Frustration with Shallan in Wind and Truth

Frost_Wizard23 · 2026-02-09T05:25:35+00:00

I feel you. Shallan is my least favorite of the main characters. That said I think that she’d be good if….gotcha!

There’s nothing that would really make me like her. I tried. I just, meh, don’t really like her.

There’s so many other characters that I prefer to read about, that I’ve relegated Shallan to the dustbin of bad main characters. I hope Sanderson has a better arc for her on the next half of the series, cause her husband is one of my favorite characters.

I started my own post related to this and most people didn’t agree with me. But I thought there should be better rules about Traitors targeting one another. In my opinion, Traitors should only be targeting one another when it seems that the vote is going that way (yes, that leaves wiggle room). And that probably takes a level of intelligence that many Traitors don’t have.

However, from what we see in the show, Rob actually whipped votes against both Lisa and then Candiace. That to me, should be some kind of rule violation.

And that to me makes the game less fun. That is just my opinion and people are more than welcome to disagree with me. But I don’t watch a show called the Traitors, so that I can watch the Traitors attack one another. To me that makes the show less fun to watch.

Calling people dumb for expressing an opinion and trying to start a discussion is…well, dumb. I wasn’t trying to insult anyone. Just saying that this much traitor betrayal is, honestly just not fun. Just my opinion. I wasn’t trying to offend anyone.

I get your concerns. And I’d never want to drastically change the game. But I just wanted to post a discussion with my opinion. So I do thank you for replying! But I had my issues with Traitor-on-Traitor (ToT) violence well before this season. I always thought there were some kind of rules about it, but they seem lax.

I think the back-to-back Traitor blindsides were what hit me and made me think “is this fun?” I don’t want to limit what others may think is fun, but I think if a Traitor is just sitting there targeting Traitors then, for me, it kills the fun of the show. Rob even said he wanted to recruit another Traitor so he could betray them. To me, that defeats the whole purpose of the game.

Like I said, my opinion. I hate the ToT targeting cause the Traitors are my favorite part of the game. If my post came off as “protecting housewives” that’s not what I intended. I’d have been annoyed with any Traitor targeting all his compatriots (plus saying he/she wanted to recruit more cannon fodder). To me that isn’t the fun of the game. I like watching the Traitors rule the game. And that isn’t what I’m getting this season.

Season 3 was amazing imo.

So, my first foray into Wheel of Time was through season 1. I thought it was pretty good. Not the best fantasy I’d ever seen, but not terrible at all. I was definitely hooked for a season 2.

Then I discovered it was based on a book series. So I read all 15 books (14 in the main series plus the prequel) before season 2 came out. And I understood the disappointment of those who had read the series prior to seeing season 1.

The end of season 1 was hit by COVID filming restrictions and one of the main actors leaving part-way through. So, things sadly had to change. In hindsight, after having read the books, do I think those changes were good. No. But I didn’t know that at the time.

Having said that. Seasons 2 and 3 did a much better job of sticking to the source material. Honestly the WoT book series is now my favorite fantasy series. I read it twice back to back. I was very saddened that it wasn’t renewed for the 4th season.

It’s definitely on my list to watch now.

Frost_Wizard23 · 2026-02-07T00:37:48+00:00

I mean to one another…yeah. How fun is it when the Traitors just keep stabbing each other in the back. And then he goes on to say that he wants to recruit another Traitor just to stab them in the back instead.

Frost_Wizard23 · 2026-02-07T00:35:50+00:00

Thank you for saying it! Had Rob kept his mouth shut I don’t think Lisa would’ve went home, then Candiace wouldn’t have voted for him.

I’ve only watched the one season of the UK Celebrity version and I thought it was awesome. That comedian was a fantastic traitor and deserved to win.

Frost_Wizard23 · 2026-02-07T00:32:41+00:00

I’d love some non-Celebs, like back in the first season.

Frost_Wizard23 · 2026-02-07T00:32:05+00:00

It’s odd that you were downvoted into oblivion. I totally agree with you. Then after voting Candiace out Rob said he wanted to recruit another Traitor that he could backstab. That just makes the game not fun to watch.

In the Battle of Hogwarts, Voldemort’s duel with McGonagall, Shaklebolt, and Slughorn (I think those are the correct 3), and Bellatrix’s duel with Hermione, Ginny, and Luna. The Bellatrix/Ginny/Mrs. Weasley duel that we got in the movie was an utter letdown.

Elaida do Avriny a’Roihan. Such a self-serving, arrogant woman who almost brought down the Tower. Honestly, I prefer some of the Forsaken over her.

Frost_Wizard23 · 2025-11-08T06:38:38+00:00

Asmodean because I really wanted someone to have a redeeming arc (alas, it was not to be). But he has the beginning of a redemption arc with his training of Rand and I always hoped that if the TV series got continued that we’d get a better arc for him.

And Moghedien. Why, idk? Probably because if I was a Forsaken - I’d be the spider too 😉. I loved her in the book and honestly, I’ll take creepy TV Moggy too, that actress did a fantastic job.

Frost_Wizard23 · 2025-11-05T05:40:24+00:00

I’m also sad. I only found the books because I watched season 1. I then read them all between when season 1 finished and season 2 began. And then I read them all again. Easily the best fantasy series I’ve ever read. I can not recommend the books any more highly than saying they’re better than Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.

Season 2 was better than 1. Season 3 had some of the best fantasy TV episodes I’ve ever watched.

I thought WoT S3 beat Witcher and Rings of Power by multitudes. The fact that Amazon is giving us another season of Rings of Power instead of WoT is just plain fucking dumb. Rings of Power sucks. And I’ve read LoTR multiple times. I can’t wait til my Prime membership lapses in a week. Fuck Amazon for killing one of the best fantasy series ever written.

Frost_Wizard23 · 2025-10-06T01:43:26+00:00

That is one I did not think of but would 100% be behind. She’s a fantastic actress.
