I will not link to this travesty; posts can be found on FB, Twitter, Instagram, and similar places. I do not use them, friends send these utterly disgusting links to me. I think I will break my relationships with them.
'Wow. That completely shatters my mental picture of the first book.'
And they call themselves fans... I bet that no one of the production company read the books at all.
'Also love the diversity in casting'
When I posted many quotes from the books that the main cast is white (and Jordan's cast was white too), every forum (except this one) deleted them, I got banned, because I'm racist and toxic...
I fast forwarded the first episode, so I watched it in a few minutes, then quit. But its sexuality began a new trend: putting more and more sex into everything. I do not watch tv series at all, but my family does a lot, and many times even they think they are watching porn not a tv drama.
'Samsung seems to be trying to discourage users from modifying the software on their new Galaxy Z Fold 3s, giving them a message that unlocking the phone’s bootloader will render the phone’s cameras unusable (via Android Police). This isn’t the first time we’ve seen phone manufacturers pull this sort of trick, but it seems to represent an escalation in Samsung’s fight against its users who want to gain complete control over their phones.
An XDA Forums user confirms that after unlocking the bootloader, the Z Fold 3’s cameras were completely non-functional: facial recognition, loading the camera app, and trying third-party camera apps all failed for them. The user reports that re-locking the bootloader made the cameras work again. ' Aug 24, 2021
Agree.
(The Dirty Dozen is rare exception too, and Tarantino comes to my mind, who said that TDD would be unfilmable today because the lack of masculinity in today's actors.)
(I don't watch barely anything from the last two decades, the movie industry died around LOTR, and tv series = soap operas are just a waste of time.)

Why do we need an adaptation at all? People cannot read anymore? (Many don't, I know.) Even without the rewriting, cramming 10-15 (or more) chapters into 55-60 minutes is insane. It's like cutting down Fellowship from 178 minutes to 90 minutes or less, and what will happen to the even thicker books? WOT is unfilmable, and that's it.
