Wheel of Time showrunners watching Lord of the Rings and House of the Dragon:
The rings of power isn’t getting the friendliest coverage among critics but it’s still infinitely better than the turd that was wheels of time season 1.

I won’t be touching season 2.Wheel of Time showrunners watching Lord of the Rings and House of the Dragon:

Basically.
It's a fungal infection that takes control of people and slowly wastes them away, and also turns them violent. People in the early stages of infection will look more or less like people, but as you see at the end of the trailer, later stages feature some pretty advanced fungal growth. I have no idea what they're going to put into the show, but there are some versions that are even more fucked up than the clicker you see in the trailer.
Shows looks good. Bella Ramsey as Ellie still continues to baffle me but hard to judge anything at this point.
That being their reasoning is exactly why I’m skeptical. A small bit part on Thrones, to potentially carrying a flagship show by herself in the future. I’d hope there was a bit more to the choice than that.HBO likes to keep things in house. She was on Thrones and everyone loved her, so why not cast her here too?
At this point, I pretty much just give HBO the benefit of the doubt when it comes to casting. They rarely miss.

Still really looking forward to it though.
