Wheel of Time ... I feel somewhat reassured
Here's the same trailer with commentary from the showrunner, and I feel more reassured about the 3 oaths and their not being dumbed down.
And I do want to stress, I see several things I like in the trailer:

I had the best DUMB Nightmare last night
I had the best "dumb nightmare" last night. Y'know, the nightmare that has you panicked at the time, but 5 seconds after you wake up, you are ROFL?
Somehow I had moved to LA (WTF?) and transferred to UCLA and registered for a bunch of grad level MPA classes so I could complete my degree.
Only, MPA stood for Motion Picture Administration. These were ( Read more... )
