Twinblade★ 3,892 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I just finished binge watching the Korean Designated Survivor (60 Days). I was going to watch the first season of the original American version (which has keifer sutherland) but everything I read online indicated that the Korean version was better. Im glad I checked it out because its a really good show, and im not even into political dramas. Just a very interesting insight into Korean politics and how North Korea and the U.S. can factor into it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The first few minutes almost felt like a dream sequence where he's extra-mean. It felt weird, almost like a hyper version of Curb. Then it settled in after that with the house party and then the MAGA hat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome that you're currently reading it like I am, been dying to talk to someone about these book. Second half and especially the final third of Way of Kings is so damn good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome that you're currently reading it like I am, been dying to talk to someone about these book. Second half and especially the final third of Way of Kings is so damn good. Spoiler My man what a fun read this is. Still going through the build up stages obviously. The stuff with Dalinar, Alodin and the high princes have been my favorite arcs so far. Looking forward to getting to read more Shallan scenes. While they slow burn, have a lot of interesting lore and conversation. Kaladin kinda gets me up and down, I don't hate the character or anything but some of his stuff can get depressing but not in a way I find exciting to read, and his flashbacks to how he never wanted to be a surgeon get kinda tired but they are few and far between. I understand it's part of the development and showing a very human nature, but can simply not be fun to read. Present day Kal though, and the bridge runs are great. Right now I am at where Dalinar is trying to unify the bases and start getting more aggressive with the attacks on the Parshendi. Great world building as expected, awesome story telling that keeps in a constant state of guessing that is fun as hell, awesome magic system that is still building, And to a bit of my surprise character work that is actually really great..I had some doubts after I read the first Mistborn book; that didn't really resonate with me that way. This book is shitting all over it lmao. I think Sanderson can be a bit prudish at times but it's not effecting me like it did with Mistborn. Probably gonna finish the second part today.

Yeah it's definitely a slow burn, especially the first half of tWoK but the world building and the magic system Sanderson has created is amazing. Probably too complex and out there to ever be adapted to tv/movie. I enjoyed the Dalinar/Alodin stuff the most at those parts also, however Kaladin really shines in the final third. Has an absolutely epic ending. The Shallan stuff is all build up to her truly arguably becoming the best storyline in book 2 so far. Flashbacks for me also have been the weakest parts of the book (same in Book 2) but they are necessary for some context. Thankfully they are the shortest chapters usually aside from those ones between Parts. But yeah it is fulfilling all the promise of it's build up so far. Words of Radiance has a much much faster pace cause all the building has been done in WoK. I like how focused it is on those 3 central characters (4 I guess, but dalinar and adolin overlap) as opposed to Song of Ice and Fire which is constantly all over the place. It's actually my first Sanderson novels and went straight to what was regarded his best. Loving every part of it so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was really good, though I would have liked to see the story move forward in more significant ways. All of the character sub plots were great, I don't feel like there were any that I disliked or thought were weaker than the rest.

Twinblade★ 3,892 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 So season 2 of Altered Carbon releases next month, unfortunately they recast Joel Kinnaman's character which is disappointing. https://www.engadget.com/2020/01/21/netflix-altered-carbon-season-two-release-date/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
