On first seasons and adaptability

Seeing Wheel of Time fans sort of humbly recognizing the first season wasn't great but it's okay since [insert perfectly reasonable, but still subjective points] is wild to me, because no, it was a really good first season in comparison to many of my favourite shows.

It's not rare for TV shows to stumble in their first season, but still find their footing later on. I genuinely don't think The Wheel of Time swayed at all. Many choices feel pointedly intent in their understanding of later arcs from the books. That should be a source of relief for book fans.

I had never heard about the books before and the show got me to embark on a reading journey that's thrice the length of Proust's Recherche. If this isn't a win for book fans, I do not understand what they wanted an adaptation for.

The last time I had been this excited for a weekly release was Ted Lasso. The Wheel of Time is well-made, enjoyable, often thrilling, with lots of heart and ambition, and most importantly very intentional, and all that from the start. I watch too much TV and these really aren't a given in a first season.

This is making me very curious about what people consider a great first season? What are the criteria, beyond viewing numbers, for a good or bad first season? I personally believe it is about introducing to a world, establishing themes and yes, ensnaring watchers the way a skillful storyteller grabs your attention.

Regardless of how the shows evolved afterwards, some of my most memorable first seasons are Elementary, The Good Place, the OA, GoT (begrudgingly), Pitch, for instance. Note that my favourite shows aren't in there.

In fact having a great first season is a rarity, most of us have to wait for the second or third season for the lore to kick in (Person of Interest) or the tone to feel self-assured (Star Trek Discovery). Which isn't necessarily a defect! This is what working with a long format like TV entails.

To expand on the Wheel of Time first season particularly, the argument I have seen the most is the faithfulness of the adaptation.

I am putting aside the fact that I don't think an adaptation has to be a faithful translation to be a good one (Jackson's Lord of the Rings, still one of my favourite movies) for the sake of the discussion.

To me, as standard Fantasy show goes, it's a great show so far. As an adaptation, it is so clever, both incorporating tiny blink and you'll miss it fanservice-ish elements (Aes Sedai taking back trays to in their rooms) and bigger commentary on the main themes (the Stepin arc and what it means for Lan, Nyn, Moi and Rand). The latter is often decried as being unnecessary invention, but this is where the question of adaptability comes into play.

Regarding what would be better referred to as the unadaptability of TEotW, I hadn't read the book before watching the show. Some of my favourite scenes are in fact in the books and never made it to the screen (Nynaeve and Moiraine's discussion about Aes Sedai, White Bridge). Some depictions didn't match what impressed me so much in the books (the Blight, small angry black-eyed Moiraine).

Yet, as I read some, I knew it would not work on-screen.

It's a different medium!

When I was 19, I started planning what was essentially a five acts tragedy about the events that led to the burning of the ships at Alqualondë (in alexandrins, please) from the Silmarillion. Spoilers: I never finished it, barely started it.

TV shows are as different from novels than ballet is from comics. It's not only about codes and norms, as creating in a particular medium often comes down to simple abject feasibility: you can with great difficulty have 3000 soldiers on stage for Le Cid.

But here's the thing, it's often from these very practical limitations that creation is born. Take the Ways: in the books, they captured my imagination the way some of Tolkien's best descriptions did, but there was no way to depict it without tons of CGI. It was bound to look silly. The show's answer is ancient, alien and vast, with visual echoes to our world, as it should be.

It's brilliant, it's stunning and it is an even greater hommage to Robert Jordan's mythology about Ogier and the age of the Ways.

(And I am not even broaching how great a job the show does editing the book, which is fascinating to me as I am making my way through the books. )

Does your fave love soup?

The answer is yes! Send 'em in! Everyone loves soup. I'll post 'em on the soup flag.

(flag id: two images of a five-striped flag. the colours are, in order: red, orange, dark yellow, lighter yellow, and green. the second image has an emoji of a pot of soup in the middle. /end id)

The flag is free to use with credit (mostly because I just love being tagged in stuff, please tag me if you make any soup edits!), and you can use it for icons or whatever you like!

Rules/Guidelines under the cut!

Rules:

Check if requests are open before sending them in!! If they're not open and you send a request I'll just delete it

Please send your character/person's name and what they're from in the ask

Please keep requests to one per ask (so i don't get mixed up and confused) (you can request multiple characters from one thing to be put on the same flag in one ask, though)

What I will do:

Characters from most things

Real people (to an extent, like, don't request anyone who's a huge bigot or something)

Objects, concepts, etc

Multiple characters on one flag (ex. "jim and pam from the office both love soup!", or something like that)

You can ask to specify what kind of soup they like, if you want (like tomato, pumpkin, etc), or say "[character] is trans/gay/bi/etc and loves soup"

What I won't do:

IRL bigots

Hamilton (falls under "irl bigots")

Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss

Harry Potter

Attack on Titan

Splatoon

HLVRAI

Hetalia

OCs (feel free to put your own OCs on the flag though! tag me and i'll reblog it!)

Tumblr blogs/your friends (once again, you can do it yourself!)

Mod Info:

Green

ae/they/he

autistic

i love sitcoms + the history of television!! my favourite movie is the truman show, and i cant pick a favourite tv show but i really like community, the good place, upload, and ted lasso!! my favourite video game is the beginner's guide but i like lots of games also

(Note: I try to write image IDs for all my posts + reblogs, but sometimes I forget! You can remind me, or help me out and write/find one for me to reblog!)

[tedlassogif]

if there are any abbott elementary fans giffing for the blog, could i possibly request a parallels set with roy/keely in 1.04 (the apologizing + being accountable matters thing) and janine/gregory in 1.02 ("i don't want to wait for someone to get to it" + gregory adjusting the picture)? those scenes gave me very similar vibes! thank you!!

I’m in love with Abbott Elementary and I adore this request/parallel. All Ted Lasso fans should watch AE because it is so sweet and wholesome and hilarious and will help you through this brutal TL hiatus!
