Amazon’s Wheel of Time Judd or whatever his name is straight up lied and said it was faithful to the books. I’m still so salty about that.

In that case, you may throw a stick at that guy! (not really though, :P) Mean to outright lie to the fans.

What seems faithful to one reader might seem utterly bonkers to another, because they interpreted the work in different ways. I think it’s unwise to assume that someone’s interpretation will be anything like yours, and that’s not even getting to changes necessary to make the transition to a different medium and context work.
Novels also allow a lot of vagueness in one’s interpretation that doesn’t get in the way of enjoying the work, but film and TV adaptations have to be more specific - and there’s no way to make something specific that’s faithful to something vague, anything specific will feel shallower. Some people will in the blanks with their own details, but for those who do not, this can make any adaptation feel wrong.

nod nod Exactly this. One does not simply take dialogue and turn a book into a movie.
Yes. I looked up Minas Tirith ((LoTR) and the film’s rendering of it was interesting, certainly more solid that my imagining of it would have been. That’s just one bit of architecture and characters are much more difficult to render with “accuracy”.

Getting back on my feet,literally. Many shots of medicine left ( those painful ones which goes to your bum ) and procedures left but at least no permanent damage , seems that way at least.
One of the vertebra decided to get ‘stuck’ and caused inflammation .

Have you considered picking the masochist perk for yourself and turn all that pain and agony into enjoyment?
Joke aside, glad to hear you’re at least getting better.

Dear Friends, Fans, Colleagues, World,
I regret to inform you that a great light in the firmament no longer shines for us as it has for so many years.
Last night, my mother, Nichelle Nichols, succumbed to natural causes and passed away. Her light, however, like the ancient galaxies now being seen for the first time, will remain for us and future generations to enjoy, learn from, and draw inspiration.
Hers was a life well lived and as such a model for us all.
I, and the rest of our family, would appreciate your patience and forbearance as we grieve her loss until we can recover sufficiently to speak further. Her services will be for family members and the closest of her friends and we request that her and our privacy be respected.
Live Long and Prosper,
Kyle Johnson (https://uhura.com/)
