ooh The Belgariad quintet of books was FANTASTIC! Don’t forget the subsequent Malloreon quintet as well which is a direct continuation of the events in Belgariad..There is also the Elenium Trilogy which follows the Malloreon but I have never had the opportunity to read it but i’m sure it is just as amazing It was actually the first High Fantasy series I ever read (that wasn’t Forgotten Realms or Dragonlance lol). I had actually forgotten all about those series of books! David Eddings is an AMAZING writer! Think I might have to go out and re-buy the entire series for my collection!Did you say there is a WoT Video Game they came out with? Why have I never heard of this? lol..geez I only recently learned that they came out with one season of a show based on the Sword of Truth books a bunch of years ago lol..as soon as I learned this I went and gave a couple episodes a watch and I just couldn’t do it. The acting was terrible and the only similarity to the books was the names of the characters and places lol..I wasn’t going to ruin the enjoyment I experienced after just finishing the SoT series by watching any more lol. Anyways, Thanks for reminding me of one of my fave series of books which I haven’t read in over 25 yrs! Very much looking forward to revisiting those books! Cheers kerfy!

yes,yes, and yes.. great books..and series.. i am just doing a binge read of the dritzz books, there 30 of em. I think i will do the bel and friends ones after that.. I am not sure if I ever did read all the seeker books.. They were good, the tv series got bad real fast… Daveid Eddings is one of my favs as well..As I recall the video game was in the 90’s I think..
Robert Jordan left a stack of notes and had the overall layout of how he wanted the series to finish thankfully, so all Sanderson had to do was fill in the blanks while Jordan still “steered the ship” so to speak. Sanderson did an amazing job matching Jordans style and his own flawlessly, you couldn’t even really notice the switch! Jordans wife was a huge influence and source of information and motivation for him at the end which is why he acknowledges her in the books. ;)
Jordan had said early on in the series that he could finish them at any time because he had his notes for the whole story.. Sadly he did not.. He sorta milked it and slowed down about the time the video game came out.. I was very dissapointed when he died.. I think the wheel of time is probly the best of the genre.. Very similar to the belgariad series.. :)
rewatching .. binge.. Still as great as it was the first time…Such a well done show…definetly one of my all time favorites.. I had to laugh to see watson to the lester look a couple times.. (lester from fargo) .. just had me roaring with laughter..
Melissa McCarthy! thanx for the warning, removing from list now!
I can’t stand her myself.. She is pretty damn good in this show..They keep her on a leash i think.. not a lot of her usual antics and hate disguised as humor.. check it out , you may be surprised ..
well that episode sucked.. could have been shortened to 7 minutes.. lol..Next ne will be better I trust ..
Jessica Rabbit .. Lol .. This is shaping up to be in the company of preacher and the like .. very cool..
ok watched ep 1 and all i have t say is hmmmmmm —this could be good if it gets the same treatment as legion, otherwise it looks setup to be bla. don’t get me wrong i think it will be good like wandavision but not great like legion.
hope it good.. Wanda did not catch on with me..I may have to give it another try..
ell.. That was pretty good actually . Steve was great.. nice moustache ..
Yeah, that is what the main fan theory people have been talking about since episode 2 has been, good job.
i was twigged when she knew who the guy they were looking for was
staring to think omega may be a clone jedi or something
I had hoped he would make an appearance!! Woohoo! Now I officially love this show!
Feels like the have suddenly decided on a new story. or something like that..
Really liking this show, however that beard in ep. 11 is just drove me crazy.. so phony.. someone fire the beard artist..lol..
been waiting fer this one.. big fan of the clone war/rebel line and the animation..
best thing she said was at the beginning.. “don’tlisten to me” …brainwashed puppett.. mom and dad must be grooming her fer a carrer in film now..
john sold out a while ago.. just another party line part of the propoganda now a days .. :(
was a great movie..look out star wars , and expanse.. :) i was very surprised..

Hmm , different .. oddly.. I like it so far.. sorta like if pratchett did happy .. ?? lol
all the episodes and links for this show have been screwwy since day 1..
