The Wheel of Time (S03 E1-5) | Better Than The Rings of Power

Rafe Judkins' adaptation returns with style for a third season tackling a pair of huge novels at once through condensed and remixed storylines—but how well is it working? In episode 344, join writer Luke Elliott and filmmaker James Bailey as they break down one of the most ambitious adaptations being attempted on tv right now, pick cast favorites, react to the possible Elayne & Aviendha ship, and compare WOT so far to Amazon’s other high price-tag fantasy offering: The Rings of Power. Join them next week as they finish out both the show and THE SHADOW RISING then vote on which one is ultimately better, book or show.

Season 3 episodes covered: 

1 To Race the Shadow

2 A Question of Crimson

3 Seeds of Shadow

4 The Road to the Spear

5 Tel’aran’rhiod
