a liability today. A couple of bad missed passes under no pressure and a stupid booking. 

Gavi having a great game here. I think his selection looks justified now will be some talent in the future.

Great niggle in this game.

If it heals that quickly it must be

Unable to play for Villa at the weekend but somehow able to train and be named as a sub for England four days later?

I say week in week out that the Prem refs are poor but this guy made them look like top pros. He did everything short of score a goal himself. Seemed more interested in being part of the Ronaldo record than he did reffing the game. 

Its sad that this is so true and will be completely overlooked in the rush to congratulate Ronaldo.

The ref was very one sided tonight. So strange decisions nearly all in Portugal's favour. A very debatable penalty. When VAR asked to look again at it you would presume he would disallow it. The free kick at the end after he let Portugal have a chance to score then called it back to give Ronaldo a dodgy free kick. Then playing on behind extra time till they scored and practically celebrating with Portugal. He would put Mike Dean to shame.

Ronaldo should have got a straight red. The officials completely bottled the decision.

I can see Portugal getting another dodgy pen before this is over.

Guess we're just going to be modding old games into oblivion.

Out of interest has anyone got an idea how to add the English 1st and 2nd division and link them into the championship and premier league on the PS4.

I found a few option files but no idea will they actually link. Can i get promoted the whole way up.

Watched ep1, it's nicely drawn but it will be marmite. 

Watched three episodes so far. The writing is poor can’t see is it meant to be aimed at kids or adults as it hits neither. 
Obviously a lot unhappy with the story choices so far which is understandable.

Not of a nothing filler episode of Loki this week. Not bad but nothing really achieved.

Also oddly badly done final scene.

I agree weakest episode so far. At times reminded me of a bad doctor who episode.

Dialogue, story  and pacing were way off.

On the subject Tyreik Wright came on as a late sub for the Irish U21s there. Good run from his own half and then crossed to set up the winning goal in the 90th min.

Doku is cheap and a great signing. Ends up incredibly fast.

Why is McGinn on Mitrovic for corners?

Watched it today. Didnt like the orignal film this was so much better. Some ropey moments but overall pretty decent and very watchable. So much more to the characters especially the villians.

Didnt feel to dragged out to me.

Would love to see a sequeal now based on the ideas in this.

I just went back on and watched it. Wasn't really worth it.

Yeah nice to see but added nothing really.

Overall I m very underwhelmed by Wandavision so far. If it wasnt Marvel I would have given up a while ago.

Apart from the odd last minute or two of an episode most episodes wouldnt get beyond a 6 or 7 out of then for me.

Not a series I could see myself rewatching.

There was a credits scene? Nuts. I always stop because of the ridiculous ten minutes of credits every episode...

It was about 10 seconds and didnt add much in fairness.

That episode ramped it up a lot. Cant wait for the next one now. As Chindie said so many interesting possibilities.

That ending to Wandavison episode five. Damn
