What does "&c" mean? It's an old-fashioned abbreviation for et cetera.

Just putting this here for those who might miss it.

I saw season 1 and it was...okay? I gather that Wheel of Time diehards were upset about plot deviations. I never read the books so that didn't matter much to me. IMO the world setting seemed janky - it was as though Robert Jordan couldn't build an original world to save his life and borrowed bits and pieces of different Earth cultures and threw them in a blender. I could pass on the next season but I have too many people around me who will want to watch it so I feel somewhat compelled to.

What did you think of season 1? Will you be watching season 2?

Well, like you say, most are fireballs, panoramas and explosions, with vague sentences. That one is indeed much better, referencing the end of season 1, and glimpses that mean a lot for book readers. I think it'll have much more direction than s1 at least.
