  1. Thanks for being an awesome host, Mike! Thanks also to Sarah for anchoring this chat in some sort of reality and to Allen for being Allen, which no one else could do. I had a blast!

  2. You always get the best out of Allen when he’s in these kind of group settings. I freaking love the rants. This was amazing y’all. Please, more of this Mike. What an all star cast to kick the series off with.

  6. What a fun chat. I love the juxtaposition between Allen's passionate education rant and his Jade Legacy rant. The idea that reading that book would compare in life importance as to marrying his wife really tickled me.

  24. One positive example of changing the source material somewhat is Hannibal imo. Because there were so many adaptions before it, it was the perfect opportunity for Bryan Fuller to do sth different and I think it's glorious. But if you look at it closely, he understood perfectly what Hannibal is at its core and just put a darkly romantic, operatic, surreal spin on it. I guess where that approach fails is when writers want to change sth and don't really get what it's really about in the first place. E.g. series trying to replicate GoT by putting lots of violence and nudity in there.

  31. Wish I was able to watch this live.
    Following up on the education discussion, it is also a sad state when having an education is seen as a bad thing as you are then an 'elite' which has become a pejorative.
    But I am not the biggest fan of Toll. There are sone good parts but the overall tone, as well as Dust, are just very depressing.
    But I also don't care for God Emperor which could not end soon enough.

  34. All my favourites on one screen! Thank you, this was so cool.

    Allen's rant would be 100% accurate in my country as well. The school system has been rebuilt to bring it closer to the US one, and the troubles are much the same.

  37. I just realized that Lan is an unrealized king, a hero who has a relationship with the hero/mentor and falls in love with another (Nynaeve)
    I would like someone with a strong education in history, myths,legends, religion, meta physics, and psychology analysis and make parallels with Wheel of Time.

  39. I feel Allen’s pain regarding teaching. I’m a career military guy and then taught high school for 16 years. I couldn’t take it anymore and quit last September. Best decision I ever made. I do miss the book recommendations I used to get from my students who actually read books. 😀

  43. Haha that story about Sarah's kids arguing with their dad about 6 v 9 Star Wars movies is kind of how am with Godfather. People seriously try to convince me there's a third, I don't know why.

  45. Agree with Allen on teaching… I graduated in 08 in a rural community.. class of ~120… and I think 4 maybe out of ALL my teachers my whole high school gave more than 1/2 a shit. Honestly those 4 prob gave 100+% while the rest gave 8% or less.
