Same Story, Different Century

I literally thought Nick Blaine's arc on the Handmaid's Tale was all the disappointment I could afford this week and then, right after a less than ideal day at work, I come home to the news they've cancelled my show, my comfort, my weekly breathtaking hour of television... they cancelled The Wheel of Time!

THIS SHOW!!!!!???

Nothing more fiendish and hollow than the streaming platform. Like television, my beloved, come back!

What a terrible, no-good, horrible year it has been to be a fan (for me) this year.

Honestly, from the costumes to the sets to the locations and the growth of the young actors, the passion put in by Rosmund and O'Keeffe and Sophie Okonedo, I am so disheartened by this news.

Some other network needs to snatch up those TV rights and save my show, man.

My Fishwives. My favourite girl in STEM that acidentally drilled a hole too deep into the cosmos and became a bad bitch, Lanfear! Lan and Nynaeve and the epicness of their love story and duty to Malkier! Perrin and Faile's instant chemistry! Josha growing into his stride as Rand more and more! Aviendha and Elayne! Egwene being the gender-role reversal of fantasy's male hero archetype that seeks out power and refuses to settle down. Mat Cauthon winning my heart and being played masterfully and brightly by Donal Finn. Moghedien! You were so creepy and awkward, I just know you would have killed it as the main big bad if we had a 4th season.

The music! The Fenn! The practical effects!

This is so not my week.

and she does all these pinterest crafts and now she makes little bejeweled vials of healing potions for him and his buddies. my little geek heart can’t handle all this.
