Talk:The Wheel of Time (TV series)

Too long or excessively detailed plot summaries
Just curious why some second season episodes were tagged as such. They are pretty long and detailed, but the nature of the show with so many perspectives, and trying to condense 2 books into 8 episodes means there is a lot of relevant details =D

If someone has ideas on how to condense this, I'd be curious about the approach.

Only thought I had was maybe splitting it up into the summary of each perspective or something... I think it would make it even longer, but might feel more concise on each plot progression? AlasdairHutchinson (talk) 14:24, 14 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Per MOS:TVPLOT, "plot summaries of no more than 200 words per episode should ideally be presented in a table". I've seen 2.5hr-long TV episodes (such as in Sense8 and Stranger Things) abide by the limit of 200 words; this series certainly can as well. -- Alex_ 21 TALK 20:55, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

I think it is dishonest to not include or allow any comments that the TV show is not true to the source material
I have seen plenty of entries on Wikipedia that mention that certain other book adapations have not been faithful to their respective source material. This can and is an objective fact and is not a matter of opinion, yet whenever this page is edited to state as such, the edit is removed. These pages are supposed to be reflective of facts are they not? Surely it is acceptable to state that the series has not been received well by many who have read the books due to heavy deviations in the TV show. 2A02:C7E:28C5:7400:A115:1780:4431:4386 (talk) 22:03, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Commentary about this is fine if it has been noted by reliable sources. So an editor can't just decide "this isn't like the source material" and write that here. If a reliable source, like a review in a reliable publication/website, makes this point then it can be included, if notable. But EVERY adaptation is going to differ from the source material, so not every discrepancy is notable. In the case of The Wheel of Time, it doesn't seem like there are gigantic differences that notably change the narrative or concept. But if you can refer me to such coverage that you think might be relevant to this article, I can check it out and we can discuss it here. Thanks.— TAnthonyTalk 22:48, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "Fact" is not a thing on Wikipedia. Nor is "opinion". Reliable secondary sourcing, however, is, per WP:RS and WP:V. If you have the reliable sources to back up what you're saying, other than "I know it's true", then please, by all means. -- Alex_ 21 TALK 08:23, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
