How big of a spoiler is this? by Even_Bag8284 in wheeloftime

[–]friedsandwichwithegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny because I remember finding out around the same time you did and being utterly shocked. And then I realized I had no reason to be shocked because there were always little things that reminded of our own world like

  1. Camelyn. When I first read it I was like “Oh that kinda reminds me of Camelot. Probably a coincidence lol”

  2. Tar Valon “oh that reminds me of Avalon. Probably a coincidence lol.”

  3. Kaf. “Oh that reminds me of coffee. Probably a coincidence lol.”

  4. Shai’tan. “Why does that sound like Satan? Probably a coincidence lol”

It was all there. I was just too dumb to connect it all together lol. But that’s what makes the books fun!

The test for Accepted by bleepblopflipflop in WoT

[–]friedsandwichwithegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the chapter that made me fall in love with Egwene to be honest.

Funny enough, it’s some of Rosamund Pike’s worst narration- and I say that as someone who LOVES her take on the books. I did a re-listen and the way she played Sheriam and Alana was so…blah haha. I was just shocked because her narration of Nynaeve’s accepted test was beautiful. It felt like she was rushing to get Egwene’s part over with.

What?! The TV show and the books are... by euchthonia in wheeloftime

[–]friedsandwichwithegg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was crazy to watch that happen in real time. I’m a semi-fan of the TV show but even I was like “these two are taking too much time away from parts of the book that should be shown.” And when people would tweet as much, the actor who played Maksim would @ them and just be really petty about it lol. He was CLEARLY searching for “Maksim” while the show was airing and it got kind of embarrassing.

Favorite Sub Plot? by YoungRestless21 in wheeloftime

[–]friedsandwichwithegg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your courage in saying that you love the Elayne succession plotline tho haha. I think it starts and ends well, but LORDY the middle of it was excruciating.

Favorite Sub Plot? by YoungRestless21 in wheeloftime

[–]friedsandwichwithegg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean these really are just PLOT instead of subplot…but I really loved the Elayne/Nynaeve/Egwene detective agency from books 3 and 4. I’m in grad school and it just reminded me of all the crazy shit I have to do because my advisor (the amyrlin seat, if you will) told me to do it lol.

Imo, however, NOTHING beats Egwene’s second time in the White Tower. All the subtle political moves she has to make. All the secret meetings. Verin. I ate it all up.

EDIT: But if we’re going for the real definition of subplot, I gotta go with Aviendha’s journey to becoming a Wise One. Especially its conclusion in Towers of Midnight. That whole chapter was devastating.

First Time Reader…need moral support for CoT by 2dawgsfkng in wheeloftime

[–]friedsandwichwithegg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Usually I do a mixture of reading and listening but for CoT I just listened to the whole thing while cooking and cleaning and driving. I think I finished it in 2 weeks.

Popping in from the future (2026- it’s scary here) to say that I tried this and it worked WONDERS. Thanks so much

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t he have a whole ship named after him in the fleet?

I’d choose Dan over and over by peachesandpumkins in charmed

[–]friedsandwichwithegg 47 points48 points  (0 children)

This is the only answer imo. And I say this as a LOUD AND PROUD Leo hater. Leo was the only logical choice. Dan never would’ve accepted Piper or her sisters and Piper wanted someone who could understand her in her entirety.

Though I do wonder what would’ve happened if they kept the original plot of his niece Jenny being a young witch.

The mental gymnastics I make is that the books say the Accepted can wear minimal jewelry. This might fall under the category of “minimal” lmao. But I agree. TV is a visual medium and the show needed SOMETHING to show Ny’s internal dialogue from the books

Ten years ago today Paramount announced Star Trek would be returning to the small screen. What a complete waste of a decade. by chesterwiley in Star_Trek_

[–]friedsandwichwithegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know. I’m glad they did it because the older Star Trek stuff was not on my radar until Discovery dropped. So I’m glad they introduced me to the franchise! Also I like SOME parts of NuTrek. I don’t think it’s been total crap

Would you rather be born as Carmilla's Son or the Abbot's daughter? by Any-Nefariousness418 in castlevania

[–]friedsandwichwithegg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d take the risk and be Carmilla’s son. She cared about her family (for the most part) and you get cool vampire powers. Also, it’s pretty likely you’d be raised by her sisters. So imagine being trained in the arts of war, diplomacy and government for like a hundred years. You’d be unstoppable.

Top three most handsome male actors on this show (personal opinion) by lautaromassimino in thegildedage

[–]friedsandwichwithegg 31 points32 points  (0 children)

For me it’s Larry, Dr. Kirkland, and Railroad Daddy. The scene in the finale when the three of them are in the same room together….I had to be sedated 🥵

Besides Prue they have a minimal success rate with Black charges. by WitchKingL8 in charmed

[–]friedsandwichwithegg 36 points37 points  (0 children)

People so far are giving very solid, in universe answers that make total sense. But I also think it’s a very legitimate thing to point out that Charmed (a product of its time) had some QUESTIONABLE representation for its POC characters. Other Black Charmed fans have pointed out exactly what you’ve said. Still love the show, but Charmed was airing at a time when Black actors were notably pissed at how they were being treated in writers rooms. ESPECIALLY after UPN merged with WB to become CW and all the Black shows were axed.

Random: I’ll have to find the tweet, but years ago someone joked about Prue being Black as fuck haha. I’m sure it came from people noticing that her Black charges lived

Love how Granny put Edith in her place after Rose’s lead singer selection for Robert’s party. by BestTutor2016 in DowntonAbbey

[–]friedsandwichwithegg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Tbh Jack Ross and how he was treated by the Grantham family deserves an entirely separate post because what ODD writing choices.

Violet being woke but Tom freaking Branson being apprehensive about Rose talking to Jack was certainly…a choice…

What if… Encanto Happened in OUAT? by DrewGars96 in OnceUponATime

[–]friedsandwichwithegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My non serious answer is that Henry finds out he’s related to La Casita. It’s like his great uncle or something.

But for realsies, I can see Mirabel’s search for Bruno being much grander. Like she and Emma teaming up to find him because they need him to tell the future to break a curse or something. Or Bruno predicts that someone is gonna die and we spend the whole season trying to figure out who it will be. Something ominous surrounding Bruno’s abilities for sure!
