    Wheel of Time (Episodes 6-8): Tackling a Controversial Ending

    Wait… eight episodes? I thought it would be hard to condense the first book into ten episodes. And they only got eight? Alright. Let’s see how this went. The ending of ‘The Eye of the World’ is often seen as the weakest part of that book. And for good reason. It felt incredibly rushed and…
