the wheel of time episode seven this was one that was either going to really make or break the season for me i have been whiffle waffling hard with certain elements this show i've really enjoyed and others that have been needing work i've already accepted this is like another turning of the wheel it's not exactly the books and changes need to be made to condense it to eight episodes we know for sure that rafe wanted more in the studio told him no how that makes sense i have no idea they put so much money into this show but we have eight and seven did a lot of the leg work that was needed for this season to actually be positive for me that being said i yet again still had criticisms before we get into my review summary this episode i'm just going to say thank you to lord of maps for sponsoring this video more on them before the raiding all right i just want to go ahead and put it forth best cold open yet and i've said that a few times basically every cold open to this show i have liked more than the actual cold open to the first episode we have gotten but i still think the one we should have had before episode one is logan's entrance but here we have a maiden of the spear a member of the ideal massacring people left and right well giving birth and i've been wondering how are they going to make the ideal leave an impression on the viewer mission PROFANITY_TOKEN accomplish the first encounter we've had with a living ideal is this brutality where we see someone who yes is in the throes of labor just kill four or five people in fairly well choreographed action at least it was shot really well so kudos i enjoyed it quite a bit and we have an ending that leaves us on a bit of a cliffhanger as a knight shows up holding a blade to her throat i'm going to see some people i'm sure upset that this ideal was killing with their veil down and all that but for me if you're in labor it's pretty understandable you're not gonna take the time to do that no matter how hard your cultural devotion is and on top of that these changes that allow people to act more i'm not really gonna have a problem with call me uh he's into the wheel of time but i don't want an actor's face obscured especially in a scene like this but that's my subjective date i will say i was watching this episode with kayla and she was losing her sh any visuals of a woman giving birth massacring nights in slo-mo and i have to admit i was like yeah i've i've never seen that before well done that was cool ginger ninjas are here and my last comments here are gonna be again this show is surprisingly brutal which i feel is the correct choice to make that's subjective but jordan's writing was not to get into the gore but often imply it and the show either could pg thirteenify itself and stay more true to the tone of the writing or be bloody and actually show what the book just kind of hinted at like if you've read the wheel at a time as many times have i had you really pick up on the fact that there's a
