Stuck on the wrong train, but it’s paying the bills…
Mid 40s, she/her, Scottish. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Book lover, pro science, anti bigotry, travel enthusiast and crap-but-I-enjoy-it gardener. Massive remoaner 🇪🇺, and aging Pokémon nerd.
I’d cheerfully go broke buying Elaidas striped dress, or Lanfears black & white number, and just about every outfit Leanne, Moiraine and Liandrin appeared in.

YES, Thank You! Amazon really arsed it up by not selling any WoT merchandise (or really promoting the show at all, come to that). I’d have LOVED an auction for show props and would likely have spent a not-very-sensible amount of money on WoT themed stuff.
June 13, 2025 at 3:06 PM
Yeah wouldn’t it just! I actually quite enjoy RoP, but WoT was definitely the better of the two.

May his knob shaped rocket explode, absolute arsehole that he is.
May 24, 2025 at 5:37 AM
And mine. That show was the one and only reason I was paying any money to arse face Bezos, so he can piss right off after this. I’m SO mad right now.
May 24, 2025 at 4:47 AM
I mean Bezos could have had his GoT, it was a GOOD show and was gaining momentum and popularity, but he didn’t want to spend money marketing it, so here we all are. Arse face that he is…

Done, in disgust, as soon as I read about WoT being cancelled. Zero reason to give that arsehole one penny of my money now. 😡
May 24, 2025 at 4:25 AM
OMG what the hell is their PROBLEM?! The latest series was superb, and did really well both in reviews and viewing figures. Away to cancel Prime video, again. 🤬

Much as I love the books, the show has been better at depicting complex, interesting characters. (Pretty much all of them tbh but Liandrin stands out most for me). Siuan storyline is better in the show, and the series has cut some of the sillier book romances out, thankfully!

I’m another fan of Moiraines hat, and I feel like the good milliners of the world need to start selling it, somewhere. It’s a good sunhat!

To find out the perspective of people whose lives are very different from your own: the world would be very dull if everybody thought and did the same things. Not everybody is able to travel, but this is something most people can do quite easily.

I love the books as well as the show but much prefer TV Liandrin to book Liandrin. TV version is a much more complicated and interesting character, and her backstory being shown really adds a lot.

Oh dear lord how much would I love a glossy printed copy of ‘Elaidas Look book’ of all her costumes and hairstyles 😍

Shoreh is a superb casting choice, she’s absolutely perfect.
March 14, 2025 at 4:19 PM
I think the photos in the news of the herd of police lined up outside a Tesla showroom recently sums up very concisely just how close to home she was with that!

Maybe not implemented irl the exact way she has written, but ‘pay to play’ definitely operating on some levels there.
March 14, 2025 at 4:03 PM
She’s absolutely brilliant. Completely steals the show every scene she’s in. 😍

1) Alanna squaring up to the Liandrin crew
2) Egwenes embroidered bolero - ME WANT!
3) Snakes and Foxes game
4) Mat showing off with his portrait.

(I’ll probably come up with a whole other list when I watch it again - there was SO much going on there).

Light Sabre duel between Master Yoda and Count Dooku.

I mean we all knew Yoda had it in him, but it was such fun to actually see him roll his sleeves up and fight a bad guy.

Read both books a few months ago, god they are terrifying. Brilliant, but terrifying.
March 6, 2025 at 3:56 AM
Overall, not my favourite of the books - too much politicking both in Team Camelyn and Team rebel Aes Sedai.

On the other hand: “Birgitte Trahelion is a silly bint” -genuine LOL.

Definitely dying to read the next one to find out WTF Tuon is actually up to though..

I still quite like Eaganin.
March 3, 2025 at 3:48 PM
Oh god, I’m onto Crossroads of Twilight now and I have to say all this Camelyn-politicking is…not my favourite! I have wanted to rattle the youngsters from time to time, but I took that as deliberate and part of the fun.
You’ll hear me shout if that tramp Renna gets a redemption arc!!
