    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Just finished the third ep. Holy fuck is this season delivering so far.


    I am actually glad it’s doing the one ep a week model. I hate how I can’t look up stuff on a show until I’ve seen all the episodes in case I run into spoilers.

    I wouldn’t want ever single show to be this way, but it’s enjoyable to have some shows where you can talk to people as it progresses. And this is a show that needs a sharing of “What in the actual fuck just happened” after almost every one.

    I'd more prefer if it was 2-3 episodes a week instead of trying to milk it for two months in the off-chance they catch people with a subscription renewal during that period who would otherwise stop the service.

    That third episode though...

    I'm glad that most of the trailers (that I can recall) seem to be pretty much exclusive to these three though

    I feel this will be better for the wife and I watching it together. We really only watch TV together 1-2 nights a week because the rest I'm playing video games while she reads.

    The weekly release is both to keep people subscribed and to keep people talking about it.

    All the content producers are looking for the next big piece of TV monoculture to replace Game of Thrones, and weekly release is part of that playbook

    Someone green light the Stormlight Archive. That will be the next GoT.

    It's not finished yet but unlike GRRM, Brandon Sanderson pumps out books like a madman.

    I got the wife interested in watching the show so it'll take us a month or so to get through season 1, so by the time I catch back up season 2 should be done. With a baby and me working 2nd shift, we only get weekend nights to watch stuff.


    And as far as Stormlight TV show, it would still catch up pretty quickly, even if it takes 5 years or so before it initially gets put up on the screen. Each book could be 2-3 seasons if the showrunners are completely true to the book, but I'm not sure how good that would make for TV. And the more Sanderson gets into this series, I get the feeling the longer it will take to get a new book out. Definitely not as long as Martin or Rothfuss, but I could easily see it taking 3-4 years between books occasionally.

    Nah. Arc 1 of Stormlight is only 5 books. Book 4 comes out this Nov and book 5 is slated for 2022. If they started filming right this second the show would only really be taking off right before Book 5 is out.

    Arc 2 is another 5 books but it's not going to be a direct continuation of the current narrative. It'll further the story in the same world but will revolve around a new set of characters. Could totally see 5 seasons of Stormlight finishing out the first story. Couple years of break and yet another 5 seasons. That wouldn't finish until 2034~. He'll be done by all the books by then.

    Yeah it seems to be that way. I think we will wrap up with the current story with book 5. I'm hype as fuck.

    I imagine a decent amount of people subbed to prime just to watch this, assuming it would be released all at once like nearly everything else on amazon, including season 1 of this show.

    Did they communicate it would be a weekly release in trailers and whatnot? If not, I can kind of understand the reaction.

    It was known at least like 2 weeks out, that's when I first saw mention of it. Edit : beaten by qal

    Also, there are people who subscribe to Prime for just a single show?

    same

    also from the review scores i've seen there's a lot of anti-SJW sentiment driving the review bombing, it's not just the release schedule

    also i may have binge watched the whole shebang in 3 days

    Spoiler: show

    Homelander #1 evil laboratory rapist murderer mutation with textbook attachment disorder

    the acting can be uneven and the Deep's B-plot is p bad and drags forever but darn good show, darn good. laughs and ultraviolence but also rather clever if on the nose in what it says about capitalism and corporate personhood and anything up to and including sexual assault being co-opted by the machine for the bottom line. good character moments throughout for a show that sells so hard to the hits and tits crowd, Noir learning how he was created and sobbing to himself with his gilded statue in the fore-shot was mwah.

    I haven’t watched S2E1 yet, but wasn’t the tone of the first series very SJW friendly? Kinda lost why they’re still on board with the show and they just now realized.
